not a bad quote. the reason why people dont enjoy being in rain is because they are self conscious of looking stupid. to enjoy being in the rain comes across as "childish". and we human beings are embarrassed of genuine emotions, we are embarrassed of letting go and actually letting our feelings guide us and we say its the kind of thing that only children do. and the only way we can really enjoy this very natural aspect of the world is in closed bathrooms

In a bathtub I consciously choose to enter wanter in a controlled temperature for a specific reason, while not wearing any clothes.
Rain is inconvenient, it's cold (and will thus get me ill) and it has the bad habit of being a problem when wearing clothes.
I appreciate rain, but what you said has nothing to do with the actual reason people don't like rain.

Getting rained on will not make you sick unless you spend hours in the cold soaking wet. I love walking home in the rain, refreshing, better than any shower or bath, if I am going somewhere other than home I will have the raincoat or umbrella but I don't bother with them to go home. I can dry off and put on fresh clothes when I get home.

I've read some novels of him and it was disappointing. It's always "me, me, me", if I want to be informed of an alcoholic's shitty life I'll just ask the first hobo in town.
There's nothing remarkable or noticeable in what I've read, it didn't contributed to anything by reading his works. Just remember his story about stalking a girl, accomplishin her rape fantasy and being arrested then released for that.

At least nowadays an author that claim to be inspired by his work is a redflag for me, I can avoid the waste of time it's going to be (fuck you V. Despente).
