It make sense. And I don't think most male authors do it intentionally, but it seems to me that sometimes, in focusing on the physicality of the act, they can almost read like bodice rippers with really awful context.

A Good Man Is Hard to Find is not gory but it's one of the most disturbing short stories I've ever read. it just… goes there. And this from a good Catholic girl!

Hope you like your cats nailed to walls.

Is there anyone more underrated than Spark? Maybe not.

Gone Girl is one of my favorite mysteries but I'm so happy to see Rebecca (one of the best books EVAR) mentioned that I'm upvoting you anyway.

I think some men kind of avoid books written by women and don't think of it as sexist (though it is!). I had that problem myself and even wrote about it on my blog (still the most popular thing I've ever written online) after I read some Austen and Plath and had my eyes opened.

We don't hear Chuck's side of the conversation so I'm now assuming that IS what he said.

Queen is one of my favorite bands but I have trouble putting them up with the Beatles and the Stones (I guess—I'm not a big fan), because they only have two great straight-through albums (A Night at the Opera and Sheer Heart Attack), a couple more from that era that are mostly solid (News of the World, Jazz) and a…

I like this but it seems nuts to say it's better than the original. That's overexposure talking, surely.

Is that true? I've always wondered.
