Can Bonnet Porn Save Publishing?
Jesus Christ, do you have any idea how much money there is to be made in the Amish porn business? Lots. And by "Amish porn" we mean "Devilish books in which a lady feels a certain tingle beneath her bonnet."
I had no idea the Amish were so nasty. But according to the WSJ, books featuring shy Amish ladies befriending handsome non-Amish men—encounters which can sometimes lead to kissing before betrothal—are flying off the the motherfucking racks of the country stores.
Beverly Lewis, who sets her novels among the Amish in Pennsylvania, has sold 13.5 million copies of her books. Wanda Brunstetter's novels take place in Amish communities in Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania, and have sold more than four million copies...
Barnes & Noble book buyer Jane Love said Amish novels currently account for 15 of the chain's top 100 religious fiction titles. "It's almost like you put a person with a bonnet or an Amish field in the background and it automatically starts to sell well," Ms. Love said.
This shit is even hotter than Tumblr books! Hey Naomi Wolf, A Cultural History of the Vagina? Less vaginas, more bonnets.
