    It took book porn how long to come up w/ something video porn has been doing since... As long as I can remember?

    Are they going to do clever things with the titles, too?

    A Milf Summer Nights Wet Dream (hmmm. That one already has a character named Titania, and another called Bottom)

    Horatio Alger, the Whore's Hole Stretcher.

    Moby Dick.

    Of course, there are a lot of titles that get more interesting if you don't actually change the title:

    Where the Wild Things Are
    Black on White
    The Adventures of Captain Underpants
    No No Yes Yes
    Puss in Boots
    What do You do with a Tail Like This?
    Holes
    The Bad Beginning
    and
    The Secret Garden, especially if you are into Oriental porn....

    And that's just children's literature for the truly sick at heart...

    Who ever would've guessed the Books forum would get close to NSFW territory?

    A few weeks ago, the BBC Morning Commute podcast covered this story and read some excerpts from the porno version of A Study in Scarlet. Watson, of course, was gay. They bleeped out quite a few phrases. Never thought I would hear someone read the words"pumped my co*#" over the BBC.

    They're competing with the Post now ;)

    So am I to understand this is basically Saving Ryan's Privates, but with literature?
