I'm a chapter into this.

Does it get better? Is it just pretentious garbage? What's the point of the writing style? Am I just not patrician enough to understand? I mean, I don't spend my free time annotating Dostoyevsky or shit like that, but I'm a smart enough cookie to wrap my head around most of the freaky shit you nerds read.

That said, this right here just fucking baffles me. What's the general opinion of it on /lit/? Is there a particular way I should read this?

It might help to be familiar with John Dos Passos' USA Trilogy (42nd Parallel, 1919, Big Money), which Brunner lifts some stylistic ideas from.

It's not super deep, just has a slow start. It's gets more interesting later on, and faster.

This book is awesome. I wish /lit/ talked about it more.

I have 1 hour to spend 18 credits (1 audiobook each) on audible or I lose them. Do you have any suggestions, particularly for books which are well-suited to audio? In addition to fiction, I also enjoy history, philosophy and anthropology.

Ha. For paranoia and 70s politics: The Illuminati Trilogy bybShea and Wilson. Harlan Ellison wrote sci fi in a similar vein as PKD. His anthologies include: Dangerous Visions and Shatterday. Sometimes Pynchon is like a much denser PKD...

How the fuck do these hacks get paid to teach?

>… I think probably in the context of this nature… nevertheless fascinating but will never occur…
>… now you’ve read some Deridie… you’ve found it difficult, indeed, you’ve thought “Why does he have to write like that?”… isn’t he making it more difficult than it needs to be…
>… why doesn’t he say one thing that he means? It’s all deliberate on his part
>… deconstruction is an evasive dance that one doesn’t settle for distinct positions… an idea that can be understood as governed by a blanket term… what is often called a transcedental signifie…. crab-like size-ways way around an arguement… all it can to avoid seeemingly to avoid… definite concept.. deconstruction is deconstruction of the grounds that our thinking can be derived from one definite concept…

> Let me remind us that we’ve been doing deconstruction and what’s been problematic in derida has been explained. Let’s begin with a warmup sheet which we can anchor in these drawings I’ve made.
> You look at these drawings and go aha that’s the vertical axis and once we get to feminism feminism has its own ideas of the vertical axis
> In the mean time the Eiffel tower shows how the vertical axis is vertical.

Listen to this hack. Tell me you weren't making fun of your lit prof for being a goof as you sat in class listening to his alzheimer dementia ramblings.

I got a problem. I can lay in bed and shitpost for hours on end late into the night. But the second I Crack open my book late at night I start to fall asleep after 10 minutes. This only started happening to me this year. Wtf is wrong with me. Any tips on how to stay awake or fight this bullshit. This ever happen to you?
