Jack Murnighan (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 25, 2003

Jack Murnighan, former editor in chief of the erotica website Nerve.com, is back with a new collection of the steamiest sex scenes from the greatest books of all time. Here is the literary sex-education readers have always lusted for, with over 80 excerpts by authors ranging from Homer to James Baldwin, Kierkegaard to Judy Blume, Scheherazade to Franzen. Who knew there was so much bumping and grinding in Goethe? How about Dali’s fascination with masturbation? Ever curious about what made James Joyce purr? Murnighan supplements each bite-sized excerpt with a lively, insightful introduction that will help readers see the world’s great books as they’ve never seen them before.

This review is from: Classic Nasty: More Naughty Bits: A Rollicking Guide to Hot Sex in Great Books, from the Iliad to the Corrections (Paperback)

Classic Nasty is great in little bites, perfect for the short attention span reader. More or less than a compendium and excerpts of the classics, Jack Murnighan gives context, salacious and otherwise, for each book, plus a personal editorial on whatever aspect of life he's ruminating on. This last is the best part of the book, as his perspective is warm, open, sexy, and fun to read.

This review is from: Classic Nasty: More Naughty Bits: A Rollicking Guide to Hot Sex in Great Books, from the Iliad to the Corrections (Paperback)

This book is filled with the most delicatable, sexy bits from several great books. It is fun and exciting to read. Perfect for those who want to skip right to the Naughty scenes. I would also recommend The Naughty Bits it is every bit as good if not better.
