My dad is working on a memoir about his time as a Serbian soldier during the Srebinica massacres if that counts. Set for release early next year, albeit in Serbian

He inspired a lot of great new techniques in advertising, ironically. (guerilla marketing, detournement)
I like his concepts on psychogeography. Lifestlyist radicalism is in my opinion a function of spectacle too. Read Franz Fanon instead. That dude was the best of the existentialist Marxists.

accurate

>>9646701
"The spectacle is not a collection of images, rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images."

I think this is the most succinct description of our world. I won't go as far as to say that all philosophy afterwards is irrelevant, but I think this is the fundamental starting position for all thinking since.

I should really get to reading that book someday.

Fuark why is there no Confederacy of Dunces movie starring Nick Offerman???? Better than John Candy would've been imo.

does anyone know what the original ending was?

by pissing in my diaper and throwing it at pedestrians on the beach

LOL
This foolish OP just posted an upside down photograph!
what a moron!

"Joyce chose the date as it was the date of his first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle; they walked to the Dublin suburb of Ringsend, where Nora masturbated him."

I can't stop laughing.

Luring in the stamina of the campaign, the willows only sifted through a small percentage of the stench of the open sewer main upwind of the conference hall. Many of the staunch citizens approached their seats with a grimace of disgust and a gush of vomit splashing against the back of their throats, wondering what they'll have to agree to that day just to keep their fingers inside. Little did they realize that their hair cuts were in vain, and it was simply an execution of an aboriginal at the expense of the high royal society of Lieught Scleoupo. There was much revulsion at the sight of the blood of the native, which always served to titillate the impressionable revolutionaries, who had so much to prove with so little power to do it, they typically backed down from dissenting parties on a rate of 30% after that, which is tweaked magnificently later on in life when stocks are established to their social security numbers.

I use books as coasters on my coffee table. It's a new coffee table and I don't want stains but I'm not wasting money on circular pieces of porcelain just so they get dirty from the base of cups and mugs. Shitty books provide a fine enough coaster.

Cracking the spine is fine (I encourage it - you don't want to look like a faggot who hasn't read any of his books now, do you?)

eReaders are more cost-effective but I'd rather have a physical book that I can use as a coaster.

I once came into the middle of a library book and returned it like it was no biggie.

I steal books from book stores if they're in the public domain. It's not really stealing though if nobody owns it.

T B H, I feel similar. If it wasn't for one day I wanted a break from /mu/ and /v/ and I came here for opinions on the few books I had read back then, I probably would be a pretty casual reader which would be a shame as I have discovered some of my favourite books through recommendations and discussions on here (Moby Dick, Crime & Punishment, Don Quixote, King Lear, Dubliners, etc). Shitposting and /pol/posting aside, I do enjoy my time here and it's made me appreciate reading more.

just read all of ficciones

circular ruins lad

>>9650777
just read them all, they're all pretty good (if similar)

make sue you read up on them afterwards, i.e. follow the references to other texts and people (use a guide for the more cryptic references). Improves the experience a lot

also read Eco's stuff afterwards, his stuff is like the novel form of Borges

John Dies at the End
Dresden Files
Horns (Joe Hill)
Hounded series (Hearne)
I just realized I don't actually know that many books, which surprises me.

Fagle is recommended often here.

I was looking into getting Audiobook versions of Fagles'a translations for both The Iliad and The Oddesey, but I can find an unabridged Fagles of the former. This is on audible anyway.

Who the fuck is that?

the oddysey sucks, the only reason anyone reads it is because a bunch of other people did and referenced it, a lot like the bible

Yes it explains how the female spirit is as important as the male and that without each other nothing would exist

Lao Tzu does a better job at explaining than me though
