What a newfag...Are you 12 or what ?
Isaac Phillips
I read "Justine ou les Malheurs de la vertu" and really enjoyed it; it has a lot of original ideas. Then I bought "Les 120 journées de Sodome" expecting it to explore further those ideas. It was really such a disappointment...
Honestly this book is just a list of depraved sexual acts.
Jaxson Turner
This.
Jace Walker
no im not 12, just new to french lit. only been seriously reading a few years, now
Evan Bennett
Journey is a good book, if you like that nihilistic French style of telling pointless stories with beautiful imagery and long passages polemicizing humanity.
Which I happen to be quite a fan of.
If you haven't read The Stranger or Nausea those are both shorter and a little less pessimistic.
Though Celine has quite a way with words that neither sartre or camus seem to come close to.
Jack Campbell
I'm fine with the pessimism. I read The Stranger and I found the first half of the book kinda shit, but absolutely loved the second half.
I'm gonna order a copy of journey and start it as soon as I can.
