Usually I like to go in fresh, but does Coover like Nixon and Cohn? I've read that he doesn't hate Nixon.

Don't read those yet. Can you read this easily?

Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which vertu engendred is the flour,
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halve cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open ye
(so priketh hem Nature in hir corages),
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages,
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes,
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke,
That hem hath holpen whan that they were seeke.

What sort of things to you want to read? Any interests?

9 Stories by JD Salinger is probably a good start

It's weird. If I try to read that in my mind i recognize most of the words through pronounciation, but I have to strugge to do that

My plan was to read book that are considered essentials/classics in their original language. I thought that by doing this i could become well-read and learn foreign languages at the same time

You have only advanced your contention.
But you do not understand your contention.
Ergo there is nothing to debate.

>>9231843

not correct
not debating
not doing your homework

Frankly he's as good place to start on German Idealism as anyone. Definitely don't start with Hegel. You might want to try Kant first, but you don't have to.

Why would you bother? Le spook memery is all that he's good for.

>tfw ulillillia will die in your life time

If it's actually the same person who's really being denied for publication this many times that's pretty sad
Wouldn't you give up after about 20 attempts?

the strokes / ACDC of writers.

one of the worst writers

Not exactly about electronic music but The Rest is Noise by Alex Ross is a really good chronicle on contemporary music, including electronic music, since the early 20th century until today.

"Last Night A DJ Saved My Life" by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughto is the best book every written on dance music culture.

Energy Flash by Simon Reynolds is alright and a classic overview of electronic music history.

"More Brilliant than the Sun" by Kodwo Eshun may be nice if you enjoy 90s Nick Land-esque insane rambling.

'Rave And Its Influence On Art And Culture' by Nav Haq

'Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music And Dance Culture' by Simon Reynolds

'Love Saves the Day: A History Of American Dance Music Culture, 1970-1979' by Tim Lawrence

I've gone off the deep end, feels enlightened man.

Donald Ray Pollock is an obligatory choice.

If you haven't read any Faulkner, obviously that's a good choice

>>9231672
The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter.
We Have Always Lived In The Castle.
