Erotica 101: Update

So, last year I decided to read through Susie Bright's erotica canon in an attempt to get more invested in erotica.

Here's the original reading list:

Crash by J.G. Ballard
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelaure
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
Penthouse: Naughty by Nature
The Way of a Man with a Maid
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
In the Cut by Susanna Moore

Here's what actually happened:

Crash by J.G. Ballard
The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty by A.N. Roquelaure
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
Mommas, Trembling Sisters, Puritans & Perverts by Joanna Russ
Penthouse: Naughty by Nature
The Way of a Man with a Maid
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
In the Cut by Susanna MooreVox by Nicholson Baker

Crash was amazing, In the Cut was haunting, and it's no secret that I fell utterly in love with Joanna Russ last year, and desperately wish she'd written porn, or at least slash fiction. I really, really tried reading Lady Chatterley's Lover, but in the end I just wanted to stab Lawrence in his stupid face. His stupid stupid face. I read more of the Marquis de Sade then was good for me (that post is on the way), and that might lead me into reading more about the Libertine movement this year.

But, here's the real point: what should I read this year? I think I'm still going to read Lost Souls, but maybe not the rest. I had a lot more fun reading the accidental porn I stumbled into instead of the stuff I planned. My current list is:

Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite
Beauty's Punishment by A.N. Roquelaure
Emmanuelle by Emmanuelle Arsan

Any other suggestions?
