WHY?! WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO WITH THESE JEZEBELS? All I want to do is come here for an asexual experience that will exercise my brain but I am constantly titillated by these vixens with their prodigious hips and provocative figures. Can I never satiate this thirst, will I ever know the touch of a woman and enter between her loins? Will my seed ever drip from her moistened hole?

Life is a constant hell. No wonder I resent women too.

Also Voltaire is a hack and Candide is shit even for a satire.

came here for this hahahahah

Read some De Sade user.

Perfect.

Maupassant ?

Diderot
Montesquieu
Montaigne
Rabelais

Jacques the Fatalist is great as well

>beautiful woman smiles at me
>after a few seconds I manage to contort my face in a crude parody of a smile in return
>turn 180 degrees and walk away

>oh shit it's one of those social moments wait I got this

Buy some Molière my man. It's drama, but very good.
And Le Rouge et Le Noir by Stendahl.
Not to forget Emile Zola also, whose tomb is in the Pantheon were Voltaire's is.
Gustave Flaubert is, of course, standard French classic alongside Victor Hugo. But they're well-known for a reason I suppose.
Les Enfants Terribles by Jean Cocteau - I have a funny feeling you'll like this one.
