I saw that same Columbine book in my travels the other day. Is there really anything about Columbine worth reading into, or is the accepted TL;DR "Autism"?

>>9630510

dunno but Elephant is worth watching

also dylan and eric were literal fags

>>9630510
it depends wether or not you are interested. it shows you their journals. they went to prom 3 days before the shooting. they got arrested and caught with bombs a few times. it's the best book on Columbine I've heard. I'm just interested in it because the year it happened was my grade 9 year in highshool and our school seemed exactly like Columbine. jocks making fun of the gothic loser kids. nobody died though.

>>9630522

every school was like that, columbine was a catalyst for our generation of boys to be emasculated by our elders out of fear

My old copy of Moby Dick was returned in less than readable condition by the last person who I lent it too, so they bought me a new copy. The rest was stuff I either wanted to read(Cortazar, John Banville, Hunter S. Thomspon) and stuff that has been borrowed permanently(Camus).

This is why I'm always so afraid of lending books. It's not so much the book itself that's the issue, since none of my editions are really fancy, but rather my margin notes and favorite passages.

Anyway, local used bookstore had a new bunch of loebs this week and I'm friendly with the guy who works there; got a pretty good deal.

I've been meaning to go to BMV for a while. This has helped motivate me.

I started with clash of civilizations

Picked up recently:
The Woman in the Dunes-Kobo Abe
Hard to Be a God-Boris and Arkady Strutgatsky
The Melancholy of Resistance-Laslo Krasznahorkai

Looking forward to reading them all but which should I start with and is Hard To be a God a good entry into Strutgatsky's Noon universe?

>>9631893
> is Hard To be a God a good entry into Strutgatsky's Noon universe?

It's fine, though i can't stand the "notes at the end of the chapter" thing, i'd rather have them below the page

That translation of Red and the Black has been surpassed recently (by a significant margin)

Mostly 19th century short stories like Blackwood, Polidori, Malpossont, and strangely enough, Kafka's Penal Colony

Arreola 10/10

>>9634399
nooooooooooo :( my $1 fuujujjccccckkkkk

>>9634421
Im not criticizing your purchase you fucking sperg, im just suggesting the Burton Raffel translation, as the one you purchased has lots of lacy neo-victorian prose.

>>9634429
lol I'm just being a fag. I actually kind of like that though. if it was written back in the 1880s I'm cool with that.

>>9631365
