Bad sex in fiction
The Literary Review’s annual Bad Sex in Fiction award, now in its 14th year, is always worth a read. The Guardian goes to town on it with extracts of the shortlisted books. Fans of this kind of literature can buy the winning book here - but remember we’ll know who you are.
Plus Indigo Chapters is throwing self-published authors a lifeline in Canada.
And a very big book about Manchester United costing £3,000…. I know an awful lot of people back home in the UK who wouldn’t pay a single penny for a book about Man U.

Americans finally realize the try-before-you-buy works just as well with sex as it does with commodities. Rather than marrying and then shacking up with hot sex coming after the nuptuals, Americans are increasingly putting out before putting on the wedding rings.Women are just as likely as men to get it on before matrimony.
I think this is just the sign of the times. I mean, we like to test things, try them out, before making a purchase. Why should sex and marriage be any different? The stigma associated with pre-marital sex is dead. Long live free love!
