Kadare under-appreciated everywhere.
Good posts, both.

Working a theme, are we? How do you feel about D.H. Lawrence? I personally dislike him, but I'd like to see a defense and you seem like you might be sympathetic.

You're too old for genre fiction. Kerouac is good though. And you could do worse than Dick

props for reading Turgenev already

good taste though

Hardy bores me to tears and the only other person I've encountered who felt otherwise was a girl home schooled until the age of 16

I bet you're fucking great to have at parties. They're all great though, so I can't say too much shit

You didn't have to tell me you "just" turned 18

Does this board allow underage posting? I guess it doesn't matter. If you actually understand either of those works/authors then congrats, you're the most intelligent 15 year old in what I presume to be the American public school system

>Seriously though, this is why you all suck at socializing and resort to posting on an image board (yes I see the irony). You gotta contribute in a way that encourages others to contribute. It's the same with talking to women. We're all a bunch of petty bitches on this board and need (you)'s

>>9947421
Gotta tell you the truth, I haven't read him. I'll look out for Fathers and Sons though. From what I've read of him, I have to agree with you, he seems like someone I'd be sympathetic towards. What is it you dislike about him?

>>9947851
>Fathers and Sons
Wrong book, although also looking out for a copy

>Sons and Lovers
Too many familial relationships. Also if that was a Freudian slip, I think I'm in trouble

Excessively Freudian understanding of desire. The D.H. Lawrence/Sherwood Anderson understanding that libidinal energy drives human action is facile. Melville almost preemptively refutes it in Pierre.

Lawrence's likely counter that I'm just repressed and repulsed by sexuality might be accurate though...

This is a joke, right? Fell for it.

>>9947978
Check out A Fiery Peace in a Cold War for a book about a weapon more important than the atomic bomb.

Also, grow out of Vonnegut and stop saying "unironic." English has plenty of words that mean precisely that and it's not like Joyce saying "untonsured"

Dispatches by Herr, but I am currently reading The Savage Detectives, so that might overtake it.

Nothing. They should read anything else though
