You should read Fight Club instead of pretending you did because you saw the film. Angst? What? Can you back that up?

90's literature is overlooked here on lit you say?

Probably anything else by Stoppard.

It's shite. Bad copy of the U.S.A. Trilogy by Dos Passos. Really not worth your time. Could have been edited much more/

i watched the chinsese movie :^)

I happened to see it in a bookstore and picked it up and leafed like 15 pages of stylistically formatted tables of contents and title and subtitle pages and a print of a photograph to read the first sentence or two and he used "seemed" twice so I put it back in disgust.

>>7601267

I liked it, second best Camus imo.

Camus was amazing.

I had a long day sir. Give me a break. Also excuse the rest of the errors in my sentence structure.

>Tundra
Cool, mate. I'm currently reading Hypersphere. It's quite entertaining, there's a lot of things going on, but really there isn't.

My first Pynchon, probably should have read his others works first, but whatever. I really like the setting, partially because I think NYC is a good environment for books, movies, etc. In this book, there definitely is a lot going on. I can read a chapter and sit for minutes on end thinking about what it means.

>What did he mean by this?

you dont.

Is that the French adaptation of Free Willy?

I came here to post this.

For me, they're all degenerates. You can't write if you're not of sound mind (see the inferior literature of blacks, women, liberals [drug-abusers], and gays).

im pretty sure opiates chemically limit creativity or something but in my experience writing on coke (and to an extent pharmaceutical stimulants) is really something, shit just pours out and you can edit/quality control later if you want. booze also helps the words come but they always seem pretty stupid afterwards

>>7599990
No. Drugs make your work sound like utter nonsense and those using them should be thrown in prison for polluting the streets with their presence.

Around 50 too. Also non-fiction. Just finished Outsiders by Howard S Becker. Will finish the Capital now.
You'll notice pages have fewer or more words from book to book. Just stick to 50 and you're fine. If you feel you can go for 75 on special days after you've done them, don't hesitate.

I don't count pages but generally I do an hour in the afternoon and an hour or two in bed at night.

>>7599028
300-500 pages/week

Nice OP, can you recommend me some writers?

What have you liked the most?

I think it rained outside as we
drank until the cigarettes ran out
and the two girls in front of Whole Foods
kissed

Transgressive fiction is for chumps. Surrealist, absurdist, and existentialist fiction is where the real morbidity and gut-wrenching lies.

Guts is for teenagers. In fact, all of Palahniuk is.

I used to own a copy of Apocalypse Culture, that was fun. Lots of essays/interviews with "outsiders", some shit, some great (like that interview with the guy who hangs his skin on hooks to be closer to God)
