Incredibly incorrect and cringe

>>18065862
I can see how he would've made that conclusion though. If you read A Canticle for Leibowitz and you're not Catholic (or not thoroughly educated on Catholicism) you miss out on A LOT of nuance.

Fallout New Vegas can be reasonably peaceful if you play peacefully. There are pacifist factions like one called Followers of the Apocalypse, which are a bunch of travelling doctors and charity workers.

>>18066415
everyone kept using that as proof that Pynchon played metal gear solid but honestly I imagine that the guy probably just looked up what video games were hip and popular and just used those. probably asked his son about what to use

>>18065923
ive read the book and played the game, id say the reason why the comparison is drawn is the whole post-apocalypse geopolitical aspect specifically in part 2 with Texarkana, Mississippi republic, and the nomad barbarians and other factions scheming and vying for power. i would say its somewhat of a valid comparison as i got the same vibes from the book but it of course leaves out quite a bit of depth

>>18064665

>>18066902
>probably asked his son about what to use
I've always thought it was that his son probably liked metal gear and explained the plot to him or something and he thought "huh that's kinda neat for a game" did a little bit of research on it for his book, and decided to throw in the "hideo kojima is god" meme in for extra cool, in the know points.

“WITH THIS BOOK I respectfully invoke the heroic, aggrieved souls wandering in the boundless bright-red sorghum fields of my hometown. As your unfilial son, I am prepared to carve out my heart, marinate it in onions sauce, have it minced and placed in three bowls, and lay it out as an offering in a field of sorghum. Partake of it in good health!”

This book was a lot of fun.

I had a lot of fun making this....a shame people don't talk much about the Space Trilogy here even though "That Hideous Strength" is the most relevant novel of our times, "Out of the Silent Planet" is a comfy children's novel, and "Perelandra" is....well...THIS!

>>18067694
Based, yeah Space Trilogy and Til We Have Faces I both think about a lot.

>>18067664

When I get deeper into the Greeks I'll consider reading this. Don't want to get into a situation like when I read Dante's Inferno and couldn't make sense of all the Greek myth in my present uncultured state

>>18067781
explain it to me

>>18067938
The ending is similar to End of Evangelion. That part's pretty straight forward as it even kinda has the whole "Congratulations!" thing with everyone clapping.

The Videodrome because of a chapter where people are described as being living arcade machine. They're alive and their brains are inside of arcade cabinets and their blood vessels are inside the machines as the wirres and cables and stuff. It's pretty gross but's obviously the reason.

The Hellraiser pic is simply because the general plot is a lot like the plot of that movie.

>>18067694
well this sounds interesting. some sort of christian sci fi I presume?

>>18066987
My exact reaction listening to the audiobook. Was hard to not zoom out.

>>18068026
Oh boy it kind of is...well I suppose the series is nested in something of a scifi atmosphere, but this particular book is vastly more theological and mythic than the other two members of the trilogy. It can be read standalone, as Lewis states in the intro, but you need to look at some summaries of the first book to get context I think. Canticle of Leibowitz and Perelandra (both my favorite books) are both in the "Christian Scifi" category, but those two works are extremely different so I don't know if the category "Christian scifi" is a meaningful classification.

Irregardless, Perelandra is something of a retold Genesis myth. But don't think I spoiled the plot by telling you that, it's way deeper

>>18066987
yeah desu but it got me interested in latin

>>18067426
I haven't read The Good Earth series so I don't know. Did Buck do the whole Asian thing where over-the-top emotion is seen as sincere/passionate, not melodramatic/comical? (I'm assuming they're even when it comes to overuse of sentimentality).

I think Japanese lit is able to make that shit passible because they have a certain level of bushido stoicism mixed into their culture.

P.S. Sorghum is literally feed and seed.

>>18068474
I've read it too long ago to be able to remember any particulars on the portrayal of emotion....the MC as I remember gets intense feelings of freshness, calm, concentration, and joy when he works in the fields. His vices only really start to emerge strongly when his fields flood preventing him from working daily. Intensely comfy if you are into farming. I ought to enjoy the sorghum book since the first time I grew sorghum in my backyard was one of the most profound moments of my life.

I don't believe I will describe it in detail, but promptly, at that time I figured out how reasonable growing grain is, as I had a good yield from my small patch, and the ability to utilize the easy-to-process sorghum grains into a real kickin' porridge was amazing. Also the plants created a sort of symbiosis by leeching sugar from the leaves and vomiting out tons of pollen. The result was:
-aphids everywhere, consequently it became a ladybug factory. Never seen so many ladybugs in my life. Then lacewings began to reproduce there. Then a flock of flies came along with lizards. All under a massive swarm of bees. A thick layer of molts and aphid skeletons was found beneath the patch. Buzzing with activity it was crazy

"Feeling as though his bladder was about to burst, Father got permission to climb down and pee. Once he had retreated into the sorghum field he released a mighty stream the color of red sorghum, which stung the head of his pecker as it gushed forth."

