Lie With Me on the Big Screen

This may look like a children's book, but it so very much is not. It's maybe the complete opposite of a children's book. It's probably the most sexual book I've ever read. Figuring the cover was innocent enough, I started to read it on a train, and let me tell you: you do NOT want to be reading this book in a public place. Unless you're into that kind of thing. It follows a lusty woman (occasionally lusty in a very upsetting and desperate way) through various (very explicit) sexual encounters with both men and women, all rotating around the axis of one man with whom she seems to have a love/hate relationship. The book is really very interesting, kind of tortured (both literally and figuratively), very hot and the writing is quite impressive. I've always liked this book.

That said, I was surprised to learn that this book is now a movie (going by the same title). It's opening on Friday in Toronto. I'll have to see it, as I'm completely intruiged by the whole idea of having a book this sexually explicit translate on screen. I'm not sure what the schedule is for any release dates around the world, but here's a bit about the movie from AM900 CHML. The movie stars Lauren Lee Smith (from the L Word) as the woman and Eric Balfour (24 and Six Feet Under) as the man.

Nice to note: Toronto itself seems to be a co-star in this movie. Sexy movie + lots of Toronto = fantastic.
