Honest question, is anything of McKenna's worth reading? I listened to one of his lectures and found it interesting, but when I tried to check out more it seemed like he was just repeating himself.

if he can read it he's up there

holy shit. at last!!!! will it become a meme now that there's an english translation?

>>8474846
Let's check the 'will it become a meme?' checklist:

- relatively obscure - CHECK
- so long that no-one who memes it has ever finished it, possibly not even started it - CHECK
- non-traditional structure, layout, narrative - CHECK

Chances look good!

If Janus had a demon, one of the other demon bearers would have noted it by now. Winter's can identify even minor demons like the actual listen-demon in book two. And if Janus had a demon he probably would have blabbed about it while he was on drugs in book four.

When ADWD came out I said TWOW will come out in 2017. Everyone thought I was being pessimistic or joking or just wrong and it would come out 2015 at the latest. Now it looks like 2017 was actually optimistic.

Why on earth would you read it if it did?

I just want to jerk off.
There are three girls I could go have sex with right now. I don't want to fuck any of them right now because I love a whore. Then I think I should go fuck them anyway. I don't have difficulty leaving.
I got a nice Albrecht Durer book the other day, I don't have anyone to enjoy it with.

Dumb memes will become recognized as lame and people will stop using the Internet, society starts to regress and I steal all of your bovine meat while you sleep soundlessly at night in your tree hut, see you there

The quick brown fox, Fox Foxley, jumped over the big, flea-bitten, sleeping, spotted, smelly dog with his friends Foxy, Faux, and Fux in the busy garden near the shed.

This has got to be one step above adult coloring books, right?

Recommend something if you see your country.

You know that's not true

Ther eis a lot to recommend, but there is at least 2 authors I think everybody should know of:

1. Guimarães Rosa
Most of the time people say he is the brazilian Joyce, which doesn't really reflect his style, his linguist techiniques can be really "joycean" but his original approach to coloquial terms and slangs are unique, so is his neologism techniques. Because of that he is an extremely difficult author to translate and I don't know how good the translation of his masterpiece Grande Sertão: Veredas (in english"The Devil to Pay in the Backlands") is, but I think everyone should give it a chance. This books is one of the most fantastic experiences I've had with literature, an profound psychological and ontological analysis on "nordestino" people that have a lot of Faust in it, also a lot of raw, natural, human violence, in certain ways its a mix of Faust and Blood Meridian with a joycean approach to writting, a work of a genius.

2. Machado de Assis
the most famous author from Brazil, and his fames doesn't even do justice to his genius. In many ways he can be considered our Tchekov/Babel with his amazing, national human short stories and also our Sterne with his great novel Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas that have a lot of influence from Tristam Shandy and Voltaire's Candido. Everybody should at least read his short stories that are atmospheric, ironic and murky. Also a man of extremely natural talent since he was an autodidact, mulato and from poor origins.

Keep in mind that I'm making most of those comparisons just to illustrate what to expect from their work, they are way above being a "poor man's X", they are their own thing, have their own voice and style.
