He used to read in bed laying on his side.
Over time his eye gradually became stuck in this position.

Let's start of with this: I'm not a sensitive person in the slightest.
Now, I decided to read Of Mice and Men, and I started bawling my eyes at right at the end.
So this thread is dedicated to those rare books that make yo cry (whether shedding a tear or crying like a baby)

in my day first replies were usually made by the most intelligent and thoughtful individuals. they would convey more meaning in a short phrase than the entire thread might put forward. this is a disgrace
What are some books about aloof cynical quippers who are crying on the inside?

Hi anons, hopefully you can help me. A few months ago (maybe more, maybe less), there was a Harry Potter thread where an anon discussed mapping the Harry Potter books. I was wondering if anyone had saved those, or know exactly what he was doing with them. It looked like important events were marked down along with page numbers and other useful information. Does anyone know the specific name for this process?

MGTOW isn't something that should be learned from a book. If you want to go your own way then go your own way. Its that simple. Just don't marry.

Would you believe that there's a book about this? You could read it.

Could somebody please give me an example or two why Shakeyshakes is so revered? I've seen A Midsummer Night's Dream, and studied Hamlet in AP Lit. His verse is clearly intelligent, but where is this depth that makes people apeshit over his greatness?
I suppose I could read>>8617563 's book, but I'm skeptical of a bestselling pop lit thing based on an attention getting claim.

I am almost done with Madame Bovary
The book so far is almost perfect, I dont consider it perfect because I am not a fan of describing with extreme detail the rooms the main character goes through.
But the book is making me feel very sad and miserable, because of its story, that is a complete success of the storytelling.
I know I will never read it again because I dont like feeling sad, miserable, and disgusted by the behaviour of a vapid vain woman.
so, do you re-read books that will make you feel sad? can you enjoy books that arent uplifting in any way, even if it is a very hidden way, some small ray of hope, some redemption?
sorry for the pleb thread.
Even stuff like Crime and Punishment had a nice ending, I mean the Siberia part to not spoil anything.

I thought it was about her delusions of grandeur, unrealistic expectations, and "careerism" if the term can be applied. What the French call Arriviste.

I like how the book closes on Homais earning his cross of the legion of honor
