So, how many of you are getting a copy of Pynchon's Super Secret Bootleg Collection?
>>7727662
Haven't all the copies already been sold at this point. And at 350 bucks a pop all I can say is "thanks but, no thanks".

You do realize you can literally download all that shit and print it yourself, right?
I know that it should never be adapted, and that we've probably had this thread before, but it occurred to me that pic related would make a perfect C.T.

Honestly. I usually take the time to read these things and make real comments on them, but there's no chance I'm going to deviantart. Frankly, kill yourself.

Picked this up since Upon a Winter's Night a Traveller wasn't available.
What are your thoughts on it? Before reading what ideas should I be paying explicit attention to? I've read Invisible Cities.
why don't you just read the fucking book
Not as good as invisible cities or winters night
>books which should have existed
Halston Thromboux is a meme tier author of genre fiction with no discernible talent!

After finishing the stranger, I dug straight into The myth of sissyphus, was this a bad idea, should I have read a couple of other Camus novels, what are your thoughts /lit/
>>7727309
avoid it till later, or altogether.
continue on with the plague.
>>7727354
But The Plague was a snore
>>7727309
Myth of sissyphus is super important to understand camus' view of existence. IMO it places the character from the stranger, the fall etc. into more context. The Fall was probably my favorite novel of his, I'd recommend reading it alongside sissyphus.
It's definitely much less entertaining to read than his novels, and to get the full grasp of it you need to understand who he's responding to with regards to existentialism--mainly Nietzsche and Kierkegaard if I recall correctly.
Reading Sartre alongside Camus is also a lot of fun.
Ed Regis did nothing wrong

Who's that again? Read this book when I was a kid. Man did the lost world ever suck dick
>novel has two completely different narratives along the main story to develop meaning
No, no, you don't understand, it's relevant!
>>7727271
Yea, its getting pretty annoying in fantasy/scifi that every book has multiple POVs now.
I mean Frank Herbert pulled it of in Dune, but in the case of GRRM you have some pretty decent stories trapped with a shitload of mediocrity

>"The Waste Land, by T.S Eliot."
>Hm, what's it about?
What the fuck do I say here, /lit/? Short of going into a thirty minute long lecture about the intricacy's of The Waste Land's structure, how would one go about responding to this?

"You wouldn't understand, mom."
It's a super long fucking poem about a phone book.
