/lit/ - Literature

What are you currently reading /lit/erati? And how are you enjoying it so far?

>Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
I'm actually really liking it. It's non-fiction which I don't typically read that often, but it's so interesting that I can't quite stop. It has the feel of a southern gothic, and it's pretty entertaining. I don't think there's any deep philosophical stuff in it, but it's good fluff that's for sure.

Does anyone have that link to that post apocalyptic novel that takes place in a future with french muslims and a archetypal hero who has magical healing powers?

ITT: YOU'RE ONLY TRULY LITERATE WHEN YOU READ SUPER BORING BOOKS WRITTEN BY DEAD MEN AND PRETEND TO ENJOY THEM SO CUTE GIRLS WITH BANGS WHO LISTEN TO BANDS THAT ARE OBSCURE WILL BE YOUR EMOTIONALLY DAMAGED GIRLFRIEND AND THINK YOU'RE REALLY SMART BECAUSE YOU READ REALLY BORING BOOKS WRITTEN BY DEAD MEN BECAUSE COLLEGE PROFESSORS WHO ARE SINGLE SAY THEY ARE THE BEST CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY. IF YOU DISAGREE YOU HAVE NO CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS AND ONLY READ TWILIGHT, NOW EXCUSE ME I'M GOING TO READ THE SOME CHAUCER AND FAP OVER HOW GOOD IT IS AND NEVER SHOW ANYONE MY PRIVATE WRITINGS BECAUSE MAYBE SOMEDAY A KAFKAESQUE THING WILL HAPPEN WHERE ONE OF MY FRIENDS THAT I DON'T HAVE WILL GET MY WRITINGS PUBLISHED FOR ME AND I'LL ME SUPER FAMOUS FOREVER.

Also that goes for this entire retarded board filled with pretentious skinny trust fundies hipsters faggots. /lit/

Best place to download science textbooks or science related books?

I've tried searching #bookz and #ebooks but since none are science specific I couldn't find anything of what I was looking for.

Hey e/lit/ist, I am currently reading Madame Bovary and I was wondering if anyone else read it?
I personally think so far that this book is amazing. Emma Bovary is basically the girl version of Don Quixote. Fucking retarded because of literature. I hate her a lot. But, surprisingly it doesn't weigh down the book into a complete waste of paper. The story is fluid and so is the translation I am reading. I can definitely see how this can be a classic.

I found this book that has three short novels by Faulkner which one should I read. There is Spotted Horses, Old Man and the Bear.
