1	Desire and Helen [Secure Mobipocket] by Frances Lengel		Trocchi's first novel, and considered by many his most succesful bit of erotica (though there were so many good ones by this author), is the tale of Helen, a girl born to a rural village in Northwest Australia (about as isolated a place as it gets), and a woman of the sea, like that other Helen (both are Greek as well). Determined to flout convention and chronicle her life--all of life--Helen brings us along as she loses her innocence, is betrayed, freed, imprisoned again, cheated, cheats others... more info>> Category: Erotica	1 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor

2	I Am a Woman [Secure Mobipocket] by Ann Bannon		The second in Ann Bannon's legendary series, by date of publication, introduces us to the legendary Beebo Brinker. Laura, who'd left college never to return in Odd Girl Out, finds herself fleeing the home she'd shared with an overbearing (and abusive) father. Settling in the big city, Laura moves in with Marcia, a married divorcee and the object of Laura's affections. Along comes Jack, a girl man who guides Laura through the difficult early period, and finally Beebo herself, a woman known in all... more info>> Category: Mainstream

3	Memoirs of a Coxcomb [Secure Mobipocket] by John Cleland		Cleland, who took an early retirement from pornagraphy after Fanny Hill's publication got him a brief stint in jail and a lifelong pension, wrote a few more works in his lifetime. This companion book, Memoirs of a Coxcomb, about a male prostitute and relying perhaps on the experiences of both Cleland and his father, was long suppressed, not seeing publication until many years after the expurgated Woman of Pleasure became available.

4	Odd Girl Out [Secure Mobipocket] by Ann Bannon		The first, by date of publication, in what's come to be known as the Beebo Brinker series. This is classic '50s lesbian pulp, missing only the preface by some academic to shelter the populace from decadence and turpitude. Considering the times, it's no surprise that one of the girls in our sorority pair turns aside from the gentler love and chooses instead to marry a man. The erotic journey of Laura and Beth serves as a guide for many a young woman walking a different path. Category: Mainstream

5	The Story of O [Secure Mobipocket] by Pauline Reage		Dominique Aury's world-famous and world-class gift to her lover was first published by Olympia, won a prize, and sent the police after publisher Maurice Girodias. This version derives from the second, improved translation, dubbed "The Wisdom of the Lash" in an effort to fool the cops. Not imported into the U.S. until the early '60s, the fate of O was debated extensively in courts, until Olympia was finally declared sole owner of all English rights, a fact pirates have had some trouble dealing wi... more info>> Category: Erotica	26 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor

6	A Tale of Satisfied Desire [Secure Mobipocket] by Pierre Angelique		George Bataille's notorious The Story of the Eye was first published (anoynmously) in 1928. Olympia picked up this work, and brought out their translation, curiously choosing to rename it A Tale of Satisfied Desire. This book is the shocking account of erotica's darkest side, with excesses and extremes, obession and the most forbidden of passions Category: Erotica

7	Fanny Hill, or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure [Secure Mobipocket] by John Cleland		Among the most banned books of all time, Cleland's 18th Century novel got the author in trouble with many of the authorities. However, the quality of writing was so impressive, Cleland managed to wrangle a pension from one of the authority figures present at his trial (though he would then write far tamer stuff). Olympia first published this book in 1954, it is the complete and unexpurgate version. Category: Erotica	7 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor

8	Houses of Joy [Secure Mobipocket] by Wu Wu Ming		One of the funniest moments in the history of Olympia came when the South African poet Sinclair Beiles entered publisher Maurice Girodias' office with sheets of paper adorned by Chinese characters. Telling Girodias a story about youth spent among missionaries in China, Beiles indicated his reams of parchment, and stated that they were unique erotic writings from that nation, and all he'd need to translate this phenomenal document would be some money each week for a new chapter....

9	Justine, or Good Conduct Well Chastised [Secure Mobipocket] by Marquis de Sade		De Sade's erotic classic, this is the tale of sister Justine, orphaned, cast out, constantly trying to be good and do good, and in no way getting rewarded for her virtue. A work that was first banned by no less than Napoleon himself. Category: Erotica	4 Reader Ratings: Great Good OK Poor

10	The Sexual Life of Robinson Crusoe [Secure Mobipocket] by Humphrey Richardson		An account that delves into what poor Crusoe must have been during those long years he stayed alone on his island. The Sexual Life of Robinson Crusoe is a well-written guide to onanism, beastiality, homosexuality, memory and the power of fantasy. Author Gall was a close friend of Olympia Press founder Maurice Girodias, as evidenced by the celebratory preface. This work is a comic classic that could hardly have been produced anywhere else.
