I read it.

The parts about Stalingrad are top tier. The parts about life in the Soviet state are obviously written with censorship in mind and while not bad, are a bit boring.

>>7822929
Ah right, so the soviet war is better than the soviet peace. Does the book speak about physics much? I know the main character is a physicist

>>7822983
Not actual physics, more like tenure battles in the context of Soviet system.

more like gep-pedo

more works in the vein of pedocchio?

Smoking weed and writing Mason & Dixon.

(I remember from another thread on the exact same topic.)

enjoying the prime of his life

Working as a technical writer and raising a family, probably.

With the exception of Borges (debatable) Argentina has no discernible talent

Latin America has great literature, and it is beating both Spain and Portugal for quite some time now.

You don’t have even read anything of that part of the world and yet somehow find yourself in the position to call a lot of material “shit”.

Not me, writing and literature have gotten me more pussy than a toilet seat.

CAN YOU STOP PUTTING SALT IN THE WOUND

If you read literature to cope with no qt3.14gf it's probably a more endemic problem that is pervasive in all areas of your social life. To answer your question, no, I latched on to literature as escapism for being a hopeless NEET.

i swear lit is better than this

>>7823115
If only.

It is good, won't even try.

it was ok i guess. genealogy of morals is better desu

I discovered this board about three years ago and I had posted a thread asking which books to read for someone who has not read anything besides some books for young kids when growing up. The first comment was this book. I had purchased it and it still sits in my bookshelf untouched after realizing I couldn't get past the first 5 pages.

a practical example of an 'absurd man'
an extremely simple and barebones book that probably wont mean anything unless you read some explanation of it

graduating high school

Just fucking read it

absolutely. you get one after 500 book. but? if you wait and get to 1000 book, you get to the next qt tier. they have to be real books though, no large-prints or cut-and-rebind short stories (I tried)

I don't care if you read books. In fact, I don't want you to.

Knowledge is for the capable and the ignorant unwashed masses shouldn't waste their time pretending to understand Goethe and Epictetus.

The Super Mario Brothers and My Little Pony are more your speed.

1. You were an infant once. It's never too late to start thinking.
2. Like what you do is challenging or important. Just stare at paper until you can drop names and point at other people's ideas. How's your cashier job treating you?
3. For the love of god never become a teacher or a parent you pretentious faggot.

this is pillars of eternity, right?

it didn't have very good writing even by vidya standards. total disappointment

One of main problems with that game was bad writing. There were still some individual moments I liked, durance for example.

Some of the Ultima games have pretty good writing

did it look like this?

>>7822815
It looked 99% like that , except for the placing and fading of the spacecraft being wrong.
It really was like the picture I've placed.

It really does look similiar though!!
Thank you!

Also, whats the book called???

>>7821847
I want to chuckle while I choke Chuck the cuck.

Rant is interesting. Fight club is great when you're seventeen. Lullabye was hard to trudge through, reading snuff was like getting gayraped. Survivor was painful. Then I discovered /lit/ and decent writers.

Invisible Monsters

I don't know, CAN you?

I am not able to purchase it on amazon. I am poor.

>>7821744
you should know your Deleuze-Guattari, your Kant, and your Hegel.

/lit/ has lots of opinions

>>7821678
every opinion of every topic in /lit/ is wrong

Except mine.

A fucking mess.
It's nothing but a mindless incoherent rambling of bullshit with sugar coating.

I'd say it's the best example of when pop-science is taken too seriously.
