I mostly listen to audiobooks, but yeah

Brave new world is an awesome read anon, congrats on the pick.

I suggest:

-Cormac McCarthy (The Road, Blood Meridian)
-Jose Saramago (Blindness)
-Haruki Murakami (Wind-Up Bird chronicle, 1Q84, Kafka on the shore)

Action adventure/fantasy novels and YA are so fun to read, it's like capeshit or chinese cartoons except in your mind.
Idk why we don't have a board for fun literature

That book did my head in. It was like a giant Kafka story that just wouldn't end. I got 100 pages in and called it quits.

Brave New World is garbage.

Also this reminded me that I'll have to re-read the HekateStation comics because they are interesting. A shame it means I'll have to solve all the puzzles again, unless someone has them stored somewhere?

Unironically got this on my kindle. He's a shit writer but it was a fascinating read.
>>
>>38692658
why are you even here? you've probably not read it. Brave New World is a must read for any robot.
>>
I read it and liked it. A couple of my favorite books are

>Musashi by Eji Yoshikawa
It's not deep or symbolic or anything. Just a fun read about a samurai. Pretty long though.

>Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky
It was actually my first big boy book. I read it in high school for extra credit. There's just something about his writing that I liked.

Crime and Punishment is the probably the only one that actually triggered like a small existential crisis in me so I guess it.
BNW was also pretty neat although somewhat predictable, still better than 1984.

Also unironically Looking for Alaska and the first Harry Potter(haven't read the others) although I wish I read them when I was 13-14 not like 19.

yeah, the white is from the first few pulls
The brown is from pulls 4+, kinda gooey and lots of other alkaloids in there but still works well enough
>>
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is a good classic for robots. One of my favourite books too.

That roastie gets what she deserves. McMurphy was truly a hero.
>>
>>38692704
I'm reading understanding power by him. It's ok. Also have manufacturing consent that I'll get around to at some point.

>>38692925
did you use acacia confusa? or the old mimosa hostilis?
or something else
>>
>>38692623
Have you read Meme Magic? Not even ironic here, it has pretty interesting concepts.

Have you ever considered cutting yourself and rubbing a bunch of that crystal into the wound? I would like to try that.

Anyway it looks like you're all set for some zany adventures.

Reading H. P. Lovecraft, and LotR since i never read them

>>38693082
Probably. You'd have to mix those crystals with an acid to make them into soluble form though. I feel also it would be way too short and intense. Like smoking x10.

This book made me genuinely despise war for a bit. Its well written and pretty funny for a book from the 50's

Brave New World is trash read it in high school.
>muhhh Ford
>muhhh savage
>muhhh drugs
It was good at some points but the parts where it's bad really show how dumb the author is. No gays even though everyone belongs to everyone.
