In my trip around the MOB, I’ve been delighted to find a few blogs that I’d overlooked over the years, that I realize I’m going to have to check out much more regularly, or even devote a coveted spot on my feed reader to.<\/p>\n

One of those would be Conrad Zero. He’s an enigmatic anonyblogger<\/a> with a taste for writing depthy analytical pieces about eclectic topics; he doesn’t blog often, per se, but he writes interesting stuff.<\/p>\n

Yes, interesting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A leisurely stroll through the fiction section of your local bookstore will reveal a surprising number of book covers that are\u2026 ass.<\/p>\n

Literally.<\/p>\n

Primarily female ass.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to be the very, very, very last person in the world to complain if people want to put any portion of the female anatomy on book covers.\u00a0 So blame my Inner Philosopher for asking \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

The simple answer is that \u2019sex sells.\u2019 But for the sake of a blog post, I\u2019m going to pretend there\u2019s more to it than that.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s a longish post, like most of Zero’s output.\u00a0 And, like most of Zero’s output, it’s an interesting read.<\/p>\n

So I’ll be checking back more often.<\/p>\n

That may be the downside of taking this tour of the MOB; my daily reading load keeps rising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
