What's the sensationalism with that book anyway? I mean it's not the first erotic book, what's so special about it?
I think it's just really explicit. I watched a clip of George Takei reading from it, it was strange. Well, beyond his voice and the added "oh myy!" stuff added in, the language of the book just wasn't even sexy. It was more sadist than pleasurable, and some of the language sounded like a textbook. "He took XYZ and put it directly in my *scientific name here* and I groaned." Really, not even imaginative language. I don't even know why people are drawn to that book. Maybe I'd have to actually read the thing to get it. :x So I will just never get it!
