I discovered her when i was very young,i secretly saw the movie Henry&June when i was 10,and despite or because of my parents not allowing me to watch movies like that,it made it more appealing so i did.It had a huge impact on me,i never forgot ceirtan scenes(no,not those),and many years later i was reading an article about her in ELLE,and i immediatley knew who she was,and so i rediscovered that movie and saw it again.Anyone else seen it here?The actress that played her was absoloutely Brilliant.

Anyway she was a very inspirational woman,to be that free with yourself and pushing it to another level still intrigues me.She had extremely beautiful face shape and just exuded grace all of which was not lost even when she was describing more graphic life expiriences.Thank you for this thread.

I just recently read about her for the first time. I was reading "Pleasures" by Eric Jerome Dickey and the main character has a fascination/admiration for Anais Nin.

I highlighted a quote from her in the book (which adorefaith also mentioned)
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
For some reason, this quote has stuck with me. I feel like it hits home in some strange way.

I'd love to read about her. What would you guys suggest for a beginner? I've never read any of her materials, what should I start with?
 
You should begin with A Spy in the House of Love

And of course, there is her Diaries...:flower:
