You ever hear of a thing called a period bra?
Does this ever start to be less wordy, or at least with more direction? The imagery and dialogue are fantastic, but few and far between passages that contain references I don't think I'm understanding.
I loved V. and enjoyed Lot 49 but this book is making me feel pretty dumb so far.
It be like it is

Buckley's The Relic Master (from 2015 the newest book I've read since 2008)
Mildly entertaining, but feels like Canterbury Tales' the Pardoner's Tale or some shit for normies.

>Elect Mr. Robinson For A Better World
>I need chapters to function.
Well, I just finished the Plague like an hour ago, so I'll comment on this anyway.
It was superbly written, but I'm a little confused as to the meaning.
Was he trying to say that the best way to live a "purposeful" life is to fight death?
He was quite heavy on the whole "you don't know what you have until it's gone" motif as well, I thought.
>So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane
What did he mean by this?
>>7569062
I'm meek. She's brash.
This is literally describing the mental moment some cuck is putting the pussy on a pedestal.
>>7569062
That he is an embarrassment to men.

Why, tho?
It's time to tell the redditors to leave. I have seen the quality of posts decline significantly. /lit/ is progessively becoming shit again after /his/ cleared the idiots out. We can't have this. This is the last bastion of 'OK' literature discussion. Don't stand for it.
REDDIT GO HOME
>>7568852
Yeah
You're a fucking loser. Get a life.

I tried to post this on /pol/, but I figure this board is better if we're to have an actual conversation What do you think of these books? I got them for Christmas.
2 and 3 are useful to read, 1 is optional, last 2 are garbage
>>7568814
The Wealth of Nations is THE seminal work on optimizing pin-manufacture in a 18th century factory.
>>7568820
Agree with this fella. I'm no economist however. What you could do is see what the recommended reading is for uni courses are in unis like Oxford or Yale.
Ever joined one? A book club, that is? How was it? Pleb tier, patrician tier? Got laid?
nope, thinking of starting one.
two friends and I read Dhalgren ~75 pages a week, met once a week for an hour. It was great. Picked up on a lot of stuff I wouldn't have otherwise.
i did sleep with one of them around that time, but I don't think it had to do with the book club. she also kind of left me hanging.
>>7568705
I have one of those friend too, but we discuss any book being read or having been read. She never picked up a single book from the Lumières era, but she likes my funny maymay picture books! :')
What did Evola mean when he spoke of transcendence? I'm reading his work right now and I'm a bit stumped by this.

Eh Orwell...

Plato you hack

Mishimia you fucking hack.
What it says on the tin.
>>7568479
what a small room
>>7568479
How much did you overpay for that tiny room with that shitty view? Awful, anon. Just awful.
who is "next"?
>>7568182
to die? as far as you know the pynchonmeister might have kicked the bucket already, what makes you think there would be a press release?
Bloom
>>7568199
We better get a sticky when he kicks the bucket.
just started my collection desu
I know you are proud of your new collection but I've already seen you post it twice within the last week.
>>7568171
Yeah man, not be rude or anything, but like the other anon said there's no need to be posting your bookshelf this many times.
>>7568186
Fuck off, there's almost nothing wrong with that shelf.
MOM'S GONNA FREAK!!!
>That one friend who insists Gregor was turned into "vermin" but that Kafka never said what kind and so gets all huffy and puffy when he sees any rendering of Gregor as a cockroach
well the apple that was thrown was embedded into the exoskeleton, whatever vermin it might be there are things it can't be
I'm a lot like Kafka. Intelligent, nihilistic, and with a wicked sense of humor.
Shoud I buy this, /lit/?
>>7568106
If you want to read it, sure.
Is that cover a real thing? Did they really have Cornellá do that?
>>7568117
Yes.
