'Me battyhole rassclot bombaclot' posting was a thing here for a while when he won the Man Booker

Veeky Forums doesn't read much

Shut the fuck up

I still refer to things as "bumbaclot fuckery"

its like he could see into the future. scaryly relvant.

I always wondered what the precursor situation for 1984 was.... I think we're seeing it in present day america

David Foster Wallace.

Stole the words right out of my mouth. 99% of threads are either memes or trashing him.

Jim Harrison
Peter Matthiessen

I liked Legends of the Fall. Harrison is probably just too on the nose for most of Veeky Forums to care about discussing

I saw you in the Spanish thread. Thank you for this reccomendation.

>Peter Matthiessen

"Dr. Pavel.."

nice b8 m8

Liu Cixin

I wish that would come back. No irony my dude, I think the Jamaican patois has a great rhythm to it and should be played with more for some fun playful prose.

Lines like "batty gon fuck a bullet" are great.

I can't believe this joke got so many replies taking it seriously.

There's one thing and one thing only that the mods could do to immensely improve the board, instantly, overnight, and that's facilitate more threads about David Foster Wallace. Create them, nurture the ones that exist, guide the discussions, and make sure they stay on track. If we're here to discuss literature, ultimately, we are here to discuss David Foster Wallace. There is no way for a person to grasp the full implications of Infinite Jest and not realize this. We're talking about the smartest man who ever lived. You must realize this. It's not a joke anymore. We're seeing the world degenerate further and further into chaos, and we're standing by and watching it happen. You want to fix this board? You want to fix the world? You want to fix your life? You need only take one step: read Infinite Jest. There is no substitute for hard work, and that's what Wallace requires of you if you are to understand him. If you are to understand not just him, but the world. We're not talking about escapist literature, fan fiction, genre nonsense. We're talking about saving our lives. We're talking about meditating on God. We're talking about communing with the primary presence. This is not an issue to be treated lightly.

Steven Rinella

>scaryingly relevent
supreme bait

very low quality b8.

Tolstoy, Alexey

>me gonna shoot ya rassclaat throat so ya can hear yiself die, battybwoy.

Lawrence Durell. (He's actually good.)

>being this brainwashed.

people are right. 1984 is about the present day...its not a prediction at all. we're already here.
