MY FAVOURITE BOOKS

Everything by Asimov

He wrote hundreds of books, and before I die, I’m going to read every damn one of them. Then I’ll die, making it all for naught.

Justine: The Misfortunes of Virtue

A masterpiece nobody knows about because it’s deSade. It ought to be taught in high school, the lesson being that you sure as hell better do what makes you happy, or else you’re a gullible rube headed for an unendurably sad, internally-contradictory life.

For example, pious teenage Justine seeks refuge from the crude, carnal world in a monastery. But she is forced to become a sex slave for the supposedly-chaste Men of God, who can finally stop buggering each other and subject her to countless perversions as she is raped three ways at the same time: brutally, gleefully, and repeatedly.

Lucky girl.
