the claiming of sleeping beauty
anne rice writing as a.n.roquelaure

anne rice retells the traditional folktale of 'sleeping beauty'. the first if the classic erotic trilogy of sleeping beauty. here the prince awakens beauty not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. his reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is beauty's complete and total enslavement to him. i read some chapters in this book hundred times. read it and you'll know why (wink). *

kitchen
banana yoshimoto

my first book of yoshimoto. also her first and her style is contemporary. the 'kitchen' with a bonus short story 'moonlight shadow' will leave you wanting for more. her writing is neat, gentle and cool even within life's crises...death, love, loneliness, tragedy, transexuality, depression. very charming tale. *
