Don't give us this NRX/Nietzsche bullshit.

Its written by a woman

>>7598873
because it's about muh oppreshun and written by a dirty, filthy inferior whore of a female.

It's being pushed by a certain group of people. I needn't say more. But it's to make women breed with blacks.

>other than its cultural context of having been used as an aid to the civil rights movement?
Is that not enough?

>>7598438
The Davinci Code

>>7598439
You know, I actually enjoyed this book. I know I'm supposed to hate it, but I find Dan Brown's storytelling fun for what it is.

>I know I'm supposed to hate it

When will this fucking idea die? You aren't SUPPOSED to hate or like anything and until you get out of even referencing this you are a pleb and that's the end of it. God dammit go learn how to think for yourself faggot

I personally enjoy it a lot, have yet to read Old School.

Last one I read was Rockrick Rules. It was pretty good.

>>7595349

I guess I'll start.

Didn't read as much as 2014. Hopefully I'll get more done this year.

Far Tortuga was fucking incredible. So was Under The Volcano.

Good taste

>Francis Fukuyama
I wrote my highest marked assignment for my history degree on why he's wrong as fuck

I didn't get to read much of his work but I really liked The Erl-King

RIP

Ah, I suppose a thread about the death of a giant of French literature will get a sticky, right?

>>7600108
Why the fuck would it? The average French reader isn't aware of half the great writers in English, I see no reason why the reverse would not be true.

Calibre

calibre does work on an android tablet? well I never though, thank you

>>7599834
I believe its Calibre Companion.

The universal book reader looks pretty based too.

>One need only look at a woman’s shape to discover that she is not intended for either too much mental or too much physical work. She pays the debt of life not by what she does but by what she suffers—by the pains of child-bearing, care for the child, and by subjection to man, to whom she should be a patient and cheerful companion. The greatest sorrows and joys or great exhibition of strength are not assigned to her; her life should flow more quietly, more gently, and less obtrusively than man’s, without her being essentially happier or unhappier.

We are absurdly accustomed to the miracle of a few written signs being able to contain immortal imagery, involutions of thought, new worlds with live people, speaking, weeping, laughing. We take it for granted so simply that in a sense, by the very act of brutish routine acceptance, we undo the work of the ages, the history of gradual elaboration of poetical description and construction, from the treeman to Browning, from the caveman to Keats. What if we awake one day, all of us and find ourselves utterly unable to read? I wish you to gasp not only at what you read but at the miracle of its being readable...

/lit/ was a mistake

>>7598711
Local library?

State you are doing some research and ask the place you know has it

Profit

Also dat pic
>cannabis
>sulphur
>ferrite
>chloroform

What the fuck

>>7598729
Thank you for the suggestion, but it is unlikely that they would carry this text. I was considering perhaps, the British library; but what I'm really looking for is a personal copy.

Yeah, that's some pretty nice cough syrup - wouldn't you say?

I haven't read this one yet. But so far I can tell you that Beckett is truly a master.

By the way, what did you think of the ending of Molloy?("It is midnight. The rain is beating on the windows It was not midnight. It was not raining.")
Do you think it's about the narrator's role (which would switch from Moran to Beckett)? Or is it more about the time, hence the switch of tense...
I'm really interested.
