I just re-read the novel, and I forced myself to read every page, rather than breezing through the Jules Segal and Lucy bits. I had not really been aware of the heavy and totally irrelevent and lurid sexual content of the novel.
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not offended by the content, but it just seems so mis-placed in this great novel. Was it just a device to increase sales?
I first read the novel as a 13 year old schoolgirl, and I remember being profoundly shocked by the novel, the first 'adult' book I had read.
How do other women feel about this? I'm thirteen right now. NO I'M NOT KIDDING. Godfather rocks!

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is userfriendly. It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.

But who knows...kids grow up quickly these days. Oh really? One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest included stuff about whores and sluts. Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Sartre, and other Nihilists had stuff about cruel stuff--take Sartre's NO EXIT for example... I've read them all voluntarily...and I am to reread them all when I'm 15... I've seen the goriest movies--Starship Troopers, the most violent movies--Platoon, the most profane movies--Scarface, the most sexual movies--American Pie, the movie with most adult situations--Midnight Cowboy, the movie with most nudity--American Beauty. Anyone wanna challenge that?

Anyone wanna challenge that? You crazy guy. Do you sometimes not wash your hands after going to the toilet too because that would be just too mental.

Anyone wanna challenge that? Well maybe its just me but I didnt think American Beauty really had that much nudity. Definitely not the movie with the "most nudity."
