What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex: book of blank pages become surprise bestseller
A book with entirely blank pages has become a bestseller after becoming a hit with students.
“Professor” Sheridan Simove has produced a 200 page book entitled “What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex”.
The work has sold out online on Amazon following heavy promotion in student unions across Britain.
The £4.69 item, which was intended as a novelty gift, is being used by students as a notebook.
Nottingham university student Jess Lloyd said: “I bought a copy for my mate as a joke and he started using it as a note pad for lectures. Now everyone seems to have one. It’s started a real craze on campus.”
“Author” Sheridan Simove said: “This book is the result of 39 years of painstaking research and practical study into the subject. I left nothing to chance and really threw myself into my work.
“After many years of hard work I finally realised that men think of absolutely nothing apart from sex. It was a shocking conclusion and I realised that the world needed to be informed of my findings.
“I never thought for one moment that my life’s work would be embraced by Britain’s students in their thousands. It is very gratifying to see my book outselling many other academic works whose authors claim to have worked even harder than I to break new ground and further the extent of human knowledge.”
Mr Simove, 39, an Oxford University graduate who is an author, performer and entrepreneur, added: “I never anticipated that my book would be used for students to take their lecture notes in. In a sense they are proving me wrong by filling my book with content. But I wonder how many of them go back to thinking about sex once the lecture is over. I’d be willing to bet that answer is 100%. In fact I would go even further and estimate that 99% are thinking about sex even during the lecture. They probably think using my book as a notepad will help them get laid. And they are of course totally correct in that hypothesis.
“I now intend to develop my research further and am planning a PhD at the university of life on the subject of what women think about apart from sex. I hope to publish my findings in another decade.”
本书作者西摩夫（Sheridan Simove）为牛津大学硕士，现年39岁，他说，经过39年苦心钻研和实际考察，他终于得到令人震撼的结论，就是男人除了性之外，绝对甚么都不想，他必须「把这个结论告知全世界」。《中国时报》报道，《性之外，男人想些甚么》目前在英国大学可说人手一册，很多学生拿来当笔记本使用。西摩夫表示，他估计拿这本书上课的学生，有九九％在课堂上想的还是性。
