Second pick is definitely "Mrs. Robinson" from the Graduate. Or any of the women from "Valley of the Dolls", that uber-trashy novel by that vixen Jacqueline Susann.   That is the quintessential summer beach read, I smuggled it out my mom's room when I was a girl and obsessed about their sexy glamourous lives.  Even if they were all train wrecks waiting to happen.

Lol what book is the happy hooker from?


<Hugs you>  Awww, you're so young and cute

The Happy Hooker....Xaviera Hollander, back in the 70's, wrote a series of autobiographical books about her life as a high-priced call girl, then a madam in (I think) NYC, until she got caught so many times, was deported, so she went to Toronto and set up shop for awhile, wrote for Penthouse magazine for awhile (maybe she still does???) and now has retired back in Amsterdam where she came from originally.  She runs a bed & breakfast inn/dinner theatre establishment in that fine city.

She's actually an extremely intelligent woman, fluent in something like 7 languages.  Her first book, The Happy Hooker, was so successful because it was very well-written, witty, and had a lot of very juicy and explicit passages of her escapades both with clients and with her personal acquaintances.  I snuck them into the house when I was a teenager and I used to fantasize about being kind of like her....just not as a prostitute :)

I loved catcher in the rye and while I have so much about the graduate I've never read the book.

That sounds like an interesting book yes, this thread was a way to get more reading material!

I read a book about hookers in las vegas that worked at a legalized brothel. It was quite interesting I find myself attracted to a lot of non fiction reading material, but my goodness I do love fiction.

And i think i shall have to look up a copy of Elizabeth Lowell's Untamed, aurora.  That sounds like a good read.

What a fun idea for a thread!

Diane Gabaldon´s character... Remember those books?  Set in 1700s,  Scotland and a few other places... The woman who goes back in time... Claire Fraser... She is very realistic.  And flawed.  And they argue and have a really amazing experience.  Also, I was always fascinated with the medicinal uses of plants (and leeches and spider webs and such)

sunshine


. . . not to mention the hot sex scenes.

Anyway I'd choose the whipping boy just because he gets switched and caned for infractions that aren't his fault and well, that's where I started in on all this kinky stuff; after reading that book, spankings were heavily fantasized about. ;)

YES! That was the name of the book I've read so many books sometimes I can't remember than name.

Although to be honest I typically find myself relating to each of the characters I read about.

Status: offline 		In a way, I am a character in a book.  A few years ago, a budding science fiction author was one of my customers at Diversified Services.  We chatted several times about the Scene and about when I carried a gun back in the early 60s.  Much later, I noticed a book called "Ghost."  It caught my interest because my old callsign was "Spook."  Damn the guy was familiar... a lot tougher and younger than I am, but the basic philosophies were there.  I got in touch with him and sure enough, John Ringo patterned his sadistic warrior god on little old me.

Can't get much better than that.

I worked at a restaurant years and years ago actually it was when I was 16 I was a waitress and this guy with really long hair and glasses actually he was kinda creepy. Anyways he used to sit in a corner order a pot of coffee muse and watch and observe and write. The speculation was that he was writing about what he was observing some kind of book. I don't think anyone ever asked him what he was writing he had that serial killer look about him and now that I think about it he could have been an author, a poet, or just a really tired older grad student...


Off subject but your post brought that story to mind.
