Girlfriends are weird, right? I mean most of the time they want your complete and total attention, yet never want to do anything you want to do...which makes the whole giving your complete attention thing difficult.
In Jon Meyers' book PINK PLANET, the author firmly raises his middle finger to unsupportive girlfriends (you supportive ones are cool as hell, by the way, but know that you are rare fish in a vast sea, at least in my experience). The book tells the story of a guy named Milo who is obsessed with a porn star named Molly Methhead. Ms Methhead is the star of the new video game Pink Planet, which causes Milo's head to nearly explode, seeing as how video games are just as important to him as she is.
But of course, real world problems keep distracting him from his obsessions. His girlfriend is sleeping around on him, and while this annoys him, he still can't help but think of Molly and his quest to unlock the bonus scene of the game.
Pink Planet hilariously explores a life consumed by both reality and virtual reality in the filthiest, sleaziest way imaginable. I had a lot of fun reading this and you will too.

PINK PLANET is not erotica. PINK PLANET is smut! It is shameless, unapologetic smut. Author Jon R Meyer presents his ode to 60s era smut pulp and it feels so wrong and reads so right.
There is really no reason to like PINK PLANET as much as I did. There are technical/editorial concerns, yet it is still readable. There are questionable character motivations and yet I find them largely believable. And WTF with Snouk the giant spider? He seems almost thrown in there as an excuse to call the book bizarro, and yet he's lovable and acceptable like a character in a movie you know is only there so they can sell toys of it.
Despite all the shortcomings, I loved this story. It's whimsical. Its real when it's not over the top. Its entertaining to read video game play in prose form, quite a feat. Under it all, its solid story telling.
If you like your fiction rough around the edges, read this. If you like a story with B movie sensibilities and grindhouse flair, read this. If you flat out need smut in your life, read this. I did and enjoyed the hell out of it!
