_Erotism: Death & Sensuality_ by Georges Bataille (translated by Mary Dalwood) is about the psychology of sexuality and how it relates to man's views on death. Bataille discusses the coexistence of taboos and transgressions, religion and sensuality, and the works of the Marquis de Sade. Although I don't agree with quite a lot of what Bataille has to say, I found his treatment of each subject to be interesting and thought-provoking. Recommended.
