Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue by Marquis de Sade
4.0
It's hard to figure out exactly what de Sade is up to. My take was that he's writing a parody of philosophical thought at the time, and I felt that if anything it's some sort of condemnation of people who extrapolate "natural" behavior from sources like Hobbes. The back of the dust jacket says that no such stuff is going on and de Sade is just a freaky freako.
I guess that might be a valid critique, but then I think about some of the movies I've watched(Old Boy, Gozu, etc)...and if he's a freaky freako, at least he's a smart and eloquent one.
