Is your pic an actual argument or a meme? Hard to tell sometimes...

>Is your pic an actual argument
There are only memes here, pseud.

The Story of Art by Gombrich and Concerning the Spiritual in Art by Kandinsky

>>16901139
its not in the form of an argument
it is an observation

Starting Stoner
then Lolita
then Homeric Hymns
then A Canticle for Leibowitz
then Theban Plays
then Oresteia
then hopefully read another 4 books so as to reach 50 books read this year

Flannery O'connor's short story collection. I don't know why but I automatically see all her characters as black by default so when a story like TAN comes by again I have to take a moment. I honestly thought that Head and Nelson were kind of moneyed societised blacks hating on low city 'negroes' as a sub-class that even they spit on. That one makes no sense that way but a lot do.

Does this Kandisky's book is good? I have it sitting in my house for long, never read.

>>16901098
Holy shit, same.

The Book of Disquiet

Just finished 1812 by Zamoyski. I was fairly horrified at the part where he mentions soldiers would have their cocks freeze solid if they tried to piss during the worst of the cold conditions. I recently picked up The Worst Journey In The World so I shall be continuing the horrific frozen conditions theme for a little while yet.

what haiku are you reading today

>>16901090
Infinite Jest, so I guess that makes me a midwit.

>>16901090
If you need more than 300 pages, you have failed as a writer.

>>16901225
her style reminds me a lot of langston hughes's short stories

>>16901090
Myth of nations by Geary

>>16901090
On the Road by Kerouac. Saw some reviews saying it was tedious and difficult to get through but I haven't been so engrossed in a book in a while. I love the style and how personal it feels.

>>16901139
are they not commutative?

>>16901090
Moby Dick audio book, Pride and Prejudice non-audio for when I can’t/ don’t want to listen.

I have The Magic Mountain on back burner when I finish P&P

>>16901646
How are you liking it? I tried it a while back, but halfway through and it still hadn’t really clicked for me. There are some great singular lines, but the novel itself was just kind of a chore.

>>16901225
I don’t want to read about blacks

>>16901090
i am a cat by natsume soseki

>>16902305

Germania by Tacitus. Short book, more than half the text is translators footnotes.

>>16901660
Sumitaku Kenshin

>In the pool is ruffled, the winter sky

War and Peace

>>16903397
Mine's the punisher.

>>16903662
I misread it as

the pool refilled, the winter sky

and liked that version better.

>>16901090
East of Eden. Love it. Steinbeck's prose always puts me into a trance

>>16901090
Malcom X: A Life of Reinvention.
It's apparently a reaction to his famous autobiography, which I meant to read first, but my hold came through on this one first. Anyway it's pretty well interesting. I'm still only at the part where he becomes a little less hate-driven and racist, but apparently he still wishes he could go back to his cult. Long read. Genuinely interesting.

>>16901139
Is there a difference?

>>16903273
recommend me a book and I will consider it

>>16901911
It should be 10 short books
