Forget Well-Hung, are you Well-Read?

Well, it seems today that every blogger and their cat has been talking about what Penguin UK is doing to try and get men to buy more fiction. "Good Looking Women Want Good Booking Men" is the glaring headline on the site, along with a very hot chicky-poo in a Bond-girl-style bikini, who, forgive me for being so presumptuous, probably hasn't read a damned book in her life.

Apparently "a new independent survey carried out by NOP proves that women prefer men who read books." Or at least men who appear to be reading books: "You may not even need to read it, just bend the covers, let it stick out of your pocket and the book will do the talking!" Uh.... yeah. Personally, I like a man who can discuss a book, not just stick it in the front of his pants and get all macho. Word to all those hopeful horny guys out there.... you can't read a book by osmosis, even if it's in your back pocket next to your sweet fine tush.

Oh, and please note the cartoon above, which I drew a quite few months ago. Seems I'm one step ahead of the people at Penguin. And let's not forget this recent post. I think Penguin should be asking me for tips on how to increase their sales.
