Potential book reading series? (Patreon)

This is a book which I have had for ages but never got around to reading it. It is "The Apple" by Michael Faber.

It's a follow on from his "The Crimson Petal and the White" (he also wrote Under The Skin - which is excellent) but "The Apple" doesn't spoil the first book as they are stand alone short stories. 

Now, this is quite a 'rude' book in a sense that it explores Victorian sexuality, prostitution and the more seedy parts of life, and there are well some "risqué" moments, like in the main book. But as these will be Patron only videos, I dont mind going 'to that place' - if you get what I'm saying! 

I chose this book as all of my other books are well over 500 pages each and I wanted to be able to finish the book and not leave it half read! These are short stories which I could read each in one sitting so ideal for me!

I would love to know your thoughts on this and if you have any recommendations for other books then please let me know!
