Read the nominated passages at The Guardian.
Oh my god. My favorite is very definitely the 'demon eel' bit from Paul Theroux. "A whole creature of live slime"? EEEEEW.
Oh, wait. The bit from Giles Coren's Winkler is kind of amazing, too. "She grabbed at his dick, which was leaping around like a shower dropped in an empty bath"? What does that even mean???
Oh my f-ing gosh! Gross. Gross, gross, gross, gross. Did you read every single one? I did. They were awesome. :)

It means there's plenty of reasons only to read children's books.

I know, I know-- I read that "eel" passage. Not ok.

Hehe I have an image of a cock springing around like an elephant waving its trunk.
