Justine is my number 1 book when I want a good laugh. The philosophy is meh, but all the sexual shit is written so fucking funny.
>Elizabeth is the first to be offered to my libertinage.
“Place her,” says Delbene, “in such a way she can kiss your dear little mouth while frigging you, and so that you’ll receive a general stimulation, I’ll take care of your asshole throughout the episode. Flavie dear, will you take Elizabeth’s place. I recommend this exquisite creature’s bubs to you,” the Abbess adds, “suck them while she tickles you: in view of Volmar’s tastes, you’d best run your tongue into her anus while, bending over you, she gives you the benefit of what her mouth can do…. I’ll adjust myself so as to be able to suck both her ass and cunt while she renders you those same services. And finally, as for myself — speak, my beloved, I am here to do your bidding.”
Warmed by the sight of what had been done for Volmar: “I’d love to embugger you,” said I, “with this instrument.”
“Then do so, my darling, do whatever your heart desires,” was Delbene’s humble reply; she presented her buttocks. “There,” said she, “mark it well. And spare it not.”
“Willingly!” I cried, sodomizing my instructress.
If you want even more laughs, read some Rétif.
Fucking memetins.

Philosophie dans le boudoir is a good summation of his philosophy coupled with plenty of penetration.

The final 1797 version La Nouvelle Justine has never been published in English translation, although it was published in French in the permissive conditions of the late 1960s, as part of two rival limited-editions of the definitive collected works of de Sade: Jean-Jacques Pauvert's Oeuvres completes de Sade (1968, 30 volumes) and Cercle du Livre Precieux's Oeuvres completes du Marquis de Sade: editions definitive (1967, 16 volumes).
Start with Justine. The narrative is actually good, and I like his philosophy. It's like Voltaire's Candide, but with sex and shit
Why are you all speaking of sade's philosophy? it's literally just erotic prose

it literally isn't
You don't.
Anthony Gramuglia rated it did not like it
I am not a prude. I am not the type of person who will hesitate from delving into works others might find dark. One of my favorite novels is the Exorcist, commonly regarded as one of the most terrifying books ever written. I have pictures on the push-pin board in front of me while I write this containing images from Silent Hill, Audition, and other really gruesome stuff...of course, next to that I have pictures from It's a Wonderful Life and Aladdin, but that's not the point! Point is, I have no issue with things people might think are a little unorthodox.
This is not unorthodox. This is sadist porn.
Let me elaborate. The term "torture porn" has been applied to many works people dismiss as just gory or too violent. This is literal pornography in its most literal sense. The work itself exists to demonstrate violence for violence's sake, with the plot--if you can call it a plot--existing just to bring the audience to the next act of sexual sadism. These acts of sadism are grotesque, to the point where, if I were to bring up these acts in front of polite company, they'd put me away.
However, that's not why this book is rotten. After all, it's supposed to be horrifying. It's supposed to be repugnant. That's what I thought when I read this book--after seeing the Pier Pasolini film based on said book. The movie is often regarded as the most disturbing thing many people have ever seen, but the film is merciful to its audience compared to the book. One could argue that seeing these acts is far worse than reading about them, since one can just turn their mind off and blindly glance over the grotesque details. However, the film does something that the book does not.
It realizes its antagonists are evil.
The book's most disturbing quality isn't that it shows disturbing material for the sake of it so much as that it does it AND ACTS LIKE IT'S A GOOD THING. I initially thought it was a satire of some sort, but then realized, after looking into de Sade's other work, this couldn't be the case. This was just a list of the man's sexual fantasies, each one more screwed up than the last. The loving detail put into this book is enough to make someone cry on the inside.
And yet, upon reading this book, it cannot be forgotten. It's magnetizing, and remains buried inside of your head for YEARS to come. I've thankfully used it as mild inspiration for my writing. Whenever I need to hate one of my characters, I just think of how much I hate the villains in this book. The desired effect comes shortly
I suggest you start with John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester if you want to get into Libertine literature. He's much easier to read and from the same tradition as Sade.
"why is Sade modern and Rochester unmodern, despite the overwhelming amount of similarities they share? Why is Sade empowering and Rochester an oppressor? Are there different kinds of libertine subversion that would make one better than the other? Better? Maybe not but the usefulness of Sade or, the lack thereof in Rochester, to French Theory scholars and their forebearers is one worth exploring. Both infamous libertines, both materialists, both susceptible to being read as republican, feminist, atheist and libertarian thinkers, both writers who break the wall separating them from their fictions, Rochester and Sade have much in common and can be said to belong to the same libertine european subcultural phenomenon, yet Sade offers in hislanguage and ideas a modernity Rochester cannot"

Satyr on Charles II is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever read. I've got a book of Restoration verse and quite a few (though not this one) of his pieces are featured.

I love de Sade. Start with his Crimes of Love series. Then proceed with his several short stories and plays. Then go with Justine and end it with 120 days of Sodom

Nice, thanks for the suggestion
