I finished it about a week ago. If you're not enjoying it now you probably won't, its style is consistent throughout.

Am I a plebeius for not feeling this?

The dialogue is unbearable and the prose, while descriptive, is just not enough to keep me engaged,but that may be the translation memeing me.

Also, the whole pan myth, and the cycles of love and nature inseparable from the people is too obvious and l can't find anything deeper in it.

Hunger was better.

Your thoughts?

Idk, but I thought Growth of the Soil was overrated too. Hunger was the only other book I've read by him and I enjoyed that, but he doesn't really seem that important to me. But I've also only read him in English.

Why is Moby Dick considered the 'Great American Novel'?
I agree it is the best book written by an American, but very little in the book has anything to do with America, or being an American. If anything it should be called the 'Great Oceanic Novel'.
And what makes a book a 'Great (Insert Nation) Novel'? Is it the greatest book to be written by someone who lives there, or is it a book that encapsulates the 'spirit' of the place?

I think Moby Dick is the best book to come out of America, and one of the best written books in general, but I don't think it's the great american novel. Maybe Faulkner, Whitman, or Steinbeck. But Faulkner only writes about the south, Whitman only writes about gays, and Steinbeck only writes about grapes.

The Great National Novel seems like a purely USonian meme. Everyone else seems content with just having a national epic.
>>
>>8316038
It's the same kidn of thing, really.
>>
>>8316038
Yeah, I think it's because the USA is too new to have a national epic, so they have to settle for a Great Novel. Although I suppose the colonists might have produced a national epic if they hadn't been such assholes to the native population.

Do you guys just base what literature is your favorite off of what books are the most difficult to read?
28 posts and 6 images submitted.

>>8315851
out of the top 10, only four are difficult to read, and IJ is just a meme
>>
What do you mean by difficult?
Difficult as in, hard to understand what's going on? Or that the themes and meaning of the book is hard to decipher?

So I bought the Art of the Deal from the US and noticed that it had a beautiful shiny cover and thin but flexible pages/covers.

I notice a lot of American books seem to be published in this style, particularly older ones. Is there a name for this type of book or the method in which it is published? I really do like the feel and shape of it.

Thanks.

In the words of Trump, the art of the deal is the second greatest book after the bible (but the bible took 11 people to write...)

Enjoy this masterpiece, be prepared to make the greatest deals of your life, and reread, my friend.

All of the humour aside, do you know the name of the publishing style of this type of book?

It's also similar to the Warcraft books.

Do you mean mass market paperback?

I haven't seen Adorno on here since I started shitposting.
Is this book worth my time, or is it just another uninteresting salty Frankfurter?

Reviews seem split between a work of genius, and "just a depressing piece of junk, the greeks are better".

I enjoy the bump, but I would consider myself well versed in this boards spooks already. I'd enjoy some feedback on this however.

I just finished an essay by Peter Sloterdijk, and he seem'd to reference the frankfurters a lot.

Flann's so fucking godtier.

Try The Third Policeman if you haven't yet, then be disturbed by the fact he wrote it in 1939 and that atomic theory was too new to be published til 1967, when readers would get it.
