What did you give to yourself this christmas?
no mames.
Why translation? Learning English is easy in this day and age.
Also, speaking of translations, A Journey Round My Skull is on its way. Can't wait!

Doesn't this happen in Wolf in White Van?

I guess so, hadn't heard about it before. Is it good?
Just posted that because suicide is stupid and any life is worth living aside from a suicidal death.
>>7501145
I was about to say "ayyyy me too" but I bought it because I'm living the /lit/ lifestyle in a poor neighborhood, not because I'm killing myself. Don't do it mang unless your oeuvre is good enough that you'll become posthumously famous. Remember, since you offed yourself the standards are a lower.
What's a good place online to buy books? I'm trying to move from digital copies to physical.

I don't read much. I don't really know how to 'browse' books as in how to choose what I read.
It is so easy to find new music I like with sites like RateYourMusic.
I like Cormac McCarthy's NCFOM and BM. I'm thinking on ordering his Border trilogy for 20 euros.
I also 'like' the discussion I've seen about Gravity's Rainbow and I think I would enjoy that book based on discussion of it in here.
I guess I'm asking for some /lit/core chart to get me into reading`? Like /mu/ has their mucore chart that has black metal, pop, rock etc.
Do you have one, litcore chart?

Ausfag here, I know that feel

what kinda books did you read in highschool? Because usually they have one or two short entry level /lit/ books like Slaughterhouse V or 1984. But if you came from Scotland like me they would've made you read old scottish plays.

Add some of us goodreads folks. Not as great a recommendation site as the music ones and the general community can be insufferable but with /lit/ friends it can be good.

>Why translation? Learning English is easy in this day and age.
Not OP, but where I live is hard to get physical books in original english, to get the original you would have to order it from amazon and pay the crazy overseas shipping.

>I will be painting my walls with my brainpaint on new years eve.

How difficult Pynchon and Gaddis are in english?
Nothing special, pic from my fb I posted in the christmas eve. Ive finished cormac and Im like in the middle of salinger so far (catcher in the rye is probably the most overrated and boring shit I read in recent years), really liked the road but I still find blood meridina his best work.
>>7500910
Got all the books I wanted from my family. Very grateful. Among them the Collected Works of William Shakespeare. Should keep me at it for a few months.

I know it's a "what did you buy yourself" thread but Jesus I love my mom. This is perfect. Rate it my friends.
She also got my the Brothers Karamazov and a copy of Wuthering Heights.
The Plotinus volumes.

Maxim Gorky - My Universities
Arno Schmidt - Aus dem Leben eines Fauns
A Swedish translation of the four Greek plays Antigone, Alkstis, Medea and Hippolytos by Hjalmar Gullberg
All in okay to good quality from one of the local second hand book stores. I got them at a very cheap price, considering those and a plastic bag with other books for my family and friends went for the same price as a single new one would be sold at.

You should be happy about having such a great mom. I hope you enjoy it.
