“Dear Friend, "Theres is no taboo" De Sade. What can I say .... I was curious. Leaving the other (ahem) shocking parts of the book behind, we see a philosophy that is totally different from anything that we have been taught and lived. A philosophy without morals and boundaries. It is no great suprised that De Sade was put into a mental institution in that time with France being a devout Catholic etc. What really interested me is how morality, religion etc can be set aside with the temptation of our baseness, as Freud would have said our "ID" that part of our personality that is seeking personal bliss in any form. It goes without saying that this book is as radical as you can get. You must have strong personality and inner faith before you read this one it may sway any other person. ”

“Judging a book by its cover isnt necessarily a bad thing .

And any author that is controversial enough to be put in jail is worth the read. ”
