narcasseRegarding this non-rant: I retract all my leniency. Your English is just not as good as you think it is.

lesliaisons1782 has begun with the preamble to the novel. Les Liaisons Dangereuses in untranslated French is going to be interesting since I’ve previously read the Penguin Classics translation. There’s also some small similarity of sentiment to American Psycho which is an equally charming read.
“In the end it all came down to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.”
- Choderlos de Laclos “Les Liaisons Dangereuse”
“Everything I have been taught: principles, distinctions, choices, morals, compromises, knowledge, unity, prayer - all of it was wrong, without any final purpose. All it came down to was: die or adapt.”
- Bret Easton Ellis “American Psycho”
It’s such a shame that the American Psycho film just seemed to be a cut and paste of random scenes from the novel. It was funny enough but lost much of the overall impact really.
