Great choices
Black cat bones barrbed wire sandwich. Animal farm
>>64743419
Ok, still introspective though.
Album: Bee Thousand or Trout Mask Replica
Book: Ulysses or Moby Dick
>>64743453
Also my favorite album.
>Doopees - Doopee Time
>Invisible Cities
Album: Discordance Axis-The Inalienable Dreamless
Book: George Orwell-1984

Blonde on Blonde
A Catcher in the Rye
>>64744189
You got me.
Watchmen
Album: ...Like Clockwork
Book: Homer's Odyssey (It's a poem technically but I view it as a book)
I don't read much, but I loved Rollo May's The Courage to Create recently
>>64743528
fuck Darklands is so bland for me
>>64743514
ayy I remember the Kite Runner. Pretty solid read. Every time something heartwarming would happen some shit would go down like Hassan getting assraped. Didn't expect the book to be as realist as it was
wowee zowee
dubliners
>>64744189
You fucking mong, Ada or Ardor has nothing to do with pedophilia, just cause his most popular book deals with that theme doesn't mean all his books do.
And also are you implying you've never found a 12-13 year old girl attractive
>>64743630
nope sorry scotland is where i am
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
James Joyce - Ulysses
>>64744365
12-13 is fairly normal, but as you get older their young faces shouldn't fill you with lust but rather, protective or brotherly feelings rather than romantic ones.
The Residents - Meet The Residents
Dante - The Divine Comedy
>>64744381
Yeah, right.
Someone who has Ulysses as their favorite book does not have My Pleb Fantasy as their favorite album.
>having favorites
Post books and albums that go well together.
I feel like The Great Gatsby and Sunbather go together thematically. Disillusionment with dreams of success, people with drinking problems, observing the careless rich close up. Too bad the cover of Sunbather isn't a green gradient lol.
Cardiacs - Sing to God
Richard Bach - Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah
I wish I would read more
>>64744415
Fuck off
I listen to mostly classical but when I go for the pop shit I listen to Kanye.
>>64744451
>le classical is classy and smart meme
I was with you until this
>all these merappers with entry level english 101 taste in literature

>>64743339
Don't you think being able to pick out just one favourite album is a more pleb-like?
>>64744480
Do you have an inferiority complex because you aren't formally trained? Listen to what you enjoy, idgaf
What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
>>64743449
cool choices. how many times have you read finnegans wake, you have any favourite guides, was the apostrophe intentional.
>>64743705
I am in the Victoria, australia friendo
>Ulysses
>>64743449
Tell me why Finnegan's Wake is your favorite book of all time
>>64744526
>I'm so patrician I don't have a favorite album
just pick one of your favorites thats what most everyone does
>>64744608

