The Divine Comedy

I bought a Chuck Pahluniuk novel once.

Never again.

>>7604906
Fuck, I bought that yesterday. Did I get memed again?

>>7605782
Read it yourself before conforming to others. There are still some that found it enjoyable

>>7604901
>tfw i read atlas shrugged completely in hopes that it would be good

Ayn rand a shit. I got nothing out of it, and I read we the living as well. Both were utter shite.

>you will never be a middleschool-evel ''philosophy''-based shitty writer with no substance or any talent that's published and widely read anyway because the Jews did world class shilling to make sure you're read

Feels bad man

Anything by Gaddis. He's trash.

Bought a book of Kafka's short stories to read Metamorphosis

Not only was that story shit, but all the short stories were utterly pointless banalities written in the most horrible stiff style I've ever read

Let me guess, you didn't get it? I guess time travel can be little confusing to lesser minds.

>>7606159
>writes like a thesaurus
>you must be a pleb not to like this!
I understood perfectly what Metamorphosis was about, it was just garbage. Gregor narrates like a robot and the family are the worst written characters I've read in a long time. They do only what is necessary to make a point, or later to advance the story. They flip flop between personalities like schizophrenics
>but the metamorphosis is really about the family
Yeah whatever, but it was done in a really shitty way

Don Quixote, Motteux translation

V. is tryhard bullshit. His true masterpiece is Crying.

A complete Jane Austen edition, costing me €40. not only is it boring as fuck but I also saw the same book for €20 recently. I would have handed it to my mum but she can't really read English.

Womack's sensless acts. Gibson was praising this shit so much.

infinite jest

hi pete

Complete collection of Shakespeare's work. Not because I don't like them, but because I'd rather see them performed than read.

What's the difference between Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged and the Fountainhead?

The Fountainhead burns hotter but Atlas Shrugged burns longer.

What?

Did you at least read Northanger Abby? it's her sleeper hit

>>7604919
it was a fun read on the weekend. it felt like reading a japanese comic, really.

>>7608911
to me doyle just put a lot of fancy words together with no beauty all in all
the stories are not even entertaining the only reason people read is just out of curiosity to see how the main character unveiled the mystery so quickly and logically
i know it was written in like 1900 or something and people back there were more eloquent but i think the writer was using them out of pure pedantry whereas he could have used more common words and achieve the same result
maybe im just rambling, it's been years since i touched it
