The Sound and the Fury is my favorite soc Faulkner

Ulysses

The Waves and To the Lighthouse

Zeno's Conscience has some soc moments

Tropic of Capricorn

>>7364665

I came here to say The Sound and the Fury myself.

The Sun Also Rises would probably be a runner up for me, as would Child of God and One Hundred Years of Solitude.

>when the methylated spirits renew your outlook on life

I draw blood from my own veins to replenish my fountain pen, to remind myself that art is pain.

Merely 9/10

Currently writing in OpenOffice.
Turned off most of the autocorrect/autoformatting bullshit, but occasionally it still turns three hyphens into a page break or something dumb.

I read it about two years ago.

Enjoyed it. Listened to the Halo soundtracks while I read to reinforce the sci-fi feeling.

As much as I enjoyed it, though, I didn't really feel an urge to read any of the sequels.

The movie wasn't awful, but with all the cuts and such, I can understand why Lynch had his name pulled.

>>7364413
Something like 40 minutes of the film was cut right?

>>7364425
More than two hours actually

1. Look up a few articles on your topic and copy/paste huge relevant chunks of them into a word document.
2. Edit down the mass block of text until it's the right length for your essay and is a few barely coherent paragraphs written by an idiot.
3. Go through the text line-by-line and replace everything with rewordings and synonyms. Make sure not a single sentence of the essay matches the source text.
4. Add introductions and conclusions to each paragraph.
5. Give your essay a lame and generalized thesis and conclusion like "X is an issue with many contributing and correlating factors."
6. Run your pseudoplagiarized work through Viper Plagiarism Checker (Google) and make edits until you're at 0% plagiarism.
7. Sprinkle a few random citations of related articles you didn't plagiarize.

This is a lot less intimidating and MUCH less work than staring at a blank page and writing an essay from scratcg. Also, you might develop an interest halfway through and actually do the assignment.

Also, want to add that I can clearly see his influence on Pynchon (at least Gravity's Rainbow) with the barrage of irrelevant acronyms, random names, and seamless transitions.

That's great to hear. Tell me, what you think about the Jeeeeews...?

All they wanna do is doodle christian girls..

You don't actually like to read. You like the idea of being a guy who reads a lot.

Look at the calibre of posting here and make your choice. Farrrrrrtttttttttttttttt

>>7363979

I was expecting this a reply like this.

No I don't like the idea of being "a guy who reads". If I did I'd be one those faggots who made a rate my bookshelf post everyday and who lug around their copy of uselessyses for every train ride or just sit in a public park.

I have a kindle and I read mostly in bed or sometimes at my home desk.

Step 1: Stop appropriating my european heritage.
Step 2: There never was and there'll never be a great american novel.

Translate your suffering and angst into art. Write a novella about a man who breaks his leg and, at the same time... his spirit. However, he finds God and marries a beautiful Christian girl. However, she cheats on him and he kills hers and himself.

Not only will reading this book bluepill you, it will also lower your IQ a few points and make you insufferable to be around.

I think the first step is learning how to use real words again, OP.

>muh bluepill/redpill dichotomy

Just go the fuck outside and live life jesus christ.

Who is this pretty city dweller? ;)

I write fetish fiction and make a few hundred bucks a year off of it. It's not much, but it's nice have money specifically bookmarked for drugs.

I think normie romance novels would be a lot harder to make money off of though, my market is an oligopoly, yours would be incredibly competitive.

>>7364069
No idea anon, your guess is as good as mine. Why don't you try google image search?

>>7364086
What type of of fetish fiction?

And only a few hundred bucks a year is not much at all. How much time and effort do you put in to get that money? Is it worth it?

bump for same question, i could also use a good resource

bookdepository? alibris?

Bump.

I use bookdepository for new books and ebay for used ones. Anyone knows anything better?
