Where do I start with him?
>>
>>25585547
You don't. There's nothing of value there.
>>
>>25585547
If you are an anglophone, read the following in this order:
The Marquise de Gange
The Crimes of Love
The Misfortunes of Virtue and Other Early Tales
Justine
Juliette

If you are a frog, go balls deep.
>>
>>25585547
read the female libertine novels first (justine and juliette) then philosophy in the bedroom, then the 120 days of sodom if you really want to because it's somewhat repetitive imo - you could just watch the pasolini film instead

Start with Philosophy.
Then whatever peaks your interest.

>>25585547
He was such a chad. Reading him is true enlightenment

>>25585547
philosophy of the boudoir if you are actually interested in his thoughts
120 days for the memes
first version of justine for something the least bit readable
>>25585558
this anon gets it

ça veut rien dire ptn

>>25585547
his writings on atheism are really insightful. the perverted stuff is just ragebait for normies.
>>
Just read Juliette, the full unabridged definite 6 volume edition. It's peak, might as well just start with that. Then if you crave more, as you should, read Justine (again, the full version) as a prequel.
>>
>>25585547
Sharpie in pooper.

Simone de Beauvoir's essay.
or Neil Schaeffer's biographical essay.

TRUKE
>>
>>25585547
Terrible writer. If you want a quick laugh though read a couple of the more grotesque parts of 120 days, but no more, because you’ll realise how bad, and boring he is.
>>
>>25586288
Justine gets repetitive and overly graphic at some point but it's a genuinely fun picaresque novel for the most part
>>
>>25585547
A true revolutionary. He will forever stand above the rest.
>>
>>25585547
THE FOLLOWING HIGH-BROW LITERATURE:

1. DEATH NOTE (MANGA)

READETH YE 'HxH' IF YOU PREFERETH, BE BLESSED, AND MULTIPLY
