Just bought this, partly out of interest; partly because it was so cheap at my Op Shop. What do you think of it, /lit/?

I don't think anyone on /lit/ has read it.
I once sold my mother's copy on eBay because I was embarrassed that she was reading it
>>9401628
Was it "used", anon? Did she "bend the spine", as it were?
>>9401627
I opened it in calibre and searched for dirty words, and I also watched the movie with my girl, which got me laidit was vanilla tho
>>9401623
Its trash, and not even that dirty. Unless you have an overweight housewife with a buttplug/pigtail on all 4s I cant even get hard. Thanks tube culture.

I know that feel

This book is the same thing, and women are still women.

>just a piece of shit finding excuses though.
Undoubtedly, but it's quite possible that it spurred his psychopathy onward.
People dismiss claims of bad culture creating bad people as only correlative. Ask those same people if a piece of art has ever enriched their lives. They will respond that it has. Ask them if that effect is in any way measurable. The answer, of course, is that it is not. Why then, is it nonsense, to claim that art can have a degenererate effect on people's character?

I read a lot of literary fiction that is depressing as fuck, as most /lit/core is, and I have definitely experienced anxiety and depression during books like 2666 as a commonly read instance.

The pornography he was watching was like hardcore violent stuff and snuff if I recall.
He probably became more addicted to the "holy shit chopping up a woman's head seems so hot" rather than "yeah i'd like to tie her up and spank her"
Of course there is the chance he was also exaggerating his claims for sympathy though.

I'm not sure what your argument is but yes, the cultural input that you receive has influence on your development just like everything else from your environment but only as far as your genetic predisposition allows it. Thinking it's only one or the other is a very basic nature vs. nurture false dichotomy.
