An anthology of my favourite poems.

>>17991720
The final version of my last will.

I would read Anna Karenina twice. The second time is so I don't die wondering if I could have got more out of it by reading it twice in quick succession

>>17991720
I would just go find a nice spot out in the forest and let what comes, come.

unless i'm bedbound, i'd be out assaulting women. if i am, i guess i'd consider starting on the greeks.

>>17991720
I wouldn't, I would meditate.

>>17991744

My diary desu

>>17991744
>>17992000
Fairly confident that both of you would just spend the last week of your life in the fetal position crying about dying a virgin.

>>17992104
Nah, at that point I have virtually nothing left to lose, as long as I'm still strong enough I'd do the deed.

>>17992104
i'd spent my final week how you spend every week?
fascinating, tell me more...

>>17991720
Knowing me, I'd probably spend the whole time panicking. Ideally I'd want to reach some sort of final peace with myself, so I'd just let Proust wash over me and hope I grab hold of something.

>>17991720
Yoga Vasistha

try to come to peace with it, get my things in order, apologize to those I've wronged, and write some letters to loved ones.

>>17991720
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham.
I've read it twice already and it really spoke to me. Probably because i also had a hard time getting started in life and i think Maugham saw deeply into life and made some sense out of all that youthful struggle.

>>17992113
Sure thing buddy.
>>17992114
>how you spend every week?
On Monday I buy my boat, survey came in good, finalized the deal over the phone, just need to swing by and dot the i. Come June 1st we set sail to explore the world. How do you live your life? Frogposting and larping anonymously?

>>17991720
A friend of mine once asked me what book to choose if you could only read one more book in your life. I hemmed and hawwed about it for a while, eventually settled on "Foucault's Pendulum" by Umberto Eco, which I was not quite satisfied with but didn't think much of it, assuming it to be one of those hypothetical 'desert island book' questions. I found out later that this friend of mine killed himself a few hours after I answered his question. I still don't know what I should have answered with.

Death of Ivan Illych

>>17991720
I'd re-read my favorite childhood books

-the menus of the word's best restaurants
-the prices of some A-Grade escorts/hookers who are into debauched shit
-my bucket list of places and sights i need to see

fucking reading a book while i'm waiting to die? seriously?

>>17992155
Does reducing anyone who achieves their goals in life down to a crying wojak actually make you feel better about your life?

>>17992173
You are probably the best anon in this thread. Which is it?

>>17992180
>food sex and soulless tourism

You deserve this fictional death sentence

>>17992182
I have a couple;
<this ver. of Swiss Family Robinson
Dragonflight
The Immortals quartet
Howl's Moving Castle

>>17992216
I had the Great Illustrated Classics version of The Swiss Family Robinson and watched the movie every time I went to my grandparents house. Sitting by their wood stove and watching The Swiss Family Robinson is one of my favorite memories. I assume it has something to with my choosing boat life. I think I am going to order a copy of it and give it a read, thanks for the reminder, anon.

>>17991720
For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway

>>17991720
My investment portfolio, over and over again.

>>17992188
not gonna pretend that i'd be able to focus on reading stuff when i know that my death is mere hours away, so i'll just stimulate my monkeybrain in the two most basic fashions possible and then experience things you can't capture in words.
no matter how hard you try to vividly describe the magnificence of nature, seeing, feeling experiencing the Norwegian Fjords and Scandinavian wilderness is nothing you can convey in a book.
i've had a more memorable time climbing a single mountain for 4 hours than any author could ever craft.

>soulless tourism
i'm not talking about going shopping in paris, i wanna witness the majesty of nature

>>17992137
You got raped by a dude that posted a green frog. You're pathetic, and dare I say - a worm.

>>17992248
Swiss Family Robinson was the first book-book that I ever read, and I remember sneaking into my father's office to search for more books- I was so young at the time that I hadn't gotten any of my own yet, but they were all too "grown up" for me. Then I spied that tattered spine and snatched it for myself. I was obsessed. I read it back to back a dozen times. Almost all the things I like in books can be traced back to this one book. I'm also pretty obsessed with boats, but I somehow didn't make the connection until you mentioned it.

I hope you enjoy your sea-adventure. You're living the dream.

>>17991720
Bible
Yeats
Emerson
Jeffers

Id get around to reading Ulysses. Then I can ask god what it meant.

>>17991720
What does it matter? Most here would probably end up browsing /lit/ most of the time anyway.

>>17991720
Perhaps Mason & Dixon for the friendship simulator and death synergy

The Garfield Fat Cat three pack (all volumes)

>>17991720
If - Kipling
Funeral Blues - Auden
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud - Wordsworth

In that order with a couple days of musing in-between each.

>>17991720
I would unironically kill myself.

>>17992531
/thread
I was exactly browsing /lit/ just before and two days after my near death experience.

The Bible and spend the rest of the time with my wife.

The bible obviously

>>17991766
Just one type wouldn't be enough if you had a whole week.

>>17991720
I would rape

>>17991720
Nothing
I'd take a large loan, go kill my worst enemy and then go have sex.

In search of lost time and minima moralia

>>17991720
memento mori

Call of the Crocodile by F. Gardner

>>17991720
When I was dying I didn't feel well enough to read, I had brain fog from all the drugs they pumped me with. I remember just binging movies but not retaining much from them. First thing I read after my 0.0001% chance of recovery worked was The Republic.

>>17991720
i would reread either warlock, a favorite, or the big clock. something always interested me about the judas hands painting, and the whole story behind it.

>>17991720
the names of all of my victims out loud

>>17991720
I would spend time with my family? Why the fuck would I spend my last week reading books?

>>17995862
What did you have anon?

>>17991720
i'd get hookers and drugs instead of reading

Preparation for Death - Liguori

>>17991720
Probably reread 2666 again. One last ride.

>>17992333
Oh shit, bro, trips confirm.

>>17992104
The difficult part would be tracking down celebrities. Their schedules are hectic!

The same thing I already read every day, pic related.

- One more go around of Sun Also Rises, my favorite novel
- One more attempt to delude myself using the Gospel of Matthew
- One final attempt to cope using Ecclesiastes

>>17996273
Lung disease, some mutated bacteria related to tuberculosis. Was saved by experimental drugs at last second but before that was told I was going 2 die and to say goodbye to everyone.

>>17991720
Is read the Bible and the Quran

>>17992255
Based. The disjunction would be more powerful and absurd than anything some lame author has conjured up. If there's an afterlife you'll have a great story to tell at the dead bar.

>>17991720
Laurence Sterne, anything by
Anthology of Death poems by Zen monks
Bible, esp. Ecclesiastes

>>17996547
based

>>17991720
I would probably not read anything and just do a bunch of drugs while fucking my wife and some hookers.

>>17991720
The Holy Bible, no doubt.
