I ain't showing my nipples to you thirsty homosexuals.
so why are you talking about them
WHY?! WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO WITH THESE JEZEBELS? My one single wish is to be left to my own asexual devices, free from the thorned grip of perverse tempation, unclouded or swayed in my noble search for intellectual playthings of the mind, yet by your hand I am endlessly titillated by these vixens with their prodigious hips and provocative figures. Can I never satiate this thirst, will I ever know the touch of a woman and enter between her loins? Will these hands ever feel a woman's swaying weight in their open palms? Will I ever know a plump, ruby pair of lips perched betwixt my shoulder and my ear, whispering "I want you, I want you now" in that chocolatey croon I know so well from dreamtime? Will my seed ever drip from her moistened hole, indicating the completed unity of our unhinged sexual impulses?
Life is a constant hell. Day in and out the tired red eyes glaze in some attempt to shield me from these images. I am floating in the blistering heat of my id's vacuum, castrated and blinded by my wretched libido. No wonder I resent women so.
Pasta? Or schizo?

Is the book "PAGEBOY" going fit in that box ?
I have 20gb of unread books in pdf.

There is more and more once you're past the obvious choices.
You the anon I briefly talked to about Holderlin, Novalis and Stifter?
You the anon I briefly talked to about Fathers and Crows?
No, it wasn't me. I just read a couple of rave reviews of it, and some praise for it here so I bought it.
Are you a fan?
I had a false start but that’s on me, nothing against the book. I read like 150 pages but a couple other books drew my attention more. I had read a few JF Cooper books beforehand so I was Native American’d out. It was my first Vollman so it took me a little while to get used to the style. The time stream or whatever was really unique. Like I said, I liked what I read so far and I plan to read it in the next couple months
There’s not too many anons that seem into German literature that aren’t the huge names. I just like recognizing anons from their interest in certain books. It gives me some hope for the board
I’m the anon with Herodotus and Rabelais
Whenever I make threads about the books I recently read I get 0 replies. Sometimes I'm just so far off the usual path that it gets lonely here.
I feel ya. Honestly I have the best luck actually talking to anons about books in stack and shelf threads. Individual threads devolve quickly to shitflinging or die with no replies. The demoralization campaign won.
>You the anon I briefly talked to about Holderlin, Novalis and Stifter?
Probably. Novalis is on my to buy list and Stifter I recently finished 700 pages of his Studies which was very cozy. There's more of that period I want to read but after my current stack I'm going to grind away some of the more well known classics of European literature which I haven't read so far.
Stack for after I'm done with my obscure shit
master and margerita not the new annotated german translation by alexander nitzberg -----> fail
I paid only one buck for my copy. I don't care that much about that book yet to get a more recent edition.
My new books and books of interest
How much $$ did this book haul cost ?
Idk. I usually buy a book or two a week, no more. A lot of them are rereads, or shorter reads. I keep a section in my library where I pile up books of interest
I saw a Bookforum hit piece on conversations with Goethe; just makes me want to read it to be honest.
It’s a great book. Goethe comes across as the literary giant he is, and untouchable, yet still pretty likeable and human. Many good quotes and words of wisdom throughout
I generally don’t care about the wat books look and I own some atrocious hardbacks that I’m totally fine with, but for some reason I’m still pissed about the Penguin Classics redesign.
They they suck. I’ve never cracked an old Penguin’s spine, first redesign I read, BOOM, crease down the middle. Not to mention they look terrible aesthetically

How to aquire vintage McCarthy?
Vintage is the publishing company
Recently bought/picked up for free at the library
Had The Deer in the queue for a while, you'll have to tell us how it is.
Very nice. I have only read an abridged (700page) version of Rising up and rising down by Vollmann, but it made me want to read more. Sadly he's overlooked here in Scandinavia
I started with those bottom four when I was a new reader.
yes, I know, kms
Know what?
Looks like a good stack
thanks
Just finished BM and damn was that way better than The Road
Got an early 1900s print of The Faerie Queen too.

