Had a fresh pint at the pub while reading Chesterton’s ‘Orthodoxy’

Last time I read drunk was Warcraft: Illidan

starting to reread stuff I read in high school, Lolita is on the list, along with Joseph Conrad, Turgenev, Maugham, James M Cain, Vonnegut, Tom Wolfe

Chances are I will croak before I finish, as the internet has destroyed my ability to read novels, it seems

>>20788742
i am drinking instant coffee and trying to get through infinite jest, and I'm about half way. I'll be honest anons, it's far better than I expected based on reading that people here seem to dislike it for some reason. My favourite part so far has been the description of the guy going through drug withdrawal and having a seizure. That shit was beautiful.

>Silence by Endo, 1 hour to go
What a great book. I've been trying to foist it on everyone I know since I first read it, without much success. Every time I reread the book or rewatch the movie some new angle on the story suggests itself to me. Have you read "The Samurai"?

>>20788742

Holy kek

Fucking hell, I can feel the tipping and m'lady emanating from this thread.

Earthly Powers by Anthony Burgess.

Excellent, though getting a little bit formulaic, and is pushing my credulity a tad. For how authentic some of it feels the rest is a little one note.

>>20791410
What kind of tea is that?

>>20791410
Oh, and green tea!

>>20788742

>I have not read the samurai. Is it also by endo? Gib author and I will read it.
It's also by Endo, also based on unusual episodes in the history of Catholicism in Japan.

"Silence" reminds me of my time in the Peace Corps.

selected poems - yannis ritsos

i gave up drinking a few months ago. i have a cup of tea.

these poems are nonsense, by the way. some of them i do like for the imagery of them, the strangeness, the sound. but i do have a low tolerance for pure nonsense, which this seems to be.

>>20788742
Drinking instant coffee until I hyperventilate, as usual.

>>20792940
And reading a Ligotti short story "The Spectacles in the Drawer" and then starting a Ballard novel because this novella I'm reading by Jeffrey Ford is kind of fucking boring.

I don't remember Four Roses being very good.

>>20790283

Instant coffee and SACER

Red wine (Faustino V)
Orlando fFrioso, penned by Ariosto

cones & The Master and the Margarita

Almost done reading. I had way more fun reading this than watching the movie, but the longer pornographic scenes are tough to get through. The way Ellis arranges Bateman's thoughts through the story is really interesting because most of the time he can't end a paragraph thinking about violence. He has to change the subject back to something hip like his crocodile loafers or compact discs. Once I started noticing the shape of how Bateman was relating his life I could feel him slipping away before he even mentions his Halcion not working so well.

I'm drinking water mixed with pink rocksalt and reading the original Pinocchio.

Wild Turkey 101 and the book of Mormon

reading the memory police and drinking gin and pomegranate juice

I'm reading memories of ice and drinking scotch

>>20790283
Its a meme, people love to argue about it, but it's a hilarious read with a setting and characters that are really easy to slip into.

>>20788742
Anton Chekhov's The Duel

The characters are scum but Im intrigued by the caucuses

>>20795688
Chekhov’s novellas are unappreciated compared to his short stories. You should check out The Steppe and My Life

>>20788742
I drank some warm water and read What Men Live By

besides the circumcised cocksucking, it was an ok read

>>20797831
I'm just in the beginning, when Thomas fights the river thing. I really enjoyed how vivid it was.

>>20797843
sorry i dont want to spoil any further
it was an ok read with some passages obviously forced in by his handlers or his personal political agenda, as the main characters act out of place for the setting and time they are in and it just not progressing the storyline in any way or form rather than muh demonic antisemitism
good goy literature sadly

>>20797871
>good goy literature
it's ok, don't think it can be more pozzed than modern day US

>>20797881
as you can mostly skip those parts without any actual loss to the story, it can be a quite decent read
thinking about unpozzing my book with a scissor and some white-out

Elmer T Lee and Gaskun’s new novel.
It’s the blind girl from Popopoka in a contemporary retelling of Dante’s inferno that takes place in a Kentucky trailer park with some hints of lovecraft. It doesn’t suck.
