i dont own any of his books and nobody is selling any near me

Is there any justification at all why this board is so obsessed with pynchon

>>22085728

>>22089160
He's a good writer.

>>22089160
He’s pseud bait. The Pynchon fandom one /lit/ has greatly waned over the past 5 years

>>22089203
Not if I've got anything to say about it. Effortposting--deploy!!

SJC looks fucking awful. Woke as hell and representing itself as extremely perfectly diverse. Every student is a token. Would never give money to support the marxists running such an institution.

>>22089007
A majority of the books are straight out of “Great Books of the Western World” so I am not sure if they have an agreement or something to supply students.

After reading about 200 books, you will still be a mediocre fellow. But unlike all other mediocre fellow's you will have convinced yourself that you are superior by virtue of you reading 200 books.

because it's not accepted syntax in the english language, there is no native speaker who would ever say that or understand it. the other times he changes the word order are different because they are all mutations that are understandable and come from english itself, not interpolations from an entirely different language. It's incorrect. I only "know what it means" because it's common knowledge that Milton used latinisms everywhere.

i'm gonna help everyone in this thread out real quick

him who disobeys me, disobeys

there. fixed.

>>22089192
then it should be "he who disobeys me, disobeys" because you've made "him" into the subject.

>>22089195
nah

>>22089183
>there is no native speaker who would ever say that
There's no native speaker who would say any of the outrageous things which are put into the mouths of epic heroes
>or understand it
It is readily understandable within the poem

>>22088945
I liked it but I was honestly expecting more from it. Good and captivating novel but nothing remarkable about it,imo

>>22088956
Good to hear you liked it. What made the novel captivating for you? Respond with few spoilers if possible.

Personally, I enjoy the relaxed feel and the way it takes the philosophical conversations as tiring side remark; like a cozy conversation with a friend you haven't seen in a while.

Have they told you how much it will cost to get the ball rolling?

>>22088940
No it's proper historic, publisher. They get subsidized by the England arts council.

I picked up "Sahara" in a used bookstore a few years ago but him crying about the 2005 film (which I found enjoyable btw) left a bad taste in my mouth.

OP here. Sorry, accidentally attached the wrong pic.

Land merely ripped off Adventures into Fear, a short-lived comic anthology from the 70s by Marvel Comics that starred "Morbius, the Living Vampire", a man who finds himself caught between cutting edge science and mysticism after a failed experiment turns him into a creature resembling the Vampire of myth and Legend. His adventures lead to him encountering the ancient Sorcerer known as Father Daemond and the Caretakers—an order of aliens from a futuristic planet committed to uplifting humanity into a race of technologically empowered Supermen (even though similar efforts on their homeworld lead only to death and misery)—who have been at war with each other since the first proto-human ape picked up the first stone to use as a tool.

He spent 10 years writing about how bitcoin and crypto would overthrow the silicon valley establishment, only to find that technocapital rapidly and efficiently co-opts and recuperates everything that's supposed to be a hedge against it. In a couple years, he'll be forced to admit the same thing about AI. He should have just stayed a Marxist because he's obsessed with making predictive claims that are 100% wrong and disproven by time

>>22088844
I, OP, am new on /lit/. It's the first time that I see somebody talking about this topic.

>>22088846
Who?

>>22088837
Do the needful and read R K Narayan (especially Malgudi Days). Along with Rabindranath Tagore and Kushwanth Singh.

There is no culture in ''the USA''.

''the USA"were founded by bourgeois tax evaders in order to have a huge land where they good do what bourgeois do: mercantlism.

no monarchy= no history= no culture = no art

And the colonies have no need for a culture because the mercantilists in ''the USA"' reached them already.

In canada the only culture you can find is on the french side, this speaks volume about the angloworld.

>Khushcunt Singh
That coomer was okay in small doses and in articles here & there. But over-all he is a mediocre and despicable man.

Melville wrote about this although I can’t recall if it was an essay or one of his letters.

i fucking hate the shrike so much its unreal

>>22088820
No.

Book one only

>>22088820
Yes, book 1 and 2 are cool also read the terror. Books 3 and 4 are basically space huck finn plus terminator 2

>>22088827
Why?

YA fantasy romance

>>22088876

Are you really in the navy?

I like to work on stuff that tries to hit genre and literary at the same time, so I've been writing two novels in this vein:
>a crime novel about the son of a rich man who wants to reject his rich lifestyle and become a big-time criminal, seeing it as his ticket to respect and making something of his own. On a thematic level it is about gentrification, culture-swapping, etc
>a horror novel about realtors trying to sell a house haunted by demons. Think HGTV-meets-The Exorcist

Hegel literally spends like 5 pages in the preface of POS ranting about why the mathematical method is shit and doesn't work for philosophy

>>22088939
don't listen to these morons, learning mathematics won't teach how to think especially if you have to start with basic algebra and calculus because you will just be learning how to do shit by rote, especially if you use Kh*n academy. you won't learn anything about how to think until you get to more advanced mathematics which has a huge learning curve and is extremely difficult to teach yourself. at best you can get "how to prove it" by vellman and work through that.

but you should just start reading Plato. his works are designed to teach you how to reason.

>>22088683
Loeb classical library has a much more thorough early classical Greek philosophy section.

>>22088683
No. Studying Greek philosophy is like trying to understand a man by studying his prostate cancer.

>>22089002
>midwit got filtered

>>22089002
Filtered

>>22088683
Yes. It's a quick read and interesting. It's incredible to imagine what an undertaking starting out philosophy from scratch must have been -- no giants on whose shoulders to stand. I first read it while living in a mud hut, so I think that made it feel a bit more relevant.

>>22089008
What must it be like to live with a heart so full of mistrust?

it IS lit

>>22089027

You aren't supposed to be playing the story you're supposed to be reading all the books.

Would appreciate some help, please. To promote discussion, what's everyone's favorite work of his?

>>22088860
unfortunately i just have the physical copy and not the digital. no scanner either. sorry friend. favorite work is The Ambassadors by a long shot. Poor innocent Strether.
"You have had me!" Most heartbreaking line in all of literature.
