That book was trash, and I don't expect the movie to be any different.

>>8225796
The book is excellent, actually, but a lot of Roth's books have film adaptations.

Lol of course they show the explosion right at the start of the trailer because that's what gets audiences interested

>continentalists

it's cleanly written, self-aware but not obnoxiously so, and the theme of life being a constant stream of disappointment resonates with this generation, also, marketing.

>>8225738
>cleanly written

Explain this meme. When is it a merit, and when is it a flaw?

>>8225772
It's a flaw when it doesn't compliment the novel.

>>8225584
No.

>>8225584
Yes.

Because it was for ten year olds. Stop making this thread.

Victorian nostalgia themed fantasy that allowed children to easily imagine themselves stepping into the world. The books really arent terrible as far as childrens books go and theres nothing wrong with having fond memories of them. The Young Adult defebse force assholes claiming its equivelant to high literature are cancer tho.

Easy story that came at the right, allowed people to growth up with it and as time passed, tackled deeper and darker subjects. Also likable characters, and did not focus exclusively on a love story, but rather how to endure and overcome the hardships of our life.

could be, but reading lit writen in same language you are using is more valuable to you

I claim translations can be superior to the original work.

>>8225560
It is about removing the self or 'cleaning the glass' between the author and the 'objective' (it's more complicated than objective/subjective imo) reality they are describing

/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to /his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to /pol/. Philosophical discussion can go on either /lit/ or /his/, but ideally those discussions of philosophy that take place on /lit/ should be based around specific philosophical works to which posters can refer.

Why would you dismiss Dan Brown's works, when they're more intelligent than the writing in your pic related.

Fragments of notes not designed to be assembled as a novel.
There are semblances of poetry and prose, but ultimately just notes

>>8225211
so it is fiction? like a fragmented attempt for a novel?

>>8225205
Could hardly care, I just love opening it at arbitrary pages and start reading

Or any crime recommendations? Books which you'd assume were shit but then somehow aren't?

I'm reading "Depraved
the shocking true story of America's first serial killer"

So far it's not too boring. It's started to get good and it's just the beginning.

This "pharmacist" had relocated to Chicago, built a 3 story sprawling building that became known as "the castle." It was essentially designed as a fun house of confusing hallways, traps, and a cellar with things like a stretching rack, surgical implements and he had built a kiln that was perfectly sized for human bodies.

I just loved this...
