Well, I could suggest you read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer – a great and insightful classic that contains as much comedy as tragedy. Or the Prince and the Pauper – another truly great book about class injustices and living in a world where you don’t belong. But instead, I’m going to suggest you read The Delta of Venus. It’s a book written by the woman you quoted above – Anais Nin. It’s often referred to as a collection of Nin’s best erotica – but really, I think it’s a collection of rich and vastly interesting stories that are truly enchanting – and oft times empowering.

Enjoy all or none!
