Tropic Of Cancer
A Classics, Literary Fiction, Adult Fiction book. I made up my mind that I would hold onto nothing, that I would expect nothing. Henry Miller, Tropic...
No punches are pulled in Henry Miller's most famous work. Still pretty rough going for even our jaded sensibilities, but Tropic of Cancer is an unforgettable novel of self-confession.

When you read this, you see immediately how much modern writers owe Miller.

Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer For a hundred years or more the world, our world, has been dying. And not one man, in these last hundred years or so, has been crazy enough to put a bomb up the asshole of creation and set it off. The world is rotting away, dying piecemeal. But it needs the coup de grace, it needs to be blown to smithereens. Not one of us is intact, and yet we have in us all the continents and the seas between the continents and the birds of the air. We are going to put it down the evolution of this world which has died but which has not been buried. Henry Miller,...

Sorry; the last paragraph today gets cut off a few sentences early!)The CCLaP 100: In which I read for the first time a hundred so-called... One of this book's themes is sex. So, if you are squeamish about sex on books, or about sex itself, then don't read this review. More importantly, DON'T read this book. My review is definitely lame compared to its sexual content.But not reading the book is like being in the USA without tasting bagel in one of their international airports.... The only thing that saved this book from a 1 star rating is the occasional stellar paragraph such as this:"For some reason or other man looks for the miracle, and to accomplish it he will wade through blood. He will debauch himself with ideas, he will reduce himself to a shadow if for only one second of his life he can close his eyes...
