Books The History of Screwing

Posted by Charles Mudede on Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 11:58 AM

What a lovely book cover:

If it only it were for volume one, which features the most idiotic (and famous) of all rural idiots:

One day in 1867, a farm hand from the village of Lapcourt, who was somewhat simple-minded, employed here then there, depending on the season, living hand-to-mouth from a little charity or in exchange for the worst sort of labor, sleeping in barns and stables, was turned in to the authorities. At the border of a field, he had obtained a few caresses from a little girl, just as he had done before and seen done by the village urchins round about him; for, at the edge of the wood, or in the ditch by the road leading to Saint-Nicolas, they would play the familiar game called 'curdled milk.' So he was pointed out by the girl's parents to the mayor of the village, reported by the mayor to the gendarmes, led by the gendarmes to the judge, who indicted him and turned him over first to a doctor, then to two other experts who not only wrote their report but also had it published.

Reason, the universal, speaks with a clear voice: "If you want to play 'curdled milk,' you must play this game with adults, you village idiot."

Mr Mudede, your writing really is the worst sort. Convoluted and self-congratulatory, it has to be read twice to even decipher what the hell you are talking about. Not because it is complex and multi-layered, but because it is pseudo-philosophical garbage that says nothing with many words. Stop it.
