Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

...

>tfw you will never fuck Mavis

...

Really would recommend to anyone interested in this sort of history.

I loved The Savage Detectives and this is pretty good so far too

the first meme book that I've unironically liked, so far.

The Virgin Limerick vs The Chad Epic

Is reading a book on Freud by a guy named Gay some kind of subconscious decision you made? How's your relationship with your mother?

This is the only non-erotica book Ive fapped to

He's written more books than he's read

I can't remember the exact bit but there was definitely something about a particular description of cunt that got me going.

...

you do realize those were ghost-written, right?

>implying a retarded football player could write a book in coherent english that people would wanna read

Even political commentators like bill o'reilly don't write their own books and the reason they don't is because they can't write anything that someone would want to read

I'm still slogging through this piece of filth. I hate it so much.

I always think back to the part about pussy smelling like lobster, as described in a scene about the old Jewish guy, and I start chuckling in public

Didn't like it either. Too many gimmicks, and it's kind of just boring overall. The stuff in the house is okay, but it's still Stephen King tier

yeah, I was leafing through it in a store and decided not to buy it. But I really liked the formatting of some of its parts.

Does anyone know any good ergodic literature or just literature that has a unique and active element to its typography but also has substance and isn't just an aesthetic gimmick?

DUDE DID I TELL YOU THAT I AM CATHOLIC? LMAO
ANALLY AND VAGINALLY
900 pages of pure faggotry

Went into it only for the experience. Apparently the term for the style of writing is "ergodic" literature. I thought both of the characters narratives were decent enough.

A poor man's Infinite Jest

Is IJ filled with endless pages of unnecessary pornography?

Be gentle anons

I started reading Illuminatus! today as well, OP.

100 pages in, strangely addictive but also pretty dated and just a bit silly I think. Long way to go but not what I was expecting. Read some other RAW like Prometheus Rising and Cosmic Trigger and they pretty much turned me into a paranoid schizo for a brief time. This book just reads like a mildly amusing pulp fiction on mushrooms

I've been reading much more nonfiction as of late.

King is fun, nithing wrong with that. That said I think The Stand is way overrated among King fans.

Honestly it gets so much weirder by the end. The appendices are fucking great too.

Have fun.

Nice.

How's high school going? Are you going to ask Sally to homecoming in the fall?

V. but I just put it down to read the Bhagavad Gita.

R A Salvatore's Collected Stories

>This prize-winning novel imagines nineteenth-century America through the eyes—and in the sparkling dialect—of an Irishman who emigrates during the Great Famine. Joining the Army, he is sent out West to slaughter Native Americans and fights on the Union side in the Civil War, nearly starving to death in a prison camp. Increasingly preferring to wear dresses, he has a romance with a man. By presenting these actions—whether cruel, noble, or tender—without judgment, Barry creates a sense of America as a huge canvas of juxtaposition and possibility, and of human life as something similar. “We have our store of days,” the protagonist says. “We spend them like forgetful drunkards.”

I have this on Kindle, so I just noticed there's a rainbow on the cover.

>the FREUD reader by peter GAY

I like fantasy :)

...

slam me pls

...

Why do you think he didnt write them? Just because he's more athletic and has fucked more chicks than you that means he has to be stupid? I can't imagine where that attitude comes from.

Can you please explain the * to me?

I read this in high school. Pretty entertaining, not sure if it's for realsies though.

You know the word "nigger" is censored like "n*gger"? It's like that

I'm reading some translated Italian UFO book from the seventies. It has a cigarette ad in it. It isn't UFOlogy though. It actually has a very non-presumptuous hypothesis about a secret that the US airforce has tried to leave behind regarding the ubiquitous discs over American skies. Good read. Don't think the cigarettes exist anymore though.

Mythology by Edith Hamilton

It really makes me want to read the original versions of the myths.

Good taste OP. Don't miss his secret history trilogy. Seems to start simple but grows in complexity as the MC ages and by book 2 has some of my favourite sections in any of his works.

It's probably on account of him claiming it was one of his best books in On Writing.

>NFL player Tim Tebow and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo have apparently split — and it's reportedly due to his virginity vow.
>"He was sending her love letters and cute notes and professing his love for her . . . She had to break up with him because she just couldn't handle it. He still hits her up, but she just can't deal with the sex thing. He's pretty adamant about it, I guess."
>A source told Us last month that the athlete thought Culpo was "a goddess." However, no goddess could make him change his sacred promise.

Try to be original

This book feels like it's about the childhood of a sociopathic Japanese school shooter.

I enjoy Mishima's prose though.

Radical castration is your only hope.

As opposed to gentle castration?

And anti-liberal propaganda, and more liberal propaganda and anti-propaganda propaganda, and every other type of propaganda.

Tons of athletes became writers, including football like Kerouac.

At the moment I'm reading Beatles by Lars Saabye Christensen.

It's great so far.

...

you seem like a faggot to me, maybe.

finished it today

How are you liking it?

I see myself in heinrich - but I'm only a few chapters. It also reminds me of the college town I'm in, and Murray is every liberal arts majors I've ever gotten high with.
