This version of Propaganda has the most misprints I've ever seen. And they're terrible, blatant misprints like "than that" becoming "that that", the beginning or ending letter of a word is missing, or an entire word is missing. Nonstop throughout the book.

Read Dunces and Blood Meridian

Sorry about that m8, at least it's a short read. Found mistakes like that in my copy of IJ and it just slightly bothers me. How can you misspell baobab as baobob? It seems like something that would stick out.

Im reading Mythology rn
Tales of horror was a gift

how'd i do Veeky Forums ?

Let me know what Scoob says I should do about being single for 5 years.

To-read stack

Confederacy, Stoner, BM first
Cantos is required but make sure you're properly prepared
Throw Taipei in the trash

just be yourself

Thanks, Scoob.

>a confederacy of dunces

It's also on my stack and I've started it. I'm very underwhelmed so far, is it supposed to be funny? Satire is a very tricky genre IMO. Probably one of those books that you either love or hate but I'll push through.

Not tonight though. Also started odyssey & Orlando but I need a light read right now, what shall I go for?

>the importance of being earnest

Good shit user

i fucking loved winnie the pooh as a kid, i had a huge hardback full of stories & tonnes of vhs. still have both actually

unread 'shelf'. have a bunch that i torrented on my kindle too. i have my shelves arranged by editions (so all pingu modern classics are together, all vintage red spines are together etc.) so it ws a nice surprise when all my unread books fit perfectly together like this

...

Can you explain all the hate for Taipei? Pretty much everyone on this board hits it with the >into the trash meme but I want to understand why before I make the mistake of giving it a chance, which I'll probably make anyway considering I spent 10 dollars on it

HI, mate, got a tip take a big dump in that Morrissey Autobiography.

...

Poe is insanely comfy on those windy, brisk fall evenings. Would highly recommend with a cup of hot coffee and toast

>tfw half of these books will be unread forever because you just use them for studying

Delete this

what is with tao lin? Why do I always see it mentioned on lit?

Because he captures the zeitgeist for people now in their 20's pretty well.

Yeah I suppose a play is good advice for a light read.
After all it's a
>comedic tour de force
>windy, brisk fall evenings
It's past midnight and I'm still sweating like a pig in my room so maybe in a month or two

>spending 10 dollars on Tao Lin

But seriously, if you want to know what the book's like, just pick it up and start reading it yourself. You own the fucking book, just start reading it. Stop trying to impress people on Veeky Forums by posting what books you own and actually read a fucking book for once.

It's just kind of vapid DFW-without-the-intelligence prose and the minute events of a rather tedious millennial life. If you like Less Than Zero you might enjoy it but other than that, eh

what's it about?

This is the best book ever written.

STACK(S)

Think I may read Considet the Lobster or Masters of Doom once I'm finishe with Children of Dune.

Anyone read Masters of Doom? I'm very interested in non-fiction involving games. There is an EVE Online book that sounds cool too, but not sure.

Keely?

KEELY??

About Paul, basically a Tao self-insert, and the various details of his life in New York, on a book tour, and with his parents/ wife in Taipei

catcher in the rye is good. just get that easy book out of the way. and if you dont like it, fine. its not like it will take up a lot of time

Masters of Doom is great, read that shit. It's so interesting and entertaining all the way through.

>being this mad over senpai morrissey
what's your problem?

Nigger I was asking for people's opinions on why they dislike the book, I'm obviously capable of forming my own opinion given that I read the book but I obviously haven't fucking done that yet, hence why I am asking. Why dont you shuffle off to some shitty board and take your piss poor attitude with you

I have the EMU La Odisea.
EMU is really cheap and has a good variety in classics. Enjoy your reading mate.

Yeah I plan to breeze through it after a longer heavier book some time. I'm sure I'll dig it. I did just this with Brave New World earlier this year and thought it was a nice way to experience some of the high school classics.

Very excited for it!

Gravity's Rainbow and that Jung book are probably the only ones worth reading there unless you're really into Tolkien. The Children of Húrin is not going to be enjoyable if you aren't.

Why does DFW have such shitty book titles ?

He doesn't.

Then why does the book in that photo have his name on it ?

Cause he wrote it.

Then why does the book say "Consider the Lobster" on it ?

Why are you asking me these questions? I'm not going to break anything down for you here.

Because I want to know why that book has such a weird thing written on it if it isn't the title of the book.

I only hope you're pretending to be so dumb.

I'm not dumb, the person who designed that book is dumb.

I've got a lot of different stuff going on.

Man, I hate the quality of Penguin's but they always have the obscure and unabridged stuff.

The Arabian Nights; Micromegas; This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentleman; etc.

>I hate the quality of Penguin's
Whats wrong with them?

>Heine
well done lad, that's literature

Cute lil plushie

The binding isn't that good and too tight. I'm pretty anal about the feel of a book when reading, and they aren't as good as published by Norton or Dalkey.

Dalkey doesn't even publish the same books as them.

I agree with Norton though.

Woah thnks scoob I jst have to be a peace of shit.

>Morrisey biography
confirmed to be an eternal pleb

MIRRORS!! LMAO
