Game on! The time has come to begin our Second Annual Naughty Reading Photo Contest.

Here’s the rules. Send us your visual approximation of what naughty reading is. Naughty readers do not have to be exclusively female. To keep this thing equal opportunity (and desirable for any and all sexual persuasions), we want naughty male readers too. Send your entries in JPEG form to ed AT edrants.com before September 8, 2006. (Filesize should be no more than 60K per entry. Anything over that will be disqualified.) Photos are limited to one per participant. So do send us your best photo. Like last year, I will post the photos (along with designated credit, if desired) as they come in.

From here, I’ll announce three finalists which you, the readers, can vote on. And timing-wise, I’ll be decidedly more on the ball than I was last year.

The winner will receive a Powell’s $25 Gift Card.

So have at it, naughty book lovers, academics and librarians alike! Show the world right now that reading is sexy and salacious!
