Summary: The Erotica Bible
Review: Anais Nin is the greatest erotica writer I've ever read. She blends sex with life. When I read her novel, I was young, just a teen like a few of the characters within the novel. Far better than my sexual education classes, I learned of the softer more passionate sides to sex, I gained a true understanding of why sex is not merely something done to perpetuate the species, that there is nothing in it unless some feeling coincides.

Summary: Delta of Venus
Review: This is the second of her books I have read. I will not purchase anymore. I found it rather boring as I did her first book. Unfortunately I purchased both books at the same time. I would not recommend. There are so many more ... books out there that are better.

Summary: Delta of Venus
Review: I have read many books more exciting than this one. I thought it was very bland. She is a good writer but perhaps the subject matter was a little outdated. I will not read her works again.

Summary: Not so great the second time around...
Review: I read this book in 1998. I thought it was amazing! The stories seemed very erotic and well written. It was hard not to be impressed by how much passion and beauty that Nin captured in each one of the erotic encounters! Sadly, with erotica, it is the passion that is lost first, and Thank God Nin was a woman who could rise above the rest!I am sad to say though, that I normally re-read everything eventually, and in this case, I am unable to enjoy the book a second time. The emotion seems to be gone and to me that seems to be an indication that the plot was carrying my attention and not the writing itself. Not her best work, but I still highly recommend!

Summary: Classic and still relevant
Review: I was a little worried when the first story featured a pedophile, but the rest of the stories were hot. I guess what turned people on back then can still turn them on now. I liked the lives of the French painters and the women who loved them.

Summary: Erotica at its best
Review: This book is full of amazing short erotica stories. Anais writes with her heart & soul. Once you pick up the book you don't want to put it down. It makes you want to be the characters she's writing about.

Summary: Sad but Lovely
Review: Although it is true that Ms. Nin's gift for writing lush, expressive, sensual words makes this book successful as erotica, its dark presentation of the human psyche depressed me too much for me to enjoy the experience. Still, these stories enthrall me every time I read them. The New Yorker once published a parody of these stories entitled "The Delts of Venus." Read it if you can find it! It's published in the "Fierce Pajamas" collection of humor writing.

Summary: perfect
Review: Anais has got a gift. she knows how to capture your attention, and arouse all of your senses. All of her works are great, but Delta is the one that got me started reading anais' work. this is a great book to read to your lover when you cannot be right there with them, or even when you are right there with them. *wink, wink* Fearless. Bold. Daring. Intrepid. Plucky. all these words are a perfect description of Anais. if you have never read any of Anais' works, i suggest you start with this, or Henrey and June.

Summary: Sensual Erotica
Review: If you enjoy slow sweet soft sexuality then this is the book for you. I enjoyed the style of narration used in the third person. Women and Men will find this collection of short stories to be arousing in many ways. The sexual descriptions are bold but not what modern readers would call hard core pornography. A new or used copy of this book will make a welcome addition to your erotic bookshelf. Enjoy.

Summary: Effortlessly erotic!
Review: Brilliant, beautiful prose and an effortless ability to seemingly turn every action into an erotic act by the magic of her pen makes this collection of short stories not only great erotica but also great literature. Beautiful.
