I gave The 120 Days of Sodom a try. Yuck. kHz1000 Send a noteboard - 31/03/2012 03:45:55 PM
De Beauvoir wrote an essay about Sade which I think might be an interesting read. The book was deeply creepy.

I also gave up on Swann's Way and Sodom and Gomorrah because they were boring as hell. Although I absolutely loved some of the sprawling sentences. Like the ones about homosexuality. Odd little pieces of queer art.

The Brothers Karamazov is one that I inted to finish some day. I also have this book called "Vedic alternative to Darwin's Theory" that I happen to own but don't plan on reading soon.
