Subway Book Club

I always get a kick out of the books people read on the subway. From now on, I will do my best to share with you what people are reading while riding the subway here in good olde Boston. Here is your first T Rider Recommendation™:


Thong on Fire: An Urban Erotic Tale, by Noire

Here is what Publisher's Weekly had to say about this opus:

Last seen during a short walk-on (or rather, incall) in Thug-a-Licious, Saucy Robinson returns with a vengeance in Noire's latest Harlem street tale, with Noire's most sophisticated plot to date. Born in Harlem to a black ex-G.I. father and a junkie Korean prostitute mother, Saucy (named Seung Cee by her mother and Sarita by her father) ends up in her uncle Swag's care by age eight, after her mother pimps her out to various men and her lesbian lover. Saucy's upstairs neighbor is a black girl named Tai, and the two are on-again, off-again frenemies for the rest of the book. Saucy, a total hottie, ends up attached to various drug dealers and working at a strip joint, the G-Spot. She breaks into doing rap videos, and ordinary-looking Tai, who is working for super-rapper Freedom Moore, hooks them up. Free wants Saucy to act straight, and if she can, her happiness might be assured. Beyond the sex, what drives the book is Saucy's vivid, trash-talking unreliability—except perhaps in describing her own pleasure. (Mar.)

You can buy this book at Amazon, and if you bundle it with Thug-A-Licious, you can own them both for just $22.63. They would practically pay for themselves, people.
