bookshelves this tiny genuinely make me a bit sad

>>9245706
yeah but 3 of those books take a short lifetime to read.

>>9245706
It's obviously a joke. Hence the 3 different copies of Art of the Deal and the meme trilogy.

>>9264585
Just give it another read and, this time, try to think more analytical and critically, friend.

Meet me at the truck stop, the TA, on i-80 at midnight. I will instruct you

>>9264593
Thanks, my guy.

Richard Evans' trilogy is a better option, but honestly that book is still a good read.

I think it's well written and entertaining.

>>9264666
I'm looking for something perhaps more informative

Wut?

>>9264433
That's stupid, son

The poem is just stupid, fucking millenial aesthete Tao Lin a shit

I'd say Robbe-Grillet got the closest to that.

Lots of books of poetry desu.

>>9264272
it's just not gonna be a novel

>>9264053
wiggle your eyes a lot to get used to moving them faster

Read two books at once.

God Is Not Great is a far more damning critique of religion than The God Delusion... Dawkins just doesn't have the literary flare that Hitch did.

>>9264040
He'll be remembered as a debater, not as an author.

>>9264237
>>9264243
I didn't particularly like God Is Not Great to be honest senpai. His debating style doesn't lend itself to writing in my opinion.

>>9263768
Because you're tremendously lazy presumably.

>>9263775
What makes me lazy? If something is written pretentiously or too archaically for my liking, I usually put it down.

>>9263783
>literature should conform to my tastes

Russian isn't even on the list.
Also, I wish there was vintage I could watch without that braindead ham man Randy Buehler shitting up every week.

*Stop using big words that don't fit, you hormone-drooling syntax-rapists.

Of course big words are ok, sometimes. But I am very frustrated with how modern culture talks about issues. We talk too much in "groupings", i.e. saying that a certain position is too capitalist or socialist or authoritarian. Instead of simply talking about the issue directly, or the resources needed, or the amount of power it would require.

I've never read the books, but I think that the movies do a great job of creating comfy scenes. Despite how much gripe HP may get on this board, Hogwarts makes one want to curl up in a blanket with a hot glass of apple cider

>>9263428
Good. I am going to read Seiobo There Below.

>>9263447
Translated?

>>9263451
Yes, unfortunately. I have Spanish and a small bit of French and Basque under my belt, and I think I'll move on to either German, Latin or ancient Greek next. Do you think I should move directly on to Hungarian?

Also, my good Hungarian, I am wondering how well you like his massive sentence-blocks. Do you find them forced at all?

>>9263292
Read more Camus. The plague if you're depressed

>>9263292
I'm sure you have heard of it, but I'm gonna type it out anyway.
Les Misérables
