It's early post-postmodernism

Captures the post-war youth and mindlessness of the the death and change plagued plagued society which evolves as fast as Holden's life, and in which people cannot remain innocent and stick to the old ways, just like Holden cannot remain innocent and childlike.

And yes, he knows how to write like an edgy kid.

It's esoteric eastern mysticism packed to a Christian audience

Of course there is money if you can attract enough readers. The Girl on the Train sold millions of copies in the US alone.

Selling the rights to Hollywood is where the money is.

You don't do it for the money

It's not that people don't read anymore, it's just that it's only middle-aged women who read nowadays.

>short stories collection plus a side collection of flash fiction
>usually whatever weird ideas i have cobbled together from things i see or hear - no youre not having them
>3 short stories that equate to about 50 odd pages, though non will make my final collection and about a dozen flash fiction pieces that are each only a paragraph or two long
>my flash fiction that I'll put online is coming on swimmingly but theres little effort to them when the plot equates to a paragraph. Two genuine ideas for my shorts collection have reduced me to writers block; i know where they are going its the path thats a little muddy

Crash and the film, Crash.

>>7609610
Always Crashing In the Same Car by Bowie

I was going to be deliberately twee and suggest Snow Crash, but you've probably already read it.

Interesting concept, why don't you write it?
There's also a deliberate crash in Sideways, although I've only seen the film.

You want non-hippy books on chakras?

... will you listen to yourself?

>Though.. perhaps thats inherently what Id be reading about.

I know what I said man, but I'm hoping there are some books that are less "hippie" and more.. I can't think of a better word for it? Factual?

>>7609573
There aren't any factual books on it because it's a spiritual subject, not a factual one.

it's a comedy of Aristophanes - what do you want to know

Looks like it's in latin and about or by Aristotle.

No need to thank me, OP.

In interest of not emptily bumping this thread here are some artful literary titties.

I'm about 95% certain he hasn't been back since.

As am I. Couldn't hurt, though.
I actually found a supposed English copy online for a normal price. Pretty sure the description is accurate, but not sure I really want it on my shelf, especially since I already own Lolita.

I can't wait for weed to go the way of cigarettes; friends and family patronisingly telling you to quit, people looking at you annoyed when you stink up the pavement, being asked to leave the room to Indulge in your filthy habit because cracking the window open just isn't enough.

Drugs books

Pharmako/Poeia
Pharmako Gnosis
Pharmako Dynamis
By Dale pendell

Doors of perception- Huxley
Game of life - Leary / Wilson
Tmac's stuff.

The pharmako series is top notch

>>7608716
Oh I should endorse pihkal and tihkal as well.

"I don't want to do anything anymore ever again" is grammatically correct and it's meaning is altered if you remove anything from it.

I want to do nothing forever.

>>7607429
But you can rephrase it, which is what OP wants

It has helped me to accept the diversity without attempting to fit it in a coherent whole in regards of me as a human being in relation to others.
It was very much therapeutical.

What's the best book to start with Wittgenstein ?

KJV then.

The New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha: New Revised Standard Version Fourth Edition

OR

http://www.bibliotheca.co/#about Which is pretty cool and crowdfunded


Also use these two lectures alongside them.
http://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-145
http://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-152

And their textbooks are easily pirateable. Pretty good introduction to biblical studies (albeit a somewhat critical liberal approach)

>The Double for Dostoyevsky

Hardly. It's his best work pre-arrest, certainly better than Poor Folk.
Here is his worst book.

Compared to atlas shrugged fountainhead is pretty good
