Girlfriend let me borrow these.

Not enough, borrow her virginity too.

Nice.
Marry her
In what fairy tale universe do girlfriends read Gaddis?
Congrats, your gf is more patrician than me.
JR sounds really interesting. Going to buy a new book tomorrow, should I read this next?
>>8258958
>Gaddis
heard he was a hard read
where should i start and is JR a good place to start?
anything to read before him?
>>8258958
I actually have both of those editions.
>>8259104
> based Hou Hsiao-Hsien
right on, my man
JR is a good place to start. Maybe be familiar with guys like Weber and Marx. Although there's a Gaddis site which should help you out with that.

I've seen The Boys from Fengkuei a few months back, there was an event at the Venice Film Festival where they showed the remastered movie - it was incredible. What do you reckon one should watch afterwards?
>>8258958
Cool OP, I borrowed Cioran's A Short History of Decay from my girlfriend's family library, cool stuff.

A City of Sadness and The Puppetmaster, along with A Time to Live...are usually considered his best. Summer at Grandpas is cozy as fuck. Goodbye South, Goodbye is also pretty good.
Edward Yang is great, A Brighter Summer Day is amazing, if you haven't seen it.

Thanks anon, you are one helpful dude. Was just looking for something to see tonight.

I'm actually helping restore the Davis painting on the cover of Recognition currently.
Otherwise brilliant books
>Penguin editions
Shoot her.

I think the implication of the Stirner pic is that the girlfriend and books are already his property and no one should be "letting" him do what he wants with them.
Or maybe you're right and the pic was simply meant to be derisive.
>>8258958
Assuming she's read them, your best bet is to propose immediately and hope that, despite your illiteracy, she says yes.

whew lad
>>8261737
Ordered ego and his own the other day, hype as a bitch for that motherfucker desu
>>8261745
You might be dissapointed.
>>8260256
It was both. "Let' implies that his girlfriend might have actually withheld them from him, which would be hilarious.
Why are these books so expensive on eBay?
>>8261782
Those editions are out of print now. You're pretty much stuck getting the Dalkey Archive ones now if you don't want to pay out the ass. Though I guess you could get lucky and find them at a used book store or estate sale or some shit.

>You're pretty much stuck getting the Dalkey Archive ones now
You say this like it's a bad thing. The Dalkey versions are of a far superior quality to your typical Penguin classic.
>>8261782
The book was out of print, they released a new run a few days ago actually.

They're both paperbacks, just paper glued to paper.
>Penguin
Shit, pleb gf you have there. My gf would never touch such filth.
>>8263880
What's wrong with penguin?
>>8262221
They really aren't. I have some Dalkey Archive books and they're no better or worse than penguins.
>>8263934
Nothing. It's a meme.
>>8263880
I'd touch your girlfriend's penguin tbqh
>>8263934
Penguin is the China of publishers.
>>8263963
what does that mean?
>>8258958
>borrow
he other swinging dick gave them to her. Look, they haven't been touched.
You are being played, faggot.
>>8263973
Underestimated by ignorant, prideful westerners.
Anywhere I can cop J R online for not a ton of money? Managed to find The Recognitions at a used bookstore but have had no luck with J R
>>8263997
Have you tried getting a job instead of echoing your mothers demands?
>>8263973
Try thinking for yourself once.
>>8263997
since he wasn't very popular it's hard. i've been looking for hard covers of either, just to have, at used book stores for a long time now. don't think there was ever a very large circulation, so i wouldn't count on it.
>>8263997
I've seen used copies of the dalkey archive version on amazon for 13 bucks plus shipping which isn't too bad.
If you're going to watch A Brighter Summer Day just get ready for four hours of saddness. Still awesome though.
>Girlfriend
Nice b8
