there isn't afterlife

I still don't understand why it's written Enjoyee and not enjoy

How do I enjoyee my lifetime?

This made me laugh.

Thanks a lot, dude, really appreciated.

>>10894933
Read serious books and you'll learn what suffering is. Not because they'd be especially dull, which they often are, but because they reveal how the world around you operates. You'll also learn what's wrong with you.

>>10895020
Not that guy, but been there, done that.

Now what?

>>10895028
Why did you stop?

>>10895037
I'm lazy.

>>10895038
How far did you get?

Thanks Nue.

>>10895043
I thought I went far enough, but after each year that passes I realize that there's still a lot left.

>>10895020
What are those "serious books" you are talking about?

>>10895067
Anything by Murakami.

Excuse me I remember some times ago there was a chan that was spammed with a /jp/ board do you remember what was it?

>>10895077
So, what did you learn from him? I'm serious, I want to know.

>>10895080
Outside, society, it's like a awesome wild place out there, man. Far out gnarly.

>>10895091
Is that all?

>>10895067
Twilight, Harry Potter, SSiB.

>>10895093
Oh yeah, and we are what we chose to become.

MUH DOSTOYEVSKY

HE KNOWS MY FEELS

*reads serious and mature literature for mature grown-ups such as himself*

>>10895102
I literally laughed.

>>10895077

ew. n. wood sucked. i don't get how it's his most popular novel, even the author himself is flustered. must be twilight teens

Can we assign a name to the guy who keeps going around in every thread talking about how he read Little Boy and uncovered sacred truths of life (in the most insufferably pretentious posting style possible, too - I think he's also the XDDDDDDD guy)

>>10895131
His best work is definitely After Dark.

Wind-up Bird Chronicle is also decent.

Everything else is shit.

>>10895140

What's bad about Alice or 19Q4? I was actually thinking of reading Hard-boiled wonderland next afer n.wood.

>>10895131

norwegian wood was nice, nothing spectacular. a cute love story at best.

wind up bird chronicle though, now that shit is awesome.

>>10895170
19q4 severely lacks substance and it just becomes a extremely bland book, no twists, nothing spectacular leading up towards a rather boring end.

I have not read the other one, however I would definitely advise Wind-up bird for your next read.

>>10895196
>>10895188

Yeah, I thought so. It's the common assent as a decent novel of his from what I've seen here so it's decided.

>>10895139
I can tell you I'm not the "XDDDDD" guy. I can also tell you that I'm not the only one who has read that book or has mentioned it on /jp/. It's really good; you should read it if you're interested in otaku culture. There aren't any sacred truths. It's just a very in-depth look at Japanese subculture, very much like Database Animals.

Please don't be angry with me. I can't really help how I type because that's how I organize my thoughts and I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

>>10895346

Where can I download this book? It's not on TPB and no autismbux.

>>10895425
I can only find this: http://www.gwern.net/docs/2005-little-boy

There are little bits here and there on the site. It's fairly difficult to find, but I borrowed it from my local library.

>>10895446

yeah, thanks. i actually just looked it up on the archive. sad to see there are no coverage or scans of the latter pages.

>>10894951
It's from an old Japanese pop song.
