The Tunnel, of course.

>>7788148
I think you mean semianually.

>>7788151
gtfo gassposters. The tunnel is a pile of shit.

>>7788431
is it? why? not the same anon. i've been leery about Gass. I checked the first page via Amazon, and i read "Tampax". I'm not so sure after that.

>>7788434
It's nonsensical drivel, you'd be better off reading something actually worth your time.

>>7788157
No, I wait twice a year to read it.

the little prince

Grapes of Wrath

Infinite Jest

>>7788434
I bought it last week. It's shit, a device of cultural terrorism that assumes the maturity, in style and spirit, of a edgy college sophomore.

>>7788444
like mcelroy? or hawkes?

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

>>7788431
>>7788444
None of that is true, you sillybilly. Please read/understand a novel before you post about it.
>>7788434
It's beautifully written and filled with enough content to keep you scratching your head forever. If anyone ever says it is meaningless or nonsensical, immediately disregard their opinion, as almost every word in The Tunnel was deliberately placed where it was for a specific reason. Here is a section that Michael Silverblatt posted in his review:
"Ponderous aunts and uncles, uncles lean as withered beans, aunts pale as piecrust, grandmapas with rheum and gout, cousins shrill as sirens, sounding themselves through the house like warnings of death from the air (later in London, I heard them often), cousins who scratched you under the table, all agloat cousins who told on other cousins, cousins who scooped up fistfuls of mashed potato and let it slime over their wrists; aunts who wore hats in the house, aunts who starched and ironed linens, aunts who stirred pots, flagellated rugs, opened doors for dogs, swatted flies, and reminisced fondly of death and diseases as if they were high school dances, former flames; uncles and great-uncles who, like the hoppers, spat long brown jets of chewing tobacco across the railings while they rocked; nieces and nephews, a few of those too, who peed in their pants, threw up, bawled, and beat you on the shins and ankles with alphabet blocks; relatives at every conceivable remove, but not removed, each noisily present. . . ."

looks shit

>>7788500
>cousins
Pynchon?

>>7788500
thanks anon, though, i must say, that looks absolutely horrible. I would never read anything like that. Ever. It looks like an immense waste of time, really.

>>7788493
No, because, just like Gass, they're great.
>>7788489
That's the point, dummie. You are supposed to hate Kohler. Also, how about you finish it before you talk shit about it.
>>7788505
>>7788527
You guys are boring human beings.

The Stranger

Blood Meridian

Did you say love?

Alive and kicking. Still rambling about good old canadian boys with heart on a weekly basis. He looks great for his age too. The death of Don Cherry will be sadder than the death of Wayne Gretzky in the hockey world.

Either The Sound and the Fury or Lolita.

Redwall was the first book that I read that wasn't one of those beginners books like Magic Tree House and it will always be special to me.
