No erotic novels please

LOTR is one of the most (homo)erotic novels ever.

The books that I've read and re-read the most are:
The Handmaid's Tale
Brave New World
Clockwork Orange
1984
1985
Mixed in with lots of Foucault like The Birth of the Clinic and The History of sixuality VI&II, as I did my dissertation on methods of control in dystopian literature.

As for non fiction (and non Foucault) books, I always like going back to read
The Buried Soul: How Humans Invented Death
Word Freak
Anything by Nancy Friday
