Gogol is pretty comfy, at least what i read

people are gonna say LotR is comfy but i think it drags a lot, i read it once in my life and i think that's enough

if you are under 16, or a mom, Harry Potter

hemmingway probably was, sadly enough.

Borges is one of my favorite writers, but who are some other great writers that he influenced? The only one that immediately comes to mind is Gene Wolfe.

Joyce is shit and no amount of /lit/ memeing can make him not shit

because it's the great american novel.

>>7523367
It's some of the best the U.S. has been able to spit out. It's not better than a lot of other novels, but goddamnit it's good for an American.

the son was sacrificed so that we would know and so that the Jews would know we are forgiven. in orthodox Judaism the Jews sacrifice something to atone for their sins, usually livestock. the biggest sacrifice they usually made was a well-bred lamb this is why Christ is called the lamb of god because he is the great atonement and sacrifice

>>7522751
but why do we need to sacrifice something to atone for sins? So God sacrificed himself to himself to redeem man? Himself in human form that is. I'm confused.

>>7522751
ok so nobody can answer this. great thread

Teatro Grotesco by Thomas Ligotti

I think some of the stories are body horror like Naked Lunch and I like ones that are creepy underneath the surface rather than conventionally trying to scare you.

looks nice, I'm searching for the troop by nick cutter as well, have you read it?

Horacio Quiroga - Cuentos de amor de locura y de muerte(Tales of love madness and death)
Exactly what it says it is. I read it when i was really young and don't remember the details, but it had gruesome scenes of the death of a horse (iirc), children killing children, etc...

Translations don't matter too much with Dumas. Nobody reads him for his prose.
