I'm leaving out books already mentioned...here some books
that may not be as well known:
Penal Colony - Franz Kafka
-Anything by Kafka is great like Metamorphsis, Castle, etc. but I
especially like his shorter stories.
Salome - Oscar Wilde
-Play about John the Baptist and how he lost his head from a
decadent point of view.
The Sailor Who Fell from Grace from the Sea - Yukio Mishima
-Made into a film years ago, the book paints a more vivid and
emotional picture.
Like Water for Chocolate - Laura Esquivel
-Story of lust, love and how food can be sensual
Trial - Tom Hayden
-After reading this book, you will never look at the bumper
sticker, "America, Love It or Leave It" the same.
Against The Grain (A Rebours) - J. K. Huysmans
-A novel written in the 19th century about decadence, excess
and new sensations. Became the bible for the decadence.
