"Like Water for Chocolate" by Laura Esquivel.

u/[deleted] · 9 pointsr/sex

Wow, this is a terrible advice. Usuallyporn is about what pleases a man, not a women!
The best way to learn about pleasing her is reading. Most of the time the ways to please a women need to be understood and not watched (a lot of the fun bits are inside so you can't really see how to stimulate them).
You can learn about cupping, how to make her squirt (there is controversy about what comes out but in the end it is one of the most potent orgasms), the fact that you are small makes it ideal for anal, get toys to help you out (combine penetration with clitoral stimulation and you are golden) and explore other kinks (pegging usually gives the man a lot of insight about how it feels to be penetrated and it improves how they end up doing it).
Edit: regarding your endurance you can get a flesh light or a tenga egg to massage your glans until you learn how to prolong stimuli, practice edging and deny yourself cumming, it will be har in the beginning and it might lead you to cum without you even touching yourself but in the end you will have a huge improvement.

Edit2: I am going to try to put some info together:

Linden Hills by Gloria Naylor?

Here's a student review that may help you remember.

u/HigHog · 6 pointsr/AskWomen

Sure thing! These are some of my favourite female fantasy authors, and the books I'd recommend starting with:

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

Priestess Of The White by Trudi Canavan

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

Alanna: The First Adventure by Tamora Pierce (She has a series of trilogies with different heroines set in chronological order in the same world. The first trilogy may be my least favourite, but it is the first and it's still pretty good so...)

Spindle's End and Deerskin by Robin McKinley (Can't decide which one to recommend first!)

Daughter of the Empire by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts (Actually written by a man and a woman, but one of my favourite trilogies ever.)

The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel (Not certain this is fantasy but it's incredibly interesting to imagine!)

If you like YA stuff there are several female authors I'd recommend in that category as well, but it may not be your cup of tea.

u/RueGman · 6 pointsr/selfpublish

Here's the link. I created the cover myself. Not the artistic sort, so I tried to make it as simple but eye-catching without being too garish.

If she's into contemporary romance, Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie is still one of my all time favorites!

u/boundbylife · 4 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Read Vox by Christina Dalcher. It’s like the Handmaiden 2018, an America in which women are only allowed to speak 100 words a day.

Vox

u/micultra8 · 3 pointsr/AskMen

I'm going to give you the same book recommendation I gave OP. Your body is your body, unless you work out for 2 hours a day (which is always an option), your stomach may always be slightly curved. I had huge body image issues, particularly about my non-flat stomach, and read a book that really helped me work past a lot of that: Bet Me by Jennifer Cruisie. It's chic-lit, so if you aren't into that, cool, but it's a short, enjoyable read, with a "pleasantly plump" lead female character. Quite healing, in my opinion.

u/blueskyx1 · 3 pointsr/russian

Just thought of something - you could always pick up an inexpensive copy of the English translation if you were very serious about this and have them side by side :)

/u/Ealantair same for you

u/secaedelcielo · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

In 8th grade, my Venezuelan friend had to read "Ifigenia", which is a really, really long letter which is actually a story. I had to read it, and I personally didn't like it any, but you may find it to be interesting.

I have been reading La casa de los espíritus and have loved every second of it.

Hello! It's nearly Thanksgiving...that warm, fuzzy time of year when I love to curl up inside where it's warm. My guilty pleasure is watching Hallmark movies from about now until the new year. I've just written a Hallmark-style, feel good romance novel. If anyone is interested in checking it out, it's free on Amazon today, November 27, 2019. I hope you enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Ava

Ambitious and creative, Ava Parker has visions of transforming Sweetlove, North Dakota into a vacation paradise. One problem: she's an outsider. Can she win over the residents of Sweetlove and earn her workaholic father's approval, or will she always struggle to fit in?

​

Nick

Hard-working and stubborn, Nick Anderson hates change. He's been fighting to save his parents' beloved pumpkin patch for years - and it's cost him dearly. Can he open his mind - and his heart - to new possibilities?

​

This is a standalone, Hallmark-style romance novel with no cliffhangers. There is no cheating, no foul language, and the book has a "happily ever after" ending.

I haven't read this myself but I've heard Vox by Christina Dalcher compared to The Handmaid's Tale.

Go no further than Harlequin books.

I recently saw this one while at work. Lol. A lot of them had really cheesy titles like that that made them scream "rape" fantasy.

If you're interested in this type of discussion (regarding upper-class black neighborhoods and whatnot), I would recommend Gloria Naylor's works, particularly Linden Hills.

Some of my favorite books:

The Alchemist

I Wrote This For You (Poetry Book)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wrote-This-You-Just-Words/dp/1771680040/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453332739&sr=8-1&keywords=i+wrote+this+for+you


Edit: Oops, you said only one, well, I guess I will just pick the second one. I choose it because it was originally written in Spanish, and the language was so beautiful I forced myself to translate it to English without reading the English version. However, eventually I read the English version and the story still transcends language. Truly beautiful and magical.

The Stephanie Plum series from Janet Evanovich fits those criteria. I'm not the biggest fan, but I know lots of people love 'em. Starts with One for the Money.

Clown Girl by Monica Drake

"Clown Girl lives in Baloneytown, a seedy neighborhood where drugs, balloon animals, and even rubber chickens contribute to the local currency. Against a backdrop of petty crime, she struggles to live her dreams, calling on cultural masters Charlie Chaplin, Kafka, and da Vinci for inspiration. In an effort to support herself and her layabout performance-artist boyfriend, Clown Girl finds herself unwittingly transformed into a "corporate clown," trapping herself in a cycle of meaningless, high-paid gigs that veer dangerously close to prostitution. Monica Drake has created a novel that riffs on the high comedy of early film stars — most notably Chaplin and W. C. Fields — to raise questions of class, gender, economics, and prejudice. Resisting easy classification, this debut novel blends the bizarre, the humorous, and the gritty with stunning skill."

The Book of Speculation: A Novel by Erika Swyler

I was waaaay off

u/readbeam · 1 pointr/suggestmeabook

Quite welcome! Nora Roberts is I think technically considered romance (suspense thriller? romantic thriller?), but they're not the bodice ripping Harlequin type -- they're what we used to read before "paranormal ass-kicking female lead urban fantasy romances" were a thing. Similar authors are Sandra Brown and Catherine Coulter; if you google any of the three and "FBI" or "police officer" you can find books by them with a mystery bent. Sorry I can't recommend a specific book but they're kind of popcorn reading and it's been a while. But maybe these will lead your group to an appreciation for mysteries in general that you can nurture. Especially since a lot of cozies have romances!

Just to add to that last edit from yesterday, I'm thinking of picking up Twenties Girl by Kinsella -- it looks pretty adorable and the reviews are great.

Also, the one I read by Evanovich was One for the Money. I thought it was pretty decent -- kind of like Grafton but breezier. I should really finish that series one of these days to see if it gets deeper.

I've never been big on romances either (I'm a fellow mystery and fantasy buff) but my sister would occasionally leave them lying around and you know how it is!

Haven't read the english version, but you should really really read (and get her) this one: House of the Fortunate Buddhas
