Being the exact opposite of what it claims to be is a little too on the nose.

>All ideas about what Society is and how to successfully be part of it rest on the foundation of Self-denial

No, that's just liberalism that sprung off from Hobbes who created state, government to deny the nature of men.

>reading poetry
why

>>9639640
you can but why would you, it's a great poem and one of the remarkeble things about it is the way in which ovid strings them all together. It's not even that long, so you might as well.

Read the works of the famed author, Elliot Rogers.

>Also what books have made you laugh?

Gravity's rainbow. Does someone know how to sing the banana song?

A confederacy of dunces.

I guess you should be a funny person in order to have that ability.

Christopher Moore - Fool
and David Sedaris. I'm not sorry especially this passage:
>I turn my back for two minutes and there you are with your tongue pressed against that light switch. Maybe they do that where you come from, but here in my classroom we don't leave our seats and lick things whenever we please. That is Miss Chestnut's light switch, and she likes to keep it dry. Would you like me to come over to your house and put my tongue on your light switches? Well, would you?”

>I tried to picture her in action, but my shoe was calling. Take me off, it whispered. Tap my heel against your forehead three times. Do it now, quick, no one will notice.

>“Well?” Miss Chestnut raised her faint, penciled eyebrows. “I'm asking you a question. Would you or would you not want me licking the light switches in your house?”

>I slipped off my shoe, pretending to examine the imprint on the heel.

>“You're going to hit yourself over the head with that shoe, aren't you?”

the last time I tried to read it to someone I couldn't pull it off because I kept fucking losing it.

Then again, what I find funny is usually like this- I imagine how funny a situation would be to be in a room and see it happen and THAT'S what I find funny. I don't know why

don quixote's slapstick

Should have the first time round. Thank you kind friend for the spoonfeeding.

If you are getting into the literary world for the money, don't.

My book came out month and the sheer amount of backstabbing and selfishness is staggering.

That being said, I am making close to nothing, and will continue to do so unless I sell >1k books. Which will simply never happen, being a poet.

do published JSTOR articles count?

>>9639368
I pay my editor to publish my books

>>9639089
Pirate bay prolly

I looked already, I tried a whole bunch of different search terms and nothing. I tried b-ok.org, I tried just googling and jumping through hoops in websites. Nothing doing.

wouldn't ice cream sales being up be a good thing? do they mean prices?

He looks like a comedian whose only jokes are about alimony and child support.

>Married to a real battleaxe

Gene Wolfe looks like a joyous walrus.

Because is the same shit.

>why can't we all just learn to be common sense catholics instead of getting caught up with dumb romantic bullshit?


You missed the point

>>9638904
Quixote's a tragic figure who willingly chooses to go insane rather than live his banal life and that by willingly embodying virtues that are outdated, if not ever even existing in the first place, he's paradoxically just as, if not more heroic as the legends he hopes to emulate. This makes him more or less the very first existentialist hero.

What's the Edda written in? Classical Norse ?

I really don't give a shit what order you read your books in. Is your ego that weak and pathetic you need 4chan to validate your fucking book receipts? Grow a pair.

>>9638639
Yes.

I'm about 100 pages into this book now and I'm only just finding it within me to enjoy the really long descriptive passages that break up scenes

I had to go through the same thing with the sound and the fury except with the pov style (my first real flow of consciousness novel since a portrait) so I'm not mad

I can't think of a worse book to make into a movie though

>>9639613
tell me that once you finish it. I dare you
