I'd wish to know desu.
This personal autobiography needed something to wrap it up and now I know how to end it, desu.

One of the flies, obviously. Are you dumb?

Because despite being a fictional character he had more depth than you.

>>10018108
I forgot, this is a serious board

He knew at that moment he himself became the niggest.

Go read a book, faggot

I guess sparknotes can do the job

Sans Soleil is the finest travellogue ever made. Directed by Chris Marker.

As far as books go:
Patagonia
Rings of Saturn
Dharma Bums

The Great Railway Bazaar is good.

>>10017987
Dharma Bums was so jarring. Kerouac at his most pretentious and deluded.

>>10017982
Enjoyed Montaigne's even if every other page consists of his passing yet another kidney stone!
Lawrence's Sea and Sardinia -and- Etruscan Places qualify, are quality books at any rate. As does Byron's Childe Harold, though a poem, and Wordsworth's Prelude (1805).

Philip K. Dick - A Scanner Darkly

Thanks. I was thinking specifically about the film Lost Highway, where a man wakes up as another man

Why do towel heads have such gay eyes?

Is it because of "man love thursday" and pederasty? Or are they wearing some kind of made up?

God made them that way to help keep the sand out of them. Just look at camels, they got the same thing going.

In the Middle East poetry still quite popular, probably even more than fiction.

The Recognitions isn't knee-slapping funny, it's depressing funny

>the part where Stanley's mother is going insane from the trauma of losing her leg while Otto drunkenly parades around town with it
>the part where Mister Pivner loses his chance to meet his son because he's dizzy from insulin withdrawal and Otto bonds with Sinisterra instead and actually gets more out of it then he ever would have from meeting his real father
>every scene with Mister Pivner where Gaddis shits on him for being too lazy to read real books

I think you meant to say Tommy Pinecone but thanks for the image anyways.

>>10019034
No I've read almost all of pinecones books and more laughs can be had within the first 30 pages of j r than all his works. He averages almost a laugh a page in j r and I'm a guy who doesn't really laugh out loud from books that often. Don't get me wrong pine is really funny. I loved when mason and Dixon had to deal with the little girls.

Send it to Žižek

Is it really? I wouldn't put it past her.

Dark surrealism, lot of cruelty, difficult sentences (appears to be made as difficult as possible on purpose, or perhaps it's due to the fact that French is not my native language), confusion.

shark fucking

>>10017693
Even for a french it's a complex book.

First for dark elves are born sluts.

>>10017519
Start with the Greeks.

Remove Dunyain from the premises

Lolita thread?

Does anyone remember where it says that Humbert Humbert sold perfume or something like that? Read about it in the German afterword.

>>10017384

You need to track down the works by one of my favorite authors, Marguerite Duras. Start with The Lover.

Why don't more books?
