Does anyone have the other ones?

Imagine pic related but stretched out into a book

...

He got my name and can't get a gf too, so I'll check it.
Is it good?

It's above average, I thought harshly of it at first, but it's one of those books that keeps you thinking about it even after you've finished, whether you liked it or not.

I skipped the footnotes as well, they're basically little tidbits of history written from the author's perspective that don't really add to the story.

I always imagine the author writing this and kissing his fingers calling himself genius.

I got him to sign my copy of Heart of Darkness

I think you should replace that last image with a man of russian descent simultaneously fucking a butterfly and an english dictionary. Thanks.

DUDE CONSUMERISM LMAO

It's kind of ironic how he pushes "geek culture" as a universal good that's in danger of becoming monetized by the evil corporation when he's shilling the same kind of pandering bullshit himself.

kekd

what was the point of this entire page? what was he thinking? do people really enjoy this?

>I burned the midnight oil
>Did you know that Midnight Oil was an Australian band bla bla bla

What's the point of making a subtle reference when you're just going to explain it in the next fucking sentence?

is this really from the book?

pretty accurate

...

Anyone got an infinite jest one?

Why does she have dark hair?

Such a shame that you have to pay in order to read the doujins at Fakku.

Jules Verne is comfy to the extreme. I remember reading 20 000 leagues when I was 10. At one point Nemo asks one of the main characters "How well do you know your history of Spain?" I don't know if it translates well in english (and I am making a very personal lecture of the text) but "your" history of Spain was a kind of wonderful revolution for me. This Nemo man lived in a submarine and expected (french) people to know the history of Spain! Of course it was only extraordinary to a 10 year old french boy learning the basics of the basics of french history, but I think this intellectual interest that was showcased in this scene of the book was one of the things that kept me reading and got me interested in history and literature.

Five Weeks in a Balloon is still my favorite.

This is the only one I have laughed at. Send me some (you)s if you think you can top this:

...

I'll make you one

Here you go

...

hehe, i like your memes

How was this published?

Thanks, you too!

please, don't do this

The laziest writing I've ever seen in my life
>hmm I don't really have a lot to write about
>I'll just fill it with a shit ton of 'nerdy' references and call it good
The sad thing is there are people who love this book
The thinking process behind it must be something like "wow I get this reference therefor it's good". When they see a reference they know, dopamine just starts firing in their brains.
It's like Where's Waldo for pseudo intellectual self proclaimed nerds

Gaddis does the same exact shit in The Recognitions except with 'good' art yet you idiots never say anything bad about it

...

Please go into the fantasy thread and tell Wolfe fags the same thing.

0/10 it's like you ddint even read the book

Ehhhh

Not really, maybe I should reread it though.

Hot oc.
R8 me senpaitachi.

that's just a painting by Balthus, who often did painting about little girls in lewd poses or situations.

But anti-Stalinism, though.

...

It's a satire of Stalinism so I think it's justifiable to have Stalin in the got section. Sanders though...

Yup. That was me as well, and very likely everybody who's picked up that book for the past couple decades.

the 'what I got' section applies to all murakami novels

...

not very good

How fucking ignorant would you have to be to not know what Animal Farm's about? It's not exactly a big twist, or a secret.

every time

This has copypasta potential

The book must be a post-ironic masterpiece

A lot of people really don't realize that Orwell is actually a socialist too. High schools usually ignore that part when they teach the book.

...

...

I cant tell if this is sincere or not. As it continues to go on and on, it reminds me of the way I used to write when I was 11.

same with Proust. I don't think you get the point though

Mon nègre.
Pour la peine je fais me relire L'île mystérieuse qui était mon préféré.

Yeah. He fought amongst POUM --Partido Obrero de Unificación Marxista, a Catalan Trotskyist party-- ranks during the Spanish Civil War.

...

Which explains why Snowball is not truly a bad guy and Napoleon a fucking tyrant?

Sick, now I really want to check it out.

...

Do it. The books actually deliver and are quite a fun read.

Will do. Thanks user.

yep it got pretty disgusting at times with all the talking about shit

That's factually wrong though; they're integral to oscar's mother.

oh my god it just keeps going
>I memorized every last single Bill Hicks stand up.

It's a detail from wikiart.org/en/balthus/girl-and-cat-1937

no

You got vaporwave?

...

...

I expected/got the same, but I much prefer what I got.

Probably the best military sci-fi. Way better than that space opera bullshit.

Yep, it's about the Stalinist corruption of Socialism with Napoleon standing in for Stalin and Snowball as a legit socialist

...

fresh oc

OC from a really long time ago but never posted for some reason

You don't need to know the workings of the Trujillo era to know Oscar's mother
