I think I found the whole book to read online, and I'm still waiting for answers on the IMDb board. So if you've read it, can you tell me if this is the full book? I don't think it's illegal to post just the url: www.globusz.com/ebooks/120Days/00000010.htm

Yeah, that's it. Hard to read, but the expressions are funny.
"Frig the prick"

Thanks! Did de Sade really use that? Or was it edited? Because it sure seems hilarious.

Yes, I think that's the full book...and as for "legality", I haven't checked up but I think there's a fair chance de Sade's work is old enough to be considered in the public domain...there's a couple of websites where you can legally d/l in various eBook formats "classic" literature - Project Gutenberg ( www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) and I think the other is the University of Virginia, but I can't remember - they might have them on there, and if so it's definitely public domain. The other thing is, I don't think by anyone's terms de Sade comes under Proboard's conservatism against porn/offensive/adult material, it's classic 18th and 19th century literature, fer chrissakes, at best it's "erotica". Oh, and about the "frig the prick"... I'd imagine that's just the translation from the original French, so there's no telling how "close" it is exactly to the language de Sade used...might be worth shelling out for a more modern translation, if you're interested. I don't speak French but have a friend who does, and when we were discussing Le Comte de Monte Cristo recently it was surprisingly evident that there were some subtle themes, notably sexual ones, that the prudish Victorian translation I'd been reading hadn't picked up on by either the design or the omission of the translator.

I read it online, so Im guessing its the full thing. More brutal violence then you can shake a stick rolled in glue and then glass at!
