Philip K Dick is my current fav author so I'd recommend A Scanner Darkly. Blows the movie away.

Just finished this about ~5 minutes ago. It's fucking phenomenal and you should read it. Excellent perspective on Bad Korea. BR Meyers has also done more recent talks on Kim Jong Un, which are pretty much required viewing after reading this book (he explains the Il Sung -> Jong Il -> Jong Un transfer of power in a very interesting way).

Gravity's Rainbow
Infinite Jest
Ulysses

>>11531230
>Infinite Jest
this

the outcast by Sadie jones

>>11530161
Not that ugly af edition for sure

>>11530082
Genre fiction is not effay

Trainspotting is the most effay book

Siddhartha, the stranger, the Catcher in the rye are gud reads

>>11531137

In case you feel like looking moody and unapproachable.

>>11531548
just read this and Eugene Thacker's Horror of Philosophy trilogy. Would recommend, mood and outlook on life was sufficiently depressed

>>11531230
>complains about reddit

it's bait right?

of the meme trilogy only Infinite Jest is even readable - the other two are just a complete mess

>>11531544
what are the background books

>>11530079
FUCK OFF

if ur gonna be a faggot and read philosophy for muh aesthetics in the public forum, stick with Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus or Aurelius' Meditations considering they both deal with arguably two of the most /fa/ of all things, suicide and stoicism.

Obviously you shouldn't sit down with a copy of the Ethics for some light bathroom reading, but his political treatise is very digestible. And, like I said, if that's not your cup of tea, >>11531228
is a perfectly good alternative, and much easier to approach on its own.

I have that same edition sitting on my book shelf, and I'm re-reading Heretics of Dune right now.
Anyone who likes Dune should read Asimov's Foundation Trilogy; it's similar in scope if not in subject matter.

Trumps 'the art if the deal' does the trick for me. It gets all the sensitive ladies swooning round me
