>Is this supposed to be funny
>I laughed

It's not supposed to be HAHA funny as much as intelligently comic. Much of the book is predicated on drawing attention to the oddness of otherwise ordinary daily reactions. Fear of death and fear of social suicide being issues for the novel's nuclear family. There's probably more but I've forgotten.

Also, the world's most photographed barn is supposed to reflect how people no longer even see the point of that barn. It's been photographed and reproduced so many times that the whole thing exists for no other purpose than as a tourist attraction. Nobody reflects on its use as a home for cows, or for storing tractors, or maybe even just for hiding out in after robbing a 7-11. It's just there to get people to drive in off the freeway and wile away an hour, take a picture and go home. It's like DeLillo's way of reflecting how people no longer go to museums for the purpose of actually seeing art; they go so they can snapchat shit to their mates.

No, it's supposed to be incredibly painful to read because it describes your life so well.

Think of an American Houellebecq-ian depressive realism.

If you're expecting any good reviews on Goodreads, you're just as much of a dilettante as this guy.

Antisemitic patriarchal structures that have hierarchies for the individual and a place for religions beside Judaism and Islam.

Your regular hollywood romantic comedy flick.

i think that women who read need to use it as a part of their personality. they all use goodreads. Not all men that read are pseuds, and im guessing a lot don't use goodreads

>>9573965
What purpose does goodreads serve?

anything by Tiqqun

No. However I do wish I hadn't completely stopped reading for non academic purposes after entering high school. Although now that I'm learning a new language I've started picking it back up.

Yes.

Do you write anything in your spare time ?

are they Kafka like satires about a programmer working in an office

I don't read everyday but whenever I do I read 20-80 depending on the book

Usually between 60-120 pages

I work in a quiet bookies so even whilst working can still hit the magic 100

Kafka didn't like leaving his home

I fucking love Yeats.
Where do people stand on the Byzantium vs Sailing to Byzantium debate?

At evening the autumn woodlands ring
With deadly weapons. Over the golden plains
And lakes of blue, the sun
More darkly rolls. The night surrounds
Warriors dying and the wild lament
Of their fragmented mouths.
Yet silently there gather in the willow combe
Red clouds inhabited by an angry god,
Shed blood, and the chill of the moon.
All roads lead to black decay.
Under golden branching of the night and stars
A sister's shadow sways through the still grove
To greet the heroes' spirits, the bloodied heads.
And softly in the reeds Autumn's dark flutes resound.
O prouder mourning! - You brazen altars,
The spirit's hot flame is fed now by a tremendous pain:
The grandsons, unborn.

>>9573499
Sailing to Byzantium is great
