A helpful list of floggings in literature

You know how we pour over bookshelves trying to find the best spanking bits in them? Well, sometimes the national press does the work for you. Check out this old Guardian list entitled (I kid you not) “Ten of the best floggings”. From David Copperfield to James Bond, it’s a nice selection.

Now, we could probably argue about whether the floggings listed in the article are actually the best you can find – my view: meh, some of them are good, but where are all the girls? – but it’s jolly nice of the Guardian to publish the list in the first place.
