Currently Reading: Fanny Hill: or, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, by John Cleland
Actually a re-read for me. And I swear every time I pick this up it's far filthier than I'd expected. So if you're looking for some ye olde smut or to learn a few (or many) new euphemisms, this book is for you.
(Also, keep in mind, it's from 1749. So yes, it absolutely has some "problems" by a modern standard. Which I wouldn't otherwise feel the need to say, but this is the piss on the poor website, after all...)
