Yes, OP. Your pic is and always will be related.
I've posted this before but when I finished the last volume from In Search of Lost Time, I searched for the next book for about thirty minutes. When I realized there was no more I had a quiet psychotic breakdown with much tears and I didn't leave the house for like a week
when the guy an heros in the heart is a lonely hunter

There's a thread on /soc/ right now where you write a letter to someone and I cried at the one I just read.
>>7715173
What? that feel?
>>7715177
Naw, those feet.
>>7715178that still doesn't make any goddamn sense you raving lunatic

>when the guy an heros in the heart is a lonely hunter
this was sad senpai
the catcher in the rye killed me
Stoner triggers me.
And not because of the plot. I lend my copy to a female friend and she fucking lost it. What a fucking whore.

The Dead by Joyce came pretty close
the great gatsby desu

>implying you didn't cry like a bitch at "Stoner was glad she didn't leave a note to try and say what could not be said"
>implying you didn't cry like a bitch when you saw the "to W.S." dedication in Katherine's book
>implying you didn't cry like a bitch when Stoner cried out for Dave Masters on his deathbed, only to alienate the only friend he ever knew
This book aged me t b h

What?
>>7713977
What's the best version of that book? The Original Scroll or the normal one?

English?
And in that case, what translation is the best one?

The last intelligible visit Gordon Finch has with Stoner is the one where Stoner cries out Dave's name. To me this was an affirmation of what they both knew all along, namely that they were only friends through Dave Masters and that lifelong friendship (easily Stoner's closest) was built on a foundation of mutual acquaintance.
That's not to say that they weren't good friends, but this last encounter serves as a reminder of what they both always suspected, and that hurt Finch in ways I can only imagine.
I don't know about destroyed, but the Bacchae, really really unsettled me. My friend played Pentheus in a production of it and I was left asking why? Why Dionysus? You've already forced a mother to dismember her own son and her father was trying to worship you the entire time Dionysus, why are you punishing him too?? There is no reason.

Original first, then read the scroll.
>>7716615
Why do you even read this kind of books? Just read genre literature if you just want to look smart and have fun.
>>7718402
A girl beat you up? I'd be aroused if that was happening
Smelted down and reconstructed me.
>>7713974
It's hard to argue that Stoner is 10/10
