I'm really in to transgressive literature, especially if it's non-fiction or based on real events.
Not pictured Thompsons Hell's Angels, Weisbeckers Cosmic Banditos and Bukowskis Post Office cause I lent those to a friend
Also read Jack Blacks You Can't Win while ago, shit was great.

redwall is the most /fa/ childrens book series

>read
>Sooo may fits
pick one. You seem to be looking at pictures.

me:
Iain M. Banks.
>Fucking culture novels.
Kafka.
>Holy shit, that dude was crazy.
Random climbing and geography books.

>>9888793
OP here
Keep up with JP lifestyle/fashion magazines but I generally read a current affairs magazines (New Yorker, Atlantic, Technology Review) and punk zines

>>9888873
It's an actual genre m8
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgressive_fiction
I went to /lit/ asking for recommendations for books similar to what I liked and someone pointed out they are mostly transgressive literature about young males, often involving drugs and anti-social behavior.

At the moment reading We, after i'll probably try read Ulysses in German or The Iron Heel

>>9888907
>reading translations

>>9888909
Need to practice my German somehow.
>I'm going to learn Russian to read We
>I'm going to learn Japanese to read Murakami novels

>>9888929
>I'm going to learn Japanese to read Murakami novels

>>9888929
>Need to practice my German somehow.

>>9888888

Not him but : anything by Goethe, von Schiller, Hölderlin, Heine, Hesse, Thomas Mann, Ernst Jünger, the obvious Kafka, and half of the pilosophers who actually matter.
ignorant fuck.

>>9888987

>I'll see which one is highest rated on amazon

>>9888998
Yeah but at least he didn't insult me back. Eventhough 4chan killed my communication skills, I think that's pretty cool.

>>9889002
Sorry. DUDE. I tried plugging them into Bing but didn't it send me relevant articles.

reading Armance by Stendhal

>>9888732
>See this thread
>Popeye FUCK YEAH MY NIGG--
>Oh, he probably means that Japanese Popeye magazine
>Semi disappoint

Is that mag any good? The covers always intrigue me. Might import one.

>>9888732
i read modernist novels

woolf, joyce, the list could go on

>>9889071
Bro
I've been buying Popeye since 2009
Shit is consistently good, and the USD is strong against the JPY so it's actually cheaper now than ever to buy
Six bucks on Amazon.co.jp plus ~8 for shipping; way cheaper than Haven

>>9889455
Do I have to make an Amazon.co.jp account or can I use my AMERICAN #1 account?

kafka, dostoyevsky, kerouac, pynchon, burroughs, joyce, nabokov, wallace, murakami, classic literature, philosophy, and science

>>9889830
Make a Japanese account
Can't help you there
But it was hard to figure out, from what I remember
It took like a long time lol


You might actually have to sign up for Tenso just to put in a dummy Japanese billing address/primary address then choose your American address as the default
And I think you can only use Visa cards
Toootally worth it in the end

Or just use CD Japan cuz it's less hassle (nearly the same selection but higher shipping costs)
Plz use SAL or EMS....any cheaper shipping method will drive you insane

Re-reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas currently. Read "The King in Yellow" by Robert Chambers before that. Might re-read This Side of Paradise by Fitzgerald next.

>>9889868

Also now looking for CDs because g'dayem did Japan have some good music before all that JPOP weeb shit appeared.

True. And men's non-no. I have some mags downloaded. I'd like to get physical copies but they'd only seem worth it if I can get the most out of them, aka not just looking at pictures. Oh and for y!jp and rak

>>9888732
So we're all just gonna ignore the dildo machine in the top left, huh

Your library game is weak OP.

>>9890007
You haven't even read all those books.

You all read garbage.

It's the /lit/ equivalent to wearing Wal-Mart clothes, especially OP's.

>>9890014

92% according to my spreadsheet, Half of it is design anyway so basically picture books for adults.

Only style books I own

>>9890030
I read Simpsons and Futurama comics.

>>9888732
I read fantasy, fairy tales and myths and legends.

>>9890036

I really like it bro

Reading is for NERDS.

Nobody likes some dumb faggot who thinks he's cultured because he read some shitty "Philosophica" novel

>>9890622

I only post here, thanks, even if it's a bit of a mess of styles tough.

>>9890324
High fives.

Fantasy-core when?

I own a lot of Murakami, was never into reading until I found him, then I moved towards shit like Crime and Punishment, the Divine Comedy, etc.

dalooose

>>9890699
Hopefully when the elves invade. Humans disgust me.

these threads are always trash on /fa/

i was a literature student. i still read plenty. most of you kids don't understand what you read, and never will. i almost want to tell you to just not bother

>>9890635
>2015
>not being educated
>not having a good mastery of language from reading
>not being knowledgeable

Stop being a fool.

>>9892181
Cmon m8, you're acting like one of the /fa/tfucks here. It's better if people read, if they don't understand, at least they'd be closer than where they were before. Some things are up to too much open interpretation.

>>9892182

>not arguing the merit of any of those things
>just greentexts like a moron

>>9892185
well, a lot of the people on here just want to read things that they think will make them look /fa/. that's the problem. props if it actually makes them think, but i have my doubts

when people ask me what to read, i tell them to read a published novel by thomas wolfe (NOT tom wolfe). then get back to me

>>9892221
You seem more insufferable than whatever pretentious cunts are posting ITT

>>9892245
i know, i probably am ;_;

OP here
Nobody is funny =((
Kindly post inflammatory/meme book covers
I'll start

>>9888978
not other guy.

aber ich will auch mein Deutsch üben. So oder so, lies etwas wie Kafka.

Good Old Neon is in this collection and it's my favorite short story of his:
