I Love Books And Reading
Recently took up again the reading of La Bas by Joris-Karl Huysmans, it is a great thing to balance out the arduous task of tackling the Guilty/Not Guilty section of Kierkegaard's Stages on Life's Way, which by saying it is arduous is meant to illuminate one of it's strengths. It requires much, and gives much. A literature i tremble at. Huysmans is more exotic, he was of the decadent school, like what Baudelaire is a symbol for.
La Bas (in english The Damned) was in Fassbinder's top 10 books, and is about a guy who is trying to write a book about Gilles de Rais, the person Bluebeard is based on. It is dark and Catholic. Beautifully written with some disturbing content. Check it out if interested. *_*
Aug 8 - it enhances the reading to look up some things mentioned in the text, for example on page 47 Breughel's The Wise and Foolish Virgins" is described seen here
