Was checking out the table of contents to this yesterday. Looked good. I have an older Norton Modern Poetry that's helped me out a ton. Good choice OP.

>magic realism

>>8905271
Cortázar always struck me as more of a vanguardist/surrealist than a magical realist. Certainly that's how he would have been labeled if he wasn't Latin American

>>8905271
rayuela was my favorite book throughout high school. it's very re-readable and it gave me desire to actually live life and smell flowers, taste snow as it falls, be one with the world. gave me an ardent desire to live.

it may be snobbish but Cortazar has a way with feels, and his writing is immensely creative

Why don't you just read your memoirs and let me read my bookas to myself

I have a headache too family

>>8905257
I don't know but I wish I was.

>>8905257
My diary, to be honest.

the author is actually dead(not including his robot clone), and the book reproduces by using dead trees. spooky if u ask me.

>>8905238
Thatt's the aim of the book

It's a detective novel

Tolkien was, all things considered, a pretty damn cool guy
It's a shame I don't really care for his middle-earth stuff, but I love his other tales and his essays

Gay and not Western. Makes you think about his capacity for great literature

Mishima was a true Ubermensch. Awesome guy

>>8905228
>thought they were really comfy desu

his books aren't comfy. maybe sound of waves and a short story or two. I've read almost everything available in English.

he was a Japanese Don Quixote but replace chivalry with angsty teenage style mix ups with violence and beauty. add severe peter pan complex and misplaced hero-worship with samurai culture and there you go.

I read some of his lectures regarding technology for a seminary once but I'm not sure if I understood them well enough to know if Heidegger would approve of robots thinking like Heidegger.

A Pattern Language and The Timeless Way of Building, by Christopher Alexander, are probably going to be interesting to you.

For super old-school, Vitruvius.

For an overview, Pevsner's Panorama of Ocidental Architecture and Kenneth Frampton's Critical History of Modern Architecture.

To get on the shtick of Modernism, Corbusier's Vers une architecture is a great inspiring read.

Into the PoMo we have Complexity and Contradiction in Las Vegas by Venturi. I personally like The Pleasure of Architecture by Tschumi as well.

My biggest idol was Rem Koolhaas tho. Delirious New York probably would be a start. Also if you're into phenomenology, we have The Poetics of Space by Bachelard and Atmospheres by Peter Zumthor.

I used to study Architecture in college but switched to mechanical engineering. Archi is very beautiful but also full of bullshit and I was getting tired of it. I still feel kinda bad for leaving it sometimes, but it's probably better for my mental health.

Sorry for the rant
