I don't know how you're getting that reaction. I found that book to be really fun and funny. Enjoyed myself with it much more than with the other peaux-meaux doorstoppers /lit/ loves.

He writes rather well, but he just really overestimates how profound his ideas are. Kind of like John Fowles on steroids. Too obsessed with how clever his book idea is.

Gaddis didn't say it. One of his characters did.

The notion of queer has changed a lot, but in the sense that the character uses it -- that is, not sexually interested in women -- I would say that his statement is untrue and true at this sa----

Fuck it. This is shitposting in a shit thread.

Novellas and plays, mostly. And when there's a free pdf on google and I don't feel like buying it or going to the library. You get used to it, especially if the laptop is light and easily portable

Not sure about any of your main questions, but as for the bonus question: basically nobody cared about the rest of the epic cycle. Homer is idolized and constantly referenced as early as Plato, and the rest of the story of Troy is never even mentioned. Homer is THE poet, Achilles and Odysseus are THE heroes. I haven't seen any indications that anyone really cared how the Trojan war concluded until Virgil basically decided to finish writing the story. Even then loads of minor stories, like the arrival at Troy of a younger generation of soldiers, sons of the heroes already fallen.

Loeb "Greek epic fragments" is ok for the rest of the epic cycle, but honestly you won't glean too much from it if you're not used to reading fragmented texts. Also I saw some book on amazon called "the epic cycle," but considering how little source material survived and how little it seems to have been cared about, I never bothered with it, but you may want to check it out.

I'll tell you a sure way to do it. It's quite easy, it's a service that lets you post whater the hell it is you want to post in an article fashion, but it'll cost you $5 U.S. and it'll advertise it to as many Facebook and Blogspot Sceince and philosophy related users and groups. (i'm being enitrely serious)

But first you gotta post a picture of your self with a shoe on your head.

She's a dumb bitch only slightly better than the sjws she sometimes slams

It's a brutal book without being edgy about it. The violence is just part of the environment.

Remind me again, why does Toadvine burn the hotel, some guy stole his horse?

There is also a lot more brutality in the book. Babies getting fucked up and all.

> It gets worse, huh?

Yeah, a lot worse. But don't read it solely for the disturbing violence because you'll probably grow tired of the book if that's all you read it for.

Yes, but you can also read 'The Judgment' that tells you enough about his daddy issues.

Literally nobody has read it.

That's another part. He goes into a seizure from alcohol withdrawal after spending days in a public bathroom trying to ease his heroin withdrawal with codeine/alcohol cough syrup, AFAIR. He has visions of his father, I think, and nearly swallows his tongue.

What the fuck do I care if you read it or not. What a shit fucking thread. I hope you feel bad about being this fucking reliant on other people to do any fucking thing that you can't even pick up a fucking book by yourself.

It's not a book you'll be likely to enjoy unless the (original) meme trilogy was compelling for you.
