Kill yourselves

>>13490629
It's the pseud killer. People who post in these threads like the idea of owning books more than reading them. Like retro videogame collectors that never play a single one of their games.

That's incel behavior

Light reading for this summer season. The Italian titles are:
-Aristotle and the fatal javelin
-Notes from the underground
-Chronicle Of a Blood Merchant

The books are okay, but the music is cringe.

VERY cringe.

I don't speak hon hon hon but looks solid by recognizable authors and titles.
>>13492789
VERY based. I may need to get this myself. Wordsworth did a line of classic erotica at some point, too.
>>13492815
VERY based ×2. Confronting the textures and architectures of language itself is an inevitable necessity for the serious reader.

>>13492856
These break my heart--excerpts from erotic works, but some of the works (especially the older ones) are very hard to find in full now.

I read one book at a time. This week I've been reading A Knight's Tale - a Jonsa GoT fanfiction. Very nice! But shame that it's sequel will not be made. On to Duty and Honor next, where Ned didn't died in GoT.

>GoT fanfiction

>>13494518
Some of it is very high quality, almost as good as the original author himself, some even better. You just have to find that one in a million fic.

I also read Harry Potter fanfiction, always straight ships though. There my favourite ship is Dramione. There's an ongoing awesome fic called Manacled which I read every time it updates.

Recently started reading on a kindle. Way cheaper and more comfy. I'm planning to buy the physical version of books that really get to me tho

>>13496421
Same man, I got a kindle for my job as some of the kids I work with freak out at the sight of books. It's also convenient that it fits in my pocket so when I have enough time for a chapter (~15 minutes) I can just read it. Heavier reading I still do at home.

We get it. Very clever. Your e-reader saves you space etc etc. Can’t you at least post your e-stack?

Are you going to dive right into Stalingrad?

>>13497695
No, I just finished Voices from Chernobyl and now I'm reading No Country for Old Men.

Then I might read Stalingrad.

how you enjoying that JK huysmans? going to pick up one of his books to polish up my french when I'm not so poor as I am now probably

>>13498659

I didn't know Marcus Aurelius wrote a book about Frank McLynn.

reading these for the next 4 weeks

>>13500125
Invisible Cities is one of my all time favorite books.

>>13500145
Can't fault that. If you haven't already, go for the others: Palomar, Castle, Cosmocomics...

>>13500148
I read Cosmicomics and I didn't really like it.

I have Baron in the Trees and Winter's Night in my backlog.

>>13500125
Love it. You're missing folktales and six memos though.

>>13500160
True, and a few others that are finally coming out in English soon. I'll scoop them up as budgets permit.

How do you nigga read more than a couple books at a time?

>>13500125
learn Italian.

>>13492142
if you already speak french learning spanish is not that difficult, it's worth it to read García Márquez

Is Adélia Prado anything like HIlda Hilst?

Not really. Adélia is a poet of down-to-earth things, while Hilda was one of the fantastical. To me, Adélia is much better.

>>13500678
Fuck off cunt, no one cares for your hollow itemised opinion.

How's the Vollmann book? Its in my backlog

Not much free time. Do you read Italian?

Yeah dude it's tough I'm only about 1/3 the way through. It's tough but I am getting a lot out of it. I'll be happy when I can move into something else tho

>>13500880
Haven't read it yet. Got it for my William collection.

>>13501023
>Do you read Italian?
A bit. Need to improve. Same for French.

>>13490517
I have that book about Nazi Germany. I still haven't read it because /lit/ told me that there are better choices. The only problem is that I forget what those better choices are. I might be able to find them in my bookmarks though.

A book “about the Third Reich” is always going to be of limited use. The Nazi seizure of power, the Third Reich as German government, and World War 2 are all huge subjects that even the best historian in the world would struggle to fit between two covers.

Richard Evans and Ian Kershaw.

Richard Evan's Third Reich Trilogy.
