Satire: Q & A With the Bookologist - Page 2

I am a 35-year-old housewife and the two favorite books which I love to re-read are Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterley's Lover, while my 41-year-old husband can not sleep in the night before reading bits and pieces of Lolita? Is it OK?

You seem to be a dysfunctional couple. Do you have a good-looking bachelor as a neighbor? Are you attracted towards him? More worryingly, do you have a housemaid? Is she under-age? Can she be a nymphet? If yes, sack her.

I am a 19-year-old male. I had sex with my female cousin a month ago. Recently she parceled me Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex : Fully Revised & Completely Updated for the 21st Century, but it was without the plastic wrapping. Is there a chance of me getting AIDS?

Have you already opened the book? Keep it aside. First get a test done. Use the book only while wearing a thick condom.

I am a 28-year-old man and my girlfriend is 26. Last week I tried to introduce her to James Joyce's Ulysses but could not penetrate even the first few pages together. When I tried to probe beyond, my girlfriend winced and experienced severe pain. After I withdrew, she eased back and offered me Danielle Steele for mutual pleasure. Is there any way I can get her used to Joyce?

What you are insisting on her can easily be termed abuse. Just how can you expect your partner to share your hardcore taste in reading? It is clear she is still not used to the rigor and demands of high-value pleasure and so rather than being hasty, you should first baby-step her to easier authors like Dickens, Bronte and then to Rushdie and Marquez, and only afterwards graduate to Joyce. But for now stick to cute-nothings. Don't lose heart. Danielle Steele is still better than Mills & Boon!
