Thanks for the charts.

Any subject matter is fodder for literary merit. These "inner lives" aren't literary or artistic in and of themselves. Autistic, perhaps. Cite: OP

Not sure what you're doing on this board if you don't believe that.

>>8804594
hegel said art is the means by which the mind comes to know itself

by taking the ideas swimming around in our brain and giving them a physical form, we can study them and make sense of our thoughts. we can see whats going on. same thing with literary fiction. By putting the drudgery and vague anxieties of life on paper, we can comprehend them and overcome them.

Plato thought art sucked because it was merely poor simulacrum of a form, but art helps us approach the truth. It's certainly better than the flickering shadows cast by a fire against the walls of a cave.

The worms and stuff were cool, but I don't get why somebody has to be ritualistically killed every three pages with a knife.

To satisfy Abaddon's hunger, obviously.

>>8804534
it's not the greatest US novel. it belongs in a reader's digest volume.

>>8804356

Why the fuck do you need our permission to stop reading what you don't want to read?

>>8804356
it's your life op, but I keep a habit of finising every book I start. If I stop then the spell is broken and I will start picking up all kinds of shit I never intend to finish.

Well, he is a leftist, so he has the natural desire to amass himself as overly reliant on entities that aren't himself. As he does not have a state to tell him what to read, he defaulted upon you guys.

Well, we know he becomes a Catholic in the end when he enters the chapel and prays, but I'm not sure how he got to that when for most of the novel he vehemently disagrees with Catholicism. Perhaps it was the only thing that was "unchangeable"?

Don't read/watch The Three Musketeers then, or Angelou, or Hughes, Du Bois or any of the very important political writers in the US that were Black.

/Pol/acks like you can barely assemble a clickbaity article together for Breitbart.

>>8804144
absolutely nothing. he likes to get down and dirty with the things he's interested in. mad respect for him. rainbow stories and Europe central were great.

too fucking long winded

>>8804144
his face is a big one. plus his writing sucks.

Great book. If it is magic realism, then it's the a second only to 100 Years of Solitude imo.

>how could Abundio still be chilling in Comala after he murdered his own father (Pedro)
It's been a while since I read this, but what do you mean here? Pedro Páramo was dead when Abundio gets to Comala, right?

>>8804782
At the beginning of the novel the narrator (Juan Preciado) is taken to Comala by a man called Abundio, who we learn is also Pedro's son. When the novel ends we learn that Abundio killed Pedro. The Abundio we meet at the beginnig is a ghost. However we never get to see Juan interact with Pedro

I don't care if it's grammatically correct or not. I have no idea what it even means.

>>8804104
it means something when put into context, but I'm only concerned about the grammar

>>8804099
If that's the whole sentence, no. There's no subject. If there was an independent clause leading to this, followed by a colon (just one example), then yes.

I also wouldn't use a colon where you did. Not sure if that matters. I'd use a comma. I don't think it's incorrect though. They should be used sparingly/only where they are really needed.

Either sell or give away the books you've already read and do not wish to revisit and then only buy a new one once you've finished the current one. There, problem solved.

Hmmm probably dead white males LMAO
