I have read Terence McKenna, Deleuze and Guattari for the philosophy that could be behind party and drug use.

For the '60 hippie movement, Elektric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe, Junkie (even if Burroughs would be a predecessor) and Philip K. Dick for the mental drug-induced (in)sanity. Also Pynchon for the paranoia.

I want to move forwards and get into the 90 and XXI century.

Tao Lin could be a good option if it was not because he is more about the hikikomori part of this epoche and not the arcaic revival as McKenna says. Something, maybe, in that line, could be interesting.

Of course there should be contemporaneous and young authors because the point would be they to have lived that.

So I don't know, maybe in general authors who born arround 70-80?

Also Preciado is a fucking must but I don't think anyone here knows or could be interested in him.

Take a look and evolve, you filthy bio-human.

if you use quotes to prove your point you are fucking stupid: ever

If you're a conservative you are heartless or uneducated, if you're a liberal over 30 you are a minority, poor, or middle class

Define conservative.
Define liberal.

No. I don't know what you want, so here are some classics (pre-1970):

>The Worm Ouroboros – E. R. Eddison
>The King of Elfland's Daughter – Lord Dunsany
>Lud-in-theMist – Hope Mirrlees
>Titus Groan – Mervyn Peake
>The Fellowship of the Ring – J. R. R. Tolkien
>A Wizard of Earthsea – Ursula K. LeGuin

I'm so glad that I never fell for this meme. Why do normies always recommend such shitty books? I had this recommended to me so many times when I was younger.

It was reddit years before reddit existed, in the same way your dad was a pleb years before you existed.

literally fedora-core
Many nerds copy their humour from this book and think they're very funny
I hadn't have a smile while reading

Funny, I just listened to that album last night. I have no clue there were books about music theory and I would be extremely surprised they are not all Hal Leonard "How To Play" pamphlets

I think it's useless if u don't play any instrument.

Music theory literally reflects on practical side: why would you learn what is the value of a crotchet if you don't use this shit for anything? Think about it.

except I do, so give me some reads my man

Razumikhin is such a bro to keep this lout from dying alone in his apartment from hunger. Do friends like that even exist nowadays? All I got are assholes who occasionally lend me money sometimes but think they had the privilege to disrespect me in turn.

One of the songs is talking specifically about Humbert from Lolita. Also one of the themes is the growing leniency of casual sex. For example when what's his butts asks Oedipa if she wants to get down after the test to see if she is sensitive and her screwing the lawyer in the apartment after she first leaves San narciso. In all occasions sex is casual and meaningless. Only for fun.

It fits into a deeper message about isolation due to drugs and chasing desires.

Thank God I just picked another book over 49.

yea. ive read all issues of this thing, and ive only ever read six other manga books, dont think ive ever seen more than a few episodes of any anime show, and just a handful of movies. it's a cat-and-mouse game plot, the first four issues are perfect. the rest aren't really worth reading, ton of filler, but if someone edited them down into their good parts there might be 3-4 issues worth of quality there. tried the anime adaptation, it's unwatchable.

>>9318229
it's trite garbage. don't bother sir.

>>9318229
I watch the anime and I liked it a lot. But I never watch anime, so what do I know

Why would anyone take their children to the library in the first place? As for the behaviour, the parents are afraid of the kids. They're afraid to be angry with them when their squirming spawn well deserve it because we're supposed to teach our children acceptance and inclusiveness and things like that nowadays.

>>9318205
Tfw librarian
Feels good desu
I work in a dark isolated place all day long and get to tell kids and people to be quiet or leave.

Pretty sure my parents would leave me in the library while they went shopping. I'd just sit in a corner and read Asterix and Tintin books.

I haven't read any of these but I asked the same thing in a thread and I walked away with these recs: Walden, Blood Meridian, The Peregrine, and Whitman and Jeffers for poetry. Other than those, I keep shilling pic related on /lit/. It has gorgeous prose about the sea, land and men, not so much about living in solitude though.
