Why do you care.

It's a short enough and crap enough book on its own.

/tv/ is ten times the board /lit/ ever will be

>>9213609
This is /lit/, son. My favorite movie is books. Fuck on outta here.

It's a literal YA novel, we read it in 9th grade

>>9213456
I know it is, but it's still considered a masterpiece for some reason

What irrelevant details?
books pretty lean to me

incoherent mess

Haven't listened.
Big nose though.

>>9213465
Yea this love his music and i would love to roll and see him live but as far as his bipolar manic rants go man the guy just makes no sense.

Cop killer
Lets kill the cops tonight

Something about that song just gets me all hot and bothered. Its a really sexual song. I dont get hard, its like being really drunk and wanting to fuck but the dong has a mind of its own and is Forever Flaccid. You feel it coursing through you, youre ready for it, you wanna kill that cop who gives a fuck if he has a family, kids, thats a dead cop.

I'd like to see a review that isn't just a plot recap with some sparknotes analysis and "i really liked x". I want something I can't find on Wikipedia.

>>9213455
Can I get an example from a review you like?

Just adapt whatever you wouldve written as a novel into a screenplay and make a living that way

of course not, noone's ever done that

strict workout schedule would get you on the right track to a more active and motivated lifestyle. pick up a book on workouts and routines. i workout early so the rest of the day seems much easier. i also cook most nights, i feel better when i make something wholesome.

you could pick up a book on someone you find interesting and try to work like they do.

i really dont know any that really talk about habits and self help.

>>9213164
just be reasonable and dont look for motivation, stop trying so hard to over intellectualize it problems and be a problem solver.

This and The Wild Bunch covers it well enough. The western is effectively dead post Unforgiven.

>>9212959

>>9212909
Rich chad eats and fucks and worries.

Meh. Claudia Cardinale was a qt 3.14 in the movie. If she's not dead yet she's still probably a dried out old hag

Bread and circuses.

DFW's Federer essay just seemed faggy and overwritten. It's the piece of writing I think of when thinking about overwritten things. And when reminding myself that reading and writing are merely one way of experiencing things and actually pretty shitty in many cases. If I read 10,000 pages about maths I still would be shit at maths. I know that people will insult me and try to conflate reading as a means of learning maths and reading (books and articles) as an end in itself.

The DFW essay reminds me that books aren't an absolutely perfect and all encompassing medium like some pseuds like to tell you.

Also I can't stand this pseudo intellectual and faggy New Yorker / NYT po faced way of writing about shit

Pic related is a decent. Nothing really revelatory in it, but some fascinating case studies. Also, Angry White Pyjamas by Robert Twigger. An Oxford graduate lives in Japan for a year and studies a brutal form of Aikido. I haven't read any sports fiction if that's what you're after.

Yes quite a lot of people have read many Stephen King books.

Señor Toyota is better.
