Les particules élémentaires
Les particules élémentaires | Michel Houellebecq
Michel, chercheur en biologie rigoureusement déterministe, incapable d'aimer, gère le déclin de sa sexualité en se consacrant au travail, à son Monoprix et aux tranquilisants. Une année sabbatique donne à ses découvertes un tour qui bouleversera la face du monde. Bruno, de son côté, s'acharne en une quête désespérée du plaisir sexuel. Un séjour au Lieu du Changement, camping post-soixante-huitard tendance New Age, changera-t-il sa vie ? Un soir, une inconnue à la bouche hardie lui fait entrevoir la possibilité pratique du bonheur. Par leur parcours familial et sentimental chaotique, les deux demi-frères illustrent de manière exemplaire la société d'aujourd'hui et la quête complexe de l'amour vrai.

Hmmm, I really struggled with this book. On the one hand it was really well-written,on the other hand I just felt like I wasn‘t the target audience for this book. I am however glad that I finished the book, because the last two pages of the book turned out to be the best pages. 😀#1001books #reading1001

“Menneskeheden skulle forsvinde; menneskeheden skulle skabe en ny ikke-kønnet og udødelig art, hvor individualiteten, adskillelsen og tilblivelsen var overståede stadier.â€

Halfway through this one. It‘s definitely well written but it doesn‘t really appeal to me that much.

Bruno is #abadboyforlove ...well anything that approximates his distorted idea of love at least. A loveless novel with the id and ego brothers positioned at the decaying center.

LeahBergen That Wordsworth set! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ 7y
PagesOfKate @LeahBergen They've just been passed on to me, my mum inherited the set from her aunt. Unfortunately the third book is missing but it's still a beautiful collection. For once my mum's hoarding tendencies have paid off! 7y

I just gave this 3 stars over on GR but that's sort of the opposite of how I felt about this book. I can't decide whether I loved it or hated it. 🤔🤔🤔 I'm giving it a pick because the writing is brilliant even if the subject matter was pretty hard to relate to. Controversial, pornographic, amusing and sad.
