There is a book in my dreams.
A fantastic book about celtic/breton myths written by some french writer. Very colorful descriptions.
Rather for younger audience so it's not Julien Gracq.
Does it really exist?

Well, that is simple, OP. You just keep on trying to suck your own dick until your neck snaps.

Could it possibly be the case that OP imposes his own conception of the world on the words of other people? Nah. Sorry for doubting you.

Most of what I read is old. It's making me feel out of the loop.
Do you read many new books?
How do you follow along?

First it was the zombies... They took us by surprise but eventually we managed to equalize or numbers and create steongholds many arouns the globe now live peaceful lives amound or new zombie kin, some re purposed prisons, some created forest town high upen the tree tops, some dug deep in the frozen wasteland waking the long forgotten wingged lizards, where uppon we found what at first seemed a new enemy, but once the dense lizards realized they could become zombies as well the joined the aide of the living.. The ones that still could.. And now after all of this... We meet a new enemy. From the stars...

I just heard of him for the first time. Is he worth reading or what? I'm asking about The Century Trilogy specifically.

He's pretty good middle brow history novelist. He's better than Dan Brown, but he ain't as good as Umberto Eco.

I am smart but lazy, but I want to start reading more. I just don't have the motivation to read big books with big words. Any good authors that write things ~100 pages. Don't really care what language it's in as long as it's not written by some assclown trying to use big words to dazzle his audience and impress the brainlets. Give me something short and sweet /lit/. Maybe even some books on tape or good talks. Lately I've just been listening to pic related talking to Krishnamurti. Don't really care for fantasy or mystery or any of that crap.

I just read "The Lay of the Love and Death of Christoph Cornet Rilke" it was short and simple and pretty good.

Aphorisms. Just finished some by Wittgenstein, they were super interesting. Borges wrote short essays (and stories). Many people write essays. Nietzsche is also good for aphorisms & packing a lot of content into a small space. Chesterton, Montaigne (tha oG essay man)... who am I forgetting (of my own scarce knowledge). G.K. Lichtenberg a famous german aphorist... Kafka's blue octavo notebooks are interesting...
Chesterton also wrote a lot of things in essay form, and he really doesn't fuck around. Like he gets straight to the point.
Schopenhauer's many essays are good, too. Guy had a genius for metaphor.
