How might we accurately judge the relative value of your time without knowing you?

it would probably be better to read amazon reviews than to ask people here.

Alternatively write that you discovered something really terrible in the government, pack your things into suitcases, write that you'll notify your family of where you are once you come out of hiding, then strangle yourself with some cable or something and pretend you were struggling.

Why would you read any of them in order?

The Joan of Arc one was Twain's personal favorite

>>8264403
Also, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are his best known works and are a good start

Are you from India?

So you believe this was in the book? Which character, and in what context would this apply to?

>>8264204
check the last danyras chapter from dance with dragons

>Which character, and in what context would this apply to?

Arya after escaping from Kings Landing or Daenerys being abandoned by most of the Dothraki after the death of Khal Drogo.

I read it a few years ago and while it is by no means a "difficult" book to read I thought it was very enjoyable. I thought the best parts were the protagonist's flashback scenes.

it's fine. nowhere near as good or funny as american psycho.

He has a good mind for set pieces, especially when it comes to shock value. But I didn't find myself buying into his premise of society-wide moral decay. I never got the idea that I was watching something that could happen anywhere outside of a small group of rich kids in the lonely city of LA.

The edgy shock scenes started to get juvenile and tiresome, but not so bad as to be unforgivable.

This would be a part of alternative history since he won't win.

There have been various information agents that have posted on /pol/ warning us so. I'm not one to blindly believe some anon poster on 4chan claiming to have knowledge but their predictions do seem to fall inline with the current geopolitical climate.

>>8264153
I mean ever since I read/watched his stuff, most other shows and fantasy books are boring and pale by comparison just in the lack of character depth alone.

>>8264125
why do you want a scary book? if you want to be scared, movies are way better for that. if you want a good book - lots of the best aren't scary

>>8264137
I'm not sure why but i'm just really drawn to horror and horror movies don't scare me at all. What genre are the best books generally? And what are some I should check out?

>>8264125
Finnegans Wake

With all the cameras today one might feel they are a Truman.

>>8264138
I dont get how anyone could think that they killed many, many innocent Japanese people and would want to be friends with one of the most evil people in history (Stalin) just because they take a bunch of selfies

I hope they don't blow it.

Haha so funny OP you rated in one star

I started it yesterday, really makes you think.

>>8264766
is it shit ? I've never read a book with less than 3.79 on goodreads. I'm scared.

>>8264058
Neither.

Empson > Eliot > power gap > Kermode > Jameson > Bloom

Not even being edgy. It's simply that Bloom talks more than he has things to say. Especially on Shakespeare, he doesn't have anything interesting to say. His best is his early work on Wallace Stevens and Shelley. He's simply memed himself in pop culture by pretending he's the only one in all of academia who knows Stephen King is shit.

Jameson wrote some interesting stuff about utopia and how post-modernism is garbage but at the end of the he's a deluded Marxist so we have to pity him.

>>8264194
>Bloom
One time he returned a student's paper with nothing but the phrase "Admissions Error?" written on the front page in red ink.
