    “Meat with a first and last name tastes best!” - from Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica

    Not a book for most people, hell sometimes I wish I hadn’t read it. But if you want to get into a fiction book on the subject it’s pretty fucked up. I’ll probably live rent free in my head for the rest of my life…

      That book was a great read. I really enjoyed it, the themes of capitalist consumerism and greed were neatly wrapped up in the madness of cannibalism.

      The ending where >!the guy ends up killing the woman that became too human in his eyes!< was a great twist. Would definitely recommend that book to anyone who enjoys reading.
