This is an update to my post http://www.geetamenon.com/news/free-press-or-devolution/

As many of you know, a book called “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure” was released last month on Amazon. Amazon yanked the book from it’s website soon after the release. Now the author, Philip Greaves, has been arrested.

There’s hope for society yet!

There’s a book on Amazon called “A Pedophile’s Guide To Love and Pleasure”.

No, I’m not smoking pot. I read about this on TechCrunch. See for yourself.

Someone’s twisted enough to write this? I only hope the venture is a misguided money-making ploy, not a presentation of the author’s true views. I can’t believe Amazon’s sanctioning such a thing. As a writer, I’m all for freedom with words. But shouldn’t the line be drawn somewhere?

And people are actually downloading this disgusting tripe. It’s the 158,221st bestselling kindle book in the store.

Words fail me…
