so i noticed two different editions of gravity's rainbow.
which one should i get?
>>
>>
>>9067580
Just finished it last month having never read Franzen and honestly, I loved it. It's basically just a character study of a family of 5 from the Midwest, one kid who is a liberal arts fuck up, another a basic high strung banker / suburban alcoholic and their sister who's a chef in the big city. The mom and dad are old conservative midwesterners and it all centers around them getting together for the holidays. It goes through each character's back story to present day showing how they became the people you see today. The prose was great and there is a good bit of humor. I know it gets shit on online but I really liked it, definitely one of my favorite pieces of modern fiction
>>

The Viking edition is closest to the original, but I've always cherished my smaller gold Bantam mass-market edition. At one time, it was the most widely distributed copy, so it's what most have experienced Gravity's Rainbow with.

Mine's been just about everywhere with me. It's a bit ugly, but there's something great about small, heavy books.

Dutch bro, have you read The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen? If yes, what did you think of it?
>>
>>9084161
No, but a couple of my friends have. They say it's a hilarious book about an old man living in a retirement home with keen and absurdist observations about his life, To be fair, most of the reviews I've read pretty much state the same: a very humouristic account and at times absurdist account of a man living in a retirement home.

I think one of the main reasons for its succes is not just the impersonal style and the humour but also the fact that almost everyone has a relative living in a retirement home as well, thus recognising the hilarious but also sad situations. Furthermore, it's a niche, literature about old people.

I might read it after finishing Paul Auster's New York trilogy to see if it lives up to the hype though.
>>
>>9084233
I'm reading a Portuguese translation. Since I'm Brazilian I can't catch a lot of the Dutch references, but it's a very light and fun read nonetheless. I'm enjoying quite a bit.

You don't even have to wait to finish other books to start this, really. I for example am reading it alongside Brothers Karamazov as a comic relief for when I'm not in the mood for Dosto's work.

Weep in horror.

For real, though, I haven't unpacked most of my books after the move. I can't even find the box I put them in. These are just the bits and pieces that for one reason or another never got put away.

As a middle school teacher, is this your bookshelf? or have you not updated your tastes since then?

The Redwall books slightly redeem you, though.

Almost makes me look past 'Ready Player One' you got there. That goes first.

Hey, same here! I must have read like 10-15 till now. Recently, I got diagnosed with ADHD; I have severe problems with attention, impulsivity, and langauge processing(probably mildly dyslexic), and I can't sit for more than 10 or 20 mins. I am Ritalin and things are getting better! Do you take your meds?

I crack the spines of my books all the time. I do not notice it as it is happening and I just can't help it. If I really enjoy a book, I want to break her to get her deeper inside her.

People seriously shit on Franzen too hard. It's pretty obvious he writes about the white midwest and that's his choice (I won't bother with the reasons), and people bring it up as a complaint.

Very easy to identify with if you're from a similar background, very poignant as well.

It IS comfy af. Probably 3/4 of those books are old and no longer interest me, but they were picked up while stationed elsewhere and nostalgic inertia keeps them on the shelves. Pic related is my actual reading bookshelf.
