Shame on Zane

Our second book was "Shame On It All" by Zane. Now Zane is wildly popular and her books are known for being steamy, so I was very disappointed to discover "SOIA" was extremely NOT hot. Yes, Zane made frequent use of the words "pussy" and "dick," but that isn't enough to make something erotic. In fact, much of SOIA was downright gross (why is Zane obsessed with defecation? Sure, it's a natural human process, but that doesn't mean anyone wants to read about it) and would actually kill, rather than create, a sexy mood. SOIA was also really weird, not in a good way, but in a "Why are there so many horny midgets running around?" way. And I hate to sound over-sensitive, but I was actually a little offended on the behalf of midgets, poor rural people, fat people, and others Zane gratutiously mocked. Being mean and witty is one thing, but just being mean is lame. One the plus side, SOIA was memorable and entertaining, with some wildly funny lines.
Our lovely hostess, Sue, treated us to yummy and sumptuous fondue in honor of Valentine's Day.
