The 55 Most Erotic Books You Will Ever Read

"Snuggle up with one of these good, good sex books spanning different decades of sexual exploration. No one needs to know what you do under those covers, but these books all know how to get your heart racing. This list includes a genderqueer retelling of Peter Pan and a gender-swapped update of Pretty Woman. There are pulpy novels that are straight-up smut (Oh, hello, Anne Rice!) and novels that take an intellectual look at female sexuality. Some will get you off, while others, well, won't. Alissa Nutting's Tampa isn't precisely erotica, but it will definitely make you wonder why Lolita is."
