There is so much to read, lads, so much to read out there. There is so much to live also. So little time though, and so little brain power. Isn't it a curse to be just smart enough to gauge just how stupid your really are?

The High Life by Jean Pierre Martinet

>>11045412
For me, it was that scene near the end where HH is driving then he stops and climbs on a hill overlooking a town and he has this small moment of introspection, this surge of the senses. I found it very touching though it's not really one of the defining moments, it's not even about Lolita explicitly, he isn't thinking about her; or maybe he is, kind of.

Stoner hit me hard, mostly because I got the news my father had died just as I was finishing it. All throughout the book I had been thinking of him, he was in many ways like Stoner, and so the end suckerpunched me.
The Walk by Robert Walser also immersed me into such sweet pain the likes of which are beyond me to describe. It has stayed with me every time I think about that piece, or about Walser in general. One of those Gondola gifs would suffice to express it in visual 4chan meme-speak. If I could find words for it, I'd be a writer.

I haven't read any Flaubert yet and I was going to start with his three tales, then probably Madame B. If this is similar to Huysmans maybe I'll start with it then.

Heard a lot about it but before I get to these pomo phonebooks I still have a lot of classics to cover.
