>it's almost like bukowksi discovered 4chan in his late 20s, goes full skizo and tries to write a book in patrick bateman style
that sounds amazing, fellow /lit/ user

>>22017327
oh shit nigga
how the fuck did you got unbanned from amazon?

>>22017408
you just gotta know the right people

>>22017424
are you serious?

>>22017444
yes and no
personally, i don't know the right people.

Are there hardcover copies of the book?

>>22017214

>>22017214
Looks interesting, will give it a whirl

Anyone got the sequel?

>>22017573
Er...how are there 5-months-ago replies to a conversation that was 10 months ago?

>>22017214
for the love of God please someone post the epub version. Converting PDF to epub isn't working.

>>22018568
Just use Calibre

>>22018568
too many graphical elements...it's not gonna convert properly

>>22017567
????

The concept is really cool. Simple and yet I've never seen it like this. Basically diary format but with very short entries, just 2-3 sentences at the start. This allows for "controlled randomness" with quick transitions and entries that feel like aphorisms but inbetween a story emerging that you have to figure out.

MNM-DR vs F. Gardner

>>22019232
You have to be fucking retarded to even think there’s competition here. MNM-DR is the original /lit/ author and Frank is just some moronic man child trying to scam children.

>>22018642
I'm asking for my kobo.

>>22019430
along with the paperback, i released a version for kindle in 2015...and it always looked like shit...so i removed it.

>>22019441
happen to have an epub file lying around somewhere?

>>22019650
in between Createspace switching over to KDP and then Amazon nuking my ass in 2018...
i think i lost the epub version. i'll check my files tho

>>22019745
thanks let me know if you can find it.

>>22017279
Amazon has it. Worth the read for sure.
Plus comes with a cool coloring book in the back

>>22019745
Will you sign my copy?

>>22019232
F Gardner’s books are far edgier.

>>22020145
kys you worthless faggot. If you had even a single functioning brain cell you’d realize how opaque your posting is because you always use the same fucking pictures. How fucked up was your whore mother when carrying you, or did you make yourself retarded on your own?

>>22019441
I have it and while the reading is long overdue, I'm reading Mixtape Hyperborea right now. I might be able to read this thing over Mother's Day because I won't be able to write this weekend. Greetings from /wg/.

>>22020315
It's shorter than it looks desu. Can read it in a day

>>22020333
Good to know! I did notice there's a lot of pictures in it and the text is big. What is the word count actually? I wish I knew the word counts of some of the things /lit/ has done. I can definitely say Nesmer's stuff is pretty short. And Labuschagne probably writes the longest novels here off the top of my head.

>>22020352
The diary format just leads to more empty space in the pages. Just finished it and was amazing.

>>22019777
sorry, epub-anon. it's not on my flash drives or brick externals.
there's a 99% chance it's on a desktop window 7 pc (used it to write BAS)...but that's in storage.

The bug the bugs they want to do drugs.

I didn't really like it. The misanthropy of the protag, while entertaining at first, became so tired and dull by the end
>shitfuck this
>fuckshit that
>cunt nigger dickfuck shit this
We get it. A couple hundred pages of Lahey's shit metaphors from Trailer Park Boys. The protag also came off as a huge pussy until the final chapters. Constantly bellyaching about killing someone but never actually following through with it, instead taking his anger out on a neighborhood cat or something. The author would really like you to believe he is schizophrenic, but it felt forced and inauthentic. I did find the book interesting overall tho. The author does have his moments.

A few points were unclear to me. so Charlotte disappeared because he beat the fuck out of her? So he imagined the address on her head?

>>22022641
>So he imagined the address on her head?
wot?

>>22022767
when Charlotte comes home and she's beat to shit he looks at her head and sees an address/name or something. That's what he uses to go to the guy's house... was that imagined or what?

>>22022876
imagined...bigtime.
he sees the guy's name on the back of her skull, and after prepping the Colt .45, he just knows where guy lives.
the reality is: MNM-DR beat up Charlotte at some point and she moved out of that apartment with her cats.

>>22022641
You might not like it but you have to admit the very short diary entry format idea is great. Name me a single novel that has ever done that.

Anyone took these through virustotal already?

>>22023480
anne frank? wuhan diaries? cache lake county? any diary ever published? it's not uncommon in the slightest
>very short
not all of the entries in the book followed this format

>>22022943
that's what I figured. the unreliability of the narrator made things more interesting, and gives a lot more depth to the events as they (may or may not have) unfolded. the poop part made me laugh until I cried.

Cool, glad to be able to finally see what this is about.

I can also relate to having a shitty roommate. I shared rooms with an inconsiderate Chinese kid in high school. He would play League of Legends at all hours of the night, keeping me awake with his fucking shouting. I would do various shit to him discreetly to get back at him for being an utter asshat. He kept a cup for his toothbrush in the bathroom so one of my ways of retaliating was putting my cum/piss into the cup, and putting the brush bristles down, allowing the plastic fibers to soak in my spunk. There was always a small amount of water/toothpaste at the bottom of the cup (he was lazy and unclean), so the piss/cum concoction was never noticed.

>>22023533
did you actually look at it? It starts with entries that are 2-3, 3-5 sentences long, this continues for like 20 pages, after which some longer entries are included but still mostly 3-5 sentences. Anne Frank isn't like this at all. It creates a strange bizarre flow that I haven't seen in any other novel.

>>22023570
dude

>>22023570
you deserve to receive violence

>>22023570
what's the point of exacting revenge if the person doesn't notice your revenge

>>22023734
Because you watch him swallow your sperm every morning and night? It's fucking hilarious and makes a sleepless night well worth it

>>22024317
kek

Book is written in tweet form, I like it, It tickles my ADHD zoomer brain.

>>22020139
of course

>>22023551
i went back and looked...dude, i don't even remember my own stuff.
Charlotte writes the guy's name and address down in a notebook.
but the imagined/unreliable narrator is still in play here.
