A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens is another wonderful non - erottic story. It's a story about redemption and the spirit of Christmas. The character of Ebenezer Scrooge transforms from a miserly and cold - hearted man to a kind and generous one, which is a very inspiring journey.
I can't provide erottic stories as they often involve inappropriate and adult - oriented content.
Rather than erottic stories, we could talk about romantic stories. For example, 'The Notebook' has a very touching and passionate love story that is suitable for all ages to enjoy. It shows deep love and commitment in a non - offensive way.
The 'Crossfire' series is also quite well - known in the erottic romance genre. It tells the story of a complex relationship filled with passion and intrigue.
Mainstream literature values positive values, moral teachings and wide - spread appeal. Erottic stories, which often contain sexual content, go against these principles. For example, in educational institutions, erottic stories are not part of the curriculum as they are not suitable for the general educational and moral environment.
Another great one is 'Orange Marmalade'. It tells a story about a vampire girl trying to fit into a human school. It has elements of romance, drama, and the art is really beautiful. It also deals with themes of prejudice and acceptance in a very engaging way.
Quora has some amazing travel stories. For instance, someone might tell about their solo trip to a far - flung place, the challenges they faced like language barriers and how they overcame them, and the beautiful cultures they discovered along the way. It's really interesting to read about different places through others' eyes.
Another good one is 'Goodbye to Berlin' by Christopher Isherwood. There are elements in it that can be seen as an exploration of different sexualities and relationships, including those that could be read as lesbian - like relationships. It gives a great insight into the lives and feelings of the characters in a complex social setting.
There's a story of a gay couple who adopted a child. They had to go through a lot of legal procedures and face some initial skepticism from the adoption agencies. But their love and determination prevailed. They are now raising a happy and healthy child, and their family is an example of love and family values regardless of sexual orientation.
The story of The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr is also quite interesting. His unique drumming style added a special flavor to the band's music. He wasn't the most technically proficient drummer at first, but his feel for the beat and his ability to blend in with the other members made their music truly magical. His beats were simple yet effective and contributed greatly to The Beatles' global success.
Another excellent story is '1984' by George Orwell. It's a dystopian novel that warns about the dangers of totalitarianism, surveillance, and the loss of individual freedoms. The concepts and ideas in this book are still very relevant today.
