Bad Sex Award

[dan-lian.livejournal.com]

I would like to propose we nominate Ms Hamilton for the Bad Sex in Writing award by the Literary Review magazine.

Take a look at this years' winner.

I don't think there is really a way to nominate, but I'd love to find a way.

My goodness. That is horrible stuff! I mean..just WOW. Maybe we've been too hard on LKH, at least she's never used 'pulpy furred wetness'. She's come close to using that but this isn't horseshoes or handgrenades.

Dude. I am going to be quoting "O glorious pubes!" for a long time. Well... they say your first sentence should hook your audience.

I'm loving "the quick of the wound." What an image.
