What a load of pretentious waffling drivel. OK I get the fact it was all a bit racy for it's time with all the sex talk and all that. But I don't get why anyone would consider it as being any good. Should have stayed banned because it's awful.

I can't quite put my love for these book in to words. The problem is I read these when I was quite naive, as well as, recently where I don't quite feel as naive (in other words, I just can't see my naivette yet because I am trapped in it).
