Member recommendations

heidijane recommends The Pornographer of Vienna by Lewis Crofts
heidialice recommends Memories of my Melancholy Whores by Gabriel García Márquez, "Possibly too obvious of a recommendation? Very different takes on this central theme...."
roby72 recommends The Lover by Marguerite Duras
rcc recommends Belinda by Anne Rice, "IF you're "shocked" by Nabokov's Lolita, you surely should read Belinda. It takes off where Lolita ends. What I mean to say is that Anne Rice showed herself (see more) to be much more adpet - and daring - at writing about this "taboo" concerning the sexual adventures of a very young girl. Also, Belinda is so much more her "own woman" than Lolita."
zembla recommends The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler, "Handler is a confessed 'Nabokov freak,' as he said when I saw him at a reading two years ago. He absorbs the influence beautifully."
edwinbcn recommends The North China Lover by Marguerite Duras, "Another story of a man with a passion for a young girl."
rosenrot recommends Belinda by Anne Rice
Queenofcups recommends The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch, "I heard many echoes of Lolita in reading The Black Prince. Anyone else find this to be the case?"
betterthanchocolate recommends Acts of Love: Ancient Greek Poetry from Aphrodite's Garden (Modern Library) by George Economou ed., "Acts of love, ecstatic, outrageous, profane."