The Crying of Lot 49
>>64744608
>>64743449
>falling for the apostrophe prank
The madman strikes again from beyond the grave
Future Days
The Brothers Karamazov
Reading Ulysses now, 300 pages in and I don't think it will replace BK, I also don't think that a lot of you claiming to have read it have actually read the whole thing
>>64744526
>he hasn't made his own scientifical-mathematical system to determine his favorite albums in an objective way
Pleb
>>64744719
It takes some work but it's far from unreadable…A more or less pleasurable experience most of the time
>>64744673
>>64744626
Haha you fell for my bait!
Of course I know it's without the apostrophe
Trolled ;)
>>64744719
Who's your favorite character from BK? Smersyakov haunts my dreams sometimes.
>>64744783
>engaging damage control
>>64744776
It isn't that I think it's unreadable, it's just so dense and occasionally tedious when you really don't know what you're reading.
>>64744812
*Smerdyakov
>>64744812
Original anon here
My favorite is Alyosha
Aphrodite's Child - 666
Italo Calvino - Invisible Cities
>>64744819
Oh yeah to be fair I read it in class first time –took a few days to read each episode along with the Gifford annotation book, so that helped. Once you sort of get to know Bloom I think it works better. And subsequent readings improve the experience, though the first time is perfectly enjoyable... Worth reading criticism too if you're interested. Hugh Kenner's a fun critic who is a little off and a little excitable but still good. His chapters on "The Arranger" and the "Aesthetic of Delay" in his own book Ulysses are a joy.
>>64744848
Me too
Mount Eerie
A Short History Of Nearly Everything
I don't read too many books tho
The Bell Jar
>>64744639
love me some Pynchon, have you read any of his others?
>>64745107
Just inherent vice, got any recs?
>>64745206
Bruh you have to at least read V, Mason & Dixon, and Gravity's Rainbow
>>64743762
My bad on the apostrophe
>>64744568
Three times
I haven't used a guide, other than discussing with my friends I guess
nope
>>64744608
It's culmination of literary styles that weaves a delicate, detailed, and intricate realism that outstrips the apparitions of all (Finnegans) about the dreaming mind of the collective unconscious
yes I'm pretentious, thanks for asking tho
Antena - Camino Del Sol
Kobo Abe - The Woman in the Dunes
for example
>>64744855
Hey! I wrote early in the thread, that's my favourite book too! Now I'll have to listen to your album>>64744855
>>64743402
Great album, haven't read Crime and Punishment yet but currently reading Demons which has one of the most beautiful covers (the Vintage Classics print).
>>64743453
That book has been on my read list for a while, seems good.
>>64743735
Fucking love Lamp, good stuff.
>>64744062
Beautifully written book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My favorite book is probably A Clockwork Orange and as for albums I really couldn't pick one but I love TPAB, Illinois of course, Mirages by Tim Hecker, Violent Femmes self titled and that Alvvays self titled.
>>64745307
That makes three.
You guys should read If on a winter's night a traveller, too, it's fantastic.

What's wrong with The Stranger now?

and

>>64745307
>>64744855
I read some of those Cosmicomics short stories by Calvino, and while they have hilariously witty execution of the concepts they introduce, they don't provoke much of a response in me. Is Invisible Cities a more fulfilling read?
>>64745377
absurdism is 2deep4me babby tier "philosophy"
>oh it's hot on this beach so I'll shoot some rando and it's not really my fault
>I have half-digested the ideas of superior thinkers about the inherent chaos of the world in such a way as to believe that personal agency does not exist
>>64745571
I also don't really like the cosmicomics, same thing with Marcovaldo (which is also a bunch of short stories). Invisible Cities is very different.
>>64745581
I don't really see The Stranger as some grand exploration of aburdism, it's just a pretty good novel.

I don't have a favourite of all time album, especially because I just recently got into discovering new music aside from what I used to listen. It varies a lot, but right now I'd say pic related

One Hundred Years of Solitude

Stoner - John Williams
reading is boring and unnecessary, a ploy by nu-males to make themselves seem smart and to make anyone who doesn't read seem unsmart.
Regardless to say it hasn't worked.

Favorite book: Notes From Underground.
>>64747664
What's wrong with those books? Please explain without using memes or buzzwords.
The Master and Margarita by Bulgakov
Hounds of Love

Haven't read a book in a long time, but I'd have to say The Lightning Thief.

Either this or Amnesiac by Radiohead.
As for books, it's also pretty difficult for me to choose, since I have a few favorites I like pretty much equally.. "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai, "The Trial" by Franz Kafka, or "The Fall" by Albert Camus.
>>64752574
you mean Hemmmingway
>>64743370
Hahaha, yeah seriously. plens
John Fowles - The Magus
>>64752599
The Fall is amazing man, nice choice. It's one of only two books which I've started again immediately after finishing it.
Naked Lunch
>>64752660
After reading it, all I could do was sit there and stare at the book. It made me think about so many things. It also left me terribly depressed, but in the best way possible.
>>64752784
>Naked Lunch
Great choice, anon. I love that book so much, there's nothing else like it. The imagery is so fucked up and disturbing but it's atmosphere is incredible, like some sort of drug-induced nightmare.

You're an idiot. The Stranger isn't about the "absurdity" of life, its about the dangers of living a life where you are closed off from reality. You only see yourself as a free self, rather than the collective, thus you even negate your own reality. Also, the book is about the limits of personal freedom in relation to the other who can grasp you in their reality. Your freedom is only limited by others freedom. Maybe you should read some fucking existentialism before you smash on on a great novel just because you think that its just fun to use buzzwords
