You're a fake nigger OP. I'm a real nigger. Rimbaud predicted hip hop culture before it happened.

Rimbaud was the first trap rapper

Season In Hell was a fire mixtape

Is Chief Keef more literary than previously recognized?

The Medal, or something is pretty great, I also really liked the one about the fat frenchman who fights the Prussian officer on the train and of course Boule de Suif.
He seemed pretty easy so I may well read him in French when I can get a copy.

The Regret. I think that was the great. He was a prodigee of Flaubert right? I've been meaning to read Balzac as well. Is it similar to his style? Maupassant is underrated IMO

>>8428678
You mean Two Friends? That's also nice.

>>8428806
not him but that doesn't sound like deux amis to me

This is vintage international

Someone?

You're probably better off reading book reviews in the Vintage edition. LiA isn't very popular on this board. I don't see why it would be any different, but 120 pages seems like a whole lot of something missing.

I liked best the story of the one-bit writer who, decades after his death, goes from being the object of the widest and most superficial appreciation to being universally shunned for having during his whole career written one joke poem about a squid god.

The Willows, which, coincidentally, was also his favorite weird tale

Anyone else here read The Hill of Dreams by Machen? It's basically my diary desu by a lover of the ancient Welsh ruins and forests of his upbringing.

The main character is a knobhead named Lucian, and it's hilarious how little regard he has for fellow people. And it's precisely those normies who would think that such an awkward, detached guy would have nothing going on in his head, much less a 60,000 word narrative. It almost reads like a parody of itself, and doubles as an ersatz Lovecraft psych case.

shit books except long strange trip

Our class read it back in high school.

Hideously dry. Also attempted suicide by sled has to be one of the most retarded things ever.

We had to read this and The Awakening by Kate Chopin in an advanced lit class I took in highschool. The Awakening was better I thought.

>>8428022
I read it in highschool too and liked it. It had a nice atmosphere and mood. I thought it was supposed to be about the tragedy of a common man

A hat of course. A hat with akwardly dran eyes on one brim. Also, the hat is uneven. It's like a baseball cap but with a visor on the back. WTF would I want that for? Block the sun from my overly long neck hair?

0/10 drawing, go back to art school.

desu I don't know what the point of that drawing was

I don't know what the deal with The Little Prince is or what that "see with your heart" crap is about.

Id be careful there are some good works there but you run the risk of burning out by trying to be /lit/. If you genuinley enjoy these then thats great but dont be afraid of buying books lit would scoff at

I'm convinced that nobody has ever read any of this fag's books unless they are forced to in school

It's not even proper English, you ned a translation like spark notes to understand any of it

Need your opinion please.

>reading

Are you fucking dumb or something?

I read some of it and found it interesting until near the end, where I stopped reading it for some reason.
