From the book:
"Laura is my secretary. Her voice cannot help being confidential, rich, husky, issuing like an improper suggestion from her immaculately made-up lips. You must meet her some time. She'll make you wish you'd never been born.
Imagine a woman of five feet six inches. Her slow green eyes are laconic under smoky long-lashed eyelids. Imagine her with flame-red hair, cut short as an urchin's - a fashion amongst sophisticated women. Imagine a wind-blown appearance at her high cheek-bones. Imagine the sleek lines of a mature woman with the clean cut of a racehorse and legs longer and more perplexing than history. You like the smooth set of her hips? The sustained nervousness of her buttocks under her well-tailored skirts? Her breasts rising upwards from a long lean belly tapering to perfection at the waist? Stranger, you are on dangerous ground. Better retreat at once to your semi-detached respectability. She is not for you. Take it from me. I confess I went so far as to sleep with her. .."
ABOUT THE PUBLISHER: EROTIC EVOLUTION E-BOOKS
(Publishers of Classic Erotic Literature and Love Stories - Fully Illustrated with Nude Art Photography)
Erotic Evolution publish quality erotic sex stories for Kindle eBooks. After reviewing several hundred famous romance and Victorian erotic novels (previous bestsellers and banned books) we have selected the best erotic sex stories based on the sexual content, character and story development, quality of erotic literature and types of sex scenes (they are clearly connected - sex is better when the stories and characters are 'real').
We publish provocative 'hardcore' sex in literature (previously classified as pornography and banned) simply because this reflects the truth of our sexual evolution - sex is central to our existence and connects back to our primitive wild animal instincts. We can creatively cultivate our sexuality to be moral and beautiful - but also hot, sexy and smutty - to make the most of our primitive passions of love and lust, pleasure and pain!
Reading quality erotic books cultivates the sexual side of our mind, enhances our sexual lust, and adds spice and variety to our sex lives, thus we think you will love our collection of sexually provocative erotic fiction and sex stories - in thought and action.

Running with Scissors: A Memoir Augusten Burroughs RUNNING WITH SCISSORS is the true story of a boy whose mother (a poet with delusions of Anne Sexton) gave him away to be raised by her unorthodox psychiatrist who bore a striking resemblance to Santa Claus. So at the age of twelve, Burroughs found himself amidst Victorian squalor living with the doctor’s bizarre family, and befriending a pedophile who resided in the backyard shed. The story of an outlaw childhood where rules were unheard of, and the Christmas tree stayed up all year-round, where Valium was consumed like candy, and if things got dull, an electroshock therapy machine could provide entertainment. The funny, harrowing, and bestselling account of an ordinary boy’s survival under the most extraordinary circumstances…

De Profundis (Modern Library Classics) Oscar Wilde, Richard Ellmann Written from Wilde's prison cell at Reading Gaol to his friend and lover Lord Alfred Douglas, De Profundis explodes the conventions of the traditional love letter and offers a scathing indictment of Douglas's behavior, a mournful elegy for Wilde's own lost greatness, and an impassioned plea for reconciliation. At once a bracingly honest account of ruinous attachment and a profound meditation on human suffering, De Profundis is a classic of gay literature. Richard Ellmann calls De Profundis "a love letter...One of the greatest, and the longest, ever written."
This Modern Library Paperback Classics edition contains newly commissioned notes. |

And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic Randy Shilts By the time Rock Hudson's death in 1985 alerted all America to the danger of the AIDS epidemic, the disease had spread across the nation, killing thousands of people and emerging as the greatest health crisis of the 20th century. America faced a troubling question: What happened? How was this epidemic allowed to spread so far before it was taken seriously? In answering these questions, Shilts weaves weaves the disparate threads into a coherent story, pinning down every evasion and contradiction at the highest levels of the medical, political, and media establishments.
Shilts shows that the epidemic spread wildly because the federal government put budget ahead of the nation's welfare; health authorities placed political expediency before the public health; and scientists were often more concerned with international prestige than saving lives. Against this backdrop, Shilts tells the heroic stories of individuals in science and politics, public health and the gay community, who struggled to alert the nation to the enormity of the danger it faced. And the Band Played On is both a tribute to these heroic people and a stinging indictment of the institutions that failed the nation so badly.
