Madame Bovary

I love this book on so many layers. A book that I plan on rereading very soon.

Stung with Love: Poems and Fragments of Sappho (Penguin Classics)

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 00:10:48 GMT

Doesn't really mater your sexual orientation, it doesn't get more 'classic literature' then Sappho.

Delta of Venus

Sun, 28 Aug 2011 02:10:08 GMT

I had read Henry Miller before I read anything by Anais Nin. So, in that regard it was a great break and nice to have a very different voice. However, her stories tend to have roughly the same conclusion. Pleasure then a tragic then tragedy... which sort of got old after a few hundred pages. Still, there are some images that stick in my mind and stories I liked.

The Story of My Life (the Complete Memoirs of Giacomo Casanova, Volume 1 of 12)

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 23:56:39 GMT

There are a number of translated editions of Giacomo Casanova's Memoirs. There is even a nifty ilistrated Kindle version. Still, given the chance I think I will try to find at least one copy of from this volume as they are translated by Arthur Machen (the man who it said inspired H.P. Lovecraft). I have loved Machen's other works so could see how he might do well in translating this rather lengthily collection of writings.

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty

Fri, 17 Feb 2012 22:04:23 GMT

Yes, these books do fall on the side of "dark erotic" and wouldn't recommend for those tame on the subject. I found the first book to be enjoyable and quite imaginative.

Beauty's Release (Sleeping Beauty Trilogy)

Yep, got bored with the story by the third novel and never bother to read the conclusion.

There is something truly warped about Georges Bataille. A book I will never forget reading... it a good way.

Venus in Furs (Penguin Classics)

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:02:22 GMT

Sadism is the term coined after the Marquis De Sade. Well, this is the other guy... Masochism. I enjoyed the writing style more then that of De Sade's works.

Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:02:54 GMT

I actually never made it that far into "Justine" it was officially too much for me. I did however read a few of his other writings so the book wasn't a complete waste.

The Torture Garden: Complete and Unexpurgated

Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:06:28 GMT

This was the first 'dark erotic' book that I ever read. There is something about the imagery of the garden that has always stuck with me over the years.
