Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

The nearest book to me is a blank journal. Page 45 is like every other page in the book. That would be blank.

Reaching slightly further afield I pick up Rapture in Death by J. D. Robb:

Eve awoke with the cat stretched over her chest and the bedside ‘link beeping.

That sums it up nicely also.

How’s your sex life?

Random quote of the day:


“A great friend of mine at the beginning of our friendship…said to me very defiantly, “I have to tell you that I loathe children’s books.” And I said to him, “Well, won’t you just read this just for my sake?” And he said grumpily, “Oh, very well, send it to me.” I did, and I got a letter back saying: “Why didn’t you tell me? Mary Poppins with her cool green core of sex has me enthralled forever.”

—P. L. Travers, interview, The Review, No. 86 (Winter 1982)

In books, that is.

How much smut do you want in your books?
None.
None. It’s embarrassing.
None. Smut in books is leading to the downfall of civilizastion.
None because…oh, I’ll tell you in the comments.
Really, shouldn’t we be judging this on a case by case basis?
A little’s okay as long as it isn’t too graphic.
A little’s okay as long as it isn’t anatomically correct.
A little’s okay as long as it advances the story.
A little’s okay because…oh, I’ll tell you in the comments.
I mean, smut is not the only determinant of a book’s quality.
Fairly explicit is okay, but not pornography.
Fairly explicit is okay as long as it advances the story.
Fairly explicit is okay as long as it is H-O-T.
Fairly explicit is okay because…oh, I’ll tell you in the comments.
Authors should put whatever smut they feel comfortable with.
Bring it on! The more smut the better! The more descriptive the better!
Bring it on! I don’t care if it advances the story.
Bring it on because…oh, oh, oh, I’ll tell you in the comments.
It may not be to my taste, but I don’t have to read it.
Ticky is blushing right now.
Other (I’ll tell you in the comments).

I’m sure this book is a triumph of stylistic elements, a singular work of staggering genius, combining as it does the art of reading and the art of…what would you call that?  I’ll have to add it to my Goodreads To-Be-Read queue.
