>tfw dad doesn't read but just sits and watches Hitler/WW2/history channel shit all day

>>9132664
Is your dad Tony Soprano?

War of the Worlds is his favorite book, but he can't decide on a favorite author. It's between the classic sci-fi guys like Asimov, Wells, Bradbury, etc.

>>9132669
Sadly, no.

>>9132664
Same. Pretty comfy desu. He also hates jews but we're hispanic so it's not racist

I am proud of my father

>tfw watching documentaries with dad in silence is the comfiest feel
I miss it. He's not... the easiest dude, but I really use to enjoy that. Especially when we started watching astronomy stuff. Every thursday, we'd all just silently show up in the living room and watch it together.

>dad's favorite author Is louis l'amour
>I buy him a copy if blood meridian
>he read like 2 pages and gave up

>>9132643
Elizabeth Clare Prophet

>>9132679
He also loves watching Holocaust survivor documentaries. He's utterly fascinated by Hitler but is disgusted with the Nazis.
It's a whole 'White Noise' situation, I reckon.

>tfw my dad talks through everything

Bit tiring. He doesn't expect an answer though, which is nice.

>>tfw my dad talks through everything
my best friend's dad does this. A constant stream of noise. "What? No way! Is that possible? That's amazing. Can you believe it?" Even if you BEG him to stop he won't.

I have no idea why, as he's reasonably well-read.
Even if he doesn't read that much literature anymore, I would expect him to like better authors. He didn't even like Céline.

>>9132643
Some guy named Vonné Geht.

>>9132770
Why do old guys like Bukowski so much.

>>9132679
Just like when blacks assault gay people.

tfw I only ever see my dad reading Nelson DeMille

>>9132643
As an adult my dad read non-fiction almost exclusively, but shared his childhood love of the old pulps (Burroughs, Smith, Howard) with all of us kids

For a bit I was going to follow his shame and go into business. Then I discovered cocaine, had a lot of gay and straight sex, pushed my banking account into the gutter.

Working night shifts at a bondage shop and teaching yuppies how to evaluate the quality of a flogger. Just trying to make enough money to go to a new city and leave behind past baggage.

Either this dude or Hunter S. Thompson

>>9133077
Just out of curiosity, who's your favorite author?

>>9133773
Burroughs. Idealized the punk movement as a kid so I stared reading him because I knew he was sleeping with a guitarist in Television or something. He's one of those authors I read when I didn't have the skills or experience to grasp him so he remains a benchmark of my intelligence/comprehension.

>>9132664
>tfw my dad watches anything that his one favourite channel plays because all the other channels are "lefty bullshit"

He doesn't even care if its a bridal program, if that channel plays it, it's worth watching.

I love my father.

Also OP, have you read much of Tom Clancy? I read Rainbow Six years ago and liked it, but from others I've spoken to that have read more Tom Clancy they said his other books aren't that great. Not bad by any means but sort of a downhill thing. Is that true?
