Review: Hilarious, hot, and at times, deep

Forget the yawn inducing poetry you were forced to dissect in high school English. Johnson has created a true masterpiece in The Book of Real and Imaginary Girlfriends, waxing poetic about whatever comes to mind, and in his mind that appears to concentrate on sex, locations for sex, potential partners in sex, and occasionally cosmic washing machines.Honestly after reading this I didn't know whether to laugh or replace my batteries. Some odes to sexual misdeeds are side-crampingly hilarious, while others are deliciously hot. The depth of Johnson's writing will surprise you (well it surprised me anyway), particularly with Bloodless, which I never expected to find in this collection of titillating prose.  Occasionally the depth is offset by random musings like Don't Feed The Rats, but the whole thing is very stream of consciousness so it's to be expected.Overall a great collection of decidedly male fantasy musings that will either make you laugh or start reading with one hand.
