(Language: English)
  
An excellent book, one of the "unable-to-put-it-down" kind, but that's understandable taken that it's only 70something pages long. It lacks action but it shows the psyche and what else do I need...?

(Language: English)
Well, it was Victorian, so I had to buy it and read it, but it was just a mixture of everything Victorian. And what was the crush of the doctor on Florence Nightingale...? Sickening I tell you.

(Language: English)
Well, I saw the movie first. Then I had to read the book, but before reading this, I had to read the prequel. But this is a great novel. Short but grand - focused on the most important things in life: libido&thanathos. A must read for David Kepesh fans. And what an ending!

(Language: English)
An enormous book - labyrintine would be a word that can describe it best. Just like Mixtli's travells I was wading through its pages and found an excellent ending to this book. A good read.

(Language: English)
Ah, the flea and the Hermaphrodite all the other mysterious characters and happenings within this horrendous fable that shed a luminant spotlight on the literatural wanderings of my youth. How could I be the man that I am now without the guidance of Comte Lautreamont from the Southern Hemisphere.

(Language: English)
Another one of my teenage readings and this left a lasting impression on my sexuality I guess. A must read for the wanna-be surrealist!

(Language: English)
A great graphic novel as graphic novels go, but it is still very far away from literature. Some of the characters were well worked out, some were just there.

(Language: English)
My first graphic novel and I was overwhelmed by it. Excellent, morbid, intricate and deep. Wanna read it again.

(Language: English)
Another slow starter by Faulks. I was on the verge of putting it down, but held on and was pleasantly surprised! A great read all in all. Engleby would hate this review though...

(Language: English)
The first book that I read in Japan and how prophetic a read. A man locking himself up in his own mind... Well, myself too, kind of locked up here in Japan.
