i slept until 3;30 in the afternoon today. while this seems like a fantastical thing to do it was in fact horrible and now i know i will not be able to get to sleep until at least 7 tomorrow morning.
an excerpt:
“His library contained over 8,000 volumes, can you imagine that?” the boy said as he leaned in towards Russel. Jonah was growing increasingly more uncomfortable and angry. He was covered in mud and grasses.
“Do you think he had any erotica in there?” Jonah asked moving towards Russel and the man. The man was rubbing at the silk between his slashes in his sleeves. Maybe he was showing off his the expensive textiles.
“Excuse me?” the man said. He seemed a little surprised or shocked, or maybe he was disgusted.
“Oh come on. Men can love sex books just as much as any piece of intellectual bullshit. Do you think he had any dirty books in there or do you think it was purely business?” Jonah said. He was brash. He had nothing left to lose. Russel wasn’t even looking at him, but the man was. He was looking into Jonah’s eyes and suddenly the surprise and shock melted into a half grin. This was enticing.
“I don’t think Sraffa had any erotica. I’ve been to Trinity College and I’ve seen samples from his library. He was all business,” he said coyly.
“That’s sad. I have, what I consider to be a pretty decent library, though not 8,000 volumes it's not bad, and I do have erotica in mine. It’s hidden between things like The Satanic Verses and The Awakening,” Jonah said with a smile.
“I would consider The Awakening to be erotica, personally,” the man said.
