This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

If you're looking for some light reading....
...the sort of thing you can take on holiday and read by the poolside... I'd suggest 'Hogg' by Samuel R. Delany.

From the wiki page:

"At the time it was written, no one would publish it due to its graphic and copious descriptions of murder, homosexuality, child molestation, incest, coprophilia, coprophagia, urolagnia, anal-oral contact, necrophilia and rape."


Makes De Sade look like Roald Dahl by comparison.

I've read 100 days of sodom.
It's like reading someone's shopping list.

I read Dhalgren once.
It kept me away from Delaney for the last 35 years.
