Adult literature

[Farseer]

Not me, joost. I guess it's like heavy metal...I don't avoid it so much as just don't choose it, I suppose is the best way to put it.

I wouldn't call myself a prude though...and think I would read pretty much anything given it had a plot that interested me and characters I could immerse myself in (easy to say when that has not been tried and tested within this genre by the way! ). I guess it depends on the context, and possibly the level of 'darkness' involved?

As you have pointed out with the Nick Scipio stuff, there could be plenty of other elements to draw a reader in (not that I have read those books) so it would depend on those other elements as well. For me, they would have to, by far, outweigh the inclusion of erotic elements, and the erotic elements would, in every case, have to be there to support the plot...not just be there for the sake of 'being there' and providing a moment.

As a woman, the strength of the female characters and their roles would also be important to me...they'd need to have a mind! If someone were to recommend an adult literature novel based on all of that, I would give it a try, I think.

Painting myself into a corner, possibly the reason why I don't go looking for it is because sex is everywhere, in just about every medium I can think of, and usually pops up whenever I don't want to see it or hear it? I'd rather read about dragons!
