I'm 20 pages into Andrew Culp's Dark Deleuze, and all I've read by Deleuze is his essay on Proust. Don't even think I finished it.

The rhizomatic method would be not bothering with specifics and constructing your own interpretation. Jump in at a random page, read the bit that interests you and conclude meaning for yourself

do you have a pdf?

In this post you express a repressed interest in homosexual oral sex

Whether you intended this message is, in the end, irrelevant; the entire post might as easily have erupted from your unconscious

Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that you are the son of sex workers. It is improbable that you would not have noticed parallels to the slang term "blowjob" in your post.

Wait, but this is true

Yep, I'm in Australia and use it all the time. The only problem is they often ship the books almost individually. Like 10 books arrive in 8 packages.
Where are you located, because there could be better places to look.

Why not just use Amazon if you're in the US?

It was about your mom getting drunk with me and wandering the streets until we find a supermarket that's open at 3AM and she buys two plastic containers of almonds and eats them in handfuls and then sucks my cock and there's almonds in my pubes

It's about how the sun's bright and shit and that Camus fucked up like Hugo.

Hugo made a somewhat similar short story with Le Dernier Jour d'un condamné where of a man who was sent to prison for an unspecified crime and then got killed. We see him slowly lose faith and the will to live until his final moments to the guillotine. The problem is that because we don't know whether he's innocent or not, even if he's most likely a criminal since not even his daughter gives a shit about him nor does he proclaim innocence. We don't care if the world treats him like shit because we don't know anything about him. We can't sympathize or pity him.

With L'Etranger, we don't know whether the sun made him shoot by accident or whether he was so nihilistic he just shot that Arab without a single care. It's purposefully vague and unexplained which is why I don't care if shit happens to him.
It's more a funny book on how acting like a weirdo can make all of society fuck reality and the truth.

This is why the Trial is a better book. It's less about the person and more about the bullshit bureaucracy. And the reason why it doesn't matter to know if Joseph committed a crime because everyone is guilty of something, so it doesn't even matter to try and fight.

Meursault is my fav character for sure because my fav thing in books is mundane events, and his book is full to the brim of it. Every chapter is like one of those novelty pet rocks, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla boredom and you fall back asleep. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this great mind, and you pick the book back up and BLAM you get a shot to the face and Hahahahahah you've been shot again by old Meursault, that card. "Woops, I was looking at the sun!" he says, half-conscious. Watch him as he takes his mom's corpse and displays her for you- left, right, center- "you think she died today? Or yesterday???" Pulls out a calendar. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again getting sleepy as his head snaps on the guillotine and rolls off right.

Milo is good alt-rap and so the flies dont come is a great album, i love it.

But he is not smarter or more literary just because he namedrops a bunch of philosophers and unconnected references. The cheeky intellectual rapper angle is a good character but there's no actual substance to it. He even says, "yo milo why you front like youre enlightened/cause presently its advantageous"

Not to imply that he is self aware. This dude claims his favorite philosopher is shopenhauer while simultaneously thinking its unforgivably racist that death grips named an album niggas on the moon.

He's a great lyricist, I quite like his flow too, it works well with the music.
Things that happen at day is my fav. album

The Iliad.

"With that he hurled and Athena drove the shaft
and it split the archer's nose between the eyes--
it cracked his glistening teeth, the tough bronze
cut off his tongue at the roots, smashed his jaw
and the point came ripping out beneath his chin.
He pitched from his car, armor clanged against him,
a glimmering blaze of metal dazzling round his back--
the purebreds reared aside, hoofs pawing the air
and his life and power slipped away on the wind."

"Now Amarinceus' son
Diores--fate shackled Diores fast and a jagged rock
struck him against his right shin, beside the ankle.
Pirous son of Imbrasus winged it hard and true,
the Thracian chief who had sailed across from Aenus . . .
the ruthless rock striking the bones and tendons
crushed them to pulp--he landed flat on his back,
slamming the dust, both arms flung out to his comrades,
gasping out his life. Pirous who heaved the rock
came rushing in and speared him up the navel--
his bowels uncoiled, spilling loose on the ground
and the dark came swirling down across his eyes."

"He bent drooping his head to one side, as a garden poppy
bends beneath the weight of its yield and the rains of springtime;
so his head bent slack to one side beneath the helm’s weight."

situationist international anthology edited and translated by ken knabb is recommended too.
