Already own it. Not only am I a huge Gaiman fan, but it's one of my all-time favorite novels.

He's just a very interesting person. I read
Misfortunes of Virtue and I thought his style was delightfully perverse, and then once I started reading about him it became increasingly obvious that his libertine lifestyle coupled with his particular lack of routine story elements and structure was up my alley. Something like that. If you go to Tilted Literature and read the rough draft of my story "V.C. - Venereal Curse", you might know why I might be attracted to his kind of writing.
Also,
120 Days of Sodom probably isn't the best work for someone without a looser mindset. I'd suggest something more along the lines of
Misfortunes of Virtue or
Philosophy in the Bedroom.
And snowy, I'm very careful with translations. I pretty much read every possible review of every edition before buying.
