/lit/ - Literature

I've got my work cut out for me but honestly, I enjoy the fuck out of all of this. I'm always on the lookout for art type philosophy-stuff so any recs are welcome.

>2666. By: Roberto Bolano
2666 is great and I flew through the first three books but the fourth about the cops/murders is a bit of a challenge (albeit worth it). I fell like I will be thinking about this for a while but I am not sure what the impact will actually be.

>New Dark Age By: James Bridle
A very interesting book that's helped focus some ideas that have been blurry in the mind cloud. The writing is very clear so it is easy to pick up and jump in, the only problem is the information can be a little hard to internalize/process.

>Ice Cream Man and other stories By: Sam Pink
Some pretty good short stories. I started it just so I could get a break from the Bolano for a day or two. It is a quick read but enjoyable. Sam Pink is a pretty cool guy as well.

>The Postconceptual Condition By: Peter Osborne
I got a bunch of these Verso books when they were doing a half-off sale about a month ago. This is definitely on the academic side of writing but his ideas are communicated effectively. What I like most is his objective in catalyzing artistic thought. He's an academic but his language appeals to maybe more creative type minded folk.

>The Power Broker By: Robert A Caro
I have only made it insofar as the introduction and first bit of early life biography. I'm excited to get farther in to really start to see how the dominoes line up, and fall.
