Nothing sensual or erotic but here's the last 3 I read:

* The First World War, John Keegan
* Seveneves, Neal Stephenson
* Berlin, Jason Lutes

Master and Margarita, i think. I read a lot because I want to be a great writer. But for this I need a lot of training. For example, I buy essays on the Internet and then I learn to make up stories. I think it helps me, so I will continue on.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. 5/5! Loved it.

My only complaint is that in typical YA fashion, I didn't believe for a second that any of the characters are 17. I just imagined them as like 30 years old in my head and then the story was perfect.

I'm reading the January 1942 issue of Amazing Stories (cover story: The Test Tube Girl by "Frank Patton"/aka Raymond Palmer). I've read a lot of stories reprinted from pulp magazines, and even a couple of pulp magazine replicas, but this is the first time I've read an actual, crumbly old pulp magazine. I'm handling it very carefully.

The Lucifer Effect. Why good people turn to villains by Philip Zimbardo. I love reading books, but now I don't always have enough time.

I read the trilogy of books from David Pelzer A child called it, the lost boy, a man named Dave. It is about child abuse but more importantly it is about how to overcome it and not letting past childhood trauma dictate who we are as an adult. It is a true story of a man that took a really awful experience from his past but use it now to help others. It is very inspirational.

Just finished Stephen King's "11.22.63" and have now started "Childhood's End" by Arthur C Clarke. Both old favourites that I return to often.

The First Blade trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, I dont read many fantasy books but they were incredibly weel done. It would be nice to find some books with decent lewd/sexy bits though
