 
| Fanny Hill by John Cleland The memoirs of a lady of pleasure. "Fanny Hill has been frequently suppressed since its initial publication in 1749. This story of a prostitute is known both for its frank sexual descriptions and its parodies of contemporary literature... The U.S. Supreme Court finally cleared it from obscenity charges in 1966. " Quote Courtesy Banned Books On Line |
| Puppy Love and An Immodest Proposal by Elizabeth Neff Walker and others Two modern romance stories. Not being a romance reader, I'll be happy to get your synopsis, and credit you for it!
Puppy Love by Elizabeth Neff Walker
An Immodest Proposal by Jen Albury, Suzanne Barrett, Laura Matthews, Laurie Osborne, Angela Rashid, Tracy M. Thurber, Barbara Kay Turner |
| Maid in Boston by Paula Corbett A romantic story of a farm girl who moves to the big city of Boston to work for a high tech company. She enters an entirely new world of romance, excitement, and big city ways. |
| The One That Got Away by Magdvin Cszgarna The One That Got Away was written in 1981 and 1982 long before Forrest Gump or The Silence of the Lambs. It was revised slightly in 1989 to reflect the collapse of the Soviet Union. What is interesting about attempts to publish it is not that it was rejected by every major publisher but the nature of the rejection letters it received. Typical of these was one by Bob Guccioni of Penthouse who wrote, "This is really well written, but it's too weird for me. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole."
It really does seem to violate a lot of boundaries. |
 | The Reef by Edith Wharton A challenge to the moral climate of the day, The Reef follows the fancies of George Darrow, a young diplomat en route from London to France, intent on proposing to the widowed Anna Leath. Unsettled by Anna's reticence, Darrow drifts into an affair with Sophy Viner, a charmingly naive and impecunious young woman whose relations with Darrow and Anna's family threaten his prospects for success.
Whatever you think of "The Reef," it contains one of Edith Wharton's most wonderful scenes. Our "hero" has been dallying for a while in a hotel with the young girl he picked up on the boat dock, and he's wearying of her. We see his boredom and disillusionment through his reactions to the mere sounds she is making in the next room. He is so familiar by now with her habits and movements that he knows what she's doing without actually seeing her. A gem of a scene, in a strange jewel of a book. |
| A Day At The Beach and Other Stories For Adults by Anonomous Authors Someone once said to me, "If you can publish Fanny Hill then you can certainly publish some modern erotic stories." After a long struggle I decided to publish this set of stories. As the title says these are for adults. If you are not interested in this type of content, please do not download the book. My logs will tell me how many do download this book. I'm interested in seeing the results. |
| Crome Yellow by Aldous Huxley An interesting first book for a renowned author. Crome Yellow is a wonderful introduction to Huxley's story-telling talents. The scenes were so meticulously laid out I felt I was watching a movie in my head. Crome was also a wonderful introduction to Huxley's knack for detailed characters. His writing style pulls you into the characters and the world of the book.
Crome was a fabulous exploration of human sexual desire. The yearning, the attempts, the exploits, even the destruction of a man. All who have ever desired another can certainly relate to this one.
