The Food Chain

Geoff Nicholson is a highly prolific writer, yet this is my first exposure to his work. As such, it was something of a revelation, although I don't believe that's quite the proper term. A quick glance over Nicholson's body of work reveals something of a preoccupation with sex, an impression well-backed-up by this book.

The Food Chain is primarily a book about a well-aged old boys' hangout known as "The Everlasting Club". Britain's past is full of such clubs, and in fact perhaps the best known and most infamous, the Hellfire Club, is mentioned in this book as a contemporary of this fictional organization, each with their own array of dark secrets.

"Why did you spend so much time parked in that fellow's car last night?" demanded the irate mother. "I could hear the giggling and squealing for a good half hour." "But, Mom," answered her daughter, "if a fellow takes you to the movies you ought to at least kiss him good night." "I thought you went to the Stork Club?" countered the mother. "We did."

Oh, no, you won't

"First, I'm going to buy you a few drinks and get you a little tight," said the guy aggressively.

"Oh, no, you're not," said the girl.

"Then I'll take you to dinner at the most exclusive restaurant in town."

"Oh, no, you won't."

"Then I'll take you to my apartment and mix up a pitcher of daiquiris."

"Oh, no, you won't."

When you see someone across the room and suddenly know for a fact that he's the most wonderful man on earth, you've got instant lust on your hands.
