Onto some proper filth. The next book on my high-brow reading list is The Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl. This book was recently made into a TV series starring Billie Piper as Belle de Jour, a high class call girl. I believe she originally wrote a blog and this book is an extension of those stories.

The book itself is pretty explicit, talking about all sorts of kinky sexual practices and anonymous sex. However, it also talks about her day-to-day life and her hunt for a boyfriend. Belle isn't a poor woman who is working as a prostitute to fund a drug habit, she is an intelligent university educated woman who sees it as a profession. I can imagine this would raise a few eyebrows for people who believe that all prostitutes are coerced into engaging in these sorts of behaviours and that it is degrading to women, regardless of how high class they are or not and whether they have chosen to do this sort of work.

It was a fascinating read, parts of it were laugh-out-loud funny but be careful who you recommend it to. I am not sure that Granny will be too thrilled with the explicit descriptions of rimming!
