Read libra and mao II first.

Underworld is fucking amazing
ATD is also fucking amazing but gets dry in the middle, if you push through to the finale its entirely worth it and by far Pynchon's best
JR by Gaddis is imo worth reading but only after you've read all of his other works or it comes across as pretentious self indulgent garbage. that or you need the patience of a stone.

also fuck Franzen.

Your taste is shit

Joseph and his Brothers by Mann
On What Matters by Derek Parfit :3

I'd like to recommend you some books:

The Corpus Hermeticum - Hermes Trismigistus

The Consolation of Philosophy - Boethius

Essays in Idleness - Kenko

Because I can get exactly what I want delivered to my front door for cheap.

Cheap
Easy
Better inventory

Punctuation and capitalisation are used to rest the eye between sentences. I find it helps me concentrate more on what the author is trying to say, and let's me easily go back through the text and pick up something I would like to read again. Without it, I suspect the eye would be tired far more quickly having less structure to form a natural pause, and reading for long periods of time would be more difficult and distracting.

What about a character seeking relief and it's less about pleasure and more about the release.

you could frame it more like an illness i guess, but have them acknowledge that they are "meant" to be healthy.

They know it's selfish but it's the only way to cope. Still might be a bit to pretentious.

Make them on the good side. Make them a good sociopath.

Have it so when they talk to the protagonist they come off as unhinged or distant, or if they ARE the protagonist then everyone else doesn't like the looks of them or tries to get away from them or is disturbed.

I remember reading something about how some sociopaths are better soldiers because they feel no remorse, however they still have a compass of sorts and don't want to torture or shoot innocent people because it wouldn't be constructive. Write someone like that. A constructive sociopath. Someone who only sees people as useful tools rather than playthings, and who only sides with the good guys because of his own preconceptions of efficiency and progress.

this is being done all over though. that's the whole james bond series dude.

(If you save pic related, I'd recommend changing the filename to CatCatRorschach or something similar; it's a picture of Catcat, Catdog's cousin)

quotas make me shudder. why would you have to force something that is meant to be pleasurable on yourself?

>>7498730

None. I just read when I like, and because I like to read, I read a lot per day anyway.

I'm also interested. I'd fucking kill myself if I did more school but I'm in STEM.

I did an MA in ancient philosophy, wantd to do a doctorate.

But the ivory tower is so suffocating and the idea of never leaving school became horrifying.

Really glad I left now.To each his own though.
