What should I read next?
>>
fuck off
>>
>>8002364
glass bead game
>>
>>8002364
handmaid's tale. they are making a tv series about it so you need to read it before that appears otherwise people will think you are only reading it because of the series. and of course it will mean you can knowledgeably point out the discrepancies between the book and the series.

is morrisey's autobiography actually penguin classic?

i thought that was a /lit/ meme
>>
>>8002420
I tried that. I couldn't get into it.
>>
>>8002439

It actually is, yes. Bought it for the meme.
>>
>>8002439

Morrissey said he didn't want it published if it wasn't a Penguin Classic, the publisher relented to his demands, and how it's an essential part of the Western Canon.

Also, OP, why is your Morrissey a lot thicker than the ones I see at the store? Did our version get abridged to half the fucking size or what?
>>
>>8002442
how comes. I want to read it.
>>
>>8002463
So read it. It doesn't matter what I think about a book I didn't finish seven or eight years ago.
>>
>>8002448

I have no idea, but yeah my copy is like 500 pages
>>
>>8002466
I'm going to read it no matter what you cunt. just tell me what you thought. jesus Christmas

>>8002364
> Morrissey's Autobiography
> a Penguin Classic

We're all done for.
>>
>>8002364
>>8002439
>>8002448

If I could prevent one person from ever existing, it would be Steven Morrissey.
>>
>>8002439

Yes it is and Penguin classics should be boycotted until they remove it.
>>
Penguin def lost some integrity with that morrissey autobiography
>>
Anton Chekhov's selected short stories

>>8002845

>the US edition has details of Morrissey's personal life edited out - details that were apparently deemed likely to upset American readers, who (even when looking to read Morrissey's autobiography) are apparently likely to be offended by discussion of homosexuality.
>>
>>8002490
Fine! Fucking hell.

I thought it was bland, there didn't seem to be a point and I have no idea how The Glass Bead game works. After reading maybe a third of the book I realized that I didn't care.
>>
>>8002364
Read perks. It's YA, but enjoyable.

Read Mann if you want something /lit/
>>
>>8003895
That's pretty ridiculous
>>
>>8003895

YEEEE HAWWWWWWW!!!!
>>
I don't see Infinite Jest there, which disappoits me
>>
>>8003880
Because The Smiths don't outweigh how shit of a human he has been.
>>
>>8002364
Read death in Venice, then buy the magic mountain, then buddenbrooks and then Dr Faustus.
>>
>>8002442
Then why is it an option in your damn image, OP?

Marry Death in Venice
Fuck To Have and Have Not
Kill The Perks of Being a Wallflower
>>
Read the divine comedy
Or don't, i don't care
>>
>>8002364
Keats for sure. You'll likely be starting a lifelong affair with his poetry, and you'll keep coming back to it. Also read his letters. He seems to have been a lovely individual.
>>
>>8002364
Inferno.
Or, if those are what you already read and want the next choice: Purgatorio
>>
Seriously, throw out Perks of Being a Wallflower like the garbage it is.
>>
>>8002364
I like how broken the Atwood spine is.
Indicative, me thinks
>>
>>8002364
Destroy Morrissey. Burn that fucking shit. "Penguin Classic" ??? What the actual fuck. Destroy Morrissey. Burn it. Burn burn it it.

Other than that, READ MANN.
>>
Keats is so based
>>
>>8002364
The Glass Bead Game

you got me there
>>
>>8004328
you have to be able to appreciate it as a take on the Bildungsroman, I'm guessing you would find Wilhelm Meister bland as well
>>
>>8005389
Not OP big fella.

>>8008734
It's a possibility, but I'll try it and if I like it I'll try The Glass Bead Game again. Thanks.
>>
>>8008868
I'm also fairly certain that, like Wilhelm Meister or Mann's Doktor Faustus, The Glass Bead Game is considered something of a tour de force, and it does have a lot of stuff crammed in there
