 Hello everybody today, I'm going to do a book tag that I saw chapter stacks do on YouTube It's called the NSFW book tag. It consists of 10 questions and I'll just start right away question number one is What is the last book you would want your parents to walk in on you? reading well For me parents are not an issue anymore. They haven't been for many years So I'll I'll interpret it as a question for me when I was when I was a teenager when I was living at home and I I have to think about that for a minute because I never I never had to worry about my parents barging into my room So I could do whatever I wanted in there. I could read whatever I wanted I could draw whatever I wanted and I didn't have to worry about them poking around in my room when I wasn't there And I didn't have to worry about my sisters either We were all very private and all very quiet and left each other alone That's not to say that my parents would not have been shocked if they had seen what I was readings They had no idea what I was reading. I tell you what if I had been sitting in the living room reading a playboy That would have shocked them whatever novel I might have been reading unless it had some pornographic picture on the cover They wouldn't have noticed. I was oh, you're reading read whatever Speaking of which I did read these books when I was in high school The spaceways science fiction adult adventure novels, you'll notice they were I can get a get it to focus here playboy paperbacks Yeah, these were basically sex adventures in space they were They were pretty good science fiction stories and they since they were supposed to be adult sex adventure books There were there were four of them in the initial series But considering what they were supposed to be They had surprisingly few sex scenes in them, but what they did have I liked but yeah if my parents had known what these were Yeah Question number two It's storming outside and you're home alone for the night. What book would only make matters worse I'm assuming that means what book would frighten me and I'm interpreting that to mean Frightened like in scary movie frightened. I tell you there was one book that frightened me As an adult I was almost 30 when I read this it was Communion by Whitley Streber Before I go any further. I want to make it very clear that that book is fiction Whitley Streber has always claimed that Everything in those books is true that it's autobiographical. That's horseshit Anyone who reads those books can see that he's making the stuff up But but I I have to tell you the first third or so of that first book was so well-written and so terrifying that I couldn't sleep for weeks and I was a grown-up. I had to have all the lights on in the house I'm allergic to cats, but I let my sister's cat into my house and Kept it with me at all times It was terrifying and it's not because I believed any of this nonsense about alien abduction, of course not it was the idea of Somebody being in your room standing next to your bed while you're asleep That first book was so vividly written That it was just terrifying. Let me also say that if you're talking about being frightened in a larger More existential way if you're talking about being kept awake at night by your Horror over the state of the world and the state of humanity Read any book by Noam Chomsky You will lose any faith in humanity That you've ever had in your entire life, and you'll never get it back Question number three. Have you ever read a book simply because of the controversy surrounding it? Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind is Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty books in the late 90s there was that interview with a vampire movie and all of her vampire novels were so popular and Everyone was talking about Anne Rice all the time I had no interest in vampire books But I saw that she had written an erotic trilogy about the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale, which is my favorite Disney Movie, so I got those and I read them The first book was Mostly readable books two and three were a mess. They were an unreadable mess But book one had such a tremendous cliffhanger that I had to read book two people have told me that that's how Anne Rice works That she gets you hooked on the next book with the cliffhanger. I Also noticed that the books were very repetitive It's the same thing over and over and over and over again. That's just the same thing every chapter was basically identical It was like the same paragraph the same sentences just just written over and over and over again I've had people tell me that yeah, that's Anne Rice So anyway, that's that's the first thing I could think of question number four What is the most cringe inducing romance or sex scene you have ever read? Other than the Sleeping Beauty things I've been I've read a number of passages recently from 50 shades of gray because people are posting them online all the time and laughing at them and those those are far worse than Anything I've I've ever read that's come from a novel. Let's come from an actual published book Even though I've never read 50 shades of gray have read enough of it Let me put it that way Question number five what book has made you question the author's sanity okay, I Haven't answered for that hang on infinite prospectus by Ernest L. Norman This was part of a large collection of books. They were like 20 in the series just a huge number in this ridiculous series and I bought this one. Here's the guy. Here's Ernest L. Norman. I bought this a half price bookstore in Houston in the village They had a whole set of them out on the sidewalk