I liked it. The setting reminds me of Eliot's England (which I guess it is), but focuses more on smells than sights. The whole thing felt like a weird dream/nightmare, like when you don't know if you are awake or asleep.
>>8169263
is the P&V translation of this acceptable? I have that and the glenny copy..
>>8169237
its probably one of the better books i've ever read
once i burn through my backlog i'm gonna try and read more hawkes
>>8169958
Yeah what the fuck. half of 1984 is thoughts about raping women, sex scenes or the building up segments towards those sex scenes.
Why does almost nobody mentions this when talking about 1984?
>>8169152
really?
>>8166230
Honestly, the cover is a pretty good representation of the book--it's weird, hard to make out, and makes you very uncomfortable. New Directions is such a great publisher.
>>8169237
wew boi, your image is what made me read the lime twig. I liked it a lot, has a really dreamy feel to it.

It makes sense. We are innately sexual from a biological perspective and when this is suppressed it would be a major theme in one's thoughts.

Stormlight just wasn't as good as the Pacific Rim the novel

What I get from these threads is that the book you imagine from the title+cover is way better than the one you actually end up reading.

i can get the spaghetti spilling reference, but why Crowley?
>>8176834
pessoa was interested in occultism and mysticism, which feature in the book, and he also corresponded with crowley
>>8176861
also serves to explain that the character is mostly just a misguided weirdo

Hey, is that Clifford's Tower? I live near that.

I didn't read it for Finnegans Wake, but I liked the book.

If you live near it shouldn't you know what it is?

Why should I take what you have to say seriously, especially when you're talking about "innate" sexuality

sorry if I'm being stupid, but can you explain this meme? The third panel actually; I haven't read the book and have no intention of doing so, so I have no context to understand what you're trying to say.

You were reading Das Kapital expecting the communist manifesto?
Have fun reading Summa Theologica expecting the old testament

THANK YOU grass mowing levin ftw. still only good part of the book.

What did he mean by this?

the funny thing about the art of the deal is, that Trump is doing exactly what he wrote in the book in his campeign. He's asking for way more than he wants(being outlandish, outrages, etc) so when he actually comprises, gets serious he gets far more than he wanted, he gets you on his side, and he seems way better than he actually is. I don't don't expect shillary supporters to read though
>>8173813
True. Got a few good laughs tho. Hit and miss.
>>8185452
So basically every worn-down cliche portrayal of bartering in every piece of fiction ever.
What a genius.

the cover is literally the only way you can judge a book before reading it
>>8187649
Except, you know, all the informations you can gather beforehand.
>>8173805
last panel is very accurate
>>8179732
this image would apply to maybe two chapters, levin is happily married like 2/3rds of the book
>>8188030
oh fuck forgot to crop this

unlikely, it's near the top if you google"gay sex twink"
a lot of twinks look underage though

Nah, Kant is the retard.

This is what makes Odyssey so comfy. All those descriptions of Dawn, and Greek hospitality. And to be fair, Athena, cyclops, and sailing tales are still in there. I enjoyed it more than Iliad.
>>8187674
why is nirvana in the last panel.
>>8187767
Starship Troopers is a good book to show why fascism was attractive in Italy in the 20s, but terrible when you go into it expecting tons of battles and violence like in the movie.

No.
>>8171036
that's just patently false
yes, there are these things in there, but they aren't as pronounced as the political or psychological discourse
