>hang

>he hanged himself the day after 9/11

No way.

I'd tell him I would, though. Just to leave him hanging.

>reading Atlas fugged
don't do that to yourself dude

>>8294939
I figure two hundred pages a day it'll be done in a week, I've heard nothing but good about it, been then again probably not from any one who actually read it.

It's been on my list for awhile..

Lee a Borges en español pajero hijo de pute

>>8294869
Any translation is good enough for Borges' above par genre fiction. Just don't get a complete works, to much Borges ruins reading him.

Just fucking learn Spanish; it will take 6 months to be able to read it if you understand English well. This also opens the gate to Don Quixote and Cien Anos de Soledad.

Read them and find out, you fucking retard

I liked them, but they suffer from the general CS Lewis problem(the characters are just fronts for the 'right' and 'wrong' philosophies in his world). but he's a good writer imo, and Out of the Silent Planet was such a fun read for me(read it in like 10th grade, when we had no power for days due to a hurricane) I read Perelandra about a year ago. Thought it was kinda just more of the same. It gets a lot more theological. That Hideous Strength has been sitting on my shelf for a while. I hear it's much different from the others.

DUDE CHRISTIANITY LMAO

No, John Ashberry still lives.

nah. his stuff is cheap unless u are already converted into situ and can appreciate it. which is the same as saying its nothing.

The most hated book on /lit/

It wasn't captivating by any means, but I liked, the message didn't felt too forced and the characters were portrayed so well that they felt alive.
Can't comment about the prose since I read a translation but it didn't felt shit tier prose I tell you that.

>written by a female

It's brilliant. You don't know what you're talking about.

Vonnegut.
smug ass motherfucker

Not really a /lit/erary book, but I had to put down Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb because he was so unbearably smug.

There is already a thread on this. Go to the catalog

>>8294657
didn't we just have a plebbit thread with this exact subject matter?

anyways when I first started reading I thought Age of Reason was really dry and couldn't finish it. Read it twice now and can confirm that Sarte is just dry as fuck.

also Mrs. Dalloway put me to sleep the first 3 attempts. Reading it now and loving it.

Pride and prejudice bored me to stop, I just think you have to be a woman to enjoy it

yo this album kicks ass. wouldn't it be nice is the shit.

I wish Pynchon would write a novel about Sloop John B I love that song

>>8294652

at the time

like he was the best man at Joan Baez wedding
and left the place in a wood box because there was press outside taking photos
