I'm sure we all know about these by now, the technically safe-for-work photoshopping of books over the naughty bits of naked guys. So I thought I'd hand it over to you. Do any of you have any reading recommendations? Follow these few simple guidelines and you too can add to the reading list.
Have it be a naked pic. The hottest part is just around the goodies, so if he's wearing underwear and there's a book nearby, why bother? Also, show his face. It's always nicer when they're cute and not a poorly cropped torso. Make sure to cover all of the bits, and not leave anything poking out. And don't forget that all of my readers are horny bastards and will recognize the latest 'model' from Sean Cody, so have it be a random pic of a guy not in a porno. It could even be yourself, if you're so inclined. No one will tell.
Here. Let me give you a few examples.
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
The Master by Colm Toibin
Handling Sin by Michael Malone
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
The Good Terrorist by Doris Lessing

Here lies a most ridiculous raw youth, indulging himself in the literary graces that he once vowed to eschew. Now he just rocks out.
