No, it was Turquato Tasso

>>9370548
That's even more disappointing.

>>9370033
Is it real? Yes. Do I believe it's real? No.

>>9370033
any proposition asserting that the world isn't real is self-refuting

it's certainly real but not necessarily Real

ah, blood meridian, monsieur? that novel is the sark and chaparral of literature, the filament whereon rode the remuda of highbrow, corraled out of some destitute hacienda upon the arroya, quirting and splurting with main and with pyrolatrous coagulate of lobated grandiloquence. our eyes rode over the pages, monsieur, of that slatribed azotea like argonauts of suttee, juzgados of swole, bights and systoles of walleyed and tyrolean and carbolic and tectite and scurvid and querent and creosote and scapular malpais and shellalagh. we scalped, monsieur, the gantlet of its esker and led our naked bodies into the rebozos of its mennonite and siliceous fauna, wallowing in the jasper and the carnelian like archimandrites, teamsters, combers of cassinette scoria, centroids of holothurian chancre, with pizzles of enfiladed indigo panic grass in the saltbush of our vigas, true commodores of the written page, rebuses, monsieur, we were the mygale spiders too and the devonian and debouched pulque that settled on the frizzen studebakers, listening the wolves howling in the desert while we saw the judge rise out of a thicket of corbelled arches, whinstone, cairn, cholla, lemurs, femurs, leantos, moonblanched nacre, uncottered fistulas of groaning osnaburg and kelp, isomers of fluepipe and halms awap of griddle, guisado, pelancillo.

the kid escapes and becomes the man, kills a kid who fucks at him about his ear necklace. then he meets back up with the judge at a bar where they watch a dancing bear get shot. the kid goes to the jakes and gets raped/killed by the naked judge hiding inside. then the judge goes dancing and lives forever

I've been spending more time here than actually doing things. I'm supposed to be rereading Moby Dick but I'm still on chapter 3

I know that feel. But I don't understand why I have that feel. I don't understand why books bore me. I guess that's not fair. Not all books bore me. But nearly every book has some parts that are boring. And more often than not, I'm bored. The intense feelings of interest and engagement only come every so often, and when they're over, it all feels like a lie. Was I genuinely interested? Probably, but it's strange that my feelings of interest flare up only every so often. I think I must be too much of a brainlet to read.

He'll like Survivor too, although considering that it has references to Fight Club, he'll probably want to read that first if he hasn't.

>>9369470

Oddly enough, not anything. I'm somewhat afraid of, uh, censorship. Mostly I'm just in a very passive state of mind though.

>>9369527

I have no idea desu. It's entirely possible.

Supermale by Alfred Jarry. Not as good as Ubu by a shot

If this isn't a poem trash it.

Nah. Stupid reading.

I like to imagine Slothrop with Pynchon's face but I don't see him as a self insert

Lay back and enjoy the ride down to WWIII, OP.

>evening in America
>the quality of /lit/ takes a hideous plunge and feelguys and pepes abound

Really makes me wonder.

Who seo we blame for this travesty?

>>9368962
Not being a brainlet works wonders for your reading capabilities

>>9368962
I don't understand people that care about how many pages a book is. Who gives a fuck. If it's good it's a blessing it's long.

>>9368962
>600 hundred pages
>60,000 pages
>4.58 times as large as the longest ever novel (page count, not words)
