More comfy books?
I don't remember what happens all I remember is that I really liked this book
I'd like to start reading Mishima, but I only have enough money for one book at the moment (lots of bills this month.)
Which should I start out with, /lit/?
Spring Snow, The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea, or the Temple of the Golden Pavilion?

Posting this arbitrarychart which you could have found in the sticky.
Has this country produced any literature of worth post 1945?
>>8242014
yes
I actually wonder myself. I've been waiting patiently for someone on /lit/ to recommend something written in England during the 20th century bc most of the serious writing by native English speakers seems to have been done by Americans and Irishmen.
>>8242014
Parade's End you plebeian.
Gormenghast series too
Is there any really good novel like story of the eye that has scat? Story of the eye had a ton of piss sex but no scat.
>>8241982
this will be interesting
my diary desu
unrelated but what kind of person reads bataille? what's the draw?
Homer passed away today
Could a man like Homer even exist today? in this modern age?
i'd imagine he would have just ended up in prison for a long time in his 20s
especially in this very emasculated culture
/r9k/
>>8241972

what THE FUCK is up with that disgusting scat/BDSM scene and river boat thing or whatever? why did Thomas Pynchon write that depraved lunacy?
>>8241897
lel
ain't Bianca cute?
He wrote it on purpose so that he wouldn't have to decline the Pulitzer prize.
>>8241897
Because there is depraved lunacy in the world.
>scat scene
>so thaaat's why his name was Brigadier Pudding
That passage singlehandedly made Pointsman the most based character in GR.
>owning paper books
Literally why when Kindle's can store more books than most peoples houses can contain?
i also own several large magnets.
>>8241857
Because the thought of all the trees that died to create my books gives me wood.
e-readers are a meme. They will not be a thing in the next few years.
Which one is the best?
What a stupid question.
stop reading young adult you fucking child
Who /penultimateperil/ here?
>comfy hotel
>trial scene with blindfolds
>elevator during the fire
This is seriously one of the most boring and tedious books I have ever fucking read in my life. It's just a guy walking around town and speaking nonsense.
correct. i have put it down twice now in the last 3 years. will probably pick it up again at some point but as of now i only want to read it to say ive read it.
I read it in French despite not being very good at French so I remember very little about it. The subplot about the Autodidact stands out.
>>8242037
Agreed. I read it in French too for the practice, but decided there were better French books to read than that and stopped. The autodidact was the most interesting part of the book. Why is this book so acclaimed?
Apologize.
Someone post it
Okay. I'm sorry.
That book is unbearably white Tbh.

So, what's the deal with Deleuze?
I've read that you can't understand him without Greeks, Descartes, Hume etc., but also that people who know too much about western philosphy had problems to understand, while people who did not read these understood Capitalism and Schizophrenia perfectly.
So... what is the consensus? Should you read these philosophers whom Deleuze liked and wrote about (Nietzsche, Bergson, Foucault, Spinoza etc.), should you read pre-ancient and forward or should you just jump in?
ask your phil professor
>b-but i'm studying by myself
go fuck yourself then
>>8241676
nice contribution.
anyway, what would deleuze think of contemporary universities?
>>8241708
>rhizomatic
One of you claimed a couple weeks ago that this had the most immersive prose they've ever read but really it is just so fucking mediocre. Why do you always lie to me /lit/?
>>8241654
You're only lying to yourself.
>>8241654
So you disagree with a person's opinion. Get over it, pleb
>not rating Woolf
>>8241654
>taking recommendations from /lit/
You do realize that most of /lit/ don't even read, right?
