Memoirs Of A Geisha  is also very good.

I hated The Marketplace series, The Beauty Trilogy and The Story of O.  In fact, I've yet to read any fiction related to D/s and BDSM that I enjoyed.   However, more to the point...

I like anything by James Patterson, (except the mushy stuff), J.D. Robb and Nora Roberts, John Grisham, Painted House is one of his better ones.  A Cry to Heaven by Anne Rice is probably her best effort.  The entire Outlander series by Diana Galbaldon.  Harlan Coben is great.  Iris Johansen is terrific.  Barbara Delinsky's characters and relationships are very real.  Patricia Cornwall, some Stephen King.  Everything by Dean Koontz.  It's a pretty good feat to find a writer that makes me need to keep a dictionary close at hand.  The Harry Potter books, Chronicles of Narnia, The Amber Spyglass series.  Anything by Robert Heinlein, but especially Stranger in a Strange Land (who doesn't like that one), and Glory Road.  Tami Hoag is good.  The Dragonlance series, first three books.  I could go on... ;)

I don't do recreational reading, but I do john reading.

The New York Review of Books
The New Yorker
Scientific American
Mother Jones
Sports Illustrated
PC World
Playboy (well, I guess I don't always read that in the john)

Maybe I left something out, but I can't think of anything else.

Anything else I read, unfortunately, can't be called recreational.

Edited to add: I used to read Smithsonian too, but I canceled my subscription when I read about the high-school science series they're publishing by a schoolteacher who wants to give equal time to Intelligent Design.

In the first one any one eve asked for help was a murder target, eve was intended too in this last one the killing game Spiro wanted to kill eve, now in the search, yes again someone is murdering people and has murdered all of logans team

It's not all BDSM, but it's still quite lovely and there is actually a story along with the sexy bits :)

Erotic, power exchange, sexy books: I loved the Marketplace series. Topping from Below was interesting. The Beauty Series I only enjoy in a rare moment - too "fantastical." I really loved Exit to Eden. I've read a few of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake books and enjoyed them. Jean Auel's Earth's Children books and Diana Gabaldon's series beginning with Outlander are sexy in parts but lovely historical romance also. Robert Heinlein's Future Histories, but also Stranger in a Strange Land, I Will Fear No Evil, and Friday.

Sci-fi fantasy: I love Anne McCaffrey, Terry Goodkind, Robert Jordan, Terry Pratchett, Piers Anthony (I'm re-reading the Incarnations of Immortality now)...

Ok I'm gonna miss the bus if I continue. I'll try to visit this thread tonight.

Status: offline 		I read about anything that looks vampiric (smirk) and I'll be sifting through here to see if I can find some god new vamp books.  I dont like Kings newer stuff, but I have read al his older ones.  Dean Koontz is realy quite good, and I also love Chuck Palahiuk (fight club, i might be missing a letter or two in there).  Then theres the seris about Hannible Lecter which are all great reads.
One book I ws pleasantly surprised by was called Retribution by Juliane Hoffman. I found it on sale at a walgreens of all places, and it was an incredible read.  Got me through my week of having no TV and no internet after I moved.

Reading the constant princess by phillipa gregory at mo.
Just read sleep with me by joanna briscoe - def reccomend.
Also anything by torey hayden is heartbreaking but a fantastic read. She is a special needs teacher who has looked after a lot of children who have suffered some form of abuse. Hard to read at times but worth it.



I thought this was a new thread until i started reading lol.
Its well out of date for my reading though so ...........
Im reading the marquis de sade juliette at present and have just read justine. I recommend them definately, full of politics, philosophy and really squicky non-consensual bdsm but if you can get passed the squick factor they are good.
Also read the beauty series which i loved and bith molly weatherfield novels the op mentions.

Oh, hell yeah, lol. Nothing like a bit of pop-culture to de-stress. I think I slept better the night I learned which American Idol contestents have the most chance of winning, and why.

I'm in the middle of "Dragons in Eden" by Carl Sagan and "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and really enjoying both of them.



Brat



I'll suggest "The Demon-Haunted World" to you, then, also by Sagan. It's a great read. =)

Mmmmm, an eclectic list:  James Lee Burke [absolutely the best!], Eric Ambler, Mark Twain, Langston Hughes, Carl Hiaasen, Ed McBain, John D MacDonald, Ross Macdonald, Lee Child, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich, P.D. James, Frank Herbert, Agatha Christie, Ken Follett, Tom Clancy, Dale Brown, Clive Cussler, ...


OMG!  Yessssssss...James Lee Burke is absolutely the best.  i have read everything he's ever written (including stories in magazines).  His Dave Robicheaux series is my absolute favorite and i don't usually read books in a series.  i love the characters and really care about them.  They are the only books that consistently make me laugh and cry out loud.  Great choice!  As a matter of fact, it was Master's interest in this series that was one of the very first things that caused me to be smitten with Him!      i couldn't believe someone else liked them as much as i do.  i had the opportunity last year to do a "pilgrimage" to New Iberia and stay on Bayou Teche - what bliss!  Generally, though, i am a nonfiction reader and some of my favorites are "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin deBecker (about intuition), "Freakonomics" by Steven Leavitt, and "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell.  Classic fiction by Thomas Hardy (esp. "Tess of  the D'urbervilles), "Grapes of Wrath" by Steinbeck and anything by Carson McCullers are also favorites that come right to mind.........slave luci
