So here goes - The story of O really gave us all plenty to discuss so what about "The Image" - its a really really erotic novel in my opinion, very close in importance to "O" - totally cold but charged with sexuality. How do the rest of you rate it?
What other published "classic" (used carefully! lol) novels do any of you rate really highly and why?
How about "Castle of Communion" by Bernard Noel, "House of Pain" by Pan Pantziarka or "The Cult of Pain" (sometimes called "The Callipygians" I think?) by Edmond Dumoulin?

Somehow or another, I missed this whole thread. I haven't read a lot of BDSM fiction. Most of my reading has been how-tos and non-fiction.

However, I have read some fantasy/fiction stories relating to the subject. Some favorites of mine include the entire Gor series by John Norman (I said FANTASY), Belinda, Exit to Eden and the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice.

I guess I have not really read any of the "classics", but like I said, I was reading more for knowledge than fantasy.
