Hmm, I thought Miller was a bit too crude and male-orientated to be classed as erotica... maybe not though. It's not a genre that's ever taken my fancy so I'm not entirely sure what it entails.
1. Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness
2. D. H. Lawrence - The Rainbow
3. Evelyn Waugh - A Handful of Dust
4. James Joyce - A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
5. Evelyn Waugh - The Loved One
6. Philip Pullman - Northern Lights
Read it plenty when I was younger but hadn't picked it up for years. Still love it. I quite enjoyed the film when I saw it the other week, but the re-read's only reminded me how vastly superior the book is.
