A wine bar debate from the other night - does high quality, well written erotic fiction exist that would titilate but not turn off conservative Christian wives. My opinion is that women are beautiful sexual beings, that conservative Christian women in monogamous relationships are sexually robust, and that someone surely has written good erotica for this audience. Can anyone help prove my point?

I'm not ranting. I just want to know why, and for the HP fans to defend their favorite series as why or how come is so good or so fabulous, and for detractors to say why it's just so-so material.

Does anyone know of any websites that critique, peer review, edit, or otherwise offer feedback on written works, fan fiction or original? One of the obstacles I'm facing these days is that none of my friends or relatives are writers/readers, none of them are critical enough, and none of them know enough about my chosen genre to give any sort of useful advice. So I feel funny, and sort of bad, for giving them stuff to critique (the last thing I'm sure they want is more work to do). Does anyone know of any resources that offer a sort of feedback/critique service? I've looked through the other answers, but the websites are either defunct or don't offer this service in a clear manner (I have no idea how to navigate writing.com to get this service).

Non-fiction, self help, classics, biographies are good.
But NO fantasy stories or romantic novels like those Gossip Girl series.

Thanks in advance! :-)

I'm reading that, and I love it! I'd love to read some more World Classics. Any recommendations? I've read Anna Karina, Mark Twain, Steinbeck and some more popular classics.

How can I become a writer, and don't say write, cause anyone can.

How can I start so I can become a good writer, I had it, but I lost it, because I haven't written in years, more than 10.

So what do I have to do? Read a lot?

queen of the damned movie was decent enough. Aaliyah was a total knock out. But the movie deviated from the book. Jesse wasn't an important character, in fact, she was hardly mentioned in the book.
i saw the movie before i read the book and from that perspective, i cant appreciate the movie as a whole because, quite honestly i didnt understand some of it. Where did those other characters come from? it was not until read all the books, did i start to understand. For me, the movie kinda sucked because it left me hanging. they should have just concentrated on one aspect of the story and remained faithful to the original version rather than make changes.

My guilty little secret (or one of them at least) is that I am a big fan of vampire based books, and particularly vampire/supernatural 'romance' novels. I am a big fan of Laurell K Hamilton's "Anita Blake" series, Charlaine Harris' "Southern Vampire" series and the Dark Hunter books by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Do you have any suggestions for other authors/books I should try?

It's a x-mas gift for my brother. His favorite book is the Alchemist. He's into stuff like: The Life of Pi, Celestine prophecy, Da Vinci Cose, Siddartha, Tuesdays with Morrie, etc. He's interested in truth seeking themes. Whether they are older classics or modern classics, it doesn't matter. I would appreciate some help. Thanks.
