seriously. Writing like him more and more, whether for good or bad

you and the other 10,000 bourgeois white guys

>seriously(and I do mean1 seriously). Writing like him2 more and more(and more and more and more 3), whether for good or bad(though ultimately a meaningless distinction)

1 Mean not average but meaning4
2 David Foster Wallace
3 And more and more and more
4 What is meaning anyway?

Everyone on Veeky Forums is a bourgeois white guy

Oh wait, actually I think I see your point.

Give me a better horror author. You fuckin' can't.

Just fuck my shit up senpai

Real futurism means staring directly into your own grave and accepting the slow but thorough obliteration of everyone and everything you know and love. Does this sound like fun? It can be. Just don't expect it to move a lot of product.
-- Bruce Sterling, The Future?

Any book recommendations? He seems interesting.

I'm reading Dr. Bloodmoney and really enjoying it, even if it isn't as out there as some of his his best-known books.

...

After a lot of deliberation I have to say it's Bulgakov

Who dis?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Ligotti

Most people start with his short story collections Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe: His Lives and Works. I did too, they are mostly good. Another fan favorite among the disillusioned is The Conspiracy against the Human Race.

...

I'm also reading Timothy Archer at the moment.

I'll never understand why PKD fans like Flow My Tears so much. I'd do a ranking of his novels but I can't be bothered. I'll just say my favourites are:

Eye in the Sky
High Castle
Time-Slip
Palmer Eldritch
Androids
A Maze of Death
Deus Irae (underrated)
Valis
Galactic Pot-Healer
A Scanner Darkly

Ubik is overrated as fuck while also being fascinating. I have a strange relationship with that book. Radio Free Albemuth and The Divine Invasion are fucking slogs. Valis and Timothy Archer (so far) are the superior religious novels of his late period.

>Goofs and Gags: Slav Edition

No they don't. They start with Teatro Grottesco or My Work is Not Yet Done. Your two suggestions are generally regarded as bad.

Am I in Crazy Land here? Nobody suggests those.

> doesn't get roasted

i guess i should have mentioned a meme author like Dick or Gass or Pynchon. what happens if you take a thread seriously instead of playing the game.
