How do I get into this? Are there any pre-reqs or must reads before diving in? Im ready to tackle this thing but I wanna make sure I get the absolute most out of it. Also would mind finding a nice hardcover box set for under $50, but I suppose /lit/ can't help me with that.

Just read it, look into some competent translations, buy the first volume, don't go all in until you're comfortable with doing so, and have at it.

What's so special about this book? I'm reading it now and it's definitely good, but I don't see why Celine is famous or important. Is the problem that I'm reading a translation?

You can find merit in pop culture, but people who do nothing but talk and think about it are morons.

no

being an english major is much better for developing a love for literature imo

No, you could feasibly have a job and browse /lit/

Hell no, enough of these asinine questions already.

Looks like your book lacks of text, is that house of leaves or some other gimmicky meme book?

Hi, just saw this in a thrift store, is this pleb friendly? Just got into reading and want to read something by borges, but i listened that this is considered a "hard" or "dense" book, what do you guys think?
4 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
Read it. Books can be read and enjoyed on different levels.
>>
>>7638949
It's not hard, it's very fun to read, but it is dense for fiction.
It's cool to try your hand at it and its ok to miss stuff because you are, at the very least, being introduced to it which is always a neccessary struggle.
>>
You will always miss stuff with Borges, nigga is deep as fuck. The hardest story is I guess Tlön, Uqbar... but even if you don't get some of the references to philosophers and shit you will enjoy it.

ITT we share our recent hauls and other anons rate, comment, tell us what to read first, etc

Pic related is mine, these are mostly my dad's books, borrowed 'em. Makes me sad to think I lived in the same house with them for twenty years and never checked them out. The one you can't make out in pic is "The Possessed" by Dostoevsky

I decided to start reading for pleasure this week. I finished Godforsaken Idaho by Shawn Vestal. really liked it

I tried to enjoy Loteria by Mario Alberto Zambrano, and And Now You Can Go by Vendela Vida, but they were both incredibly boring.

I also checked out American Psycho and Filth.

Just started Pocket Kings and it's pretty funny.

bought all these in the last month.

The bottom right is poetry from an Instagram chick. There's some good stuff there, but mostly pop poetry.

I recently purchased some books which I intend to read.
