I lay in the bed, engrossed in the story, upside down, with my feet where my pillow would normally be... the tale was absolutely beguiling.

It had started three sheets ago, and I was seriously hooked.

This was brilliant! A thousand thread-count sheet of finest Egyptian cotton, overprinted with the bedtime novel of your choice. One sheet per page, Velcro along one edge so you simply "tear off" each page/sheet after you have finished reading it, and return it to Bedtime Reading, to be washed and reprinted.

Fantastic tales, and a freshly laundered set of sheets every night.

Also offered in half and half, so you don't have to roll your sleeping partner onto the floor to read the end of each sentence.

- I'm afraid they got there first! [DrCurry, Jul 25 2006]

I only fear that Playboy or Hustler will modify this idea. I don't think I would use their sheets though, regardless of how many times they were laundered.

Gone With The Wind, would need to be at least three sheets.

Three sheets to the wind?

Print song lyrics and call it sheet music.

After all, books are printed between covers...

I tried the Playboy version but all the sheets were stuck together.

Print bible verses in random places so you can wake up staring at "Job 26:6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering. "

Glow in the dark bedtime grafitti perhaps?
-- daseva, Jul 24 2006


Not what I intended.

This is a book, in the shape of a bed, with turnable pages, made of the bedding.
-- UnaBubba, Jul 24 2006


Could work well as a comic book too.
-- Jinbish, Jul 24 2006


True... or a porn magazine. I'm sure that would be a fairly early adaptation.
-- UnaBubba, Jul 24 2006


Comic books would be easy, the graphics are already popular in kids decor. if you can stand that sort of thing.
-- dentworth, Jul 24 2006


Maybe just the pillow case.

But wait, stop the press/mill/rinse-cycle. How about a big roll of Tolkien like the roll of towel you get in public toilets. That way you don't have to move round the bed you just roll it on a bit every few lines. Bedsheets could last for ages, being incrementally replaced each night.

The porno version would go down on you veeery slowly, ooh you tease, yes I want it baby. Aaaargh!! it's the joke version with a Bangkok ladyboy on, oh humanity!
-- marklar, Jul 24 2006


+ because I love fresh sheets with lots of stories in them.
-- xandram, Jul 24 2006


Manga? Hentai? There are possibilities and a great market there.

I'm reading Thomas Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" at the moment. It would make excellent bed linen. That guy must have spent a lot of time completely off his face.
-- UnaBubba, Jul 25 2006


Buy the porno version and your teenagers will be jumping at the chance to do the laundry.
-- pigtails_and_ponies, Jul 25 2006


If only to hide their sheets from us.
-- UnaBubba, Jul 25 2006


the sneaks!
-- pigtails_and_ponies, Jul 26 2006


This would work for one of those multi-threaded stories: "If you think the hero should shoot go to page 47 (about 2ft up the bed); If you think the hero should run away go to page 112 (just under your wife's legs)"
-- hippo, Jul 28 2006


I suppose it would, [hippo]. I thought of it as a book of sheets that you read sequentially and return for laundering.

My wife always steals the pages at night. +
