>es, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual, fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had...

check out Marcel Schwob,

Neat, I downloaded a few of his short stories and will check him out

I read Lost in the Funhouse recently (and posted my thoughts in a thread a few days ago).

In my opinion, based mainly on the content of LitF and the accompanying author's notes, Barth thought he was more clever than he really was.
The titular story was excellent, but for Barth to say all the stories in the collection were 'meant to be taken together' is a load of bull.
Title and Life Story were very weak stories in my opinion.
Night-Sea Journey was very clever, though. And the rest were good. Though Two Reflections and Glossolalia shouldn't...

Is this even a book

>>7579324
This is a good question. We will discuss this question when we have read the book in next week's thread. But just to give you a taste (I have read a little ahead) there are many surprises in this book. Even some explorers have been eaten trying to understand the Bats. There is also interesting political problems (many of the politics do not exist anymore. The islands are all independent) I think they are interesting because they are not around anymore.

I mean...it's literature, so I guess it holds?

>>7579065
bump

>>7579065
Yes

>>7579065
You need to read it first in order to grasp Marx, so yes.

Have you read Hegel yet? You'll need him, too.

I just started this. What do you think?

It's a pretty dank book if you catch my drift ;)

>>7578964
That you should finish it. It's really good.

It made me feel like i could be a writer because the prose is so fucking straight forward and dry.

>>7578929

It's bretty gud

>>7578929
reminds me of all the times i chased some harpy around like a pathetic puppy

i would have escorted them to their brown lovers

My little sister likes those books and I once caught her browsing a warrior cats forum.

How do I stop her from becoming a total fucking pleb?
Or is it too late already?

I read one or two of those books when I was 12, my favorite cat would be a big grey one, might have been associated with the moon but it's likely I'm mixing things up.

I've read the first five pages several times. I really want to get into it, but it hasn't clicked yet.

I don't blame you, it definitely has a reputation.

The Holy Bible (then the Apocrypha, then the Nag Hammadi Library)

>>7578788
Go with Hugo, Tolstoy or Delillo. Manson & Nixon is a masterpiece though

Of those, Les Mis is overrated, Anne Karenina and War and Peace are obviously good, and Don Quixote will go surprisingly quickly if you read the Grossman translation. Not sure of the Eco but I've heard lots of praise.

The rest are total horseshit, including Pynchon. Pynchon was interesting in the fucking 60s. What made it interesting is now in every 4chan shitpost you see. Don't read Pynchon unless you know more about why he was a thing and then in small doses, IMHO.

Once you go /lit/...

no, you now realize why people don't like it. you could watch an adam sandler movie and try laughing next.

yeahp. being patrician is not fucking easy, man. not liking things makes you pretentious now.

I see new light and overarching meaning in my work every week.
When reflecting on your writing does this ever happen with you guys?

>>7578562
So you can't be happy unless you're completely ignorant? That doesn't seem fair, how am I supposed to use this picture to gage my intelligence since I can't be sure of it because of my crushing self doubt?

read the whole thing you fucking dip

>>7578529
Nah, there is too much shit I wanna read and I am not a NEET, so it would take too much time

>Reading the Old Testament of The "Bible"
Is there any reason I should do this if I'm not a Jew?

>>7578637
You have the rest of your life to read the Bible or eternity to spend in Hell because you didn't know what was in it

Kosher hot dogs and Kippahs.

Those tits.

why jewish girlies so degenerate, man

Neil Gaiman is absolutely worth looking into! He's one of the finest modern purveyors of literature around, don't believe all these sourpusses on here.

>>7578343
OP here. I worked at a bookstore for a few years and he was really popular with the tumblr-girl crowd. also seemed like teen-lit to me and so I have very little interest in reading his stuff.
Also i dont do graphic novels.
