I just read “The Story of O” by anonymous. This is a classic BDSM book written in France about 100 years ago. Nobody ever new who the author was...it’s extremely erotic book.
Athena Lee, What did you think of the STORY Of "O"? Have you read Anne Rices Trilogy. The Sleeping Beauty Trilogy? The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty Beauty's Punishment Beauty's Release.................. and theirs a 4th.....Beauty's Kingdom...............
Got this book last week. It has concept art and explanations of locations and characters from Zelda: Breath Of The Wild.
I love Anne Rice! My favorites were The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty and Beauty’s punishment. Which are your favorites?
Anne Desclos (in the 1990s I believe), came out and said she wrote the story. She passed away not long after. If you liked that story, you may enjoy a retelling in the book, "The Master of O," by Earest Greene. This version is a more realistic version and and easier plot to follow, while still being very kinky. Easnest was a Senior Editor for Hustler's Taboo Magazine, a Porn producer and director, and is married to the porn star, Nina Heartley.
Athena, I'd like all four. Of the books! Am starting to look for the Master of "O" by Earnest Green......
"MoonBreaker" by Simon R Green. It is about a James bond type character who uses magic and science to solve the problems he comes across. If you are interested try the first novel in the series, "The Man with the Golden Torc".
Currently, I am reading "Trouble Is My Business" by Raymond Chandler. It is a volume of short stories previously published in magazines decades ago before he flipped a lot of the content of the short stories over into some of the plots for his full length novels. I also have ten other library books sitting on my dining room table that I need to get to reading after I'm done with my current one. And, geez Louise, I also have a bookshelf of my own collection of novels and comic book TPBs that I need to read. So much to read, so little time.
I've been to Checkpoint Charlie. It's a museum now and there are a lot of photos on the wall that are very interesting and you can buy a piece of the wall too!!!
I'm thinking about ordering "How to Win Games and Beat People: Demolish Your Family and Friends at over 30 Classic Games with Advice from an International Array of Experts". With a title that long, you know it's got to be a good book!
Lol, I'm not reading anything in particular these days. The Butterfly Collector is pretty good though.
I just started reading The Daughters of Mars by Thomas Keneally, which is about two sisters from Australia who serve as military nurses during WWI.
Re-reading a few classics, Crime & Punishment and a Jules Verne novel Jouney to the Centre of the Earth. Yes, I typically read 2 books or more at a time.
Sad that more people are worried about television, social media, buzz words and what can be obtained in a "microwave" society. Socrates, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Isaac Newton & Stephen Hawking must be rolling in their graves.
There's so many books that I've been meaning to read, but among the classics, perhaps my favorite is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. For some reason, I really identify with Pip, the lead character and hero of the story, in his adventures into manhood. I also really loved John Grisham's story, Bleachers, about a small-town high school football hero who revisits his hometown upon the news that the team's famous coach is dying, and how he comes to grips with his past after a knee injury ended his career. Among non-fiction books, two of my favorites are sports-oriented. Instant Replay: The Green Bay Diary of Jerry Kramer is the story of the famous 1967 season of the Green Bay Packers as seen through the eyes of the Hall-of-Fame offensive lineman, and A Season on the Brink: A Year with Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers, which chronicled the 1985-86 season of the Indiana University basketball team and The General himself, warts and all. No matter how you feel about Bob Knight, it's a very fascinating story.
I've been reading "Your Mother Would Be Proud (True Tales of Mayhem & Misadventure)". It's stories of outrageous and frequently embarrassing incidents in people's lives told in their own words. It's pretty entertaining though not great. Apparently it's from Australia and the people, I think, are well known there. I just happened across it one day on Amazon. I have it on my Kindle. I do like my Kindle because it has a dictionary and I can easily look up words and it also translates phrases in foreign languages while I read. But, I still enjoy paper books as well.
I’m currently reading Beautiful Boy by David Sheff. It’s a true story about a father who’s son struggled with chemical dependency. He never stopped loving his son, but had to stop enabling him. I think they recently made a movie about this book
I just spent the last year reading the entire Wheel of Time series. If you into Tolken type stuff it's pretty good. Bout to start Lonly but not Alone, which is the autobiography of Queen Wilhelmina of the Nearherlands who rained through both world wars. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
This is great! I like the idea of this thread. I'll add something to it as soon as I start LOL ~~~~~~~~~~ Warm Hugs and Kisses, BETTY PAGE Call (775)246-901 BunnyRanch.com/betty-page www.RealBettyPage.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realbettypage/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RealBettyPage
