Just finished The Sparrow and its sequel Children of God. I'm probably going to read Lafforgue's Moralités Légendaires next. I'll use this as an opportunity to learn a T.S. Eliot poem by heart alongside it. Did you know Eliot was fond of Laforgue? A Spanish friend of mine told me this recently.

Of course I plan to ask her what's she's reading later.

If I were a supernormally good looking man I would devote my life to waging psychic warfare against roasties. First I would swear never to have sex or indulge in lustful behaviours, and to live a life of ascetic self-betterment. Then I would go on dates with roasties as much as possible, using the awesome power of my physical appearance to string them along for months or even years, while forcing them to learn philosophy and cultivate a virtuous soul as well if they wanted any chance of sleeping with me and locking me down as their partner. I would never surrender to my baser instincts, always refusing to see or treat them as sexual objects, completely denying them the catharsis of being desired qua physically attractive. I would take any woman who "dates" me in this way as far as long as she wants or is able to go, on the path of initiation into life's higher mysteries. I would always forgive them for losing the path and relapsing into their roastie lifestyle, but I would remain unflinching in my refusal to regard them carnally.

Almost all the roasties would sooner or later give up on me and tell their social media roastie friends that I am weird and maybe gay. But a rare few roasties would feel something stirring deep inside them, something long slumbering, but existing at a higher level than the animal satisfaction of being treated like a powerful man's possession could ever reach. These roasties would eventually surpass me on the path to true wisdom, and go off into the world to help liberate all roasties everywhere. They would in fact be roasties no longer but a new and holy order of pioneers in the sacred domain of the spirit.

I was going to complain and then I remembered you'd just have it replaced with more overwrought gore if anyone did think it wasn't for children. I still don't understand the logic by which they choose books for teenagers, but it seems the more atrocities the better is the main rubric. I read somewhere the guy who played Harry Potter did a run of it. I'm not even going to search for what that did for the fanfiction writing menopausal fans of the HP series but I'm sure they'll be teaching that to teenagers soon too.
