This is a dirty, dirty book.
Buy it at once!
We won’t print an extract lest some prudes wander onto this site and have nervous breakdowns. But we recommend it energetically. Nicholson Baker (Vox, The Fermata) has managed the nearly impossible: sex scenes that are both graphic and wholesome. Yes, wholesome.
House of Holes is available at National Bookstores, hardcover, P995 (with a 20 percent discount during the Cut Price Book Sale so go now).

Huwaw meron na yan dito? Read an interview with the author and a review of the book in the Guardian.
Another dirty book I want to read is The Necrophiliac by Gabrielle Wittkop (I had to Google her name, hehehe.), again, courtesy of The Guardian.

But does it come with a stuffed Leopard?
How do you write sex that is graphic and wholesome? Unless there’s a sneaky definition of wholesome I should probably know about. I suppose I’ll have to get it to find out.
Hooray books! I’m happy that Girl Genius won the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story third time running. Pretty good for a Webcomic. Of course, it did start out in print, and it is done by the Foglios.

If I ever get into the bathhouse business I’m totally naming my establishment House of Holes.
