What the hell did I just read?! Man what the teacher said it was going to be an interesting read he wasn't joking. Never have I read more sex in a novel that was odd. Especially the last couple of chapters where the narrator was stuck being a slave and a lady was trying to have sex with him and they kept doing all of this weird stuff to him because he couldn't hold an erection. Goodness. Why would a teacher give this to us for reading?! It was only have the time that I actually understood what was going on in this book and I'm not sure if that's because half of the book is missing or if it's just that insane. I'm still kinda freaked out about this book and I finished reading it three hours ago.

I wasn't sure what to make of this. The edition I read (and can't find on goodreads) was only 60 pages long, so I think it's just a section of the whole text. It hasn't inspired me to read the rest.

it’s so sad when you read something just because you want it to be over
