Playboy, the magazine everyone reads for the articles, has compiled a list of the twenty five sexiest novels. Like other popular lists, (for example the ever popular Best Sex Scenes in Films list) this one is a bit hit and miss, but any list that includes Philip Roth, Judy Blume, and Harold Robbins, is at least worth looking at. Here is a full list of the selected sexy novels. If you're looking to add to your hot reading collection check out this easy price comparison shopping list of the sexist novel winners.
