The title of that article scared me but it was intriguing enough to make me click through. It sounds like a terrible, terrible idea.
It's being billed as the "the ringtone of choice among hip literary types this summer," which I don't buy for a second.

The only good part is that the publisher is quoted as always being on alert for booty-shaking literary artifacts.
Which, of course, is a great segue way to my semi-regular series of photoshopping books I've recently read over the dirty parts of men I'd like to sleep with.
