I just finished reading Steppenwolf, and the bit where Pablo wants a threesome with Harry and Maria weirded me out, especially when Pablo kissed Harry's eyelids but the bit where Hermine talks about Maria's tongue kissing, from first hand experience, was pretty cool

Heinrich Schenker's Harmony.

...I guess, though sex exists naturally unlike a series of tones, that ourselves as sexual beings do not exist until a level of repetition has occurred. Continuing this analogy, sex remains interesting so long as it is relevant; that is the situations it is introduced in show new facets of sex. Or that people having sex are interesting in so much as the sex reveals new facets of them. There are inherent contradictions that the artist must find compromise with? I'm not going to try to match up anymore concepts.

The Plague by Camus.

Doesn't make me feel anything in regards to sex. I haven't even thought about sex whilst reading this book. Now that I'm correlating sex with the plot, however, I can only think about someone infected with the plague. So, now I'm just fearful of having intercourse with someone who has that. My general feeling about sex is pretty much ... the same.

I can safely say that if books were able to take virginities, Steppenwolf would've been my first.

Anyway, reading Great Gatsby now. It makes me think that sex should be romantic and passionate and between two people who really, truly love each other.

The general tone of his novels. I think he does diminishing of affect or whatever it's called very well, even if I feel he has been beating a dead horse somewhat with it.
