Beautiful lakes, majestic mountains, and awesome little towns, with equally awesome little used bookstores. One of my favorites is almost wall-to-wall pulps, with two rows devoted to old romance novels from the fifties. It’s classics section is an enormous pile in the corner that you literally have to wade through to find anything. One day I was paging through the fiction section I found this book, tucked in with all the Grishams and the Clancys:  At first I was in denial. No possible way this book could be about what I think it’s about. Most likely Rosemary Santini is a feminist writing to women about harnessing their inner needs so as to tap into the sexual energy of the sixties. Right?  Still harmless. But see, this is where “The Big O” gets you. It lures you in with its unassuming cover. Honestly, even if it’s a romance novel, those are never actually that bad. Lots of erotic build up, and then some artfully depicted throbbing. Bring it on.  Here we go. There are three important things to note here. First: published in 1969. Year we landed on the moon. Sweet. Unfortunately, I’m willing to argue that the collective awesomeness of landing on the moon was completely negated by the collective awfulness of the publication of this book. Second: This thing was actually dedicated to people. I bet Mildred was honored. Finally: What the hell Melanie? You honestly couldn’t at least wait for more than half a page before you started fantasizing about “erected and inflamed” pricks?  Oh man, it just gets awesome from here on out. In writing this is what we like to call really really really bad character exposition. Oooh, and some foreshadowing: “Maybe then it’ll happen to me...” Spoiler alert, she’s talking about the “Big O”. By the way, I hope you like the word “prick”. It’s kind of a reoccurring theme.  So many levels of WTF at this point. “Not a pretty girl” Awesome, picturing her as ugly makes this all so much better. Actually, It’s kind of funny, they continually emphasize the fact that she is ugly. Also, with the startling degree of language she has used so far, the “oh darn” feels jarringly out of place. Also, swans? And there’s the rest. Keep in mind, this is page seven and it has already ramped up to dirty linoleum bathroom sex. Oh the wonders in store.  And that’s chapter one. Melanie, the empowered independent woman that she is, charges out to meet the adventures of the day. Which actually involve office molestation and a wacky (i.e. creepy) threesome. So that’s how it starts. This book has become kind of famous with my group of friends, passed from person to person. It’s an ongoing challenge to see if anyone can make it through all 205 glorious pages. So far, not a soul has managed it. Let me know if you actually want to see more of this. I could skip to some especially terrifying parts, (anyone up for snake sex or the infamous boy scout masturbation scene?), or I could put it up one painful chapter at a time. Or maybe I could just stop. I guess the Internet doesn’t really need more terrifying things. Pedwalk fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Oct 19, 2007 |

What the gently caress is with the girl in this story. Does she have a tumor in her brain or something that has done this to or something? Christ. "I WANT EVERY COCK EVERYWHERE RIGHT NOW".

It reads like a children's book, but with graphic situations and adult content you'd find in some insane romance novel from a parallel dimension. What an extremely lovely author.

Its like this book I saw once, except it was some farmers daughter on a farm who couldnt look at any of the farm animals without getting all hot and bothered and wanting them to gently caress her.

*Gladly passes out rimshot coupons as he asks* Seeing how little there is in one chapter, but how many times an author (if she can even be called that) uses prick and oval office as though there were no other words for them: Just how thick is this book? Also:

This is trainwreck awful, what a find. I'm not certain how to feel knowing that bad fiction we expect to find with a ten-second google search existed before the Internet. Makes me wonder how many dirty, horrible, laughable sex stories are lying around dusty second-hand bookstores. Or how many we've lost to the elements - maybe there's a dirty story rolled up in a jar in Pompeii somewhere yet. Also, I'm adding my vote to the audiobook suggestion.

What bothers me was how she didn't wash her hands before touching herself in the bathroom. I mean, she had been in the subway. Now if that isn't a surefire way to get an infection I don't know what is.

This reminds me of Truly, Madly Viking, a hilariously terrible romance novel that I found in a Zellers for five dollars and bought to torment a friend that was visiting from California. It's unfortunate that I gave it to her; the ridiculous story of it (horny she-whale somehow catapults viking forward in time, viking seduces every woman ever, including the psychiatrist who is trying to cure him of his apparent delusions), combined with the flabbergasting vapidity of every character in it, makes for a wonderful read. To give you an idea of how ridiculous this book is, the viking guy actually makes a woman orgasm by looking at her. I need to find another copy of that thing; it would make for a great thread.

Please post every page of every chapter, why skip the most wtf parts? I can't believe this got published, I wonder if the editors just had a good sense of humor. Also asking for audio version.

Sonic in the Search for Love, a 131-page* Sonic fanfic written by a closeted gay furry with writing that makes this novel look like Shakespeare. Right on page 1 they start recording chapters. It's just as insane(ly funny) as it sounds. *Although I think that some of that is entire chapters repeated multiple times in the file, my memory is a bit hazy.

I got excited for a second thinking about listening to a Goon-book on my Zune, but that......That's something you listen to when you need that extra bit of motivation to finally pull the trigger on that shotgun sandwhich you've been nibbling at.

Some idiot friend of mine snuck this book onto my shelf.... The Warrior's Woman I need to find her, and This is just terrible.  Although not as spectacular as The Big O, it's still so poorly written it makes me vomit a little. Also - if you're doing an audio book, I'll do a chapter!

I am amazed that this reads EXACTLY like any Japanese porno manga right down to the train fantasies, the ridiculously overexcited yet embarrassed female and the inevitable mention of urination. Truly this book was ahead of its time. Also the narration style makes it feel like a loving documentary. If an audiobook is done it must absolutely be read in David Attenborough's voice.
