Also, all this television via internet sucks. I'm not talking about streaming sites, but where you hook up that box to the television set. You can't switch channels at the crack of a whip. And if it's a popular show, it may lag and static ensues.

But clearly an improvement over the old analog television, right?

Excuse me, but I bear witness from how television deteriorated. The worst casuality was Discovery Channel. I think it was back in 2006 that they sent some late-night special about a haunted house. And that marked the begining of the end. It was bascially bad story telling repackaged as true life. "What if our house was haunted, herp derp."

Another channel that I for many years longed to have but that went totally into the dust is the Syphilis Channel. One program was about som middle-aged bitch that claimed to be psyphilic and bossed around her children with that. (Beat your kids everyday, because if you don't know what they did, they will.)

The modern father of this bad story telling is Uri Geller. He was all like "what if I could bend spoons, oh sorry Carson, I got the tummy aches, so I can't bend today". Compare him with Magneto, a character that is based on an absurd premise that they stick to.

And then there's those programmes that is not even shitty story telling but practically makes themselves; "reality" shows.

Open source books? Like all the lovely kopimi literature I'm drowning in.

Sorry, but airport-core beats fedora-core. Artistically. Economically. Layoutically.

Le Monsieur Bon-bon is a french book about a pedo. It was supposedly banned.

The Demolished Man and The Stars My Destination/Tiger! Tiger! by Alfred Bester.

Seems like we live in different worlds, and I can respect that.

Because I see numerous similarities between ASOFIA and IRL.

The thing is that Gandalf already can shoot lighting bolts from his ass. So why doesn't that power corrupt him?

Goody! Stay pat.

Hell fucking no she missed him! Some 10 years ago I had this work were some bitch called his husband all the time. And the thing was that you couldn't call a specific individual, but every incall went to everyone's portable phone. It went on for weeks, but our bosses should've had the balls to give her a telling-to after just a couple of days.

So >>3965284 did just the right thing. Because that bitch couldn't into quality time. Work is work and play is play. How fucking hard is it to get that? Especially when it's syringe and petri jar work, not the pleb work I had where everyone is replaceable.

Here's a scrapyard. Enjoy the edges.

The worst book I've read is Vinterviken by Mattias Wahl. It's a YA-novel that basically cashed in on contemporary issues like national socialism. One clever plot twist is when the protagonist's friend has turned national socialist and he stumbles upon propaganda that laments the death of this nazi by the hands of niggers - before the fact! They're basically setting him up to be a Horst Wessel, something the pigs would've never found out.

How long is the timespan in Malazan?

Why not go for the slipcase editions?

>>3967184
So the movie rights to the other books is put under lock and key or what? :-S

>>3966645
Sounds like Infinite Jest... :P

Didn't Tolkien consider LOTR to be a sideshow?

And if we say that the hobbits initial "street cred" is 0 (violence is something that happened to other people in the past) and for every character of ASOFAI is 10 (violence is something that everyone can commit or be a victim of, so para bellum). What is the "street cred" of the other books?

Breivik's manifesto is 1500 pages long and half of it is quotes. The other half is probably plagiarism.

It is also interesting that he doesn't show any familiarity with two of the things he claims to defend; The Bible and the norweigan classics. If anything, Breivik is basically internet culture without the ironic distance.

So yes, a pritntout of the Breivik manifesto is quad fedora-core.

But only if it's swastikas on the cover. Go for the "yin-yang" edition.

Here's my suggestion. This book. This edition. Everything else is pure shit. Also The Turner Diaries or some other book where the cover design looks home made yet powerful. Extra brownie points for badly hidden sexual symbolism.

Also, he's very good at geometry and theology. As a matter of fact, the modern world lacks geometry and theology.

All books by Greene and Smile or Die by Ehrenreich. Also, if you want to make women laugh, learn to be funny.

>>3963833
Are you going to eat the book?

>2nd cover is lacking the rump state in the rockies
Nice Yin-Yang, tho!

>>3963054
I got that edition. Soo 90s! :3 Never cared about lack of swastikas and never will.

One underrated book in that genre is Codreanu's For My Legionaries. It was supposedly written during one year, is his political testament (testament is something you write when you're know you gonna die, derp) and covers the second half of his life.

However, I suggest that you read Focault's Pendulum by Eco first, because you're in for a ride into the paranoid mind. What Eco satirizes and lampoons with Rat Pack-style, Codreanu dorks on, with his greasy dick hanging out for all to see.

Tolkien is best when read in fonts from TarmSaft Font Factory.
