Well I realised that you weren't a reader.

should probably read at least his first three novels before letters because it plays off his already established characters from floating opera, end of the road, sot weed factor, chimera, giles goat boy, and ambrose from the lost in the fun house short stories
>>7961453

Have you seen many silent era and classical hollywood movies? If not Deleuze will be very difficult to understand.
>>7962291
Yeah, I am interested in what he has to say about Gance, I have watched both J'accuse and La Roue.

>>7961416
i was going to pick up the first one but the cover is complete garbage.
not judging the book by its cover, i'm sure its great,
Do you buy VHS tapes, too?
What do you guys do if you accidentally purchase a book with pen markings in it? I know many people don't mind it, but the notes are pretty stupid so it's bothering me a bit.
It's only a few pages so I managed to miss it. The store doesn't accept returns, should I try to ask anyways?
>>7962395
your fucking retarded
>>7962395
If it's only a few pages, just deal with it. Who cares? It's a used book, so it's not like it was immaculate in the first place.
>>7962398
My "fucking retarded"?
Invitation to a beheading
The complete short stories of Flannery O'Connor
>>7963609
I recently revisited To Kill A Mockingbird, it was so much better reading it now than when I first read it as a kid. Hope you enjoy it!

>>7962392
Books never become obsolete.
>>7961426
Plebs are always desperate to show off their belongings and be praised for them.
How about you just read the books and stop attention whoring. We get it, you're so smart and deep because you own books. Christ.
>>7963820
As far as I know both are actually accepted transliterations
>>7962353
Isn't this a Shinto torii gate?

>>7965669
>asking for approval
could you be more servile?
>>7965721
I mean, Ocean Sea was 12 dollars, to put it in perspective. And I'd rather my local bookstore not sell me nearly-new books for a dollar a pop, I actually like them being in business.
>>7965735
>Being this obsessed with the master/slave dichotomy
You're not the übermensch, you're on /lit/. Stop trying to pretend you're an alpha and accept the pegging.
>>7964724

Fallada is cool, I'm reading Wolf Unter Wölfen right now and can recommend his memoirs in Damals Bei Uns Daheim as well, it's shorter but remind me of Zweig's Welt von Gestern
>>7965669
>buying new books
>>7965907
Why the fuck would you read a fucking novel longer than 1000 pages do you even do anything in life besides reading?
>>7962330
I met Jeff Vandermeer once. I got him to sign my book but I haven't read it yet. It was kind of scary talking to a famous (for lit) person. I asked him a question about writing.
>>7965669
I don't think I've ever read a book quite like Ada.
>>7965715

>>7966560
You aren't actually mad
>>7966602
It's always worth checking out antiquaries or finding out if your university/faculty's giving away books for whatever reasons
I start feeling increasingly fucked up the ass if I'm forced to pay more than like a dollar or two per book
>>7966593
Of course, caps was the Russian lit to my Japanese lit.
It seems like he still logs in to Goodreads, just hasn't updated anything he's read in years. Wonder what happened.
>>7961404
>putting sartre and celine in same stack
way to dishonor people, fag
>>7964528
They're incredibly cheap and you can get all the great classics in the best translations/editions for no money.
The Great Gatsby sucks ass though. Shouldn't be there.
