“I don’t know why we are here, but I’m pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.”

“I don’t identify with the boys; and don’t need to, though some readers always look for identification, which may or may not occur; it is a mistaken approach to any art I think. I read also for dis-identification. They are not I, and I encounter other ideas and worlds.”

Taking a quick break before I finish this

TAKE IT BACK!!! NO PLEASE STOP IM ACTUALLY SICK I CANT! Not poor George wtf omg i actually have no words! It’s not funny anymore o don’t like this anymore!

“He climbed in the bed and was almost asleep when he thought of his diary. He hadn’t written in it for weeks. Once he thought it would empty him out. But writing was no help. It just kept his feelings from getting lost. “Still, why not?””

Less violence and body gore than The Sluts but still disgusting and disturbing!

I feel for George Miles in such a weird way like I want to protect him but also ask him “what the fuck?”

I don’t think I could ever recommend this book to someone but it’s written well

“What could I offer them? Here’s a list. Nervous, wealthy, at home, half-asleep, cute, confused… That’s as far as I get. Oh, contrived and talkative. I guess those words also go in there.”

David really hitting pretty close to home with this one

I still don’t know how ready I am for another Dennis Cooper book but here we go!

George miles deserves so much and I wish I could give him a little hug! And Bill really gives off closeted gay who’s homophobic and red pilled despite being “punk”
