I just shit post all day

He wrote on Twitter that he attempted Faulkner's other stuff but gave up. Why would he recommend another one of his books?

I really want to see him do some 19th century Russian classics that haven't been reviewed on YT. Even some 20th century Russians are worth reviewing.

something more interesting than either of those

I hate his face.

try bookfinder and ebay for alternative options.

Boi you better not have just lumped Hackett in with print on demand

>>9799377

Love E Michael Jones. I'm not religious but I appreciate his perspective. He doesn't mince words and I thoroughly enjoyed both "The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit" and "Libido Dominandi". Would love to check out "Barren Metal" aswell.

>>9798924
Why havn't you converted to Orthodoxy?

>>9798924
Pretty funny coming from a heretic. There is only one true church, all others are in theological and dogmatic error.

I see youve been reading hypersphere

How's that a problem?
I love it when books have too many endnotes, the more the merrier.
Especially when you have books which have nearly the same amount of pages dedicated to endnotes as the text itself.
>tfw you can have a discussion about the book with the author of the notes instead of going on /lit/

it's difficult to find a truly unabridged, however i read what i recall was an unabridged, (possibly not) and i thoroughly enjoyed it. it's a matter of patience, but after a certain event, things get fairly interesting. it's a book for young people looking for adventure and old men musing over revenge. i was the former and am looking forward to being the latter. i say unabridged. good luck, hope you enjoy it!

>>9798587
Just read the wiki summary

>>9798587
I wouldn't read abridged but I'm 70 pages in and there's a few parts already that I skimmed because they seemed completely way too unnecessarily wordy.

The Invention of Morel

Calling bullshit on this one.

ITT Things that never happened

my diary desu

hst made up lots of shit like political candidates that had drug addictions (total lies). its hard to tell what was real and what wasn't which can be attributed to drugs and insanity

Dang. Title got me excited you were about to talk about my region for once, /lit/. If you come Rio Grande way, read pic related. Author is the same Fehrenbach who fought in Korea and wrote This Kind Of War. Otherwise I'd say go learn about the Spanish who made first contact:

The Teachings Of Don Jaun.

Sure, its all esoteric bullshit but it fits the theme perfectly. Takes place in Arizona/Mexico.

Southern Cal is Bukowski country, at least LA County is. The collection of stories Erections, Ejaculations is first-rate, and his first novel, Post Office, is a great read.

Michael Connelly is the best crime fiction writer in the business, although he's lost quite a bit off his fastball of late. But prime Harry Bosch, set in LA, is great stuff; Connelly was a crime beat reporter for the LA Times for ten years -- that's what gives his books an edge that few crime writers can match. Trunk Music is top-notch, and City of Bones is real good, too. Both have some beautifully observed sequences of LA life, eg, the opening scene of Trunk Music, set behind the Hollywood Bowl. Speaking of which, visit the Hollywood Bowl this summer, anon. Maybe a little classical music. It can be a real sweet vibe. I have some fond memories of pleasant evenings spent at the Hollywood Bowl.

it was decent

It's ok. Not nearly as good as I expected though.

>>9798077
Very much, yes

The Penguin Deluxe classics edition has one missing line which has been fixed in later editions. People will tell you the thing is filled with egregious typos, but no one's ever pointed them out. Just get whatever. The old vintage Where's Waldo one is ugly, so don't get that one.

>People will tell you the thing is filled with egregious typos, but no one's ever pointed them out.
Yeah, that's the only thing keeping me from picking up a copy at the moment. I just want to be sure I spend money in the right place and don't fuck myself.

>>9798011
I have that penguin edition. Serious wear and tear from reading through it once. I don't like the penguin deluxe because of the pages. I've got a used first edition paperback but it's falling apart, got it for like $6
