/lit/ - Literature

>last
Dubliners by James Joyce

>Currently
The color out of space by H.P. Lovecraft
Monty Python talks! by David Morgan

>Next
The tibetan book of the dead
+something.(maybe Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas R. Pynchon)

The current books are really interesting.

TcoS by Lovecraft puts a really interesting twist on the formula(that is still very much there)

And Monty Python talks! has really interesting bits.
Maybe it's because I find behind the scenes stuff really intriguing.
I can really dwell into it.

Some of Delany's stories are quite beautiful and you can tell he is a good writer but I just find his books sort of aggravating to read

I can't really tell yet ; I've started yesterday and I've only read twenty pages or so. The prose seems good by genre-fiction standards though.

>>7928629
I absolutely loved it. I will definitely give it another read in a couple of years. It made me feel a little crushed about how I'm no longer young though and have moved past the being shaped age if that makes any sense to you.
