I guess you don't get replies if you don't post /r9k/ bait or personality faggottry.

Proves that we are a bunch of pseuds.

Oh my god yes I am so glad someone is talking about this

How much did you love it? I loved it so much. I even emailed the author a question about Cato's book being a reference to Macbeth. I just bought the sequel the other day but I havent started it because I'm still alight with having recently finished the first. It's cray good for a first novel, right!?

Not as hard as this guy

not very, he is dead

Joyce would just endlessly reply to himself for 400+ posts

> he learns spanish by learning spanish instead of learning french or portuguese and killing two birds with one stone

convince me to read past episode 1 in 2666

>>9279456
is the worst episode
5 is god tier

is spanish worth learning to read montaigne?

>>9279315
Thomas Browne should be read regardless. He's one of the best English prose writers ever.

>>9279315
You can just read him cold. He's pretty straightforward. I particularly enjoyed the section about Edward FitzGerald and the section about silk worms.

>>9279354
so he explains anything contextually relevant? Is it like Borges by any chance?

>>9279277
How about you go and read a few of his books. Look up what works of his are considered the best and read them. Then decide what they are worth to you.

You are not going to find a suitable answer to your question until you put in the effort yourself to figure it out.

Don't be lazy. There are enough lazy people in the world.

He's great.

Not edgy, philosophical, or experimental enough to be a /lit/ favorite, but great.

Will there ever be a post on /lit/ about a book that the poster has read, instead of
>Should I read this?
>Is this good?
over and over again?

This.

Why would I buy a book at full price? Also, part of the fun is reading something new/unknown.

I thought Jude was legitimately sympathetic at the beginning, and I thought it was well crafted.

Around the time he got together with the psychotic ablist abuser the book crossed over into surrealist suffering porn ala Brett Easton Ellis, and I lost my connection with the character

>>9279144
THIS book is some corny shit.

Literary fiction for Goodreads girls.

>>9279154
I agree, it was just waay too much suffering to me. When I read that part I thought it was supposed to be a nightmare sequence.

I did get fairly moved when Jude watches Willem accept an award on tv and thanks Jude last but that was because it was nice, not sad.

its not a postmodern novel

postmodernism = irony, brain, no heart
wallace = sincere, brain + heart

wallace rejected postmodernism and started a new thing

nobody knows what to call it yet

why are either of these editions preferable to the penguin classics?

>>9279591
Why is the Penguin preferable to either of those?

The Norton has 5 plays, essays and someof Ibsen's letters. The Oxford has a classic introduction, and it's rather unexpensive.

Where does wishing death upon every homosexual fall

>>9279034
not even on the chart; prejudice against gaysex bars you from the literary pantheon entirely. read your plato, child

>>9279052
This.

>>9279034
Maybe something pleb tier like Steinbeck might be up your alley, but even that is pretty homoerotic. Hemingway is typical 'straight tough guy fiction' but he comes off gay because of it.

There's literally no non-gay literature.

Hardly, I stopped trying. My student life consists of bullshitting the reading and starting my assignments the morning they are do.

i'm drunk. i just finished a project, and now i only have 20 pages to write in the next two weeks, so im taking a night for myself
