Georges Bataille

[SEXXYNESS]

I would love to hear any and all comments on his works before I really dive in. I think they seem interesting enough but I haven't heard from others and would love to hear some feedback from those of you at lit.

If you aren't familiar with his writing, here is a list of some of his work.

Erotism : Death and Sensuality
The Tears of Eros
Story of the Eye

Please comment on any or all of these pieces of work. It's sort of a new discovery for me, one that I'm surprised I haven't found before.

I sense reading for fun overcoming my recent influx of massive amounts of legal reading.

Aren't you supposed to be really HKBJ-class stupid? You're breaking character and it's not amusing.

Hey Lavy

 

[SEXXYNESS]

So sorry. I forgot my role in life was to cater to your every fancy.

No kidding. That post under that username just ripped my head off its hinges.

I hate posting as SEXXYNESS but couldn't get in touch with Marxist today to give me back the password. It's the weekend. I'm going to be up all night, once again. And I thought I'd take a little fun break.

Damn, I want my password. I'll be gone again all week doing shit.

I'll probably be around next weekend. I may become more of a weekend poster.

You have a hinge-head? Goddamn, I bet that's convenient for throwing up and if you get to be a-chokin' on a yardbird bone.

 

[SEXXYNESS]

God-fucking-damnit-all to hell. I want my question answered. Pronto!!!!!!

I'm impatient, I need instant reaction.

WAH!

No one read Bataille?

Yep. And other things as well.

Go to Dennys

 

[SEXXYNESS]

Oh c'mon. Someone must have a clue about his writing.

Thanks, Mr. Thoreau.

I feel as if I came this much *small finger motion* closer to Walden.

Haven't you figured out that most of the dimbulbs on this board consider the National Enquirer high literature? Myself, I consider Tom Clancy high literature.

 

[SEXXYNESS]

Don't knock National Enquirer. It's good shit.

I always like to read how the alien love child of Barbara Stanwyck and Ewan Macgregor had sex with the illegitimate son of Oprah and Falwell on an Atlantis resort.

[SEXXYNESS]

Yeah. Doesn't that make you want to fuck Stedman?

Purdy please? Anyone?

Dear Sexxy,

You are the model of restraint. You'll get your password back when you want it. However, this will go on your personal record.

Weaker in will than a wine-powered Canadian housewife.






Fuckin' sad.

lavy,
i read the story of the eye last summer. it's fucking weird. just bizzare. it's like some horrific car accident that you can't tear yourself away from, but in a good way.
after reading that one work i'm not really inclined to read anything more by him. i don't think i really understood the point of the book. or maybe it was pointless and i didn't understand that. anyway, i would say bataille is an interesting read, a nice break from whatever you're reading for class i'm sure, but not the kind of thing i read for pleasure.

 

[SEXXYNESS]

Thanks lexie.

Dear Marxy baby -

You and me both, kiddo. Did you finish all those good reads?


Signed,
Oh Weak One

 

[Dillinger]

You mean SEXXYNESS is actually a regular poster? Damn - I'm the last to ever find out these things.

Would someone please put me on the "need to fucking know" list? *lol*

Next you'll be telling me that Gnufi is really not who he claims to be...

 

[Rambling Rose]

Lavy, call me tonight and we can talk all you want about The Story of the Eye. I own it, have read it, and have opinions on it.

 

[SEXXYNESS]

Rose,

Send me your goddamned phone number. It's saved on my cellphone which is out of juice and I fucked up my charger so I can't get access to it.
