Two weeks later, I've managed to finish two books from the five books mentioned in this post. "The Professor"... and "Lust", which I just finished an hour ago. It was surprisingly easy to read. Feels like I can like short stories again (almost!). I mean... I guess I like the writing style. I was worried at first, since the theme is about lust, but just as the subtitle says, they were "Tales of Craving and Desire". Some made me laugh, some of the endings surprised me ("WHAT?!", "WTF", "OMG").. there were one or two that I feel neutral to. No explicit erm.. sexy times (lol), as least not like what you see in romance books, but they are still there, implied or briefly mentioned. It is for mature readers, mind you.
