I’m actually concerned about this. I’ve heard mixed reviews.

OK

I’m a /fit/izen who wants to get back into reading. No flame pls

My copy of Arno Schmidt's "Nobodaddy's Children" comes in the mail tomorrow. I am excite.

If you search through every single book in HPB literature section you can actually find some decent stuff. I am happiest about the Meyrink since he is one of my favorite authors.

Should've gotten the Burgin-O'Connor translation.

>>14624761
Report back after you read the Faulkner. I’m debating getting into him.

Those may be meme books, but they’re the good meme books.

Nice choices.

My short stack

>>14625037
thanks friend. i've read norwegian wood, kafka on the shore, and im almost done with 1Q84 for murakami. i read notes from underground by dosto and thus spoke zarathrustra from nietzsche. do you have any similar recommendations? i've enjoyed those and would like to branch out a bit more

>>14625075
not that anon but if you like Murakami my favorite is Sputnik Sweetheart

I don't buy paper books and don't need them. Soulseek has everything I could possibly need for free. Kindle fits inside my coat pocket and comes with me everywhere. Everywhere I go I'm reading. Less materialism faggotry, more reading. If you disagree with me, that is ok. You are wrong.

This thread isn't about your thing, though. Nice ad btw.

Can someone redpill me on Rousseau? He’s started popping up in everything I read.

dilate

my planned stack for february, gonna start with the road. haven't bought them yet though because i have one book left in my january stack which is kind of boring and i definitely won't finish it if i get more to read.

i thought these books were gonna be a lot bigger

it's entirely possible, first one I read and now I'm a grad student so piss off with the elitism

>>14625704
Calm down sissy. I can't stop him (you) from reading it as an introduction to philosophy but it's still quite an inefficient path towards proper understanding.

Unless you're a philosophy student doing post grad study it doesn't really mean shit, either.

>There are people who read Murakami posting on /lit/ right now.
>There are people who have no gripes with placing a Murakami book on the same stack as Dostoevsky

Absolutely vile.

>you can't read a before you read b!
>you can't read b before you read the full works of c!
>you won't understand it bro
fuck off. i'll start wherever i want
>>14625947
i agree. murakami has a much more vivid imagination than dosto

Meme-worthy or solid?

>>14627272
I don’t know if Infringed harder at Infinite Jest or the nude collection.

I've posted this a few times this month, but bear with me since they're all thicc books and I haven't finished the stack yet.
3/5 of these are recent purchases, 4/5 are re-reads, and I'm only done Hobbit and LOTR out of the stack. 1100 pages into Joseph right now.

The Road took me a few days to get past the first 40-45 pages for some reason, I just couldn't keep reading... but after that it was a breeze. Dark book, but I liked it

>>14625045
First time reading it?
