101 Days in Sodom by Marquis DeSade
If I had not read that I would never have imagined the fun you can have with poo and a hand drill.

Have you seen Salo the Pasolini film?
That was based on this.

I found de Sade unutterably dull...

Not so much erotic literature as.......
A shopping list of bestiality, rape, sodomy and various other genteel pastimes.

...and he ripped off Brett Easton Ellis!

I've never made it all the way through more than once.
I have to switch off at the shit banquet.

@Enzyme
Yep, it's a double whammy as the exam is at 1 but at 12 my best friend is getting married and I was meant to be bridesmaid. Gash eh? But I am wearing my bridesmaid sash from the Hen Do into the wedding. It's not the same but it'll help. Then I'm hotfooting it back home for the evening do.
@Boss Keloid - it gets much much worse after that. I studied Pasolini as part of my Italian course at uni so we had to watch it. When you know why he made the film it's a bit easier but it's still fairly rank viewing.

Small correction
It's 120 Days of Sodom.

I started reading, expecting to be titillated, thrilled, excited, perhaps eve repulsed and horrified.

No such luck. After the first 20-odd days have gone by, it just repeats itself over and over again, extolling the virtues of a lovely steaming turn, freshly-laid from the nether regions of a 10 year-old child directly onto the dinner plate. Over and over again.

So I skipped to the end, and caught the opposite end of the spectrum. The most extreme kinds of torture imaginable, yet described in such a clinical and dry manner as to render them fearless.

I wasn't impressed by the book.

Mr Fossil - you are right.
...the last 19 days are shite though.

By the way - love your dancing.

@ LVP
We watched the film for Neorealist Cinema in first year... or were told we didn't have to if we were weak of stomach. Naaaasty.
