Bandits sounds interesting, I'll check it out ^_^

lol!

I'd like to recommend a couple of books, Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami and Adultery by Paulo Coelho. Both books deal with relationships, depression and spirituality, one from a more emotional male perspective, the other from a more rational female perspective. I guess I should make this...

I dunno, maybe I'm over idealizing. It just seems to me that the principles of honesty and compassion needed to make polyamorous relationships work are very similar to principles that the church teaches.
