I slept some more. More strange dreams.

I'm finding it hard to get into the first Xanth book, even though I've read it before. I think it's the heterosexism. There's this line where Bink, the main character, is thinking about how he's reacted to seeing a sexy woman, and he excuses this by saying that he'd hardly be human if he didn't react to the sight. I guess that means when gays don't respond to a beautiful sexy woman, that it's a sign they aren't people. Erg. Annoying. The book was written in 1977. It seems to me that a later Xanth novel ("Demons Don't Dream") had a touch of homosexuality though. I can't remember what it was though. Whatever. I still have happy memories of "Question Quest".
