l'érotisme - georges bataille
clair de terre - andré breton
combien de solitudes - véronique kanor
l'anomalie - hervé le tellier

Eroticism by Bataille is a great read. Ibsen is good, although Strindberg is more interesting to me. Strindberg’s plays are great. Also, The scripts by Ingmar Bergman is very well written.
