Drunk Book Club: Exit To Eden

After lo these many months, we've finally returned to the well of Anne Rice novels--sorry, "Anne Rampling." Exit to Eden is part of Rice's weird walkabout with literary and erotic novels before her return to vampires, and it wins the coveted "probably less actively dangerous as a damagingly inaccurate text about BDSM than 50 Shades of Grey" award almost solely because it's much harder to emulate. It is definitely a novel about how kinksters just need that healing monogamy, though.