My HS AP reading list?

nice. read outer dark next.
which bible? that NRSV is just ok. the text is kind of small and footnotes are very short, usually alternate translations and vague manuscript diffs. it has the apocrypha though and is best translation for closest meaning rather than potentially-misleading poetic turns of phrase like kjv.
Suuure that one. Kek

I have fond memories of reading Adams when I was 12 or 13. He’s good fun if you don’t take his blatant atheism personally. It might be pleasant to revisit some of his books, I always liked dipping into the Salmon of Doubt collection over the years, like Eco’s How to Travel with a Salmon.
FYI I don’t know if you were planning it at all but the movie adaptation that came out in the 2000’s with Freeman and Deschanel isn’t very good, but I think it’s charming in a b-movie schlocky kind of way.
I'm reading it now and enjoying it so far
This is what I got lined up for the next couple months. Currently just finishing Tom Robbin's Another Roadside Attraction.
Vintages are such nice books, they have a slightly grainy texture on the cover which feels great to the touch
This. I also feel like the books are able to get really worn and flexible without tearing at the folds on the covers

E-Reader users just don't understand.
Have you read the Exorcist or any other
works by, Blatty ?
Hells yeah, I read The Exorcist for the second time this year. Absolute classic, Damien Karras is one of my favorite characters. Haven't gotten to Legion yet, but I don't know if I am ready for the Kinderman storyline.
Where would you put the Ninth Configuration
in a reading order of Blatty's Exorcist works ?
Haven't read it yet. But I'm gonna take a guess that it's behind the Exorcist, but probably better than Legion
Oh shit, I thought you meant in terms of awesomeness. It's disconnected from The Exorcist books, it's an original story as far as I am aware.
I love the page feel too. The perfect width and roughness. They also smell good.
I just got Cormac's first 3 books in a matching vintage set and I'm so glad I did, they really do feel great
Did you by chance pick them up used? Trying to find his books for a reasonable price is such a pain right now. Blood meridian and suttree were going for ~$20 for a used paperback on most sites
Not the case with Murakami
didnt notice till now. it is quite luxurious
To Kill a Mockingbird and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are two of my favourites. I also have that same copy of The Satanic Verses that I have deep on my read list.
Kevin Fiege?
Pretty good selection.

I don't want to puke. It's 8:23 AM.
I wanna apologize for my fellow middle European friend here who seems to be an underage moron.
The Italian publishing house Adelphi, which has a worldwide reputation for being possibly the best publishing company ever (every book is genuinely worth reading, they've never released something bad) has a catalogue of around 3000 books. How come in these "stack threads" you always see the same 10-12 names and nothing else? Is this what's called "anglo culture"? Just narrow-mindedness, lack of personality, subjection to manipulability? Be proud of it, you empty hacks.
I'm gonna stop recommending Landolfi from now on just to spite you and your country for not actually clicking my pictures.
What's your picture? The first seven I opened all had corman mcdonalds-kind of trash, I ain't paying attention anymore. This is ridiculous.
Keller and Heym are McDonald's trash? You seem to not know the names and assume it's not worthwhile while you read a name you already know and assume it's trash. That's some very unproductive thinking right there.
Well, that was actually the only pic that I thought about not quoting given that it's German and doesn't contain memes.
And yet you still did quote it. No more me mentioning Cancroregina and The Moon Stone as novels I truly enjoyed. Maybe I'll even exclude Buzzati from my list of favorites as well now. You did this to yourself.
Thanks for making me chuckle, Gottfried.
But seriously, man. Be less angry. You will not convince anyone to take a recommendation from you if you just rant and insult people. Tell them about cool books and maybe someone will pick them up eventually. But you also gotta accept we have lots of beginning readers here who are just starting out reading some of the classics. I do wish we'd see more variety in the stacks but it is what it is.
First of all, I don't feel the need to convince people to read something I like. If I'm in the mood for helping someone, I do, but usually I'm not in that mood. Some knowledge better remain for few. Second, anger is the effect of seeing the same stuff posted over and over again every day, as if world's literature was just that, a fenced area with 10 marble sheeps. I can contemplate these sheeps for a couple of hours at most, then I get bored.
This ESL moron's prostitute mom takes Black personwiener. He has to cope by posting trannies and homos
>loves the writer who loved trannies
>hatespeaks about trannies to defend that writer
Yet you were the one spamming homosexuals and trannies on this board, ESL troony. Want me to post your moronic threads? have a nice day.
Holy fricking kek, post those screencaps please, I can't wait to have a huge laugh after seeing how much moronic you are
Shouldn't you be at school anon?
Post stack or we assume you're AI.
Anon, newbies have to start somewhere. These threads attract reading noobs who are overly enthusiastic of the idea of reading and just want to connect with others who are reading similar things. Post your stack if you're so sophisticated and have obscure taste.
as if its supposed to be impressive posting 10+ books you havent even read yet. Its like congratulating some obese b***h for being on day 1 of her weight loss plan
Then why don't you ever talk with me about the Insel Felsenburg?
Dude nobody wants you to congratulate them just post your fricking stack so we can have some new recs
>he's unable to find out what to read next without the help of anonymous trannies
No. Frick you and frick your shitty spoonfeeding threads
I love when a stack thread gets derailed
It's a butthurt ESL troony. Posting McCarthy in the OP dilated his wound really bad.
>see anons accused of reading the same basic b***h books
>scroll through the catalog
>no unique or new books with threads made about them
>same shit threads, many not literature related
Ignore the trolls. If they have such exciting taste they certainly aren’t bringing it to the table. It takes a certain type of person to derail a thread as innocuous as a stack thread. It’s strange and I can’t imagine the reason behind it
No, you fricking moronic prostitute, people can't even bring shit to the table because the anglo clownworld doesn't have translations 90% of the time. This applies to any language. Anglo publishing industry is just shit.
Moreover, personally I can't even post new threads because my entire IP-range is blocked for some reason. I can only reply.

