Lotta spooks. Lotta mooks. Lotta youks.

I am perfectly okay if nothing I write ever even gets published. I enjoy writing. What is nobler or more fulfilling than pure creation?

>le everything is a spook xD *holds up spork*

Stirner was an incredibly insecure and defensive man, his cold persona was born out of him being a literal cuckold to both his wife and the Catholic Church.

I love The Call of the Wild and White Fang, I think they're best read together.

Some of my all-time favs

Easy/quick reads:

My Ántonia - Cather
The Age of Innocence - Wharton
Smith of Wootton Major - Tolkien
Anthem - Rand
If on a winter's night a traveler - Calvino

Long/hard reads:

Mason & Dixon - Pinecone
Le Morte d'Arthur - Malory
Middlemarch - Eliot

Poetry:

Transformations - Sexton
Assorted poems by C. Rossetti, Swinburne, Tennyson

Obscure stuff that'll make you feel smart:

The Red Lily - France
Daughter of the elm - Hall

I love that book. Straightforward, yet beautifully written.

i just wanted to say what i wanted to say

I bought old versions of War and Peace and The Brothers Karamazov today, the covers, I think, were trying to attract middle-aged single women.

The covers are ugly but at least they were cheap.

Whats this got to do with Corncob?

Why does this cover look like a spongebob title screen lmoa

>>7983973
Yes, it is.

Read the first 50 pages. You can read the rest of you enjoy. Otherwise you're pretty much good.

2/10 cheesy and forced af

good god I wish hemingyway spawned some imitators.

>>7983965
How would you fix it?

I haven't read it.

I'm still reading Capital.

My friend did an ironic dramatic reading of it at a bar once when we were seventeen.

How about none because my hometown is in the middle of nowhere.

Childhood's End was good and inspired a lot of thngs, like Evangelion.

His prose is bad.

>>7983766
His prose early on wasn't great, like a lot of pulp-era sci-fi writers, but have you read any of his late-career books? It gets better.

2001, Rama, The City and the Stars, Childhoods End, all ultra original/insightful sci fi

dostoyevsky

Dostoevsky is the main perpetrator.
Gogol got heavily into it in his later life, but it isn't obvious in his works.
Tolstoy was a heretic.
Orthodox posters usually recommend Way of the Pilgrim, Philokalia and Desert Fathers.

>dropping a book because it was on the most popular and cited print sales list

For the better.
Books are gateways to other worlds, worlds that expand your point of view.
Good message for people of all ages.

None. Never watched his show. The books he covers looks like pleb shit anyway.
