They should make me Education Secretary. I'd make Fanny Hill required reading in freshman English classes across the country, thus instantly solving our country's illiteracy problem and instilling an abiding love of literature in our nation's young citizens.
I miss my copy of this book! I'd never heard of it before when I found it in a box on the sidewalk in Park Slope a few years ago, and had no idea what a lovely filthy treasure I had just unearthed.... I hope Lindsey enjoyed my edition of this venerable classic, and I REALLY hope her mom never found it under her mattress.

is it really that dirty? it's so old. i'm amazed you'd never heard of it. again, though - sex books (you like 'em).
I LOVED this, too - in large part because yes, it is that dirty. I'm so glad another Goodreads friend feels this way, too.
I thrillTo any book like Fanny Hill
And I suppose I always will
If it is swill
And really fil-
