Against Nature [book]

A BOOK ABOUT THE LAST OF A NOBLE HOUSE OF FRANCE WHO DECIDES HE HATES MODERN SOCIETY BUT THAT ALSO HUMANKIND HAS DEFEATED NATURE AND SO HE BUYS A HOUSE AND JUST SORT OF WANDERS AROUND ALONE DOING STUFF THAT DOESN'T WORK AND MAKING SOCIAL COMMENTARY. IT'S A VERY GOOD BOOK, ALTHOUGH I AM NOT NEARLY SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW ABOUT ALL THE VARIOUS CONTEMPORARY 1800S FRENCH SOCIAL ISSUES HE IS ROASTING. LIKE HE JUST BUYS A TURTLE THEN GLUES A BUNCH OF GEMS TO IT THEN IT DIES AND THAT IS JUST A CHAPTER. HE DECIDES HE ONLY WANTS TO EAT VIA ENEMA, OR THAT INSTEAD OF GOING TO VISIT THE SEA HE CAN SIT IN A TUB OF SALT WATER AND LOOK AT SOME ROPES TO GET THE EQUIVALENT EXPERIENCE. IT'S NOT EVEN DIRECTLY WRITTEN AS MUCH OF A COMEDY, JUST HIM ERNESTLY TRYING OUT HIS VARIOUS IDEAS, THEM ALL FAILING AND HIM MOVING ON TO THE NEXT ONE. ALL HE REALLY WANTS IS TO DATE A WOMAN AS STRONG AS HERCULES SO SHE COULD CRUSH HIM TO JELLY, AND HONESTLY, SAME. 

PS. HAVE YOU EVER READ THE PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GRAY? HOW BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS WITH THE PAINTING THE ACTUAL FIRST THING THAT MAKES HIM TURN ALL WICKED IS READING "A POISONOUS FRENCH BOOK". THIS IS THAT BOOK, AND IT RULES.
