They actually didn't have him or gass, barth, McElroy, Miller, Gaddis, Hawkes, Lewis. SAD!

>>11021821

You need to go back

i'd rocket my Schwarzgerat all the way up into her if u no wut i em sayn herr

why do y'all act like Pynchon is some esoteric author, he's one of the most popular authors of like the last half century

>"Do you have any Evola?"
>"Let me check"
>reads out a couple names of the books and asks me if that's what Im looking for
>"Sorry we're currently out of stock"
Not a fascinating story, but it happened

>>11021821
>pynchon dem titties
*runs away*

>>11021821
Go to BMV, they have Pynchon stuff and the people working there would know who he is. What store was this anyway?

i was checking out inherent vice from the campus library. the circulation desk clerk--very petite, long fringe bangs, dark lipstick, wan, fashion conscious but understated clothing; a cute--chuffed a little when she saw it and asked, 'this because you saw the movie?'
to which i replied: 'no. is it any good?'
'i haven't seen it.'
'oh. well, how did you like the book?'
'i haven't read it.'
'oh.'
now the book and this banal little nothing exchange are infrangibly tethered in my memory
thanks pynch

Most readers just read whats popular currently. I mean take "Young adult fiction", it has a target audience, and a lot of times it appeals to them so they read it. I dont see anything wrong with that. People all throughout history have probably read what was in vogue during that time.

And art hoes are hot as fuck.

I made the mistake of asking a bookstore employee for help once too, OP. I went to a Books-a-Million in South Portland a few months ago (it's one of the only bookstores near me) and had a list of books I was looking for:
>Borges - Ficciones
>Dick - Minority Report Volume 4
>Hašek - The Good Soldier Švejk
>Sebald - Rings of Saturn
>Shea - Illuminatus!
>Foucault - Power
I tried looking for them myself but figured they either didn't have what I was looking for or they pigeon-holed them into the back corner of the store where nobody ever looks. One of the workers approached me and asked if I needed help finding anything. He looked at the list I had and brought me to the "Philosophy" section. For about 30 seconds he looked for the Foucault among the shitball nu-philosophy books such as "Breaking Bad and Philosophy" and "Game of Thrones and Philosophy."
>"Hmm, yeah I don't think we have anything by him.
He looks through the rest of the list and does some quick searches on his iPad. He made a comment about the Borges and mentioned he had a copy of it on his shelf at home.
>"To be honest, I don't think you're gonna find anything that you're looking for. We're pretty...low brow here."

Same here, white brother. Just another degenerate, you can tell she hates God and virtue. No idea why these liberals on here are so obsessed with her

>>11021821
OP's pic reminds me: I am a virgin. I will die a virgin. I know this now, but my critical awareness of my state does nothing to releave me of its unrelenting crush upon the hollow wisp that can only in morbid sarcasm still be called my 'soul'. My virginity has become the gorgon against which all my faculties rise only to be turned to stone; but this is no silent stone, this is not the stone of Plotinus that stands as the antithesis of the Intellectual Principle--for while yet stone I still feel the mind's unscrupulous lacerations and all that grieves the very fibers of its being. The spirit is dimmed each time a girl passes before the mechanism of sight that some pitiless god has glued to my body. Even the ugly, unshaven, modernity enthralled women with clowns' hair and bodies desecrated with tattoos which map out upon fastfood fed bodies the vapid cliches that coagulate to form their mind, even these paralyze the life in me. They are aletheia, and even a proxy-pixel-representation of one of them is enough to demolish my virgin-poisoned Dasein. I sit and reflect with the useless tool responsible for my current state, the vulgar self, how such circumstances could have come to be the reality of my life. Is it reality? My mind lacks the courage to fully accept it. There still some part, some childish part, that sits with a child's faith that one day I shall awaken from this nightmare which has slowly usurped the fairer fields that my existence once consisted of. Shall there be reconciliation? Will my virginity follow into that immaculate void that I know all Life, brief machination and jest of some sex-deranged demon, will inevitably resolve in? My humiliation slowly becomes seething hatred for all who embody that element of the opposite sex, and my soul's relentless cry for something beyond suicide slowly twists itself into ever more feverish fetishes that the internet can happily supply an outlet for. I am deformed and too demoralized to do anything about it. I shall die too late, for alas, I have lived.

Art hoe is too mainstream now. They used to actually being into art and high brow film/music/literature since it was based around those snobby university art students but now every normal girl wants to dress up like that.

Who the fuck does this? Who doesn't pirate everything they read? Who doesn't search for .epub, .mobi, or .pdf files? Who doesn't compromise by converting to those files when they find other formats? Who seriously still buys books when most anything worth reading can be acquired within a few minutes of looking at appropriate pirate channels?

>being dumb enough to buy things
>especially books
>and bragging about it here of all places

This fucking board.

