What turns one person on may not be what turns another person on. The excerpts in this book were more of what seemed sexy to the author. They were not quite my cup of tea. The at-times long ramblings of the author before each piece were a bit yawn inducing or unnecessary. I feel like some pieces were only thrown in there for shock value, such as the piece from "Gravity's Rainbow".

The best parts of all these Nerve columns are his introductory commentaries.

Great fun to read. Didn't like some of the "modernizations" though, but that's just me. Mar 25, Bradley rated it liked it Shelves: This is a compendium of the dirty parts featured in the great works of literature. Oct 22, Kristina rated it liked it Shelves: Rather interesting mixture of stories. Who knew writers could be so saucy back in the day? Maybe the best way to approach House of Holes , Nicholson Baker's new smorgasbord of ribaldry, is to sample its delectable language. So here's a glossary of Baker-isms for the various human body parts, fluids, and functions that play starring roles in a novel that is aptly subtitled "A Book of Raunch": Buttocks are "wonderloaves," testicles are "hot young stones" or "jacksons," a clitoris is a "lemondrop" or "Monsieur Twinklestump.

Beowulf on the Beach:

Ham, ham, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo,oo, ham, ham, HAW! For better and for worse this novel will inevitably be linked to Baker's two previous sex romps, Vox , which consists of a long phone-sex conversation, and The Fermata , the story of an office temp and libertine named Arno Strine who has the power to create something called "the Fold," when time and motion freeze and he's free to do anything he wants to do — which usually amounts to undressing his female co-workers and masturbating to their immobile bodies. These earlier novels divided readers into two warring camps, and House of Holes is not likely to bring about detente.

Reward Yourself

It seems to me to depend entirely on what the author wants the reader to feel, and how successfully that feeling is aroused. Exactly what it says on the box, the dirty bits from great books, handy if you like your erotica on the well side of written Fresh from the virtual pages of Nerve. The excerpts in this book were more of what seemed sexy to the author. The fantasy is simple: Khryss rated it really liked it Jun 05,

People tended to love these novels or loathe them. Monica Lewinsky loved Vox so much she gave her personal copy to Bill Clinton.

The books strike me as a couple of one-trick ponies, attempts to tease a pair of thin premises into full-blown novels that are only partially successful. House of Holes is a pony with a much bigger bag of tricks, but it's still a pony, a carefully constructed contrivance, a vehicle for exploring a fantasy that could exist only in a country that's both obsessed with sex and deeply conflicted about it.

The fantasy is simple: People enter the House of Holes through any number of round apertures: Once there, they can get an "ass-grabber's license" or swap genitals with someone of either gender, there's a "clothes-dissolving wind," a man can temporarily sacrifice an arm in order to get a bigger penis.

In short, it's every pubescent boy's wet dream. But is it good fiction? The only way to arrive at an answer is to try to divine Baker's motives for writing so obsessively and fluorescently about sex. Right off he should be absolved of the charge that he's exploiting that tired credo of the retail crowd: The Best American Erotic Poems. Beowulf on the Beach. The Art of X-Ray Reading.
