I've put off reading this semester to focus more on studies, of course the result is that i just read less in total, not more of the syllabus

Anyways, when i finish my last exam i'll read Manufacturing Consent, not sure what i'll read after that, though
>>
I listen to audio books.
>>
With all this nonsense that you go through. You should read The Silent Cry by Kenzaburo Oe.
After that you can go an hero.

I am just getting into reading, mostly japanese novels. Something I need to say right now is that "the key" by tanizaki is the greatest representation that I have experienced of a cuck's life, absolutely astounding work, but made me feel like a pile of shit.
I was thinking of reading >>37410226

I just read the wind-up bird chronicle and it was good, recommend some good western book robot
>>
>>37410523

Only western i've read is Blood Meridian. There's a lot of hate toward it but i thought it was a good read.

currently reading meditations of marcus aurelius and the turner diaries

Bumping a good thread for all my good boys.
>>
Maybe we should review books we have read, and answer questions about them, because otherwise the thread will die too quickly.
I will start
Three Days of Happiness - Nothing too deep, but a nice story about a fool who is like a robot, that little by little begins to understand himself and others. I think that the concept that the author was trying to deliver through the story really hits home and the story manages to have a little bit of romance as well. Sorry for the shit english and the lack of in-depht description

>>37409598
I read, I don't know how many books I read because I don't count that shit, and I'm currently reading 'Faith and Fire' by Dan Swallow.
>>
>>37409598
No, but I should start again to get smarter. I think I'll pick up Lolita....

Im reading V by Pynchon and it's gr8. Gonna read Revolt Against the Modern World next, im very interested in Evola and the whole spiritual fascist movement
>>
I used to be able to read. The last book I finished was the Age of Reason by Jean Paul Sartre, that was last summer. This entire year I've been having major problems focusing. I can read an entire page of a book, and as soon as I flip the page I'll completely forget what I just read. It has made studying impossible, so I dropped out.

I've probably read a little more than a hundred actual books. Favorite was probably The Picture of Dorian Gray.
>>
>>37413613
I actually couldn't stand The Picture of Dorian Gray. I get the whole underlying theme behind it, but it was an insanely drab read for me.
>>
>Do you read?
what did you just say to me?
i seriously don't understand?
>>
>>37413524
I feel like Pynchon should be required reading, but all the normies I've recommended him to couldn't into it.

What didn't you like about it? He's one of the most engaging authors, I can't put his books down once I start

Recently finished kafka on the shore.
>>
Yes
Read 15 books this year. My goal was 52 so I'm not doing too well
Currently The Buried Giant by Ishiguro and some shitty isekai LN. Will probably pick up Les Mis and some shorter Russian works after I finish it. I also want to read 1Q84 but I'm not sure if I'm ready for such a long meme.

I have too many books I want to read and not enough time to read them, to be honest.
>>
>>37413670
I felt the same way. I liked the idea behind the book, but as I already knew about that before reading it the actual reading experience was poor.
>>
>>37409598
Reading Oscar Wildes fairy tails and the book of Samuel. Pretty good both worth the hype.
