He doesn't sound like he's read much.

>>8754883
The stock quotes.

You can Google this for more reliable details. At some point during the campaign someone asked him what he'd been reading and after much prodding he finally came up with All Quiet on the Western Front. Then someone asked him again like months later and he said the same thing. I think he might have named All Quiet on the Western Front as his favorite book on yet another occasion also.

Not only can Trump not read, he can't even lie about reading.

People who have spent time with him have gone on record saying they didn't think he could really read. One example I remember is Pete Davidson from SNL said when Trump hosted he refused to read the script in front of people and instead insisted on just improvising lines.

The ending, after much panic and suspense, finally getting everyones attention and proving that something will happen, when it reaches 00:00 it just flips over to 9999:9999 (whatever), and/or right before it hits 00, the batteries die... and then they put new batteries in, and then it hits 00. or a large revolutionary motif starts with a side not wanting to put in new batteries, and a side wanting too,

The religious relation, could be similar to 4chan, dubs, trips etc. in that certain numerical orientations mean certain things, like time to eat, time to wash, and theres a whole code book, of all the different meanings, like where the dubs occur 4566343 compared to 6534773

certain celebrations on certain things like flush 654321

The old man, might be the son/or grandson, of the man who made the clock.

or the son of a founding member of the temple of the religion, or high political figure,

How the mc could have become curious about the clock, meet an outside on the edge of town, who warns of hearing a fable or story about this village, and needed to see for himself, first time an outside was met maybe?

maybe then he goes looking to speak to high preists and finds the old man, or goes behind the building wall where the clock is to search, to see if he can find any details about the mechanics, or history of it, mabe he finds the old man behind the clock in a little swell fab apartment, gotta think of old man character type, wealthy pristine palace apartment, or like sage keymaker/clockmaker, with tons of computers and graduated cylinders, etc. things like stock tickers,

he leaves the old mans apartment, everyone is making a big scene outside, as everyone notices it began counting down as a timer, he runs back up, to find the apartment empty, or the old man dead

Either when it hits 0, nothing happens, or something happens.

aliens land on earth.

massive earth quake and atlantis rises.

buildings take off as space ships.

the city is surrounded by warrior hordes.

there is a hostile mutiny takeover.

the protagonist wakes up, as the 00 represents

the alarm clock and he was dreaming.

>>8754740
Yes.

Define Idealism.

What is not idealism?

>>8754753
Historical idealism. The claim that ideas and not material conditions steer the development of history.

>>8754753
Idealism is thinking this thread was worth replying to.

Maybe this thread is just fishing for (You)s, but if you actually did it, and by "publication" you don't mean "vanity press/worthless shithouse run by a guy in a hawaiian shirt", then congratulations m8.

THAT'S MAH LIL NIGGA!!
GOOD ON YA SCROW!!

Because I don't mind them.

My used book store has beautiful leatherbound and hardbound books in addition to nicely maintained paperbacks. There are a lot of books in shit condition but that's not really a reason not to go to a used book store, it is a reason to not buy a shit book

>>8754561
you know some people take care of their books, right? plus some used books are just as fresh as retail, just that they've been bought and never used or read.

i'm bumping this

>>8756363
i ordered it already, so if no one responds i'll at least make a thread in a month

I've got s copy but haven't done a thorough enough read to compare to the Cantos. If I remember correctly it was less dense.

>>8754533
maybe if you capitalized your fucking letters I would read your shit

>>8754557
I'm sorry. Please.

>>8754533
It is fucking garbage.

>>8754527
>being this pathetic

>>8754548
:(

Yes, it happens to me every few months, where I have to take at least a 1 week break. I panic and worry that I'll suddenly lose all interest in reading, then it suddenly comes back and I'm good to go.

Use Calibre

>>8754464
but its a kobo

>>8754472

So? You're doing something wrong and Calibre is idiotproof.

>>8754338

I bet he wants a black man to mount his wife while he watches heeheeheheh :DD

>>8754343

you do what you have to do to get non-James Joyce/Pynchon/DFW threads going

>>8754352
East of Eden is a great book. If you liked it, why don't you create a thread with something more interesting than 'le epic cuck posting'?

>>8754336
>reading tranlations

>>8754356
I thought the attack on leftism in the book was interesting too.

>>8754365
Let's face it, they're simply immature of mind compared to us

your proably armenian

>>8754249
why don't you put it through a spell check for starters... IQ of 131 and still haven't learned English aka the easiest language to learn that ever existed.
Frankly what you have written pretty much is quite daily and mundane. Not that it isn't believable, believable and relatable it is: it's just painful to read: A Muslim not waiting until the dozenth row to start mumbling about his religion, what's new here.
Who wants to read about the next ghetto rat violent kid, who's so full of himself he thinks he's not just smart and just but also pious and deserves to be treated well.

It's total crap.

>the book Woolf based her entire career around channeling isn't that well written, but Woolf is!
George Eliots\'s a genius, man. Dickens knew it. Woolf knew it. The Queen knew it. And if you would take the time to know it for yourself, you'll honestly be a better person.

>>8754193
yeah, it was pretty fucking boring. i mean the first page talks about the most mundane shit i've ever read. not even an attempt at being remotely fascinating. same with AK, fucking soap opera epics akin to the young and the restless being passed off as though they're the finest novels in existence, while simultaneously shitting on masculinity and adventure and intrigue and genuine cleverness. but no, i gotta read about mr. douchington's well bred mannerisms and how best to place a candle on a fucking table for 600 hours because some stumpfuck pleb on /lit/ thinks shit like that is remotely worthwhile and simpleton pretentious faggot shite.
