De Sade's books are the most horrific ever written. After three or four pages, one gives up. No wonder he was confined to the asylum. They are a mad man's vision of the psyche and his notion of sexual sadism is not what I can accept. It is libertinism pushed to the ultimate extreme.

I think I made it to about page 10 of 100 Nights before becoming so physically ill I had to throw the thing in the trash, take a shower, brush my teeth, and I still felt filthy.

That man was beyond perverted. He was a monster.

De Sade is interesting, in that he shows what a depraved mind with little restraint can do. Gives the lie to anyone who believes man is basically good.
