is this the book by palahuik (or whatever) where the guy rips his guts out through his ass with a pool drain?

I guess what you'd have to do is acknowledge that it's fine to read slowly, and take a break whenever you start the brain-dead skimming like that and return to it later. Have you tried that before?

aspie here I always read nonfiction. just constantly take notes and its usually fine

>novel opens with dialogue

>>8808903
But there is literally nothing wrong with doing that. You have to set the scene, don't you? That's what I thought, faggot.

>>8808925
Nothing wrong with this, either.

Anon read a great book a few years ago, and OMG HE DOESNT REMEMBER A THING. 2/10 memory, probably didnt really read it.

>wake up, finish the cigarette I half smoked the night before while reading Charlemagne's letters
>go back to sleep for an hour
>wake up again, walk through my flat saying "fuck" in exasperated tones.
>throw on a black metal cassette or Schoenberg concerto
>drink whatever's available
>go into the market and buy baguette, cheese, and the paper
>speed walk thru the urbanized areas gritting my teeth and counting the milestones before I can cast my vote for le front nationale next year
>go to the park, read the paper and eat
>go back to my flat and read for 8-9 hours with /lit/ breaks
>eat again
>sleep or go out drinking

Cervantes is great desu

Jesus christ Anon, there are innumerable classics written in Spanish originally. To name a few that I would be bewildered if you hadn't heard of them:

Don Quixote - Cervantes
Labyrinths, Ficciones - Borges
The Savage Detectives, 2666 - Bolano

I firmly believe this is the funniest reply in the history of /lit/

I found it useful and quite an enjoyable read, though Russell's far from impartial. It might be worth reading up on him so you can understand where he was coming from.

Horrible, you are going to end knowing less than before.

Wittgenstein once remarked to Maurice O'Connor Drury, "Russell's books should be bound in two colours: those dealing with mathematical logic in red -- and all students of philosophy should read them; those dealing with ethics and politics in blue -- and no one should be allowed to read them."

I like the idea desu. The vapidity of modern life, as a subject, is surprisingly neglected by modern authors - probably because they don't realize how inane modern life has become.

Unfortunately, I don't think Tao Lin can do justice to it. He's annoyingly mediocre.

>While the Millennial generation may not yet have announced its representative in the literary world, in his latest novel Tao Lin declares himself as the best candidate for the job."
HAHAHA fucking millennials thank God I'm not one of (You).
