i was wondering if there were any necessary books and/or encyclopedias about drugs.
Links will be helpful if there is a pdf online(not sure if that is against the rules)

What's a good book for when you feel lonely and embarrassed with life? I dunno why I have to feel embarrassed about every wrong thing I've ever done. Or hell, if it doesn't fit that specific criteria, what's a book that's just about being lonely? I feel so fucking lonely, there's no good friends, I always wanna be "best friends" with everyone I ever meet and it makes me more awkward and creepy. I hate myself.

Sick, I got these on my shelf. I'll check out crime and punishment or notes from underground, steppenwolfe, or hunger. I'll probably read hunger next, but I wanted to read a Gene Genet book next for the gay feels, then maybe hunger or 1984.

I know loneliness. Everything feels disconnected. I may be going crazy.
I have to write a novel but i hate myself for my lack of talent. Nothing is good enough.
Holy shit this fucking sucks, senpai. I should have read The Sea Wolf instead.

Thats retarded, but look up the Hugo award controversy and read the stuff by those whom the sad puppies excluded.

Hi, I need a GED study book for a dumb slacker girl. She recently dropped out, because they would have to repeat 12th grade.

Bloom confused himself. It was not 'stretched his legs' but rather 'stretched his/her/their/ hands'. It happens about six times or so, including 3 times between pages 85 and 92, including twice in page 85.
Also, 'clap the hand to shoulder/head/mouth' happens some five times too.
''shake/shook'' hands happens about 11 times.
''Shook/shake his head'' happens 9 times.
I took a random great book - Heart of Darkness - for comparison.
''shake/shook hands'': 5 times, one of which is far from a cliche (it shays 'I shook hands with this miracle.');
''shake/shook head'': 1 time;
hands clapping: hands are clapped four times, none of which are in the same context; the verb is enriched by being applied to teeth once;
arms are stretched once, hands none. The word 'stretcher' appears some ten-fifteen times, but it's a noun, and such concrete nouns are permissible, since they actually refer to objective things which cannot be named otherwise.

it's easy to make mistakes when you read 100 pages per hour
that's why most people don't do it

Also when you're 104 years old, which Bloom has been since he was about 40 or so...

thanks for your research

They never are. Plus, im quite sure that american psycho is the only "very good" book he wrote. Glamorama and Lunar Park were both alright, but i feel like he just re-hashes all the themes and storylines in everything he does

they aren't

Are you joking? The American Psycho novel was miles better than the movie.
Greatest piece of literature of 2000's?

Anyone have any notebook recommendations to record my lucid daydreams?

lmao uh, just get a notebook dude.

You should get a nice leather bound notebook anon. They're not that expensive and they sell them on amazon. I have one that my mom gave to me, I keep it next to my bed. I write my dreams down in text because it's way faster that way, so I remember more of the dream, but if I were to go the way of a journal I would undoubtedly get a leather bound notebook.

I was born in a time when the majority of young people had lost faith in God, for the same reason their elders had had it – without knowing why. And since the human spirit naturally tends to make judgements based on feeling instead of reason, most of these young people chose Humanity to replace God. I, however, am the sort of person who is always on the fringe of what he belongs to, seeing not only the multitude he’s a part of but also the wide-open spaces around it. That’s why I didn’t give up God as completely as they did, and I never accepted Humanity. I reasoned that God, while improbable, might exist, in which case he should be worshipped; whereas Humanity, being a mere biological idea and signifying nothing more than the animal species we belong to, was no more deserving of worship than any other animal species. The cult of Humanity, with its rites of Freedom and Equality, always struck me as a revival of those ancient cults in which gods were like animals or had animal heads.
And so, not knowing how to believe in God and unable to believe in an aggregate of animals, I, along with other people on the fringe, kept a distance from things, a distance commonly called Decadence. Decadence is the total loss of unconsciousness, which is the very basis of life. Could it think, the heart would stop beating.

babby's first pessimism.
If you like it read Pensees.

I bought the Penguin translation of that book and there were literally unicode characters in it that were printed as squares.
The content of the book was awful in spirit, too. Really self-centered stuff.

what does /lit/ think about Ben Lerner?
I've read Leaving the Atocha Station and 10:04. they're both Novels With An Idea, which is difficult to carry off, but Lerner seems to be aware that he risks coming across as pretentious, and manages (mostly) not to by using narrators that are almost explicit self-inserts but not quite. and the ideas are kind of interesting, so I ended up liking both novels.
