Started this one right after reading "Pryor Convictions". That would be the autobiography of Richard Pryor. Good read.

Huh... I don't think I'd ever think of a band like Of Montreal mentioning that story, how interesting. I actually found out about the author from a band too, a French Black Metal band called Deathspell Omega makes some references to his work in a few of their songs. After I did a little bit of research I decided to check it out. It can't be any more grotesque then Exquisite Corpse.

So far it's... well here's the marketing blurb from the back.

A classic of pornographic literature, Story of the Eye finds the parallels in Sade and Nietzsche and in the investigations of contemporary psychology; it also forecasts Bataille's own theories of ecstasy, death and transgression which he developed in later work."
I prefer his theoretical work, but that book is entertaining at least.

You don't have a library? That's where I get almost all my books.

About to start Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-​Five.
