I'm certain that this has been done...

[creativejuices]

but I am new here. I am curious about, um, many things, but among them, what authors you like.

 

[creativejuices]

the reason I ask is, I was feeling a little Erica Jong-y today and am re-reading "Any Woman's Blues" for the millionth time. I read it when I am feeling obsessive or sexual. So that would be....always.

Again I recommend Nicholson Baker (Vox in particular) and Daniel Handler for a good erotic, get-ya-juices-flowing read.

Philip K Dick

Greg Egan

Oh good. Some new ones. Thanks.

I am ashamed to ask, but Syrreal Bauxes is a joke, right?

No, he's published by the same people that handle Mel K. Artons.

Have you seen Salo? It's based on "The 120 Days of Sodom"... I didn't like it at all... it was very disturbing.

Hello Everyone, hope this evening finds you in good spirits! ~

glorfindale - Thanks so much for the PM, always love to run into more CO folks!

oh, and the beauty series by Ann Rice, though she wrote it under a pen name I can't seen to remember just now...

"Justine" is my favorite of the Marquis.

A. N. Roquelaure, is the name...and yes, very enjoyable! "A Cry to Heaven" is another that I highly recommend. It is not part of the Vampire or Witches series, it stands alone and is fantastic.

I would have to say my favorite author is probably Gabriel Garcia Marquez. "Love in the Time of Cholera" is fantastic. As are his short story collections.

Irvine Welsh (He wrote Trainspotting) is also amazing. His best is "Marabou Stork Nightmares". Spectacularly original, if somewhat difficult to get through at times. He writes in a phonetically spelled, every THINK Scottish accent. Well worth the time, however.

Tom Robbins comes in very high. "Another Roadside Attraction", is my favorite.

"Of Human Bondage" is an excellent read, and is one my list of favorites as well...although, not too many other selections from Maugham do. Razor's Edge...that is about all.

Well…I could talk about books for hours, so perhaps I will shut up now before I drive you all crazy!
