Dude just fucking read it already and stop making these threads

>>8099096
By ''dude'' you mean the whole of /lit/? I barely post here.
I dont want to go into a 600 pages book I know I won't get anything from.

>>8099110
you can read any piece of literature and not get anything out of it. what you pull is from your own ability to close read, extrapolate, and comprehend what the letters on the pages mean.

finnegans has a 'skeleton key' online. read the book with it if you like. make a decision. safety is overrated. go into it.

Step it up, senpai.

post a picture of the first page, and i'll read it with you

i'll tell you when im done

I've read the Eye of the World. It never becomes the story you're expecting. It's like Eragon, but worse.

>>8097597
I loved it when I read it. But that was back in 7th grade. If you like epic fantasy this should make you happy

no?

oh i remember that feel. it blew me too when i found it. specially his essay on religion. and you could read his further essays, local knowledge. or you could try symbolic anthropology, such as victor turner or mary douglas.

his essay anti-antirelativism is a particularly good one, i dont remember if it is in LK or in available light.

also, anthropology is too much for lit so dont expect much answers.

ah and dont give up on levi strauss. he is worth the effort even if of course he is not good as a start. as a hint i can tell you that reading structural linguistics helps, cause he is basicalle doing the same but exchanging language for culture. jakobson, troubetzkoy and the prague cirlce in general. saussure and benvniste too if the others are too abstract.

the Bible permeates all levels of Abrahamic religious study, so don't be intimidated by it thinking you need to read something else first

>>8095563
Wordsworth or Goethe are good starts

my diary desu

Home fuck.

I just realized I already lived out my fetish, but after the fact.

>>8091864
English here. But I have enough room in my schedule to take classes in creative writing, film, East Asian studies, and anthropology as well.

smbc is even worse than xkcd

word on default settings other than autocorrect being turned off

Uh, yeah, *chuckles at OP*, I use ACTUAL software meant for published writers like MasterWriter and Writer's Blocks.

Currently I'm testing Power Structure WriteItNow. ; )

No.

Animal farm is literally required reading for many secondary schools. Get over yourself

Animal farm has nothing to do with political literacy, go back to your shithole, dumb /pol/ poster

you aren't fooling anyone with your rec thread by the way

Even though it's not the genre you are looking for, you should choose heart of darkness.

finnegan's wake

>mfw africans read it
>becomes their new bible
>savages treat Joyce's dick puns as gospel and kill each other over different interpretations

a man can dream

Gravity's Rainbow because he wrote before he zapped his mind to mush with twenty years of nothing but weed and Bugs Bunny cartoons.

You clearly haven't read any of Pynchon's later works

>>8102507
Against the Day

Because it's so much Pynchon that you're actually on the verge of asking the question if he is writing a parody on himself.

Apart from that the period in which the novel takes place is great for a mixture of science fiction and adventure with a good dash of the literary.

I wouldn't pay $2.99 for a second hand Vintage edition of this dense and cold turd of a novel, let alone 140 fucking dollars.

It doesn't even look nice.

>>8102596
about $90

Is that really how he wanted it published? If so, it is pretty cool and I might go for it.

what an oxymoron

Maybe if your Michael Arnold

>>8102435
No. Read back in high school for some AR points and it was just pure dog shit. I was quite lenient of YA back then too.
