Reading in the Lower Countries

For questions 2,3 you're going to get a better response posting in /trv/. Have you tried the dutch waffle cookies? They are fucking amazing.

How tall are you? We do not take kindly to manlets around here.

6'3" and white. I fit in fine.

Oh boy.....

Explain all the Moroccans then

> 1. What are some good Dutch writers I need to read? I only have Mulisch so far.

J. Bernlef for fiction, Huizinga for (cultural) history

> 3. Where are the good bookstores (here or in neighboring countries) that I need to visit (preferably used books and hopefully with a good English selection)? I've been to pic related and a few other local shops.

You have Waterstones and the American Book Center for English books (Amsterdam), Donner for English and Dutch lit (Rotterdam, that I know of).

> (preferably used books and hopefully with a good English selection)

'De Slegte'. Used books in good condition at reasonable prices. You've got one in Rotterdam and one in Leiden that I know of.

I lived there for a year and did far better with women than I do here in America despite being a manlet. Women in much of Europe don't seem to care as much about height as women in America do.

Don't limit yourself to just Dutch writing, "De Engelenmaker" is by a Belgian writer but a really fucking good read. Also, Mulisch is really hit or miss.

As a manlet born in the Netherlands, this is bullshit.

>>10000449
I recommend Nescio and Willem F. Hermans

Also, I forgot to mention the used book market on Fridays in Amsterdam (deboekenmarktophetspui . NL)

Mannen in Nederland zijn tering lang dus de meeste vrouwen voelen zich toch al klein. Toch ben je al snel 'die gast' als je korter bent dan 180. Wat is het met korte mannen en kaarttrucjes?

Thanks for the help.

I had forgotten about Nescio. I have Amsterdam Stories but haven't read it yet.

they will be removed, though.

The "Big Three" are Reve, Hermans and Mulisch. Of these, Reve is superior. Read him.

Robert van Gulik and Janwillen van de Wetering are both worth reading
