If I really enjoy Salinger's style, where else is there to go?
I've been looking for a while on my own trying to find others that bring out what he did but I cant. Joyce, Hemingway, and Carver are close but that's about it.
Any ideas?
Try Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson.

Good movie. I really loved it.
When used books purchased through Amazon are delivered, do they come to your door or your mailbox?
Depends on their size. Sometimes dropped on the door, others in the box.
Recommend me something to read on British Culture - preferrably 20th Century and beyond
Borstal Boy
White Teeth

Who was the killer in this book just spoiler it for me. I don't wanna read it i just wanna know who the serial killer is
An electric space heater

I read it, and I forgot. In fact, I forget if I finished it, but I think I did.
The book is too longwinded, with too much side bs, too much tryhard spooky snowy atmosphere, too contrived in its invention of weird WEIRD murders.
Note that Nesbo's Harry Hole was inspired by Harry Bosch of the Michael Connelly books.
Now, the best Harry Bosch books are page-turners, they are as good as crime fiction gets. You wouldn't make a post asking who the killer was, you would have just read the book, because the book would've grabbed and held your interest.
And Connelly's Harry is terse and to the point - probably because Connelly had a long apprenticeship as a working newspaper reporter - where Nesbo's Harry is sprawling and whiny in his contrived "brilliance" and "tragedy." Nesbo has probably researched the subject, but I doubt he has any of the working knowledge of police procedure or crime scene investigation that Connelly does, because Nesbo's books lack that smack of reality that Connelly routinely brings, except in the scenes where he shows us his hero's unhappy domestic life, which scenes feel alive with the complexity and richness of real life because they doubtless are informed by the writer's actual experience.
That said, it might be a good movie because good movies are usually based on mediocre novels rather than good ones. Apologies for the sperg.
Is twitter being cool and /lit/ new or have I been unconsciously blacklisting all of its references for the years I was browsing this board and didn't have an account.
I had Twitter for a few months to keep in better touch with my friends but even that is utterly worthless. Speak nothing of the other """content""" that's posted on there. Also

I want to read some Hunter S Thompson, but more focused on his ideology than his political stuff.
Where's a good place to start?
>>9810901
Fear and loathing is awesome, and so is hells angels.
The thing is, though, and this is coming from an enormous hunter fan, his ideology is nearly impossible to separate from politics. He was obsessed with politics, much more than philosophy, like the gurus of his time that he largely criticised. He was quite grounded in that sense, observing what was going on between people rather than within them.
>but more focused on his ideology than his political stuff.
i·de·ol·o·gy
ˌīdēˈäləjē,ˌidēˈäləjē
noun
a system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.
Where do I start with this monolith? Chronological, or go through from his most eminent to the more obscure works?
Also read his first sonnet today. Good stuff.
Look up the general plots and then start with the ones you relate to best. Engage with the text, don't just skim over it while wanking yourself off for reading something complicated.
About to read this. What am I in for?
