Ah... also thanks in advance!

Try a bookstore or your local library. Try to not be a sad sack of shit. Try to make a thread worthwhile.

She's not a savant. She's an enthusiastic, well-marketed amateur.

If she played in an orchestra, people would fucking laugh in her face.

I'd recommend "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Other American Stories" which I read it a good few years back; There's a couple of decent short stories tagged on at the end, one of which is kind of a biopoic, from what I can recall...

The only other HST I've read is Hell's Angels, I think that's also pretty well renowned - I thought it was decent but not as good as Fear & Loathing.

None of that qualifies me to pass comment on your idea of tackling all his works in order.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is my favorite book of his, absolutely one of the funniest books I've ever read. Hell's Angels is good, the Rum Diary is good, and I've heard Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail is another good one.

>Are all his works decent
decent? i suppose, but i wouldn't read the ones that were merely decent unless you become a super fan. his best stuff is excellent.

>should I just from the first published to the last in chronological order?
that would make the Rum Diary first and that is merely decent, so no.

i'd rec The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved to start, which is both great and short~ish. this will give you an idea of...

The good advice that you just didn't take.

Checkout Robert Spitzer, I saw him give a talk on how "euthanasia" creates a statist duty to die, I'm sure he has something on how killing to make it easier to get a diploma is a mistake.

Then why would you want to read books pro life? If you don't understand the pro choice viewpoint you should read up on that.

I think it's bad to kill babies.

As a fellow psychotic, I enjoyed The Divided Self by R.D. Laing. Unrelated to mental health books, I also enjoyed reading Joseph Campbell because I've found that "metaphorizing" my delusions is a good way of removing their destructiveness.

>>7589296
OP here, thanks for the suggestions. Speaking of metamorphizing, The Metamorphosis is pretty much exactly how I feel sometimes, it's the only book I've read so far that's really resonated with my illness.

There's always a theme or a motif, isn't there? Mine is dragons.

It's OK. Mid-tier Ishiguro. Read "Remains of the Day" if you want something good.

>>7589128
I feel like the Japanese capture that feeling very well. I'd never heard of this particular author before, so I'll have to take a look.

>>7589133
This.

Reposting to umpteenth time:

The Unconsoled > Remains of the Day = Buried Giant > Never Let Me Go > Good Nocturnes > When We Were Orphans > Bad Nocturnes

will add Pale View of Hills and Artist of the Floating world when I finally get around to reading them soontm.

I don't know how.

Fuck off you degenerate faggot

Just read the Bible instead.

>concerning yourself with YA fiction

Nah, mildly amusing. All his other books are the same though, more the harry potter of lit. But that's all rbooks tier, so I guess you're right...

>>7588987
please kill yourself for being such a faggot

>You have a lovely flowing prose

Should have been "a lovely writing style"

Also it gets repeated twice.

Sage.

Except it doesn't.

C&P gives less achievement points though.

>>7588940
what did you think of it

>>7588952

It was really intense during Raskolnikov's planning, I got way into the thinking like him which doesn't happen to often when I read but it was also like 1 am when I started it. I don't really know how to feel, I didn't understand the dream sequence where the horse get beaten, but if you read that part it's kind of like an expression of the whole story. Plus the bad guy ends up living happily in the end, all around 10/10 will not put through a paper shredder.

>How much one have to read to be able to write something good?
Somewhat more than you've read, evidently.

>>7588926
bump for interest

no it's right and the only people who claim otherwise are just trying to justify/make excuses for their own lack of reading

You dumb nigger, you were supposed to read this one

What about it? Is it anything as fucked up as the womyns choice section on xhamster?

Yep it's called procrastination.

The way to beat it is discipline, having achievable short-term goals, removing distractions, and prioritising your life based on what you want to achieve and not being a weak-minded fuck.

Questions?

Should I kill myself?

Just write man, even if it's autistic fanfiction. Don't be afraid to get your ideas dirty.
