“selfish, sensual, socially useless"

en passant
Anonymous:  I noticed you hate The Borgia Bride. But on the Amazon there are plenty of comments and they said it's the best Borgia book and amazing reading. So why do you hate this book when other people love it?

Amazon is full of real people, and a lot of them are fucking idiots.