"Father had gone swimming so often in the Black Water River that he seemed born to it. Grandma said that the sight of the river excited him more than the sight of his own mother. At the age of five, he could dive like a duckling, his little pink asshole bobbing above the surface, his feet sticking straight up."

>>18075437
Yeah the last part of the book when they're coming back from Moscow is brutal. The one part that sticks out to me is when the officer he's tagging along with is starting to die in the winter and he lifts up his coat and asks Jakob how he looks and his entire torso is raw and covered in lice and Jakob just tells him he looks fine then snags his coat and horse after he dies. Also I distinctly remember there being like several instances where the army came across a storeroom full of food in a village and so many people poured into the warehouse trying to get food that hundreds of men were trampled or suffocated. This happened at least 2 or 3 times.

>>18076415
One is a melodramatic romance; the other is meant to be more static (with more shit about scenery than romance). They're both kind of lonely (but if you read a book called "Snow Country" about an older man having a fling with a young geisha you'd probably expect that at least).

The book ended up being an aloof middle-aged man of leisure going to a resort and meeting an immature/youthful geisha (who gets drunk a lot), hooking up with her, and not changing (just reflecting on emptiness and waste...no passion).

I could have just put the picture of the guy just standing there (but I still liked the book and went for that instead).

>toxic masculinity
Not a real thing

>>18080709

The male characters in the book were cartoon chauvinists who needed their hooks baited by the female lead in order to fish. They're then mocked by the interior monologue of the female lead for their (masculine) pride in catching a fish.

Atwood is an overrated writer whose shallow opinions are mistaken for having depth. "Toxic masculinity" is presented in the novel; the main character is a naturalist Mary Sue.

Get the point?

What part of a fat woman in a shitty homemade leaf costume would have you take the idea of "Toxic Masculinity" as deeply treated subject matter?

Oh, you're triggered by words themselves? The knee-jerk reaction of midwits such as yourself are the reason shit like Atwood is taken as serious lit; her overly simplistic cartoon chauvinism actually rings true with reference to triggered incels like yourself.

I guess you're upset because not even a girl like (pic) would consider fucking you; not even if you read all of Atwood's books and offered to take her sari shopping for her brown friend from college's wedding.

Midwit who did what he was told during bible study becomes an atheist as an adult in a culture in which atheism is prevalent.

He probably owns Religulous on DVD and is subscribed to Penn Teller's twitterfeed.

>>18082853
>Parents force religion
My mum's a non-practicing Christian and my dad "believes in a higher power but not any religion". I got into Catholicism on my own as I was reaching puberty and started getting into the mythos around it.
>enters secular society
I went to a Catholic high school and all my friends were Christians/Catholics, before that I didn't know anyone who went to church regularly. I'm still quite involved with the Church, I just don't believe their mythos.

Complete opposite of your midwit take. Good job armchair psych, I hope they can refund your internet degree.

I've really never read anything like it.

Mostly the book is just cozy, when the characters get together, they sit down by the fire, and tell stories, and smoke tobacco, but a lot happens, despite my lack of ability to describe the plot.

>>18082959
Hmmmm....the majority of greentext points you made there line up perfectly with the novel Robinson Crusoe lol. I am looking for one of those campfire yarns and did happen to recently visit Maryland so why tf not...although probably getting myself into some real muck unawares

>>18083711
I meant the newfag is the same guy who wrote about "reaching puberty" under the guidance of his secular humanist dad/Cultural Christian mom and discovering Catholicism via his friends at school (only to remain active with the church while not buying into "the mythos"). Doesn't even realize the irony that the joke was he's a midwit product of a basic midwit environment.

If it's the same person...I give him a week before he goes back to Imgur.

Even without the catholic subtleties I still think it can stand on its own, though you'll obviously miss a lot. I get how its an influence on fallout and the general post-apocalypse genre, but still, Fallout is very different to the themes of the book.

>>18083434
The main story is told from the perspective of a man in the 17th century having dreams of the future where he's reunited with his lost love. therefore, the entire story (completely without dialog) is told to you in 17th century English, which is rough but you get used to it. then there's the whole Journey.

I crawled in complete darkness for 30 hours, ate 2 rations, slept 6 hours, continued crawling for another 18 hours, ate only one ration because I ate two last time. I did this for 3 months.

It can be very slow and repetitive, and the old English doesn't help. but the world building and action is good.
