>delete it because i don't think we'd be able to talk about her literature tastes when her favourite books were the ASOIAF series, Enders Game and The Discworld books :/

anyways, can we get a Ferdydurke general?
im really enjoying it so far though i feel most of it is going over my head, this is my first Polish novel and is modernist to the point of absurdism.

i recommend it though i feel it may need a re-read to 'get' everything that's going on.

You could have been a bit more gentle, how is ferdyduke? Also, I think she didn't want to talk but rather get the d. Then you could have manipulated her into reading something that isn't utter shit. What's ferdyduke even about?

there are few themes basically
-grown up man who is going back to elementary school - afraid of being adult
-school as a institution whose mission is simplify everything everything, especially peoples there - what could be read as critique of totalitarism and how it controls society given times when it was wrote
-students themselves are in two groups fighting each overs what i see as camouflated "burgouis vs workers" battle. Also there is theme how blind going after ideologies is stupid (also theme of "raping with ideology")
-finally author's rant about how "forms" are blindly followed (digressions to art itself - critique of following forms and established styles of literature, instead of going after substance; and forms in society, how individual is influenced by skin he is wearing at time)
In one word its deeply symbolic and anarchistic

Do people honestly do this? I read on the train every day (that's twice a day for two years), and never has anyone spoken to me about it. (Maybe I'm just ugly desu, more on than in my diary though)

Anyway, I dislike Sci-Fi/Fantasyfags as well but you didn't have to be so mean about it.

It's funny how people consider speculative fiction to be escapist when really the perfected simulation of reality in supposedly legitimate literature is far more escapist. Like imagine if you actually turned into a giant beatle over night. What would follow would not be a contemplation of humanity and nobility in the face of horrific disruption but rather you'd probably be sick everywhere and then your loving sister would round up a posse to bludgeon you to death. And Lane probably would have left while Franny was in the bathroom.

Also I wonder what the ratio of (OP)'s to (you)'s is on average?

Well that depends. Do I turn into John, George, Paul, or Ringo? Is my instrument giant, too? If I turn into a giant John Lennon, is Yoko giant as well, or is it like a King Kong and Faye Wray scenario?

The idea is that people who read and are entertained by mere fiction are not as detached from reality as those who read fantasy. Literature takes place in a world most everyone recognizes and thinks about. Fantasy has more "pure imagination." I don't think it's true that fantasy readers are detached from reality, but I've heard the sentiment before.

Frankenstein's monster one morning awoke from the strangest dream and found himself transformed into an enormous John Lennon.

"I warned you not to eat on an empty stomach" said Ringo.
