Proves my point, Bill. I differentiate between pornography and erotica. Erotica can be very well written (or taped or filmed), porn ain't (although it might be flashy).

As for non-re-reads: how about Bret Harte's stories? And I find most of Jack London waaaay to hairy-chested (I make an exception for The Sea Wolf, but not for White Fang).

Conan Doyle's historical novels....

The "White Gold Wielder" fantasy series -- I'm sorry you have leprosy....

Ivanhoe -- talk about dumb folks!
