Is the works of Marquis de Sade hard to read?

No good translation, not really worth it.

Only if you think reading about twelve year old boy semen being used as coffee creamer is hard.

They're readable, but unpleasant. My friend did a research project on him so she read a few of his works and she just couldn't finish them. She's no squeamish or timid or prudish but they were just vulgar beyond reason, according to her.

Being vulgar was the reason he wrote them.

You have to understand people on /lit/ (and I say this with love) but people on /lit/ will shit on literally anything, in terms of difficulty or unpleasantness of the text. For /lit/ nothing is challenging and nothing is shocking, and if you find something difficult or unpleasant, you are babby.

I started reading 120 Days of Sodom but couldn't finish it. Eventually it just becomes painfully boring.
