I've not read everything, but I'd say that if you don't like that, you won't like anything of his. He's a pretty superlative writer, but something like Eroticism is far more cold and academic than a lot of people enjoy. I'd go with Madame Edwarda/ My Mother/ the Dead Man collection for my personal favourite (but he's someone I'd very much like to learn French for so I could read everything).
