Re: Dorian Gray--re-read it if you didn't see a homoerotic overtone in it the last time. My 12 grade students, many of whom don't speak English very well, took note of it when I taught the book last month. It's subtext, but it's there.

Re: Amazon--if the company at large has an issue with selling "adult" titles (and I'm not saying that this is some vast Amazon conspiracy, but I don't completely buy the glitch explanation either) they shouldn't sell them at all. Making titles unsearchable unless you know exactly how to search for them because you object to their content is the cowardly and passive-aggressive way to get around making them available to customers.
