You are what you pretend to be

Haven't read the novels you're mentionning, but from your description of them, I'd advise reading the following : The Vatican Cellars, by André Gide.

is the postman actually a good book?

>>8270258
that greentext story about the movie Drive

>>8271368
Nah

I don't identify with this need:

"I saw/read/listened to this. I want more of the same."

It's kind of like a right wing artistry: trying to surround yourself with as much homogenized work as possible.

I suppose it gives a nice feeling? Like you're protected from work you don't like as much? Like you've built a barrier to keep others out. All in the vain attempt to be comfy, feel safe and be secure.

This is aberrant behavior. Seems paranoid, based in emotional fear.

>my favorite novels, Mother Night and The Postman
>Mother Night

That books was awful anon. You need to go back

>>8272000
I don't think it's a matter of right vs left but I agree that it's a sterile sort of literary dead-end.

>>8272022
That's why it's called an analogy.

*pats head*

>>8271368
It kinda stumbles a bit in the second half, but beyond that, yeah

>>8272000
what? So if you read a book by a new author and you like it, you wouldn't read another book by that author ever?

>>8272042
>If you've read one book by an author, you basically get the gist of all of the rest of their books.

ok.

>>8272067
I'm literally arguing the opposite of that. The guy I quoted is the one saying that The Postman and Mother Night are the same book and wanting to read more books featuring a theme they share is based on fear

>>8272143
I guess you failed.

Take it like a man.

>>8272025
Why are you patting your head?

>>8272156
To tempt anons in attempting "cute" responses that will fall miserably short.

>>8272156
First he pats his head, then he rubs his belly, when he finally gets good enough at doing each separately he'll try doing both at the same time

>>8272163
I wish I had a qt /lit/ bf

>>8272163
I wish you were my friend

>>8272187
If wishes and buts were clusters of nuts, we'd all have a bowl of granola.

>>8272163
Eh, I thought it was an attempt at being condescending

>>8272197
Never!

>>8272007
No it wasn't. It was incredibly moving. How can you reach that ending and not feel what he's feeling in a powerful way without weapons-grade autism?

>>8272518
>everyone should have the same response

Fan of Data from Star trek?

>>8272522
Different responses are one thing, but flat-out saying Mother Night was awful is wrong

>>8272526
Let us know the scale, so we can comply.
