Does he still posts here?

>>7704208
None

Watchmen (it's psychological and metaphysical capeshit so it's good)
Maus
Persepolis
Akira
Uzumaki (Junji Ito is a safe bet in general)
Tintin (also Asterix if you want more euro-comic fun)
Calvin & Hobbes
From Hell
Lone Wolf & Cub
Ghost World
Anything by Robert Crumb, as long as you're open to lewd and offensive satire (like real offensive, not just haha le anti-PC kid)

There's probably more I'm forgetting, there's a lot of great graphic novels worth your time, but it's late here and my mind is blank. Hope these ones will do for now.

>it's psychological and metaphysica
this is what manchildren who read comics tell themselves

>>7695482
yes I believe it's called "middleschoolism"

>>7695497
That's enlightening.

>>7695482
it's basically just intelligent design placing god far in the background

Why does Kissinger get so much hate? I've rarely seen him praised.

>>7698423
He worked for Nixon

>>7698423

The realism school of foreign policy is pretty detested by a lot of liberals. It already comes off as grim and dry, doesn't help that Kissinger is the international relations version of Ben Stein when it comes to the way he communicates.

You want to read poetry

It's opaque as all hell.

But that's the best part

See the page in the penultimate chapter when it lists everything Bloom finds interesting about water

>>7697764
this

i thought that was the best and most enjoyable part of the book

>>7695495
>Philip Roth
overrated AF. imo his success is attributable to the semitic proclivity to advance one's kind before others

Latin, for starters

Probably English, but I already know it and Spanish. I'd probably go for Latin/ Greek/ Chinese if I learn another

>>7697172
that 's the nominative plural of "bonus", filthy monoglot.
>>7697173
With Spanish what found most bizarre was that some authors, like Marquez, were completely coherent with even some basic Romance language knowledge; others, like Ortega y Gasset were completely incoherent. What is the biggest literary perk to you for knowing Spanish?

Post some recommendations OP.

>>7693400
1. (pic related) A fuckin' monstrosity- probably the best account of Bosnia and it's folk: myself being a Bosnian Serb. If you've heard about the war in Bosnia in the '90s, this book might give you some insight as it was mandatory reading for NATO generals that participated in the conflict.
2. Death and the Dervish- by Mesa Selimovic
3. Gorski Vijenac/The Mountain Wreath- by Petar Petrovic Njegos

no wait, wrong general

>currently reading
Canticle for Leibowitz

>favourite religious inserts
Neither of them were subtle but I liked how Book of the New Sun and Mistborn handled it.

I've never read a book before (not counting children's books when I was small) because I get bored quite easily.
Could anyone recommend me some books that might get me into reading?

get the fuck outta here.

Submittable

>>7696742
Interesting hook, it has to be both similar/identical to YA and yet have a unique element to set it apart

Plotholes, forced drama, ugly teenage female protag.

>>7696742
Get a sex change or something.
