I read Venus in Furs after I learned where the word masochism comes from, and that sent me down this path of reading a bunch of banned books to see what the big deal was. The only books I think should be banned are ones which are poorly written, but there are a lot of those.
Great book! I also read some De Sade after Venus. He's a great author too but boy howdy, his concepts are intense.
