Depends on quality.

Is Bloodborne scarier than At the Mountain of Madness and It?

Any fantasy stories with a cute kid being protected by the protagonist? (even if it's only temporary)
I want them parental feels.

Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Gray Mouser is some comfy stuff. I've read two of these tales now; tonight, The Thieves House from 1943. Leiber combines comic book moments with genuinely tense scenes (Fafhrd in the dark cellar, feeling something small and hard brushing his cheek.) In this and the previous story I thought the swordfighting stood out - better than I can recall from the handful of Robert Howard's Conan stories I have read, because I could visualise the parries and lunges clearly. Leiber is set to above Howard in my estimation if the next few readings are of the same quality. But I will read something by Howard this week so I can put together a clearer idea on what distinguishes them, and see where Howard's writing beats Leiber and the reverse.

This is also a nice one, wish there was more Homer/Virgil art.
I thank God for Gustave Dore and his great taste, too bad he wasn't able to do more.

This is my favorite quote:
"My mother one day told me that I should become a writer, because I had some talent in writing. That was strange to hear. For my whole life I was never talented at anything I tried. I was too physically weak to play sports with other boys when I was little; I never became professional at skateboarding no matter how much I practiced; and I was never that skilled at any video games I played… even World of Warcraft."

If you understand why you want to avoid it, you will. But if you cannot internalize why you want to avoid it, your efforts are futile.

Heh, let me tell ya something, kid:

You ain't seen shit yet. You think I'm out? I'll show you I wasn't even down. I'm a one man army, and I refuse to die.

I'll pass

>>9511879
This is literally some of the gayest shit I've ever read. It's literally cucked with a feminist spin on things.

Also clean your fingernails you damned dirty hippy.

Fuck always women and men. Anyone read smugglers, history or actress?

in the basement

On my computer or in a notebook

The bar up the street if I intend to socialize.

Some cozy cafe if I wouldn't mind socializing.

At home if I just want to concentrate on writing.

We don't read him he my man. Check out reddit.

>>9511769
Loved it. Humboldt's Gift was great too. Augie March took me 3 or 4 times of restarting cause its really fucking boring at first, but ultimately became an american classic. Don't know why he not discussed much here. The odd thread about him usually dies out before 10 replies and those usually point out that he's a kike or something.

>saul bellow

Easily one of the better authors who are never mentioned on /lit/. He's generally gone out of fashion a bit.....and obviously he's Jewish which infuriates some chantards.

Augie march is by far his best book, although herzog is pretty good and underrated

>>9511731
A moaning cum across her face. It has happened before, but he's trying not to think about that now.

I was almost killed in a car accident.
Yes it "accelerated" my ambitions.
It convinced me to pursue comics over literature to avoid intellectual posturing and lean towards artistic honesty. I don't particularly care for "success". I don't particularly care for artistic merit. I don't particularly want to open up about it but it wasn't as profound as one would imagine.

semions?

It's very cryptic, but something like dialectics not happening temporally as in Hegel but at a standstill. The dispersed fragments of history contain multiplicities of layers/meanings that dialectically play into eachother. But they are grasped in moments, where a fragment of history flashes up in the mind's eye of the dialectical materialist.

It plays into and is connected to his critique of narrative in historiography and linearity in time as inherently authoritarian. History breaks down into images, not stories. Dialectics are not about grasping a progressive ordering in the linearity of historical time (hegel/marx), it is about grasping the rubble of history as it fractures up momentarily and to create something new out of it through child-like play.

>>9511363
And to re-present history by working through the multiplicities/layers of meaning in the fragments of history, to save what has been hidden by the 'fascist' tradition

It's a good book..
But I give up.
Punch line?

>now

>>9510880
Wow. After I read it I just went on to something else without the feel that my sexuality had been alerted in the slightest. But perhaps I read it wrong. Or poorly. Or something.