>>11021821
You’re mad that people with good taste who work in bookstores don’t buy into Easter egg hunts? Wtf do you even read bro

>>11021834
This never happened.

calm down, NEET autist

>>11021821
If I can't find the book on my own in the stacks then I leave the store and order it online.

>Toronto
I lived there a couple of months for work and EVERY COFFEE SHOP CONVERSATION I over heard was about how cool MONTREAL was. kek. Toronto is an over rated shit hole. It's not even bumping during the week. THURS/FRI/SAT are the only days people are out doing stuff. Which is strange because you can get lit in OTTAWA (a city that has a reputation of being boring) any night of the week.

>>11026551
Neither NEET nor autistic. Calm down, misguided anon. Are you one of those people who waste their money on things?

>>11022873
Also there are book sales!

>>11026569
What else you gonna do with it?

>>11023314
Chad here. This bitch is kind of average. First of all, she's wearing a push up bra and this is as good as she can possibly make herself. Kissless virgins this level of "hotness" is very attainable for you. This TYPE of girl is not. She's self absorbed and thinks shes hot shit. You're better off wooing some fugly bitch and getting her to dress like this. This bitch is THIN, has a PUSH UP BRA, and is WEARING A LOT OF MAKE UP. You can literally find this anywhere don't worry anons.

>spending your money on the greatest works of mankind

LMAO you could have spent it on weed and steam games, man!

>>11026579
Eat food, motherfucker. Take trips. Buy things far more exclusive and interesting than bullshit you can find for free or copy at any library. God damn.

this is about books. no one cares about your larp. go to fit or something, they seem gullible.

>>11026591
>having grandchildren
>using steam
>smoking weed

You're a dumb motherfucker. Why would I waste my money on a piece of cleverly designed wood that covers only a portion of the sensitive paper of a book when I can read said book, take notes on it, and return it to a library; or download said book, never have to deal with wear and tear, and forever have cloud-backed-up notes on it? Dumb shit.

>>11026608
ok but I’m not a yuppie. anything else that’s not banally tied to social posturing?

>>11026625
Neither am I. I'm not talking about eating at some nice fucking restaurant to entertain friends you think you have. I'm talking about spending income on food and using your ingenuity to pirate knowledge for your own benefit because who really gives a fuck how you learn? If anything, your position itself is social posturing insofar that you wish to present yourself as some fucking Arthur of a reader who praises the written word and will shell out shekels to support the starving artist. Enjoy a meal with your pirated book, anon. Don't make this more complicated than it needs to be.

>>11026610
>"hey hey babe chill out, yeah? just wanted to speak with you thats all"

OP needs to go back an unfurl his massive 12" lit dick onto the counter and let said libshit art hoe cashier repeatedly open and close the largest ten ton tomme in the shop on his manhood while he forces her to recite quotes from masterworks of the cannon

>>11025764
If you walk up to some lad in the street and ask him about Pynchon, no one will know who he is anywhere in the world, but I find it very difficult to find a literature department in the western world in which people don't know who the Pyncher is.

>>11026635
your list and defensiveness is yuppie af senpai.

>>11026591
>>11026608
ROFL literally owned him before he even posted. Knew what type of faggot he was.

Books > food/drugs/shit you will forget the next day

>>11026681
I don't care about lists, nor am I being defensive. I don't care how you read, really. Go about your day if you really want to throw 25 bucks at a book that you can easily in a minute find on libgen, mobilism, or IRC channels. Your dumb fucking choice. The severity of my language isn't a defensive tool but rather a rejoinder. Your justifications are silly, especially when it comes to authors who aren't even alive and whose books are no longer published.

>>11026682
>eating and taking drugs so often that they are things you "forget the next day"

>>11023209
I hardly remember what it feels like to be attracted to women. I look at this woman and I just feel weary, like I did a whole day's worth hard work. I think something is wrong with me.

hey buddy, you’re not convincing.

>>11026752
Nor are you addressing core concerns, chief. Fuck off.

I can’t access yuppie things when I don’t share those values bruh.

>>11026769
I can't take seriously anyone who dismisses wholesale ideas they don't value as "yuppie things." You're a child more interested in sniffing its shit-stained fingers than discussing anything seriously. Take a walk.

You mean you finally woke up to the roastie question?

Found V for $1.25 today at a secondhand sale on campus.

>>11026849
Understandable. One of the things I dislike the most about women is that you can't throw them around like you do with your male friends.
Yes, I'm bi.

uhh, anon...

>>11025624
Wtf i love tittypears now

>>11027952
The chick we are talking about is Indian therefore all her features are "indian" any white woman resembling her would then be said to have Indian features

>>11027965
she isn't even attractive compared to the average pure white-white girl though.

>>11027970
Its subjective

>>11027970
she's hot as fug and I want more

>>11027973
it's called yellow fever

Those aren't even real

>>11028094
And neither are the poo's. How shit are you at identifying a manicure? The sad thing is that the poo nails are still that stubby whilst being manicured, meaning her natural nails are even more grotesque.
