Platform

I've just finished reading Platform by Michel Houllebecq, which was excellent. Maybe not quite as good as Atomised (which I haven't actually finished yet) but still very thought provoking, provocative and full of sex scenes which are actually well-written and 'erotic'. I was reading it on the tube the other day and saw that a girl in the same carriage was also reading it - we gave one another a kind of sly, knowing look. It's that kind of book. Destined to become a cult classic, I think.

I quite liked Atomised - I think I like Houellebecq in spite of himself. I hadn't realized he's got a new one in translation. O happy day!
