Reading Leon Bloy's Exegesis of Commonplaces and laughing out loud. A madman of a writer jokingly critiques the everyday sayings of the Bourgeois. Sometimes from the perspective of the Catholic Absolute, sometimes from the perspective of a grumpy old guy with a chronic hole in his pocket.

Note: It is probably only funny if you are a bit weird and enjoy reading Nietzsche.
