Not very horror but 'The Devil In A Forest' by Gene Wolfe might interest you. It's mostly a coming of age story but his attention to detail and appreciation of history make it interesting enough.

Very interesting thread, wait for it my whole life or even more

>>9973035
I'll definitely look into it, looks interesting.

gravity's rainbow is some hundred times better than GAYson and DICKson

OH BITCH you have no idea, this is a neato torpedo lead in to Against the Day

Hope you know about the Icelandic rocks and Zulu tribes and Mexican anarchists and Greek arms dealers and Colorado businessmen and the work of Philip K. Dick

Yep

Go play in the sand.

No, because if a single book is able to shatter your beliefs then obviously you never believed did you?

>>9972926
I used to believe in you anon, your post made me stop doing that.

I guess, I truly never believed in you.

>>9972912
I hope so, otherwise I fapped fornothing. Also Fate was a prettycool guy.

i didn't read the book yet, mate

why are you bringing spoilers like that?

fuck you

>>9972930
I didn't spoil anything, stoopid anon
>>9972924
So the book is never conclusive about wether Fate fucks her or even ends up with her?

>How the FUCK can I find a career that gives me enough time and energy to write on the side
not possible. unless you're a girl in which case you can literally make $5 every 2-3 minutes on tinder

>>9972876
I don't care that much, to be honest, I mostly care about being a fucking disappointment to my family

>>9972813
Good question. It is what it is, I suppose. (You) can add Temptations to your Flaubert, wtf? List. The Sentimental Education is however a great novel, and Bouvard and Pecuchet sheer genius.

I absolutely loved Sentimental Education, though Salambo is his masterpiece. In it's few pages is probably the best researched historical novel in existence. He is spot on on everything

>Dude biblical naturalism lol
His worst most autistic novel.

The Myth of Sisyphus.

Anyone else?

I read the Iliad and Odyssey over the summer. they were both absolutely fantastic and provided me with a renewed interest in literature, history and the world as a whole. The rivalries between the gods in the Iliad and the ending of the Odyssey were truly spectacular. I feel like I might be missing out on some of the gold as I read the pleb TE Lawrence translation of the Odyssey. I'm not sure where to go from here, I might just follow that meme chart and read the histories or dive into some tragedies, guess I'll check the local bookstore and see what's there.

Huckleberry Finn and Catcher in the Rye are better contenders

Grapes of Wrath

>>9972550
Surely you jest. The latter belongs in the cringe of its own bin.

The fucking opressor! Relent this torment!!!

I've been skeptical about the demiurge/Carl Jung/occultism stuff but I just saw something that has essentially convinced me that it's real.

fug da demiurj XDDDDD

>BING! WAHOOO! IT'S A-ME MARIO

With the extent of low IQ non-white immigration over that same time period, this is no surprise and will only get worse.

WTF is a quipi? And since you provide no evidence of literature being "dead," no, I'm not. Unit sales of print books rose for the third-straight year of print growth in 2016. Sure, U.S. bookstore sales are down about 34% from their peak in 2007, but books are still a massive industry, and they're not going away in your lifetime.

skip the stirner and just read hegel.

Nah, you should be able to understand Stirner without Hegel, but it helps to skip the Marx before you read the Bauer and then read Stirner.

I didn't know that postmodernism was invented in 18th century.

One day certain thoughts will hit you and you will understand everything that Dostoyevsky writes about. You're not stupid.
