Prettier Than Napoleon

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

I need a book like this.

It has everything I want in a novel, such as sex, drugs, ultraviolence, and depravity, and it has very few of the things I hate, such as lyrical evocations, penetrating insights, families, wistful epiphanies, or spiritual descriptions of landscapes that name-check plant species.
