this is the only video game based book I read and it was only because I was actually interested in the video game which got cancelled in the 90s.
There's a weird part at the beginning where Thralls mom makes him suck on her bloody nipples. Also marital rape.

3 1/2 stars / 5 is pretty good. considering 2 1/2 is average. And Ulysses has like 4. So I wouldnt say they are bad

Yeah I'm reading the dialogues right now and Socrates is a fucking dumbass
>>8077238
some of the arguments are so fucking ridiculous.
>wisdom is a virtue
>doctors are wise but they do not compete with other doctors
>unjust people compete with other unjust people
>therefore injustice is not virtuous
something along those lines. it was a convoluted mess.

So many of these on this board. People who think Aristotle and Aquinas actually solved anything beyond a shadow of a doubt are the absolute worst.
Juvenile
"i would prefer not to"
not even a single meme. What am I supposed to do with this shit?
Did I miss something?
Besides the whole fluidity of time stuff, I feel like this book went way over my head. Was he writing how boring life makes people imagine stuff? I don't see any other motifs
>>8077106
Vonnegut lived like a coward, wrote like a coward, and died a coward.
Books with metaphors and allegories are a waste of time.
You can interpret it however you want, some people like to circlejerk about that shit but in my opinion it's just pointless
please god delete this thread
We can all agree the printed page is obsolete, right?
>that kindle 9.7"

>You know there is a crime to commit tonight. My poor friend, you know nothing and the like. Open this door wide and tell yourself it is night completely, that the day has died for the very last time.
What is anti-literature? Thoughts?
>Prisoners of the water drops, we are only perpetual animals. We run in cities, noiseless, and the enchanted posters don' t touch us anymore. What are these fragile enthusiasms for, these dried up jumps of joy? We know now nothing but the dead lights; we look at the faces; and we sigh from pleasure. Our mouths are dryer than the lost pages; our eyes turn to no aim, hopeless.
>There is nothing more than the cafes where we reunite to drink refreshing drinks, these diluted alcohols and the table, more gooey than those sidewalks where fell our dead shadows from yesterday.
>Sometimes the wind engulfs us with its big cold hands and ties us to the trees the sun cuts out. Together we all laugh, we sing, but no longer feel its heart beat. Fever leaves us.

Just finished rereading The Hobbit for the first time in a decade.
The movies don't deserve 90% of the shit they've gotten. Biggest meme book I've ever read.
>>8076832
Totally agree. The movie in particular did a much better job of giving all the dwarfves personalities, as opposed to just disappearing into a void whenever Bilbo didn't need them
What music does /lit/ like to hearif any at allwhile reading?
Down on the west coast
I get this feeling like it all could happen
That's why I'm leaving you
For the moment, you for the moment
Boy blue, yeah you
It's getting harder to show it
I'm feeling hot to the touch
You say you miss me
And I always say I miss you so much
Something keeps me real cold
I'm alive, I'm a lush
Your love, your love, your love
I can see my baby swinging
His Parliament's on fire when his hands are up
On the balcony and I'm singing
Ooh baby, ooh baby, I'm in love
I go for minimal electronic, ambient, and any jazz that isn't my bonkers free jazz stuff while i read
but i prefer quiet
>>8076828
I really enjoy ambient music/witch house. Wonder/Wander and Halfaxa are some of my go to albums.
What's he trying to discern?
>>8076812
His cue card
the clock to see how many more hours of suffering he has until he's paid
He's trying to find out where the vending machine is. He needs a Mountain Dew stat.
