If it seems things are temporary then I'd grab two I ain't read yet:
Ulysses

If it looks permanent:
Moby Dick
Complete Borges

>one year old

Dont worry about it, my daughters favorite book was goodnight moon and i read it to her every night before bed. It wasnt until she was three that I could go crazy. Read to make him happy and he will appreciate it when you crank it up.

The Pigeon books by Mo Willems, and anything by Sandra Boynton. Trust me: my kids are 2 and 4, and they both loved those to pieces.

This lad literally copy pasted Wikipedia articles into his bestselling novels.

Well, that's all good but it doesn't answer my question. I don't think it's likely, but I want to be sure. It's not like I just slapped the lyrics in the fucking epigraph (which I don't have). They've been intertwined within numerous lines of dialogue and references.

Was just trying to semi-relevant bump you, friend.

Why not just give credit though?

Okay, so what did they do that you did not like?

>>8509115
They were thinking more with their feels than with rationality and logic

It is tolerable and better than the game's writing.

Read some of them (The Last Wish and Blood of Elves, apparently a few more were translated since then).

They're not great, I don't know if it's the translation or the writing or both, but they can be a bit of a slog. Still, if you're a fan of the games (currently playing through the third one myself, I was waiting for the GOTY edition) you should check them out in chronological order (not in order of translation since those are random iirc).

hp lovecraft perhaps?

baudelaire's poetry

Bottom's Dream

Because there is a hierarchy of races and sexes, and any notion of equality perverts that human nature

I don't believe either of these posts are serious

Nowadays people will say no, but in some books like Brothers K or The Sun Also Rises, I've seen "____," laughed anon. Laughed might be an exception, but I've seen it lumped into those non speaking verbs you're talking about.

Go for it.

"This is a beautiful meadow", gestured Steve.

I don't see why not, go for it. Even if it's wrong, break the rules. Who cares. It sounds fine to me.

It doesn't sound perfect, but sure.

I didn't get to finish it...

How do you get past the instruction to remove the final fifty pages and mail them to a friend? Just keep reccing the book to people and hope someday someone sends them to you?

I really hate the outermost frame narrator. That tattoo artist loser. I can't remember his name, but it felt like he was a cheap attempt to give the more experimental sections of the novel a little bit of mass appeal. Danelwiiswieski never really found a good voice for him. He goes between being a fucking moron and almost-a-poet in the space of a sentence. I don't doubt that somebody like that exists, but they should be shot, not written into a novel.

The academic monograph (Zampano) sections are pretty cool. Some great moments in the House itself. But all the material in the appendices is tacky. It's a real mixed bag.

norton anthology of criticism if you want to dive into Serious Academic Critical Theory TM

Wow boy, that's an expensive book. But thanks for the tip.

>>8508936
its not purchased often/aimed at "laymen," most uni students majoring in humanities who need to take an intro theory class.

the explanatory essays/author life bio that precede each excerpt are very helpful. the primary texts themselves vary in "interestingness"

word of warning - not everyone falls in love with theory, many hate it, even more find it boring/pointless. try looking at the index/table of contents (you can find it on the norton site) and reading a few random excerpts online. if you don't hate it go ahead and buy it. otherwise maybe dropping $70 on isomething you're gonna drop after 10 pages might not be the best idea.

too bad its a shitty book

seriously, i agree its a lot less ideological than his other works, but its a pretty pleb story a subpar execution

The double is basically early kafka I love it
