From the PublisherPLEASURE is the perfect Flight Book(TM) -- incredible power throughout, lasts a few hours, and takes you everywhere in the world of human experience!From the AuthorPeople have a general uneasiness when they consider the power of irony in their daily lives since it is ever-present, dependable, like the sun and death. Because it often implies the unexpected or something going awry, focusing on irony is not too desirable except as art. There seems to be a sinister ring in the word, like irony is something one gets in spite of avoiding it, or a thing someone sees to it that someone else gets, like punishment. Irony signals just as many fortuitous turns, though, like good luck or karma. However, a guilty conscience haunts almost everyone so most people perceive irony as working against them and think about it as little as possible, thus it comes as a surprise. Irony is nothing more than a manifestation of the infinite and universal balance embedded in our existence. Acts of generosity, love, honesty, faith, all seem to bounce back to us somehow and often unexpectedly, like the not-so-good. The energy of everything that has ever been done or thought is captured in the universe. And, by extension, nothing seems to fall through the twisting cracks of ironic fortune. The concept and creation of PLEASURE ON THE RUN had this potent sense of mystical rightness, with each of the parts revealing more and more of the invisible natural balance inherent in the unexpected, thus the subtitle, "Six Dreams of Dr. Ironicus".From the Inside FlapRene Blanco reveals the deepest personal feeling and conflict with a crisp new writing style, significant plots and powerful language. This is the mark of one versatile and adventurous writer. Blanco has the courage to sink into the psyche of the characters, to explore their angels and their demons and help them find resolutions. He also exhibits a rare sensitivity, especially to the hidden corners of the human spirit under duress, making PLEASURE the newest in a series of enlightening morsels for the mind by this bright author. what is the best fiction books of 2018 Pleasure on the Run: Six Dreams of Dr. Ironicus featuring Love Garments Universal Slaves

I was compelled to finish each story to see how the protaganist solved a dilemma. Each character has a flaw and the author succinctly exposes the weakness and then allows the reader to discover how this person will rise above or be consumed by the flaw. I especially loved the simplicity of the short story, "The Latest Deadlines." The heroine, Mary, frustrated by her limitations learns she does have an attribute that can allow her to succeed. It is a story that starts with anger and ends with warmth and charm. This is the kind of book that is great to read on the beach, on a plane or just for plain fun.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. What A Pleasure!!!By JaneI was lucky enough to receive this wonderful volume of stories as a gift. Each story offers humor, compassion, and sensitivity while commenting with great insight on the inherent paradoxes that characterize this realm of transient constant change. Mr. Blanco has a voice that I look forward to hearing from in the future. I recomend this book as a gift not only for travelers desiring entertainment on a flight, but for anyone who wants to be inspired any time, anywhere. This should be on every magazines summer beach read list!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. It's probably one of the best books I read so farBy Veronica TejedaVery easy reading. Thoughts flow and amazing descriptions. I couldn't put the book down because you just wanted to know what will happen in the story.The characters are people I can relate too, with all of their odd emotions and fears. But the twists in the plots are really unexpected like in "Bloody Thighs" ...which is one of my favorite stories. Personal Slave is funny , but defintely makes a statement. I definitely recommend this book. It was so good now my pals want to borrow the book.
