"Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure" has been widely banned and censored since its first publication in 1749, and was only made legal to sell in Great Britain and the United States in 1963. Despite this suppression, the novel has survived the test of time and brought notoriety to its author, John Cleland, because of his lush and witty prose style. The story of Fanny Hill, an orphaned teenage girl who takes to prostitution in order to survive, relies not on vulgarity or obscene vernacular, but on clever innuendoes, metaphors, and similes to deliver the erotic details. Fanny Hill's rise to fortune and happiness is due entirely to her sexual prowess - a satiric attack on the morality of eighteenth century society, when aristocratic women sought husbands for financial advancement. This novel will entertain and intrigue readers today, transporting them into a world where love is currency, and pleasure is profit.

3.0 Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure [John Cleland]
text Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure [John Cleland]
The audiobook of this one I read is available for free at LibriVox. This book wasn't quite as bad as I expected it to be, but I'm still stuck on the idea that this book was published in the 1700s. I can see why it's a banned book, but I have read more graphic books than this. Although that isn'...

I'm talking about an erotic novel here, so maybe don't read my review if you tend to get offended by open and frank discussion about sexual acts. Just warning you in advance :)Okay, firstly, this is porn. Just porn. Not a great literary achievement, not something that will sit snug in your mind with...

4.0 Fanny Hill: Or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure
text Fanny Hill: Or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure
I read this when I was 12 years old. My mom had it hidden in the top of her closet, which is where she put all the books I wasn't supposed to read. So, of course, every chance I got I would get into her closet and read anything I found on the top shelf! I might not have understood it all, but it ...

Wife's away on an overnight business trip in Florida, so I felt it was appropriate to engage in that time-honored activity for husbands left to their own devices: porn.Update: halfway through, it's okay so far. It's not exactly hot, but it's not unacceptably un-hot, either. It can be fairly entert...
