Why would you even pick up a book like that?

This is a tumblr board, frog poster. Go back to /r9k/ or /Pol/ if you're an anti-intellectual fascist, racist, sexist, Islamophobic, cis-sexist, capitalist fucking weenie.

This is a literature board, SJW scum. Go back to tumblr or reddit if you're an anti-intellectual fascist, racist, sexist, heterophobic, progressive, communist fucking weenie.

There was a German physician-poet who wrote pretty disgusting poems about surgery. I'm sure if you look at supervert's translated poetry on his website you could find this poet. I believe he belongs to the modernist period.

You're talking about Gottfried Benn? He worked in a morgue.

Der Mund eines Mädchens, das lange im Schilf gelegen hatte,
sah so angeknabbert aus.
Als man die Brust aufbrach, war die Speiseröhre so löcherig.
Schließlich in einer Laube unter dem Zwerchfell
fand man ein Nest von jungen Ratten.
Ein kleines Schwesterchen lag tot.
Die anderen lebten von Leber und Niere,
tranken das kalte Blut und hatten
hier eine schöne Jugend verlebt.
Und schön und schnell kam auch ihr Tod:
Man warf sie allesamt ins Wasser.
Ach, wie die kleinen Schnauzen quietschten!

The mouth of a girl who had long lain in the reeds
looked so chewed up.
When we broke open the torso, the esophagus was so full of holes.
Finally in a bower under the diaphragm
we found a nest of young rats.
One little sister rat lay dead.
The others were living off liver and kidney,
drinking the cold blood and enjoying
a fine childhood.
And fine and fast was their death too:
we threw the whole bunch into water.
Oh, how those little snouts squeaked!

Thanks, you've helped me a lot.

Norwegian Wood

nah norwegian wood will pale in comparison imo, try wind up bird chronicle, hardboiled wonderland, or 1q84

>>8168619
Norwegian wood is much better, doesn't have nonsensical lolsorandumb murakami magical realism.
Anyways you should only read murakami if you have nothing else to read

Fake it until you make it. :)

That's like being obsessed with porn but not enjoying fapping.

Well then, /lit/ is the place for you.
Just parrot things you hear others say about books, and know what agrees/disagrees with you, and insult people who like stuff that disagrees with you!

/pol/ack who gets a rise out of the pseudo-intellectuals on this board reporting.

being in the ever present danger of getting malaria/aids gets you on edge in a constant way that cocaine alone could never facilitate

Fuck the third world

it's not literature

Kind of boring, but good in other ways. I never finished it (started back in highschool), but I remember some rich guy saying that it was one of the most influential books he'd ever read. Yeah, too bad it was just boring, bullshit science though

Turns out, Gogol is po-mo! /lit/ is full of discoveries

Holy damn, your handwriting is atrocious. Are those supposed to be A's or triangles

>>8167706
Triangles, these are post modern names.

desu isn't subversion of expectations a good thing though senpai?

>first 53 novels are garbage
>OP reads number 54 anyway

what the fuck was he thinking?

>>8167675
What do you expect? The only good things he's written were The Shining and the short story collection Different Seasons. For the rest he just gets stoned and plops out some drivel and it's sure to make the best seller lists.

Bet if you wrote a book, no matter how shit, you would be your mothers favourite author.

>>8167612
What if my parents have died before I wrote one?

if you even release 1 book you'll be someones favorite author. in fact releasing only 1 book gives you a higher chance at being someone's favorite author because they'll use your obscurity to heighten their own self worth when talking about literature with their friends.
