you’re almost more embarrassing than claude

For the love of god stop using the edgelord cover for BotNS

BotNS is overdue for an omnibus with a minimalist aesthetic. Almost all covers have a bit of edge to them.

>>11481691
you know, i bet New Sun might have really caught on by now if it didn't look like it belonged on the manga shelf

No, but still better than the faggot that would add Culture of Critique to this pic instead of your genre fiction.

You better not forget this tomorrow.

this cover rules

>>11481793
yea it's clean and fashionable but if i didn't know what it was i'd still bet it was a japanese cartoon

I have heard such great things about this book but absolutely refuse to read it due to the awful cover. It looks like an action novel for young adults.

>but absolutely refuse to read it due to the awful cover
>literally judging a book by its cover
>an outdated print at that

>minimalist aesthetic
Way worse than an edgy aesthetic.

>a load of obnoxious lexiphanic bollocks
yep, it's the /lit/ canon alright

>>11481717
Shadow of the torturer cover is kino

I don't know about the others but Gravity's Rainbow is the best book ever written

>>11481954
That just makes it better

>>11481793
The Death Note covers are the best

BotNS is literally awful. I got memed into reading the first volume of it by some catholic-fag-Croat and have regretted the hours it took me to read ever since. Wolfe cannot write women, which I normally wouldn't care about, but he makes so many women characters central to the plot and the dialogue is just sexually-charged banter typically between some stupid whore and the mega virgin protag who cannot make it more than one page without acting as a Wolfe self-insert to express his repressed Catholic sexuality. To put it on par with two of the greatest works of world literature is the sign of sure-fire fatal autism: someone who puts it on par with Ulysses probably either has not read Ulysses or reads Ulysses and self-inserts as Stephen or Bloom. The book is supposedly (((layered))) with deep Catholic symbolism, but that doesn't save it from being an absolute trash heap of a novel formally.
