Last: Flatland - Interesting little novella, those who love mathematics will love this. Those who require interesting plot and story structure will not.
Current: Goodbye to Berlin - the rise of Nazism in this novel's pretty bad-ass. Nice how it's episodic.
Next: Walden - continuing my way through American books that Americans love to praise.

Although I do see how all of this existentialist lit can make you think that. However, if you've been here long enough you would know that Camus and Kafka are always in circulation.

"Now, the water and the egg have to meet each other ona kind of equal standing. One can't get the upper hand over the other. So the temperature has to be the same for both. I knock the chill off the water first. Just the chill. I don't let it get warm because the egg is room temperature, you see. Now then, the real secret is right here in the boiling. When the tiny bubbles come to the surface, when they as big as peas and just before they get as big as marbles.Well, right then you take the pot off the fire."

About TCOCDW:

This was my first Lovecraft reading.
I loved it!
I heard that he was very racist, not a good writer and that he only had good ideas.
I should know better than to listen to people. They only see what they want to see.
The book was very well written, both in prose and in plot. There wasn't any real racism, the 2 times it came up was about evil characters working for even more evil white characters and there was also a black couple that was very positively represented for that time period. Hell, they were depicted as better people than most of the book's other characters.
It should also be noted that the Mother of Charles Ward was based on HPL's own mother and that he had her survived with her sanity intact (in rl his mother dies insane in an asylum becuase of syphilis I think).
But the best part of the book is that it SARED me! That was the first time in my life that a BOOK scared me. And I read horror books all the time.
Dat fucking exploration of the catacombs beneath the farm!!!
The story was also very well rooted in historical facts. Most of the books mentioned and a lot of the characters actually existed.

I give TCOCDW 9/10

About City Of The Dead now:

I'm only starting it but it seems to be a very depressive and realistic look at life in New York in the 70's view trough the eyes of the city's coroner.
It's pretty bleak for now. But in a good way.

TIG was great. Really liked it. Was something different and relaxing too, and being a chess fan I really liked it.

>>2682598

How are you enjoying The Defense? It actually got me back into playing Chess.

>>2682616
>>2682616

I'm really enjoying it. I just started my exams though so I've slowed down on the reading and will have to re-read the last chapter or so. I think I'm at chapter 11 if my memory serves me right.

It was a little different for me. I got into chess again and then I went to look for literature on it.

I highly recommend The Immortal Game, by the way. It was really nice.

>Magic: the Gathering: Agents of Artifice
>The Dying Earth
>Keynes' General Theory

Agents of Artifice surprised me with its quality. It's not just a great Magic novel; it's actually a decent novel in general.

The Dying Earth is interesting. I'm reading it mainly as a means to understand Gygax's inspiration for D&D.

A Farewell To Arms, Ernest Hemingway.

>What are you currently reading?

Jailbird, Kurt Vonnegut

>What are you going to read next?

For Whom The Bell Tolls, Hemingway, and Crime and Punishment, Dosoevsky.

>Reflections

Most of the war reading I have done has been along the lines of Vonnegut, Hemingway, and O'Brien; and yet I feel strangely drawn to the military. I plan to diverge from this track soon, but I cannot help but feel as if I am missing something without war.

Aside from that, I am growing more fond of the people around me. I feel that I understand them far better now. Vonnegut and Hemingway have taught me to think of people as simple fundamental beings.

>>2682711
Jailbird was a nice read. I need to pick up more Vonnegut next time I'm out.

>Last - Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs
>Current - Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick
>Next - Either On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Age of Innocence by Edith Warton, or trying to track down Lolita.

>Reflections: Burroughs has made me reconsider what I get out of reading, the purpose of literature, the ramblings of the mind, etc. Naked Lunch was by no means good, but there was a certain.. capture of the mind. High Castle is an interesting premise and world, but I have a feeling not much'll happen in it.

That's why they're so good. Catcher definitely isn't his best work.

- Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle

- Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

- A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, James Joyce

- Well, god damn, I'm severely disappointed with Brave New World, maybe its because I read The Republic so it feels like I'm getting battered by the same themes over and over again, or maybe because its describing reality.

Last Book: The Hobbit and The History of Sexuality vol. 1 -
Current Book: Anti-Oedipus
Next Book: Not sure, probably A Thousand Plateaus

Reflections: it's taken forever to get where i am at in anti-oedipus, but i've finally been able to read the first chapter. it's been life-changing for me, just this first chapter. it's made me look at the world in terms of its material production, rather than trapping myself and my thoughts in an interiority. i feel more connected to nature and reality. it's getting more difficult now, going into all the freud stuff, as i haven't been much exposed to freud nor marx nor nietzsche. all i do have is a semi-good base knowledge of post-structuralist thought, with a focus on foucault, and 3 years of majoring in philosophy. i'm hoping i could alleviate that one day, particularly my absence of a non-lectured idea of marx, but all my thinking is focused on interpreting deleuze right now.

Currently reading VALIS
I haven't decided. Maybe another Philip K. Dick novel.
Reflections: Cormac McCarthy is annoying as fuck to read because he writes sentences like this one and they go on for a while and they have a couple of "ands" in them and he would have never used those quotation marks and then the whole book is just this. VALIS is pretty awesome so far. I like Philip K. Dick's writing style.

Why do you think so?

Last thing you read: Cain's Last Stand by Sandy Mitchell
What are you currently reading? Small Favor by Jim Butcher
What are you going to read next? Turn Coat by Jim Butcher
Reflections: The Ciaphas Cain series is a nice take on the GRIMDARK WH40k universe, but cheap foreshadowing like "but if I knew what was going to happen I would've been really scared" gets used more than it should. The Dresden Files is good. I like how they actually lay down some rules with regards to magic instead of just going 'it does what i want, bitch.'

Last Read: Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad - I read it for a class. I didn't find it boring, like a lot of other people say it is, but it wasn't terribly interesting either. I dunno. I like the idea of Marlow sort of chasing insanity up a river, or something like that though.

Reading Now: 1Q84 by Murakami - I'm really digging it. I'm about halfway through book two. The characters and such aren't anything spectacular, but the overall mystery behind everything is interesting enough to keep me pushing.

Reading Next: Never Let Me Go by Ishiguro - I dunno why I want to read this. I enjoyed the film, but I think more than that, I just really like the title, and the cover of my copy is pretty aesthetically pleasing (my picture).

>Gentlemen felt really thin when compared to say The Yiddish Policemen's Union, or The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.

The last thing I read was "Prometheus: His origins in ancient India", before that I read the Elric of Melniboné series. Currently I'm reading "Seeing through Illusions" by Richard Gregory, the collected essays of Borges and Herodotus' Histories. When I'm done with those I'm going to reread the Golden Bough then the Hero with 1000 faces, as well as "Journal" by Hélène Berr and my fathers diaries. I'll follow those with The Mabinogion, A Thousand Plateaus then the small collection of anthropological literature written by my uncle and grandfather. If I've not been completely distracted by this point, I'm going to hunt down copies of the christian theology books written by my great, great grandfather.
In my downtime I've been reading from an anthology of Indian myths.
