Currently I'm not interested in his fiction but Petrolio seems pretty dope.

Would like a list of Bible parodies. I've read two a while back and would like to perhaps read some more. One I really enjoyed included Murphy (Murphy's law) as the narrator.

Then at what point do we have an understanding? What if I read 7/10 of an authors works? How about 9/10 works? This thread is fucking stupid.

I just ironically bought a P&V translation of C&P. In regards to C&P should I have gone with Mrs. G, or did I make the right decision by choosing P&V? I would like some help on this ASAP.

Saladnigger is a decent meme for teens, but I don't think it sits well on the pantheon of classics-- time will change that, however.

It was funny. I remember laughing when I read the passage about the ducks being frozen in the pond.

A lot of his stuff is wordy because he *did* get paid per words, and I believe they were released as serials. However, I love his work. He is *very* sentimental both in his work and his life, to the point that he set up a home to help get prostitutes off the streets and teach them a trade to help them earn a living, financed AFAIK entirely out of his own pocket. David Copperfield is good. Oliver Twist, too. I guess I haven't read any Dickens I *don't* like, but I have to be in the right mood. I basically have the same feeling toward the majority of his work. Sale of Two Titties and a couple others are rather different from this majority to me, though.

>>9729493
His compassion often goes too far and becomes mawkishness, and many of his sentences contain superfluous clauses, which I sometimes find grating. That said, I do enjoy some of his books and if you're an empathetic person you likely will too. My top three are, in this order, Bleak House, David Copperfield, and The Pickwick Papers.

Any recommendation on books about hypnosis?
I've always been interested and I've been using videos where they hypnotize you to sleep and it actually works for me. Can someone suggest one book about techniques or explanations on hypnosis?

i've been recommended G.H. Estabrooks, "Hypnosis" and
A. Jacquin, "Reality is Plastic" by some fag but i never got around to reading them
hypnosis is a meme anyway, you never see someone get legit benefits and when they do results are never satisfying, even the psychologists that recommend it as treatment will say that much
>>
>>9729109
Don't fuck with hypnosis. I was blind, deaf and dumb to intrigue for years because of it. It took one of my closest friends breaking trust with me to break whatever took hold of me. Don't fuck around with it. It will take your own mind from you.

Hi guys. I'm looking for a short story I found here a while ago.
I think it was about four or five people that were captured by some kind of ice monster. They were all in great seemingly never-ending pain due to the work and general sufferings inflicted upon them by said ice monster.
In the end, the protagonist sacrifices himself for the others, ensuring himself a life of infinite suffering.

That's the exact story of I have no mouth and I must scream - except with an ice monster instead of a super computer?!

>>9729003
That sounds more like a slightly confused interpretation of 'I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream' than anything else I've heard of.
