{     The 25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written     }    

Playboy just published a nice list of The 25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written, on which I was very glad to see Haruki Murakami's "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" next to Henry Miller's venomous "Tropic of Cancer" and Georges Bataille's super-mega-bizarre"Story of the Eye" (from 1928!). I'm excited to read "Singular Pleasures" in which the plot is described as "Sixty-six one-paragraph vignettes about people masturbating." Yeah.
