I'm just bummed it has so few ratings on goodreads and it isn't as widely read as other novels from the period bc it's truly one of the best books I've ever read.
Love me some nyrb
This is the only NYRB book I own. I've only read The Pedersen Kid so far. Surprisingly amusing for a story about some random fucks in bumfuck nowhere. Maybe Gassposter might be onto something.
Have you read The Recognitions yet? If so you may wanna check out Gass's Middle C.
Planning on getting a few more of these, Warlock is the only one I own but it's a lovely book. Feels like a higher quality than Penguin.
Planning on getting Skylark since I want to read more Hungarian literature and Autobiography of a Corpse sounds very interesting.
I have, but I'm holding off on getting more Gass books until I go through the rest of Gaddis' stuff, which I have all of except J fucking out of print R.
I'm hyped for what they're putting out the rest of the year.
Henry Green (the best Green), new Walser, Doblin, two Bresson books, new Krzhizhanovsky
Also love these Green covers
skylark is my favourite ever
As good as Satantango, The Transylvania trilogy and Journey by Moonlight? Hungarian lit is pretty damn amazing.
Anyone here familiar with Elizabeth David?
Was thinking of getting this.
sure; it's literally my favourite book
i do love krasznahorkai something awful though
...
NYRB should be putting out hardbacks. These things will quickly disintegrate.
most nyrb have shit reviews. no thanks
So far I am half way through this; it is a good read:

I started it, but all the exclamation marks at the beginning put me off.
>MR. PAPENMEYER was ashamed of his celery!
>Look at it. Frozen, for one thing; coarse; brown; ill-natured. He let the stalks snap toughly from his fingers.
>Eric Papenmeyer could not find it in his heart to sell her celery, with celery in the shameful state it was!

I think it's someone from the tinychat, I'd asked him to post his NYRB Classics in a bookshelf thread once. He had over a hundred.
Wish you'd take a clearer picture though.
it chills out with that after the first chapter which is pretty short, took me a few starts to get past it
There's like 500 nyrb books, why do i have to have an excuse for not reading some of them.
I'd rather not take my chances
what books have bad reviews? and do you mean on goodreads?
well OP for starters. has 3.5 on goodreads. thus making it utter shit.
post your goodreads buddy :)
I don't have one
Then you sir, are a stupid faggot. Congratulations! If you give this ticket to my receptionist, Ms. Pennytackle, she'll hand you an appropriate t shirt.

Do you live in Poland? It is 19th century realism at its best. It is kind of like a polish war and peace.
Yes because Veeky Forums has enough traffic to make this a viable PR strategy.
>kindly kill yourself
reading this now and it's gr8
pic related is my favorite thing they've published
I just read Augustus and it gave me chills. So thats good i guess.
Not to mention that, according to the classified in the NYRB, they are actively targeting 50-75 year old intellectuals, retirees, and professors emeritus
has anyone read her other books? any hungarians on here?
This is my favourite. An amazing read.
