For strong stomachs

This is a very strange book, about a fellow that has a bit of a sexual problem (Hint: The story takes place before the age of Viagra). He somehow thinks the way to solve this problem is to grow phallic shaped mushrooms. In order to grow these mushrooms, one needs a supply of maggots. In case you have not guessed yet, maggots come from dead things. This is the only book I have ever read that made me sick to my stomach. That alone deserves 5 stars, but it also is a very different and interesting read. Not for the faint of heart.
