Playboy names 25 sexiest novels ever

by Rod Lott on June 7, 2006 · 2 comments

lolita reviewWho better to compile a list of history’s 25 sexiest novels than Playboy? Hugh Hefner’s slick, respectable skin mag has done the deed, with John Cleland’s 1748 novel FANNY HILL topping the list.

Other books making the grade include Anne Rice’s INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE, Vladimir Nabokov’s LOLITA and J.G. Ballard’s CRASH, with other slots filled by everyone from Philip Roth to Judy Blume.

Take a peek at the list and you’ll be treated to a brief history of each title, plus an X-rated excerpt from each, lest you require rock-hard proof that it merits inclusion.

For shame no Lady from L.U.S.T or Baroness series. Actually I read three of the titles two of them for H.S (3,5,11)
