She was a chubby girl, I approached her gently. We sort of like cooking, went back to her flat.
Ok made love, wrote haikus
I haven't read a single post-modernist book but Sokal's critique is up next on my to-read list. I'm worried thats gonna make me get started on the wrong foot, what do you think
Sadly it only goes to single XL. It would have been an epic addition to my collection.
There's some debate on if post-modern is even a thing and whether we're beyond what "post-modern" is, ao really I just say read the books. Whatever catches your eye
Not sure which to read next, but it'll probably be either Don Quixote or Suite française.
>tfw still haven't read Don Quixote
I started it but being unfamiliar with chivalric stories, a lot of the humor/intent went over my head
>letters to vera
it's pretty bad tbqfwy
You should fix that and check out some Chrétien de Troyes, user.

>leaving the house more than once a month
Are you a 14 year old girl?
>Lolita English translation
you fucked up
This is going to sound absurd, but when your comment gave me a strange feeling. The action of looking at a shelf packed with books and choosing which to read gave me a nostalgic feeling. Not one of reading, but eating. As if you were to eat a book, in a bite. A bite-sized cubed book. And the books were crunchy, but had an inner caramel consistency.
I'm pretty sure I'm autistic. Fuuuck
Just ask for an XXL. Im sure it will fit you fine
Tao Te Ching
Still.
I don't buy a fucking book every day.

Waiting for this to come in the mail. Also just bought a Russian grammar book.
Candide by Voltaire.
This is how you write ("Így írtok ti") by Frigyes Karinthy.

Does anyone have the edition that includes the bit on Bergson? All the libraries I've access to only have the editions w/o and this goes for the torrents I've tried as well.

Don't h8 pls
That's a really good Hesse, far superior to any of his hippie proto-beatnigger shit like Steppenwolf or Siddharta
Why is it that in every meme thread some faggot has to fuck it up and post seriously?
What do you mean "post serously"?
I posted seriously.

I don't know which is the saddest.
Sure, here it is.
It was sheer luck, I found it on a used bookstore in México for like 6 usd (The owner is american so most of the titles are in english)
So far I've read The Beast in The Cave, The Alchemist, and The Tomb, all have been fantastic.
With Lovecraft, I'm just reading what strikes my fancy. I can take my time since I have so much of it. I'll tackle the Dunwich Horror and Call of Ctulthu soon
Haven't started it. I'm excited to read it though.
I like spice and wolf because boobies.
That is fucking gorgeous. Where do I get one?
2$ each. Don't know if I'll ever read them.
It really is, I couldn't leave the store without it.
There's a few copies on Amazon and maybe you could find it on ebay.
1 to 5 is a quick read.
>buying books just for show
I mean, they were absolutely cheap but at least make the effort to read them
Shouldn't you have done that first?
Just read them Sven, they're great.
cunt
Out of all the authors analyzed I've read Woolf, Homer, Molière, Stendhal, Flaubert, Zola, Shakespeare and The Bible; I'm okay with reading their parts now and reading the rest after I've read all of the remaining works Plus, I've got the book for a steal.
Hey, lovely.
What in the fuck
Nabakov wrote in english, dumbass
no lo he leido, pero está linda la edición. La edición se parece un poco a las ediciones de Einaudi
