Having recently discovered Anais Nin's
Delta of Venus and
Little Birds, I'm looking for classy, somewhat highbrow, non-amateur, published erotic literature along the same lines.

Recently I've been stricken with a definite yen to read novels involving swashbuckling and pirates, but then I realized I didn't know of any! (Except maybe for
The Princess Bride.) I would very much love to read a fun, adventurous swashbuckling novel much in the same tack as the
Monkey Island games and the
Pirates of the Caribbean movies, something that promises to be a thrilling, guilty pleasure. Any recommendations?

Adventure Game Recommendations: I really miss playing games I could lose myself into for hours on end, and I would like to find some new games similar to those I enjoyed years ago. But I stopped playing a long while back so I have no idea what's been on the market since and how to look for such games now. I have always loved the LucasFilm/LucasArts titles but they seem to have stopped producing pretty point-click adventures after
Grim Fandango. Other favorites were Windham Classics adventures like
Below the Root or
Alice in Wonderland, Cinemaware action-adventures like
It Came from the Desert,
The King of Chicago and
Sinbad, and detective games like
Killed Until Dead and
Intrigue! Are there any comparable modern counterparts? I am not into RPGs or text MUDs or shooters. Please tell me there are still games out there involving great stories, detailed scenes, and good puzzle-play!
