Is this board so barren of talent and pride that there is not a single small poem of real worth to be presented to a visitor?

stopped reading there

so engrossing that you couldn't help yourself from making a worthless thread on /lit/ to insist about how enthralled you are

What's the problem

I doubt it. Reading requires more mental work than watching a film.

all of the meme trilogy is actually pretty bad by modern entertainment standards.

Lord Jim, for the impact it had on me when a child. If you liked Nostromo, read Victory.

>I've read The Secret Agent which I thought was strikingly prescient

It was inspired by a newspaper account of a failed anarchist bombing. It wasn't prescient. That stuff was going on back then too.

Drop it and read something you like. I haven't read The Recognitions but JR was a big disappointment for me.

I'm not convinced he's on the level of Pynchon, or that Pynchon was influenced by him (even though Inherent Vice is a line taken from The Recognitions - that's late Pynchon). The similarities people perceive is because they both read Norbert Wiener.

>>9305700
if you dont like the first 100 pages it might be best to drop, it only gets worse

>>9305700
Wow sorry guys. This is all my fault. I've spent the past 2 years memeing gaddis but I've come to realize you are all too stupid for him. Especially after the disastrous j r thread yesterday.

Wait! Hark! I've'st'd'ly just found this gem of a relic of an artefact, indeed, I shall read IJ in all its splendour for this video, herein, has convinced me of its Genuineness.

thats accurate. the recommendation part i mean.
its why most 4channers like it.
but most of them dont get it either.
the sad truth is i think the people most primed to "get" the book are also not the target audience

>>9305689
My dear fellow, I daresay, you should really work on your Capitalisation, grammar and syntax -- I must say!

For read: babybook, never written.

>Damned
Invisible Monsters or Rant are his best books, Damned is WAY down the line.

Why would an American and a Scotsman have cockney vibes? None of those three are similar at all.

>>9305623
I can't really recommend you anything since I've only read a book by each (Porno and Fight Club) but neither are as bad as /lit/ makes em out to be, they're good "soft" lit if you get me, the sort of authors you read when you don't really wanna grapple with a "literary tour de force"

it's pretty good

>>9305518
no

Yes, being a cuck is fashionable these days

And yet you still made this post.

Why did he Plato and Aristotle so much though? Why did he hate philosophy so much that it lead him to such categorical statement about one of the first movers of contemplative thinking?

It took the West until the 20th Century to catch up to Lao Tzu.

The book seems to be intended for instructing people who don't normally read (I get this mostly from the title). It's basically saying, 'Read the book once over really fast. Don't worry if you don't get it the first time, you'll go back and get it!'

Rereading books is valuable, and to readers that is obvious (particularly if you actually like the book). But, those who aren't readers might not know this or, by themselves, have the genuine willingness to reread something. So, the reread not only has to be coached but seemingly contextualized as the actual part when the reader begins to put effort into understanding the book (and the first go-thru was merely preliminary).

Read the Qo'ran instead, vile Almania scum.

The most important pieces of German literature are Luthers Bible translation (Pretty much the base of the German language, one of the books with the biggest impact in the world) "Das Lied Der Niebellungen" (ancient Germanic folklore, first narrative story to be turned into a book in Germany), everything from Goethe (most important German author, Werther led to a suicide wave, good example for romantic literature and Faust is the national play of Germany, he worked half a century on this), Mein Kampf, das Kapital (cultural impact) and Zarathustra.
