Is it a bad sign if I can relate to Yozo from no longer human? I can't read too much of that book in one sitting, it's too real.

Yes because you didn't get it.
He was the product of a countrys opressive mindset where the individual mattered less than the collective.
You're just a dude with bad social skills.

Why is Clancy widely hated here?

Because he just writes the saddest fucking books in existence.
You know when you hate yourself, and you hate your job, so you spend hours fantasizing about impressing that girl you see every day but have never talked to, and you fantasize about telling your boss to go fuck himself in front of everybody and mike dropping the fuck out and buying a motorcycle?
That's what reading a Clancy book is.

>>9781499
Didn't he actually serve in the military? That analogy doesn't make sense since his books tangentially reflect his life
>>
>>9781591
that's not why people read them
Sissy/shemale/trap porn makes me feel so sexy in such a good way. I have never experienced this with heterosexual fantasies, they merely make me feel warm and good in general.
With sissy stuff it's like a whole new feel taking over my body. It's squishy, gooey, sexy, naughty in such a good way.
I want to understand this feel better in order to harness its power. Do you have any bookie reccs for me please?

Ok I've done it, here's a non-meme Start With the Sumerians chart. The other charts are focused on primary sources, which is what I've done here. Hopefully some people will get a taste of the earliest literature in history, I've certainly enjoyed doing so.

I'm not sure but I do prefer novellas to fifteen books long novel series. They're really nice when you're busy but still want to read something. Novellas and standalone novels is pretty much all I read these days with a few exceptions that are series but not of bloated length.

I've bought this book twice. He is a good writer but I always lose interest about 1.5 stories in (different stories each time). I have no idea why.

Overwritten but I still enjoyed it. The casual racism and anti-semitism pretty much insured it would never be taught in English lit classes, so that's probably why he isn't as well known as his contemporaries. And he isn't as good as Faulkner is another reason.

Did 9/11 render the ending of Underworld irrelevant?
DeLillo paints a picture of an ultra-capitalist, solemnly faithful, Internet dependant American future as the world's only superpower. It has nothing to rail against anymore now that the Soviet Union has fallen and they now literally take out America's trash (the nuke site in Kazhakstan). The outlook at the end of the novel is that America has no set course anymore and the future will be unpredictable because of it.
But with 9/11 occurring less than 4 years after Underworld was released, America has a new existential threat in Islamic terrorism and the future DeLillo hints at is radically changed.
It's almost spooky that the towers destroyed in the attacks are the ones that adorn the cover of the book and are mentioned several times throughout the book, mostly when they are being built.

1. his portrait of America is still accurate. 9/11 is how the powers that be are dealing with the "end of history" without changing the status quo. fearmongering, convincing you there's something real in the way of positive change.
2. don delillo planned 9/11
