Reading the first harry potter book in 2nd grade and feeling like a cool big kid

A collection of children's poems in my native language. I was around five years old, my grandmother used to take care of me every afternoon and read with me.

Doesn't this printing have a shitton of errors in it? Why do people keep posting this cover?

>>7714488
pynchon was a meme author, and had no discernible talent. He was shitposting, and is literally genre tier fiction. clearly a juvenile author

>>7714285

Should I take this as a "no," or are you just shitposting?

>>7714267
Both.

Have you read animorphs

>>7713804
Ye those r sick

I liked Vurt alot.

Generation P by Victor Pevin is similar. It mixes scifi with psychedelic experiences and critiques of post Soviet Russian culture.

It's one of the most pathetic exercises in authorial masturbation in recent literary history. I could not separate the image of Rothfuss in powder and wig (and mole) from my reading of the book.

But there are, Game of Thrones and REH have scenes that might rival it in trashiness.

my best friend bought me these books because she really really wanted me to read them.
terrible repetitive prose, blatant self-insertion, completely bland and shit characters.
hesitant to write this just in case i'm shot, but it's always really disheartening to read a fantasy book written as wish fulfillment by some dork with a literal neckbeard that has no interesting or complex female characters whatsoever. its like he just dreamed up some girl he wanted to fuck and threw a few "good" traits in to make her appear anything less that a two dimensional fuck husk.

>My name is Mylorian, I was not born to greatness and my station in life has afforded me no luxuries...but I have one thing the others don't.....Wit. >:PPPP
>With the power of sheer wit, I have sneaked past the king's guards and plan to get a position as the High Alchemist Brovoniar's apprentice.
>Oh my Gods....It's her - Genevievaria....The Most Beautiful Girl in the World...I must make myself worthy of her, make use of my considerable Wit to move up in life and charm her.....
>Oh no, it's Draconius Malfoynyyhueenf.....The rich, privileged, malicious wanker whose wit is simply nothing to mine, which he clearly resents....He's using his power and influence to try and ruin me and steal my Love from me....but I have a few more tricks up my sleeve ;)))

>tfw you have some weird resonance cascade of dissociation that makes all your preconceptions and dumb gay purposes in life denature for like an hour
>tfw you peer through the splinters of your temporarily fragmented worldview and see some kind of authenticity
>tfw it was semi-mystical and you wanted to change all kinds of things in your life because of it
>tfw the hour ends and you can't remember what it was
>tfw you get drunk and post anime on facebook to your normie friends that actually hate you

> You say when I go back you will suck me off and you want me to lick your cunt, you little depraved blackguard. I hope you will surprise me some time when I am asleep dressed, steal over to me with a whore’s glow in your slumberous eyes, gently undo button after button in the fly of my trousers and gently take out your lover’s fat mickey, lap it up in your moist mouth and suck away at it till it gets fatter and stiffer and comes off in your mouth. Sometimes too I shall surprise you asleep, lift up your skirts and open your drawers gently, then lie down gently by you and begin to lick lazily round your bush. You will begin to stir uneasily then I will lick the lips of my darling’s cunt. You will begin to groan and grunt and sigh and fart with lust in your sleep. Then I will lick up faster and faster like a ravenous dog until your cunt is a mass of slime and your body wriggling wildly.

> Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little fuckbird! There is one lovely word, darling, you have underlined to make me pull myself off better. Write me more about that and yourself, sweetly, dirtier, dirtier.”

How am I going to eventually enjoy this part of the meme trilogy if I can't get these passages out of my head?

is there any evidence that he was into this apart from his letters? Honestly if not Joyce could just be memeing posterity

Walser, of course.

This is a great question and I'm going to stay tuned.

To make an attempt to contribute: I feel like you could compare him to poetry, especially stuff like say the symbolists, maybe Pound or Breton.

One of the distinct qualities to Klee's work to me is the sort of primitivism; many of the images and the moods he expresses seem to me to be attempting at some sort of almost unconscious, preternatural imagery. Especially there's some later stuff, and you can see this style evolve, where he paints very glyph-like figures that begin to represent almost a type of alphabet. I dunno if any of this makes sense, I don't know shit about visual art.

>there are literally three (3) useful spells

>but they're evil and the good guys aren't technically allowed to use them

>they still win tho

Also any stoic lit.

The only Poe that I could think of that fits this is The Purloined Letter, and it is a vague match. Maybe the translation is off?

Whos that semen demon

>>7704864
Yeah that's perfect. The stars and obviously fictional blurb are a nice touch

Please. Please stop.
