Avid Naked Readers
For those who love to read, either old fashioned paper books ( and my preferred way) or the new fangled ebooks. There was a book reading nudist group at one time but i have not found any trace of it. So this will fill the void.

Naked
Return to Discussionsdoes the word 'naked' jump out at you when you are browsing book titles like it does for me? I haunt used book stores and the first place I look is the adventure travel section. Once in a while I find a book with Naked or Nude in it's title and more often than not buy it.
I decided to collect those books and put the group on display in my home. There are about a dozen, have them in a stack, just have not figured out where to put them that the grouping will catch people's eye.
I am currently reading Dancing Naked in the Mind Field by Kary Mullis, a Nobel Prize winning chemist with a very different point of view on life and science and has a wicked fun side.
I've got a large section of my library devoted to titles that include the word, "Naked": Going Naked Is the Best Disguise; Praying Naked; The Naked Christian; Naked Spirituality; Naked: A Cultural History; Naked at Lunch ... (there are many more),
Jeez, you'd think I was a nudist or something.
Oh, but I'm naked as I type this, so maybe I am.
This post made me wonder how my collection does.
I have three books with the word "naked" in the title. Only one of them, "Naked," by David Sedaris, has anything to do with nudity (in one of his essays). The Isaac Asimov novel, "The Naked Sun" has nothing to do with nudity.
I have nine books with the word "Nude" in the title, all of which use it in the literal sense. This list includes "John Singer Sargent: The Male Nudes" and "3-D Physiques: The Stereo Nudes of Denny Denfield." The 3D book combines two of my interests: male nudes and 3D photography.
