I'm reading pic related. It's really interesting, but when I read it I can't help but feel like we're living in a lovecraftian hellscape.

I'm reading the Count of Monte Cristo atm.
Ultimate adventure-core. Edmond is a baller.

A "classic" of Chinese "literature". Reads like DBZ fan fiction. Everyone has unbounded superpowers which suddenly become bounded when the author writes himself into a corner, and if even that can't save him he pulls a deus (or a dozen) out of the fucking machina.

Every chapter is more or less the same thing. First they meet a river monster, then they meet a mountain monster, then they meet a river monster, then they meet a mountain monster. Monkey says, "Be careful, there is a monster!". Sanzang says, "You stupid monkey, there is no monster!". Sanzang gets captures by the monster, and then monkey rescues him. There is no progression or development of plot, theme, or characters.

The only redeeming feature is that the satire of Chinese bureaucracy is sometimes amusing. Just nowhere on the level of actual, competent satire.

Are you reading it like it's some sort of contemporary fantasy novel? Stop being such a pleb.

I'm reading this one. I personally prefer Jung over Freud when it comes to psychology.

Is That meditations book a good'un, anon?

Me, I'm trying to read more Nick Hornby books. he's quite plebian but I enjoy it nonetheless.

I'm reading infinite jest as my monthly book

>>35314909
I'm also reading meditations, and I just finished myth of sisyphus and Steppenwolf (Hesse).

I really liked Steppenwolf a lot. I really feel like I connected with the magic theater scene. Especially "All the Girls are yours" and the very end when he killed Hermine.

Mediations has been a slog DESU, I really enjoy it a lot but I'm not that strong of a reader so it takes a while for me to read each book, and I usually have to reread about half the chapters to tally get it.

I'm probably going to read Journey to the East(Hesse), Dracula (Stoker), or Thinking fast and slow (nonfiction about metacognition) next

Never claimed that. Criticizing it for using "deus ex machinas" is totally missing the point. Also it's kind of silly to say that the books has no characters when it features one of the greatest in all of world literature. He's up there with Don Quixote, Hamlet, and Odysseus.

Is that based on that fucking horrible anime?

Should I read meditations,
I like ayn rand and shit, also a fan of stoics.
I feel like it has the potential to be the gayest thing

I love Meditations. Aurelius just kept it simple and true.

Just got this issue of my magazine in the mail. 10/10 would recommend to people that want to read good stories but don't want to read giant books that drag on forever. Plus there are reviews of books and movies in here if you want to read other stuff. I haven't read a BOOK book in a while

It takes me like 2 years to read a book.
I only ever read them in doctors waiting rooms and on trains or shit like that.
Started this book about a year ago, maybe more, and still only about 50 pages in.

My Dostoyevsky nigga. Just finished The Idiot and going to start Notes from Underground. Read Crime and Punishment and Brothers Karamazov years ago and liked them too.

I really like Dostoyevsky, sometimes he captures ideas and thoughts I've had about the world and life so well, it's hard to believe he's from such a different era.
