Guess what was just delivered to my door, a week and a half early?


Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash: Piracy, Sexuality, and the Masculine Identity
Turley shows the ways in which sodomy and piracy are inextricable from the cultural imagination of the eighteenth century and, in doing so, encourages us to rethink not only pirate history, but the history of sexuality as well.

Apparently it's really dry and academic, but it sounds SEXY anyways!

What's next on my books to buy list? The $99US Absolute Sandman, and the slightly cheaper Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition: English Sea Rovers in the Seventeenth-Century Caribbean. Academia, how I love thee!

Major props to when_it_rained for pointing me towards Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash. There shall be lending of it.