for 25 cents a piece and I bought this one just an example of of what an astonishing nutcase This guy was this is not fiction by the way he He's claiming in writing these books that he was dictating without pause To his wife who was writing all this down and that he was channeling some Either some God or some space creature that was going to bring about the The greatest change in humanity that's it's nonsense and and he was serious about this man. Here's I read you This thing on the back that says about the author Let me just read you the first couple of sentences here Any attempt at a thumbnail biography which would accurately and fully portray the life of the author would be a gross disservice Sufficient to say the future history of the world will unquestionably prove the author to be without exception The greatest outlet of interdimensional cosmic knowledge the world has ever known For he has indeed proven beyond any question of doubt that he works with and from a higher world and There were volumes and volumes in this series All this and much more too is part of the future history Which will reveal the true nature of this man and the vastness of his mission Which is indeed the actual beginning of the millennium the second coming exclamation point yeah, this guy was nuts and Hatefully self-absorbed obviously Before I move on to the next question, I also have to say that Peter Pan the original Peter Pan book you should read that because J.M. Barry who wrote that you can tell he was messed up when you read that book you can tell Okay question six have you ever put down a book and not finished it because the content was too much for you Yeah, the first instance that comes to mind is when I was in junior high a friend of mine recommended breakfast of champions by Kurt Vonnegut and I started reading keep in mind. I was 12 or 13 at the time maybe 14 I picked that book up and started reading it and it was really dirty It was really really dirty in in a childish way. I mean he had little scribbles little drawings of Vaginas and he used the word beaver to describe them It was yeah, not the kind of thing that I was interested in reading When I was that age if I were to reread it now I would probably see it as satire and that the childish vulgarity would of course be would of course be part of the satire But I've never had an interest in going back to it Yeah, but at the time I didn't like that Question seven what fictional character do you have the most NSFW thoughts about that's the kind of question that? I really don't have an answer for because I consider it. I don't really understand the question Fictitious characters are not people so the person who creates a fictitious character in a novel or a movie or something that That might be more a more complete more nearly well-rounded person But to the to someone who's just reading about them. They're not complete people. I I've never I've never looked at fictitious characters that way. I'm being honest here. I don't know how to answer that question It's a question that I really don't understand. Okay question number eight show us your most NSFW book cover or Drawing our photo inside a book. Oh goodness With all these graphic novels here. There are things I could show you. I'll just stick to covers I saw on on chapter stacks Video she had a book that to the cover showed some cleavage and a woman with a blindfold on it I was like really that's all that's all you've got. I mean just these that I've already showed you here have have stuff that's a Bit racier than that and this is this is like nothing. Yeah, I'll pull out a couple of graphic novels here that come to mind Yeah, these are right here on my shelf Right next to me here. This is the bodice by Richard Corbin. Am I pointing that at the camera? Yeah Basically anything by Richard Corbin is going to be Minimum r-rated probably x-rated. Here's the back cover The uh, and then right next to it. Here's um, are you ready for this? Birdland by Gilbert Hernandez Yeah, I'll move on Question number nine. Have you ever read something from the erotica romance genre and what did you think? Well, there was the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice, which I already told you about They were not very good the um The the premise starting out was kind of interesting and kind of sexy and I kind of liked the premise But beyond that it was just mindless bondage and sex slavery lots and lots of spankings And lots and lots of sodomy But only with the male slaves only the male slaves were sodomized the female slaves were never sodomized And I always thought that was kind of a giveaway that it was written by a woman I don't know if that's an acceptable interpretation, but that's what I thought at the time And uh number 10 finally you stumble across a port key What fictional world would you not want to be transported into? Okay number one? I don't know what a port key is but Considering the nature of the question. I'm assuming it's an object that will teleport you somewhere to another world or to another dimension and Considering that this question was written by A book reading youtuber. I assume It has something to do with harry potter Let's look that up Yeah, uh, it's harry potter Ha So Too easy too easy to guess Well, I I have the same problem with this question that I did with Having nsfw thoughts about a fictitious character. It's a question that I don't understand I and I consider it a actually a meaningless question. All right. That's it That's the 10 questions for nsfw book tag. Thank you book stacks for creating it And uh, I was glad to have uh participated See you next review soon
