I finished Heart of Darkness yesterday, started The King in Yellow and I'm already 2/5 in. I think I'm going to start a "pages general" to motivate anons to start reading a little at a time

Only the first 3 stories are worth reading. Everything else is boring.You're better off just reading a short story collection of Carcosa mythos.

I was angry with my brother today. I tried to find comfort in Scripture but I don't think I can unless I reconcile with him. I just wish we could be normal.

I have read Hunchback of Notre Dame (abridged), Stoner and David Copperfield these past hree days, all around 260 pages long each. Am I a good boy?

>> No.13500334

How long does this take you each day? What translation?

Also, try reading some the wisdom literature. It'll help you make sense of some of the NT better.

Thank you! I started the intro a few days ago and that got me kind of down a rabbit hole into the Decadent movement, so I'm excited to get into it and explore it. If you've got any recommendations I'd love to hear them. I've got The Picture of Dorian Gray and something I can't remember the title of by Gustave Flaubert already, but don't know much else.

I read about half of Foundation today and I'm not terribly interested in it so far. Should I bother finishing it?
