It's the kind of abstract notion that, if you think it, you can find whatever content in the book to prove it.

As usual, DFW meming like a motherfucker.

Lets talk about fractals instead
they are proof of god's influence

How so? I've never studied them

>>9011345
wow that's a really stupid question. you probably shouldn't read that book.

>>9011393
My apologies for asking those who have read the book if they agree with what the author himself said, fuckhead

>>9011345
I seem to remember Gaddis saying that it should be read at a reasonable pace where the dialogue kinda just washes over you. I reread it for the third time last year and, while I enjoyed taking the time to mark recurring themes and motifs and outline plots and character arcs, sometimes I'd just read straight through a whole section because of how /enjoyable/ and /funny/ it all is. Like, sometimes you just need to relax and enjoy the time you spend on a book. I dunno, maybe it's just me? I enjoy reading books where ordinary people try to grapple with their humanity using classical references.

Jane Austen is the greatest pleb filter in the English language. You know instantly if someone's a pleb if they don't like her.

>>9011025
Ah yes, famous pleb Charlotte Bronte. How could I forget.

Rich People are Golddigging Whores Except the Main Character and Her Husbando, by Jane Austen

Catherine is a quirky, independent woman who infuriates her family by turning down all the beta suitors. Meanwhile, her twelve sisters are golddiggging whores who get wet at the first man with 10,000 pounds on his hands and all end up getting forced into unhappy marriages because they were too dumb to do anal.

Meanwhile Catherine finally finds her dream man, except his autistic parents won't accept him to get a bride that is only slightly less rich than them, so they do everything in their power to tear them apart, but through the power of note sending they figure out what's going on and get married anyway.

>tfw making a video of yourself talking and editing in questions and reactions from Charlie Rose

>>9010999
ya :>

>>9011193
Yeah exactly this. Charlie Rose is pretty much the only show that would have my ideal version of myself on. Too patrician for late night talk shows and Sunday morning bullshit

>>9010929
Yeah, they send out 4 sets of coupons per year, plus the 15% you get for being a member stacks with that.

>>9011301
Do these 4/year coupons include any for 40% off? And is the regular 15% applicable online?

Thanks!

>>9010929
I don't know if there's a schedule to it, but I get a 20% off one item coupon at least once a month. That stacks with the regular 10% off too. That all applies to the website.
But the big thing that they don't advertise enough is free shipping on orders from BN.com.

Rembrandt gets me hard af 2bh

Have you tried "Best American Short stories?"
Its a 100 year old series that does a collection every year. Junot Diaz edited this years edition.
They also publish a "Best American" series for essays, comic books, etc.

I asked Remnick about the political stuff and he says he intends to ramp it up big time for the next four years at least. I think it's a shame. Of course they've always done politics there but it's becoming less of a general culture magazine and more political. I'm just tired of hearing about Trump, good or bad.

>>9010617
Which David Remnick piece are you referring to?

>>9010575
Mostly Obama's speeches.
