Come read Joris-Karl Huysmans' A rebours, variously translated as "Again Nature," "Against the Grain," etc., with the /lit/ Discord!
>Its narrative concentrates almost entirely on its principal character and is mostly a catalogue of the tastes and inner life of Jean des Esseintes, an eccentric, reclusive aesthete and antihero who loathes 19th-century bourgeois society and tries to retreat into an ideal artistic world of his own creation.
You might know it (without knowing it) from Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray as the "Yellow Book" that precipitated Dorian's downfall, or as the obsession of the narrator in Houlllebecque's Submission, or a number of other literary works. Though little read today, A rebours' holds immense importance in influencing a myriad of writers.

La-Bas!
For the bells are all cracked, and the daemons are no longer in need of blood, but are instead now feasting on the nests of crows.
Horror has expired, awe has been negated, and the unknown triumphs as the next novelty of technology!
Fear your contentment! And do remember the peaceful voiding after you've cummed once again in your socks, gentleman. I haven't climaxed once this week without the thought God watching me edge into oblivion....
