Soren Kierkegaard is

Kierkegaard’s radical

changed people’s lives. His distrust of grand
abstract schemes, particularly Hegel’s, and
his insistence that philosophy is essentially
writing also identify him as a forerunner of
postmodernism.

Dr. Herb Goldberg
It is not uncommon

have failed him. Herb Goldberg attempts to
bridge the gap between a man’s naturally

How to provide and

Paul Joannides;
Illustrated by
Daerick Gross, Sr.
Some people say The
Guide is the best howto book on sex ever
written—we say it’s
the most fun to read. It is smart enough to
be used in sex education courses, but is also
a favorite at stores that sell the kind of sex
toys that will land you in the slammer in
Mississippi, Alabama and Texas. Schools
even use it to train doctors. The Guide covers
a full range of topics from romance, necking
and losing your virginity, to things we can’t
even mention here.
