Why did you guys recommend me a book with no plot?
I am mid way through and have not even picked it up for a week straight as there is just nothing interesting to get me into the story. I cant even remember where they are going or why, its not giving me anything either to lead towards.
>Why did you guys recommend me a book with no plot?
Because books aren't just plot delivery devices. If you can't enjoy what's actually written just for the sake of how it's written then you've been filtered
>. I cant even remember where they are going or why
if you read it as a monty python holy grail skit it all makes sense
gwauh wgw agw a! djf dhja!
>no plot
The plot is they're mercenaries trying to collect Indian scalps, but they're criminals so they start doing bad shit and bad stuff happens.
>I cant even remember
Your problem homosexual.
You've been trained by pop culture (filler between ads) to passively spectate melodrama, defined as any narrative where plot and action predominate.
Anything else will feel like too much work, or impossible to understand.
I saw some excerpts posted here and also saw the author ‘chatting’ about ‘science’ with Lawrence Krause and it’s hard for me to think reading this is worth my time:
Is it worth it? Is it like game of thrones or is it actually good?
Because the impression I got from the guy is that he has no clue about science or philosophy but thinks being seen ‘discussing’ science with Lawrence Krause is a very intellectual thing to do.
>"Is it worth it?"
Not if you have low IQ and are gonna make 5 threads about it after having read it
It's a horrible book. It's grim dark. The typical fan of it on IQfy is an american kid who started reading after seeing IQfy charts. Unless you're a very childish meme lover american kid there is nothing for you there.
t. a 12 year old rebelling against his kind.
You haven't even read it, moron.
He literally didn't even discuss anything with Krauss. He just kept going 'okay' to get it over with. Watch the other video.
As for the book, it is purposefully written rather strangely. The excerpts don't seem to bother most people who read through the whole work. Ironically, it is regarded as a seminal work of prose.
how many years are you gonna waste being butthurt over this? you are literally trying to get back at something like a 5 year old. it's pathetic.
>who started reading after seeing IQfy charts
I read it because my Dad said it was good
>It's grim dark.
What the Comanche did to the Apache was even more 'cartoonishly evil'. Realism shouldn't be a verisimilitude complaint.
>Why did you guys recommend me a book with no plot?
Just stick to movies and vidya.
I agree OP. The other day I tried to pick up Moby-Dick and it also has ZERO plot. For real, I just checked some spoilers and the fricking animal doesn't even show until the near end. Did this guy seriously expect me to read 999999 pages of random shit to just get to the point? Frick outta here.
they they tried that format with lost and game of thrones and its fricken boring, switch that shit off
only sopranos puled it off, for being a high comedy
>no plot
How are you defining plot?
Usually their is some clear goal to work towards ie kill moby dick. This thing has no real villain or end goal. They just seem to be going along doing stuff but without it leasing towards anything.
Now look up what the actual definition of a plot is
And even by your idiosyncratic belief of what a plot is killing Apaches is like killing the white whale.
I will never read McCarthy. After all, why should I?
as i understand it, his books come with a set of playing cards featuring the characters of his complete works. I bet you can guess which card the Judge is.
>book about real historical event
>complains there's no "plot"
???
>Doctor Manhattan judge
>Venture Bros. font
Who the frick makes this moronic looking shit?
>no plot
Sounds like Marvel movies are more your speed, moron.
A fancy paragraph about the weather then 15 pages of no plot grim darkness, then a new chapter starts and you do it all over again.
FILTERED.
You seem proud of being dumb as frick
I'm 1/3 in and it's okay. Just a party of vagabonds messing around in no man's land. The closest thing to Book of the New Sun I've ever read. This is the "Boy runs away from home" genre.
I’m a bad Indian
This one time a man walks into my space
Asks me questions about my things
I tell him
When he suddenly interrupts
As only a white man can
With all the euro-swagger of a man who’s people where so sure of their place in the universe
Their place in the world
Their place in the eyes of God
You speak real good for a
Native American
An indian
A savage
A pagan
A prairie n*****
A godless heathen
And I would be justified in punching him
In cursing him out
In calling him racist
That would make me a bad Indian
Which contradicts that old saying
You know the one:
The only good Indian is a dead Indian
I’m a bad indian.
I’m here.
this but for being a straight white male in a university kek
Are the parts in spanish actually meaningful?
Especially the tarot at the beginning
