If you were really Pynchon, you would have made a joke about the upcoming rapture

i agree that horror works best in short story form rather than novels.

the thing about the fisherman is that it has several layers of nested stories. this makes it similar in some ways to a short story collection, it's just that the stories are interwoven and all involve the same central mythology. i think it helps the book avoid some of the problems with extended horror stories (primarily finding the right balance between revealing too much too soon, ruining the tension, and dragging things out for too long, falling to keep the tension going). the structure is also an interesting commentary on folklore, fishermen's stories, and so on

depends

Wasn't my apathy towards the subject apparent?

Nietzsche respected Schopenhauer a lot at first but then when he came his own he would have though of him as a life denier

>>What's the Last GRI APPROVED sff book you read?
Unholy Consult

>How was it?
The GRIest thing I've ever read.

>Would you Recommend?
Yes. But it really would have been better if Great Ordeal and Unholy Consult were the same book.

I just read the newish Winds of Winter sample chapter. It was pretty GRI. Euron really is the final boss I guess. Shame the book will never come out and the show will continue with le finger in bum and yasss queen slay plots.

What's the best wish fulfillment book?

I'm interested because typical generic hero as christ dragonball power up fantasy/scifi is always (rightly) shat on for being bad but I'm wondering if anyone's done it well without having to go and be subversive.

Sure, they're fine popcorn lit.

They're fun. Some books are good, some are shit, but it's easy enough to read. Fool Moon has a good variety of werewolves, so Butcher clearly did some research. Dresden can come across as a bit of a Gary Stu but he does take a beating at times. As it goes along it becomes a bit lost in its own over-arching plot but is still fine. If you just want something easy and fun to read then you can do a lot worse.

The first two or three books are pretty bad, but if you find them passable then the rest of the series will be great.

The stupid fuck hasn't written a book in like three years though.

Why none of you ereader faggots do you research?
They are shit tier for PDF you need epub or something else.
Dont get cucked by amazon buy a kobo.
Use fucking calibre to transfer your books

FUCK

>>9967528
How much money are you willing to spend? What do you want from the device, besides the pdfs? Because pdfs usually work like crap. Why not epub or mobi files?

>>9967545
I did research but the information didn't seem reliable, for example I didn't even read anything related to Calibre.
I saw that in Fnac they got Kobo, if it's that good I might end up getting it.

I'm thinking of a phrase which describes exactly that, saying stupid shit like that but I can't think of it because English isn't my first language.

It's another harem novel.

It helped me let go of several neuroses I had in regards to my role in a silly abstraction

He's real good if you're going to be a leftist, although I do see lots of apolitical/right leaning who shitpost about him. Overall, his revolution far surpasses Marx's. Good for the mind.

It might. Stirner and Thus Spoke Zarathustra seems like a good combo.

that gay shit

Anybody know a book where a character falls into fantasy land and saves it, but the book handles AFTER he gets back and nobody knows why he has crippling PTSD and he can't tell anybody?

Because whoo boy, do I have a hard on for a book where a character falls into fantasy land and saves it, but the book handles AFTER he gets back and nobody knows why he has crippling PTSD and he can't tell anybody.
