>mfw reading stoner

Cmon. Stoner is really good

Too profound for you, laddie?

It's good. I don't know if I'm reading too much into it but I think that is a neat idea that in a world with nothing, only those with nothing to live for are the good ones.
I'm talking specifically about the kid
Seems to me that only the people from the previous world are the ones that struggle with moral dilemmas

>mfw reading my diary desyu

Cormac McCarthy is a god of description

I'm tied between the train scene and the last paragraph for my favorite passages from the book

>reading the confederacy of dunces

>mfw reading the bible

(I havent read the bible)

Ah, but which one?

Tfw reading Kafka's metamorphosis

you can literally guess the ending from like the first page
i really dont get the hype for the book
its got some decent (if a bit too on the nose) prose thats kinda it

obviously the meme one

Who gives a shit about the plot, seriously

not me
my point was the novels not all that depressing when you know pop pop will bite the bullet before youve finished the first page
the prose is my biggest criticism, its just far too obvious. i did however love suttree and all the pretty horses so maybe its just this one

>mfw reading Robinson Crusoe

>tfw picked up the road when I was 14 and in HS
>almost finished reading it, on the last chapter
>it's like 3 AM and I have school the next day
>parents see that I'm still up reading and start yelling at me
>have like literally 2 pages left
>take the book into the shitter and try to finish it there
>they start knocking on the door and yelling again
>trudge through and finish the book
>come out of the bathroom in tears with a soggy book in my hand
Kinda soured the experience desu, but I still enjoyed it. I had bad luck with this shit, no one would bother me for the duration of the book/vidya/movie but right when I'm about to reach the end I'd get 30 different interruptions popping up outta nowhere.

>mfw reading Culture of Critique

When I was little I developed the idea that it is always rude to interrupt someone reading a book. That if you plan to, you should first see how much of the book is left, and if it's very little, unless it's an active emergency you do not break their concentration.

Nobody will ever have anything to say so important that it's worth soiling the end of a book.

>mfw reading Evola

only good one in the thread

>mfw reading her diary desu

By the bye, Jack London's The Road has some terrific chapters. In particular, the one where the girl gets whipped, and the one where he hops a freight and gets into an escalating cat and mouse game with a very determined train conductor.

>mfw finally getting around to reading le hyped silmarillion
