And while the early "Twilight" novels were decidedly chaste (at first, anyway), writers of fan fiction will tell you there's a huge desire for erotic novels.
The only two non-erotic novels in the mass market fiction chart were Lee Child's latest Jack Reacher thriller, The Affair, and John Grisham's The Litigators.
These and other works exemplify the expressive qualities of Pre-Raphaelite art brought to their zenith in Burne-Jones's Arthurian paintings and tapestries: the dreamlike sense of dim recollections viewed behind closed eyes, of erotic yearning conveyed through powerful silence.
