Read the first half of this last night and I thought it was really good. Anyone else read this?

What the actual fuck is going on, every book I begin to read becomes a thread on /lit/ the day after. Is this board a part of time that happens within technology, a rhizomatic space of myself?This truly is, weird and eerie.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 25 11:44:56 2019 No.13002871 >>13002410 People haven been shitposting about Fisher for quite some time now so you might've gotten the thought to read it from there. Might also be an instance of frequency illusion.

It's good, especially if you've read the stories and watched the movies it references a lot. I liked it more than Ghosts of My Life, but I didn't grow up in the British music scene of the 70s and 80s so ymmv.

I don't think you need to read Capitalist Realism for a good understanding of The Weird and the Eerie - they're not really all that related. I would recommend reading CR before reading Ghosts of My Life though - those two are a bit more intertwined.

If you like The Weird and the Eerie, I'd recommend spring-boarding into Eugene Thacker's Horror of Philosophy books. They pick up very nicely where Fisher left off.

I really like the idea that the second half of Mullholland Drive is just as dreamlike as the first half. I had accepted the standard reading of the film for years and it was cool to hear an opposing view. Should probably give that film a third watch. Seen Blue Velvet 5 times (its my favorite film) and Eraserhead twice.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 25 12:28:26 2019 No.13003055 >>13003036 Well, then we all just exist as actors in anon's solipsistic reality. Or we in yours, or you in mine. It's propably me though and the moment I cease interaction you will collapse into ethereal nothingness. So have fun with that.
