Bad Sex

[User169]

Some corkers as usual from the shorlist for the most prestigious literary award..

Can't quite see the point though of Wilbur Smith being on the list, given that he's just a bad writer and the sort of thing you grow out of at the age of 12. I don't suppose he takes his writing especially seriously either.

It's much more fun when they give it someone who likes to think they're a bit good.

I'd prolly give it to Haruki Murukami for "airless vacuum", FFS!

I must be 12, because while I read the works of Plato, Darwin or even Hitler, I also enjoy big men battling villains with big guns and F15 jets and then nipping home for a spot of how's-your-father with some piece of to totty who needed rescuing. It's harmless escapism, nothing wrong with it as part of a balanced literary diet.

There's some brilliant stuff there if you put your "airless vacuum" together
with Helen Walsh's "Then he steps into her" you get the next episode of Dr Who.

Blimey, that's an eye-opener.! I think I've been doing it wrong all these years.

Well I think most of us had realized that you shouldn't put your cock in the sun.

So we have herd.

When I was a youngish teenager I would have found that sort of purple prose stimulating enough to be errr, stimulated, if you catch my drift.
Now it just seems a bit sordid and more so, the harder the writer tries to be 'literary'.

I'm thinking of writing an erotic novel. Gonna call it: "Fifty shades if magnolia."

It'll never replace the regular page 3 pic.

Brilliant, that has made my day. Thank you

Congratulations to the winner....Ben Okri.

Okri’s editor, Maggie McKernan, said: “Winning the award is fun but a bit undignified, just like sex, assuming you do it properly.”

Of course, other wise it ends up like this:
