That's dumb.

I read chapters in reverse order, to solve the same problem.

I count the number of pages in every chapter so I can plan my reading

No wonder /x/ loves him so much.

Most of us live in actual houses so no we havent, but anyway just stick the books in a freezer for a weak

>>9272607
freezer for a few hours should be fine

>>9272607
I personally moved my books to a drier spot and haven't had issues since as none of the books were exactly damp themselves. free up that space in your house and get some black mould remover and just keep on top of it. make sure your house is well ventilated (open some windows for fucks sake) and keep that area open just in case if it never quite goes away

Anybody who says they're 'enjoying' Gravity's Rainbow is the biggest pseudo pleb.

I would understand being 'fascinated' or 'intrigued' by the book but it's honestly a massive slog and while I'm obviously projecting my own experience of the book, I am at least 99% sure that I'm 100% correct.

>>9272708
You're incorrect

>>9272516
Why does it say 'by' when the title's in spanish or w/e

>>9272536
The author is an idiot.

I read Luna de Plutón, the first book. It's terrible, both in timing and in form of writing.

>>9272516
Where can I find it?

>>9272476
If the reviews are good

No, but I do like the marble-like patina of his hand.

Nah, I'm not one for biographies.

Schopenhauer's body of work.

infographics like this seem to be a reddit thing
they made a subreddit for them and then it became a thing to show how scientifically literate you are by turning everything into "le data" and making nonsensical graphs of it

>>9272231
yeah, it's the perfect candy for insecure people who need someone to tell them what is good and what is not. sad that most people prefer to live in a grate instead of in the open air

The fact you needed to start a new thread for this is the most fucking retarded thing.

The Orcs in Lord of the Rings

>>9272184
Orcs are classist, Tolkien based them on poor people, ugh

4) Kys

>>9272123
1. Depends. If I get hooked up in a book it could go on days.
2. The same as above - usually 4-5 hours.
3. Zero - maximum, when I finish the book I reread once - although I only wrote one book, and several short stories.
4.8 hrs, 5, hrs, 0 hr

Why waste your time with all them now that they are obsolete

I bet you say "i'm not influenced by ideologues" don't you OP

>>9272085
Are you also a radical centrist? Harris fits into it I think

>>9272059

He was probably sodomized and killed, but also possibly eaten. There's no certain answer.

Yes, I think so. I'm not sure I would use the term supernatural. He's more like an inexhaustible force of nature/history, which I grant would make him "supernatural". I just don't think the word captures what McCarthy was trying to get at.

>>9272059
I always considered the Judge to be the physical incarnation either of Manifest Destiny or War in general.

>>9272059
The judge was probably a djinn

>implying that the difficulties involved in determining meaning are due to some property of intention and not the metaphorical, referential, and polyvocal structures upon which even the simplest of sentences depend for their legibility
