As a writer and editor, there are many recent and current cultural forces I appreciate for making people read more, for the benefit of all. We all give it up for libraries (virtual and actual) and their necessary fantasy counterparts sexy librarians. Oprah’s book club got housewives reading apocalyptic Cormac McCarthy novels — I never thought that would happen. And the Kindle, for all its BS, really does have more people reading, and reading more (trust me, I just saw last quarter’s sales numbers and I was impressed). Us writers are a scrappy bunch, and getting people to read is like our drug.
So as an appreciator of all things sexy, I am so exited to find (via @whassinger) the hot blog, events, photos and videos at Naked Girls Reading. They say, “However you need to explain it to yourself is fine. And while you do, we’ll be over here… reading.” The photos are *damn hot* and I also love the support contingent, Naked Girls Book Club. Yes, they’re paysites, but what a fun excursion they are. YAY!
i just KNEW that our culture would eventually progress beyond “girls with guns” to something bigger and better. about time.
How is it possible that this isn’t a San Francisco fixture? Come on, we can’t let NYC one-up us like this :)
thanks for the shout. i’d like to correct something though. http://www.nakedgirlsreading.com is NOT a paysite, it’s a support site for our very popular live events that happen all over the country, so check it out. if you want more naked girls and they’re reading, you CAN join (for a miniscule fee) the http://www.nakedgirlsbookclub.com site.
thanks violet, always love you.
they’ve rekindled my love for the written word
This site combines two things that are relevant to my interests.
It is also a textbook example of Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
Glad to be of service.
