A che serve un libro se non puoi portartelo dietro come difesa teorica contro la noia?

Via d’uscita, Edward St Aubyn

Mi sono reso conto di averle attribuito una ridda di riflessioni tormentose e appassionate che non si sognerebbe mai di coltivare. Conosce perfettamente i sistemi per vivere nel presente, passando da un'esplosione di piacere all'altra. Forse l'intensità  sessuale che dimostra deriva proprio dalla superficialità, e non dalla profonda coscienza a che ho proiettato su di lei, o forse quella superficialità è profonda in sé e per sé, derivando dalla consapevolezza che tutto è superficie. Non sapevo cosa pensare, ma avevo bisogno di essere nel suo letto per scoprire se potevo ritrovare una forma di libertà nel tradimento dei suoi abbracci.

Have you read any of these? 

They’re beautifully written autobiographical novels.

There was a series made out of them with Benedict Cumberbatch in it, which you may have seen.

Which is good too but the books should be read first. (Albeit the series was quite a close adaptation of the material ^.)
