i would totally read that book!

Since 1982 the English Department at San Jose State University has sponsered the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, a whimisical literary competition that challengers entrants to compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels.

2010's grand prize winner was molly ringle from seattle, washington and here is her entry:

For the first month of Ricardo and Felicity's affair, they greeted one another at every stolen rendezvous with a kiss--a length, ravenous kiss, Ricardo lapping and sucking at Felicity's mouth as if she were a giant cage-mounted water bottle and he were the world's thirstiest gerbil.