Reading big goodbye right now. About the making of Chinatown. It's one of my favorite movies and the stories behind its creation are great. Wasson goes over the process of the writing, the history of the new Hollywood and the film, etc.
Thanks for the Chinatown book. Getting it from the library now.

You need to read Gay Science and World as Will and Representation, not those light books. Also picrel
Try to follow a pattern where I read non fiction in the day and fiction at night. Been reading a lot of fantasy as is so am heavily considering starting with the Outlaws after my current read.
i'd like to own a copy of Ted K's manifesto but i'm afraid that would put me on some list
You post on the Chons. Some dumb glowie intern is already reading your shitposts.
posting on IQfy has already put you on a list
Nice. Read As I Lay Dying a few books back. I’ve thought about it a lot. I’m reading All the Pretty Horses after I finish Philipp Meyer’s The Son.
Haven't picked up a book in 5+ years. Roast me. Or recommend to me. I don't care.

You have to be 18 to post here.
The ones on the top look in suspiciously good shape
You can read books and also not destroy them you know
If your book isn't beaten up, cracked at the spine and slightly more yellow by the time you're done reading it, was it really your book that you read? or someone else's? one of the joys of owning books is that you can do whatever you want with them, you can rough them up whichever way you like because they're for your and YOUR eyes only
Surely, you understand such a masculine feeling, yes?
>Surely, you understand such a masculine feeling, yes?
no, i'm mtf.
Don't listen to the hecklers, anon. You did real good for your first year. Most of your peers will have read 2-3 of those books at most throughout their lifetime. Make sure that you fall in love with reading and do it because you are passionate about it. Find what you liked and disliked about this selection and model your further reads after that. God bless you.
Post it
Sure, I can post mine. I intend to read these (in no particular order) after finishing The Brothers Karamazov.
Idiot was his worst read Demons instead.
Can read The Trail in a day then snack on The Penal Colony.

Felt like driving all the way to uni to get this one today. Needed more summer reading

I don't know man, I read Theogony today
No, you read 3 pages of an irrelevant work by a complete hack. Does it feel good to post a picture of the $80 you wasted because you fell for the meme? Low IQ monkey
You don't need to project your insecurities on me. Just because you didn't like the Greeks doesn't mean I don't. I already enjoyed Ilaid, Odyssey, Oresteia, Republic and others and now I just continue my merry way. Its just like the Arab saying:

I pirate almost all my books as I'm a poorgay but I started purchasing physical copies of my all time favorites. I don't know if that's weird but I like to have them and I wanted to give a little back to the authors, I guess.
>that copy of Frankenstein
My brother in Christ, that book went through a mashing machine or what? I hoard books and I have several editions of Frankenstein, I'd give you a free hardback, but we don't even live in the same continent.

I'm already suspicious of the quality of that translation based on the title alone.
It's Moncrieff, he renamed In Search of Lost Time as Rememberance of Things Past too but this was the definitive version for the better part of the last century.
