There's a book with subplot about TO Massage Parlour

[Grrr!]

Heads up:

Innocently enough, I started reading a novel called Sparrow Nights by local author and TV personality David Gilmour. What a thrill it was when the lead character developed a penchant for a local massage parlour several pages into the book. Gilmour uses a nom de guerre for the spa, but anyone who ever went to the now defunct (I believe) place in the office building at Spadina and Bathurst will recognize it. I am only halfway through it, but I can tell you that the book contains vivid descriptions of everyone's fav hobby. It might be worth a read. At the very least, give it a skim next time you are at a Chapters or Indigo. Gilmour,btw, has a habit of exploring stuff near and dear to the hearts of those who haunt this board. If memory serves, one of his earlier novels contained a passage in which the protagonist visits a TO strip club and has to jack off in the mensroom.

Spadina & Bathurst are parallel, do you mean Spadina & Bloor?

Sorry. I did mean Spadina and Bloor

Sounds like Gilmour is probably a closet hobbiest...in fact he might very well be a massageplanet.net member!

I thought you guys were talking about Doug Gilmour at first. LOL.

Thanks, I think I'll pick this book up.

Any of Mr. Gilmour's books are great reads. Figures that the one with an MP in it is the ONLY one I haven't read. I'll be sure to pick it up soon.

I met him at a Christmas party once. I think he enjoys the notoriety tremendously. I for one would love to be able to make a buck off of publishing my obsessions with sex.
