The whole "Tips fedora" thing in relation to my post seems a little weird. It's supposed to be an insult towards mid-twenties redditers who fully enforce athiesm at every chance they get, and yet Dostoyevsky is probably one of the most religious and spiritual writers, who deeply advocates the acceptance of God and virtue in many of his works.

tl;dr, he was trying to insult me but he actually made himself look retarded.

It does not matter what developer handless the material: the material is so utterly and absolutely unsuitable to be made into a game it's not even funny. There would be no point, no purpose for interaction: at the absolute best, it would make for a passive walking sim and exploration game. And that is no fun to play.

Yep, it's new. Only one book in it so far. As much as it pains me to say it, it's set in a Steampunk Fantasy world that involves airships, piracy, and all that shit. The surface of the world is covered in clouds and everyone lives in giant stone towers that rise from the surface. It's a bit slow at the start since all the made-up terminology needs to be introduced, but it's more or less what I've come to expect from Butcher. Good stuff.

The talking cat is the best character.

House of Leaves
It was a visual novel with bad art and slight echi stuff in it.
>>
>>337353335
It's hard to give suggestions when one does not know about your taste.
If you look for an intellectual challenge in literature, I recommend Borges (ficciones) and Eco (Name of the Rose and Foucault's pendulum).
If you look for imagination and fascinating imagery, Italo Calvino, Bruno Schultz, shorter works by Kafka, Bulgakov, short stories by Cortazar, maybe Milorad Pavić and his Chazarian Dictionary.
If you look for honesty of expression, then Russian and Japanese literature are a good bet: Chekhov, Dostoyevski, Gorky, Ibuse, Shiga, Kawabata, Abe.

Those are the books that excited me even when I thought literature does not have anything more to offer. But I do have my own specific biases (towards russian literature, magical realism and japan specifically), so it's hardly a safe bet.
>>
>>337353450

Kafka on the Shore and 1Q84. The novels most everyone seems to suggest of his. Then there are all the suggestions of Chuck and his works, the meme of Infinite Jest, etc. A few books by an author i've forgotten the name of involving medicine, prison and executions within.

I thought the Story of the Eye was entertaining but mostly written to be smut with shock value.

I tried reading feminist literature for a while to better understand the changes I was seeing in the women and girls in my life as they entered this new stage in life but found most were bordering on destructive and psychotic.

It's true that everything has been said. But you haven't heard everything that has been said. If the contents have been heard already, find something that you haven't heard before, rather then just hearing the same thing but prettier.

Yes food analogies are bad because /v/ told you they are. Keep up the good work.

Food analogies are so common because it's pretty much the one thing everyone can relate to.

I'll humor you though.

>high quality harmonies and melodies
I'll never understand why that is important. It is pretty much listening to a song for the notes. What's important is what is being sung, not how it sounds.

The point being, you get more from a book than just information, more from a meal than just nutrition, more from a song than just the meaning of the lyrics. You get enjoyment from it, and the better the prose, cooking, or songwriting, the more enjoyment you'll get.
Beyond that though, low-quality prose can impede your ability to understand the book's message, while high-quality prose will enhance your understanding.

because they never work. Food is related to your health. Books, vydia, cars, are not. Eating a shitty food will fuck you up, playing a shit game will not.

That's how rapping works tho

>You get enjoyment from it,

?

Following that logic if the content is good/important/worthwhile but the prose is shit, it's still better to read that then reading something with good prose that isn't telling you anything new, which is exactly my point, prose is not important.

Food analogies are some of the least subjective analogies you can make. Everybody eats, pretty much everyone would prefer tasty food to tasteless food. If my analogy "didn't work" you really didn't get it, you might actually, literally, I don't mean this in a meme-y 4chan way, be on the spectrum

>That's how rapping works tho

It really isn't. Rapping, especially good rap, is all about rhythm and flow.

>Weren't you the one saying shit about
>>reading literature with enjoyment as the primary focus
>?

No. That was another anon, I just saw your comment dismissing the fact that it's better for something you read to be well written, and jumped in there.
>Following that logic if the content is good/important/worthwhile but the prose is shit, it's still better to read that then reading something with good prose that isn't telling you anything new, which is exactly my point, prose is not important.

Following your logic, it would be best to do away with prose all together. It's best, and most efficient, to just read summaries of books on wikipedia or sparknotes. That way you get all the information and ideas without all that bothersome aesthetic experience, and you'll even get some interpretation and explanation without the need to think.

Bad content + poor prose = worst option
Bad content + good prose or good content + bad prose = second best option, depending on perspective and preference
Good content + good prose = best option, hands down.
