this occoured to me the other day:
it seems few books to portray furries. among these, the most widely known is Maurice Sendak's classic, "Where the wild things are"
Am I completely off base here? is this an interesting thought?

Take yoru medication. Nothing has, was, or will ever be written about furries, other than by furries.

This book was written for the New Age market, specifically aimed at people who are interested in totemism. In the end it credits the furry fandom as a serious, spiritual community that started it all and encourages the reader to seek them out for further guidance. No where in this book does Rosalyn Greene mention furry sexuality.

I've been trying to figure out who this person is.

I've read all kind of atrocities on books. From those claiming that the Bermuda Triangle was an interdimensional portal to Lilliput or something like that, to those claiming the moon is a giant spaceship put there by a now defunct extra-terrestrial civilization just to watch us.

I read a copy of Charles Berlitz's "Doomsday:1999" back in the late 80s, and read all those inverosimile theories about prophecies by infalible past civilizations and nuclear attacks on the bronze age and similar stuff.

I've also read books by some authors denying the existance of the nazi Holocaust. I've read books where the author affirms the world was created the year 4004 BC, at about 6:00 PM. In other words, I've read vazillions of insults to intelligence in books.

But this affirmation surpasses anything I've read in sheer inverosimilitude. "furry fandom as a serious, spiritual community" is as incongruent as saying Bill Gates invented Cedar Cheese.

Apologize me if I can't find an adequate word in English to express how perplexed I am to read that. All I can do is use an Spanish phrase: "¿Pero cómo se puede decir un disparate así?"

Rosalyn goes as far as pointing out the alt.fan.furry and alt.lifestyle.furry groups as well as recommending the reader to do a search on "furry resources," "furry lifestyle," "furry conventions," and "furry art." At least we can depend on Google Image Search to deflect the more sane of the readers away from the fandom.

Side note of funny: Web google "siegfried and roy" and see who shows up :lol:

She proclaims herself to be a real life shifter and gives lip service to furries. What I don't understand is why no one in the Furry or Otherkin community knows who Rosalyn Greene is. Usually, when I google a furry's name I get a VCL archive of their herm porn or their werecard, but Rosalyn's done quite well covering her tracks.

And, given it's a book that can be bought off any Barnes and Noble shelf, I'm surprised the furries haven't celebrated this mainstream acknowledgment.

If you can't believe werewolves are real, don't read it, July 19, 2004
Reviewer: A reader
This isn't for Anne Rice fans or goths or role-players, this is for people who seriously believe in werewolves and want to know all the details, and it is really, really good. This is everything that a book like this could be, it tells you everything, and it explains how these things work.
I see lots of whining reviews from people who don't believe in werewolves. Well, this is the whole point of this book. If you don't think werewolves are real, then don't read it. Or if you think they are real but that it's just some kind of wishy-washy symbolic thing where you worship wolves on the full moon but never really transform, then of course you won't like this book.
This book is for people who know, who believe. It tells exactly how it is for REAL werewolves (which I have seen, so I do believe). Apparently, the author has made some enemies among those cults of wishy-washy half-werewolves who hang out online and tell you that werewolves aren't real because they are werewolves, yet who use this book anyway and try to pretend this book is ripping off every belief they have that happens to be the same, and at the same time attack this book for every idea it has that differs from theirs. Either you do believe or you don't. There shouldn't be a halfway point that is worse even than the science skeptics.

Amazon.com Review




So, in other words, if you aren't stupid and think critically, don't read this book. I only wish that was the attitude of the Bible thumpers.

I remember seeing that book in some New Age store a couple of years ago. Flipped through, then checked to see if it had a bibliography, index, footnotes, etc. Things I like to see in any decent book. When the furry references were seen I pulled out a Zippo...

It's as bad as Brad Steiger's crap, where that idiot references himself as a source.
