the feeling you get after you really need to piss, and then you piss, and it's a really long piss, maybe the longest piss you've ever had and you lean against the wall and the sensations running through your body are like an orgasm but not quite an orgasm but it's like so damn good.

Seriously though, like a really big piss. Like you remember this piece of trivia from when you were a kid about how a human bladder can only hold half a litre of piss, but you're sure this is closer to a litre.

This makes me want to say Nick Hornby some of his other books like How To Be Good you'd probably like because of There will be Blood
Beckett, later Joyce read aloud, Flann O'Brien and magical realism like Borges or Bioy Casares are probably closer to what you got from the visual side. Howl by Ginsberg is about a Dadaist. Most Dadaist stuff itself isn't intended to be good, but it is fun to heard about.

Yeah I've yet to read Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby, quite enjoyed High Fidelity so thank you for reminding me to put this on my to read list.

Dubliners is the next book I'm going to read, never read Joyce before. Why read it aloud though? Something to do with the vivid descriptions?

Thanks for the other recs as well, haven't read many latin wirters desu so adding those as well, seem pretty interesting!

You're doing a fantastic work, anon, there should be more people like you
>>
>>8202809
>Why read it aloud though? Something to do with the vivid descriptions?
A lot of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake are sounds. It's a bit like Trainspotting makes sense if you read it in a Scottish accent for the Scottish chapters, except you have to read all the letters aloud to work out Joyce meant [[wave sounds]] or [[sound of falling down a gangplank]]. Dubliners doesn't have as many parts that need to be read aloud to understand what the sounds mean; much easier than Trainspotting even.

>latin

Yeah, sorry about that, I should be ashamed of myself, having studied latin in school and being from a ''''''latin'''''' country as well.
My Spanish is quite poor, should I read a French or English translation? Or should I man up and try to the original source content?

NERV's megalomania much resembles those of the allied scientists at the White Visitation and the Nazi ones at Peenemünde. Roger Mexico and Jessica Swanlake's doomed, war-fueled relationship resembles that of Misato and Kaji. Tokyo-3 getting btfo by Angels beyond their comprehension is similar to London getting btfo by Angels, especially how both cities seem to have come to terms with death and are fully mobilized.

There's actually a lot of parallels between Gravity's Rainbow and Evangelion.
