Read Rolando Perez essay on cruel humor in Don Quixote, even in Cervantes' time people were laughing at his retardation. It's much later that they started considering him a proto-romantic. Nice dubs tho.

Notes from Underground. Hit way too close to home

So you realize the definition of the words you're using right OP?

Everyone posting ITT have better been posting non-fiction or slightly non-fictional books, where the main character was based accurately off of them.

>>18095577
The metamorphoses, Sadly I'm still a man and not a bug, I also like C&P MC but I realized I was worthless after that.

>>18100475
>I'm thinking of being a buddhist to hide embarrassment
That's not going to work, I'm telling you now as a Buddhist. You need to fix your problems first. You could try seeing a whore like the other anon suggested, but this has the potential of simply inducing more problems if something goes wrong for some reason. You have to work on changing your psychology and coming to terms with your own deficits, as cliche as this advice sounds. It can be done with sustained effort; it's not something which occurs with the flick of a mental switch. You will eventually come to grips with your own personal problems and develop confidence (and resultant attractiveness) by simply being objectively self-aware.

The search for happiness and fulfillment but never finding it and eventually going completely crazy somehow speaks to me.

>>18098806
same book except I'm more like Quentin

Hesse: Glass Bead Game

The Bible. Get ready for another flood, losers.

I was totally Arturo Bandini as a young teenager. The destructive mix of psuedo-intellectual and hormonal outrage really unlocked some memories I hadn't thought about in some time.

Glad I've changed mostly for the better since

The Catcher In The Rye

The typical Houellebecq character probably. Sexually and romantically unsuccesful, apathetic and slightly bitter, intellectual interests, drinking problems etc

are you from dublin?

>>18100769
Got cheated on in high school, got revenge, which caught me jail time and a felony. Went through court program to expunge my criminal record completely, and now I’m dedicating my time to investigating the seedy underbelly of the world in an attempt to fix it for my own personal volition, not because someone else is specifically paying me to do so.
All while getting massively stoned in the evenings when work is done and occasionally doing psychedelics.

>>18100754
does the book cover state the translator?

>>18106048
Most likely a girl, google found it on wikipedia and it dates from 2005, so before the tranny explosion and she? has a few other pictures on wikipedia which strongly suggest female. Just the first picture on an image search for a gagged person that caught my eye.

>>18106044
RIP anon.

The Beautiful and Damned

>>18100484
Okay full honesty I don’t know where you’d even begin to get a prostitute. Do you just go to a seedy part of town and look around? Obviously don’t name any exact places because feds but like give me a vague direction, this information may be important for me

So you don't read?

>>18106807
If on a winter's night a traveler (Italian: Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore) is a 1979 novel by the Italian writer Italo Calvino. The postmodernist narrative, in the form of a frame story, is about the reader trying to read a book called If on a winter's night a traveler. Each chapter is divided into two sections. The first section of each chapter is in second person, and describes the process the reader goes through to attempt to read the next chapter of the book he or she is reading. The second half is the first part of a new book that the reader ("you") finds. The second half is always about something different from the previous ones. The book was published in an English translation by William Weaver in 1981.

Kind of...you try to but the book you're reading keeps changing.

>>18106825
I was making a reference to a character in the book and referring to a common meme for style points since it lacks a protag to compare you too.
