I am told that this is the 'dirtiest' book ever written. We'll see!

Finished 10 Oct. This is a book about a man who can stop time and when he does so, acts out his sexual fantasies with women who are none the wiser. Oh, and for their benefit, naturally. If you like terms like "my erect stain-stick", this is the book for you! I found it abhorrent.

I noticed that some bookcrossers gave this book excellent ratings - everyone's different, I guess!

Caught at the meetup thanks. After all the talk that was going on, I think I'm scared to read it!

This is by no means the only book I've ever read with a high sexual content, but it's by far the worst. I trawled on with it for over a month before giving up and skipping to the final chapter. What I found there was so dull that I was happy to chuck the whole book aside.

I'd recommend it for the curious, but even then, just to flick through rather than to read.

Picked it up at the Edinburgh BC meetup.

Um... This book was quite odd. It was funny and had a big classical theme but it walks on a very fine line between funny book about sex and hardcore porn fiction. Controversial is the word I guess. Definitely worth reading though.
