Not reading anything /sffg/ right now, but I found some pulpy old Philip K Dicks in a thrift store and I'll probably do one of them next. Which of these would be a good starting point?

(Also, I'm congratulating myself for making it through this post without a "Dick" pun).

Just finished The Last Mortal Bond


Really a disappointing ending for a promising series desu

I only saw one. My library had a copy of Night of the Living Dummy 3. Even at the time I knew it sucked.

I read the first Mostly Ghostly recently... I'm sure I would have liked it more if I was still 9
>nostalgia feels
trading the books around at recess, then seeing the way they'd circulate during the following weeks/months. Sometimes I'd get one of my original ones back, and be in awe of the stories it could probably tell (besides the printed one).

Been over a decade since I last read one.

Still, pic related always stuck with me. Main character was a Robot in Training. I couldn't even tell you the plots to the rest, though I remember really liking them at the time.

Oh man, where do I start? Goosebumps was my life. You weren't cool if you didn't have some of these in your backpack, and a Goosebumps-themed folder/binder/etc.

Then when I was 14 I became a fag, and let my mom donate my "faggy Goosebumps books". It hurts to think about now, OP.

not as good as taming riki/10

Aight I'll read it in the next five minutes then give you my eval.

Okay I'm done. Only took two minutes, shorter than I expected for a Tolstoy. It's not very impressive. Some evocative descriptions of moral and mental isolation I suppose. I give it an F, one star, 2/10. Next please

One of his best works.

post-modernism pls go

>>7867435

in other words you want to prompt a response that tries to reorganise the scattershot idealogies you evoke.

it's a metaphor for recapturing order armong disparate post-structuralist frameworks.

>>7867440
deleuze may be post-modern insofar as period is concerned but he hardly insists on there being no truth or any games like that, in fact he provides a much more robust theory of ontology and epistemology than continentals and analytics alike
>>7867453
indeed. but you only answer one question.

I've always been more of a verbal than a visual thinker and I have trouble visualizing a scene in my head unless I pause and make a conscious effort to try to conjure up images. It's never prevented me from reading or enjoying any literature though.

I'll start:

There was something about the city that made her skin crawl with a kind of primordial disgust that evades explanation.

I heard somewhere that there are parts of Senegal more French than France. Probably somewhere over there.

what's so special about paris in the 20s?

The Internet

I've read about 250 pages over the last 3 days, just under 300 pages in. I don't see why everyone has been saying that the book only picks up about 200 pages in, I've been enjoying it more or less from the start, what exactly was supposed to have changed?

let's all agree to get rid of this stupid ass 'comfy' meme

How the fuck is "as i lay dying" comfy in any way?

Do you consider foul odor from a decomposing body to create a comfy atmosphere?
