Douglas Brinkley, although his subject material is somewhat limited. He’s incredibly accessible and brilliant in his coverage. Never even thought twice about Roosevelt and the national parks until I found his book and he turns what sounds like dry, boring history into something you can’t put down.
There are quite a few great and popular (for obvious reasons) historians like Robert Dallek, Jean Edward Smith, McCullough obviously, Goodwin, and Brenda Wineapple who tread the path between neutrality and enlivening the story to make it “readable”. Ambrose is really the only one I didn’t care for in that bunch because his writing is very “here’s the facts” with no narrative, and he has been known to attribute things to “interviews” that have no real backing. Undaunted Courage on Lewis and Clark was almost unbearable to read and I regret ever buying it desu.

I don't have the resolve to do much besides read but it doesn't require me to do anything but sit in my own house. Curing depression in contrast seems like very hard work.

What do you mean? I was okay with finishing it and not making everything out. I think a lot of the stuff doesn't make sense and it's not supposed to. You might understand what's happening, but not the reason, consequence or significance for that event. I mean, a guy who self inserts as badly as Delany did (mixed race, clumsy, bisexual) doesn't strike me as a particularly careful plotter like a Gene Wolfe, for example, but more of an exercise in pomo wankery.

>Are you a Buddhist (Mahayana) or are you just reading the first two for fun?
I'm not comfortable with consoomer religious praxis, so I wouldn't identify myself as Buddhist for having merely read Buddhist texts. I have also read the Long Discourses and the Middle Discourses from the Pali Canon so I wouldn't limit myself to Mahayana either. That said I would eventually like to take up meditation or visit a temple, but I am skeptical of any communities in burgerland given what we've done to every other religion. At minimum I find the Buddhist views on metaphysics, epistemology, phenomenology, etc. to be valuable.

> I find the Buddhist views on metaphysics... etc. to be valuable

I feel the same way. I am exploring Christianity (primarily because I think the cultural aspect of Buddhism would be too difficult to integrate into my American lifestyle and way of thinking) but I’ve noticed that there’s such little focus on key metaphysical and especially ontological questions. Much of the Protestant services I’ve been watching online feel closer to self help / life advice and I’m not understanding how it’s possible for someone to apply a doctrine without having a solid logical base to justify it. Buddhism and Hinduism really outclass them in that sense.

Naked Lunch rips. How was Blood Meridian? Also, there's a great adaptation of The Castle on the Criterion Chanel right now if you want to see what I think is the best Kafka adaptation ever made.

It was great, honestly. I haven't read The tartar steppe yet, but I'm familiar with the plot and as far as I know, general similarities aside, The steppe (making broad assumptions here) has more to do with waiting and borderline metaphysical tedium and that sort of thing, whereas Coetzee's novel can be read as a commentary on otherness and the hostile behavior of societies against what surrounds them. But anyway, Coetzee's a genius and his prose is pristine, so you should read it. Sorry if my English isn't the best.

What was your opinion on Turn of the Screw? I remember hating it in high school. I tried rereading it during the pandemic, but still hated it. Is there something I'm missing with Henry James?

Have you read A Day Lasts More Than One Hundred Years? It's another strange, anti-Soviet scifi story. I quite liked it.

hated it, but it was on my reading list for college so there we are. i just couldnt suspend my disbelief when the protagonist's main issue with the ghosts was not that they were ghosts, but that they were poor people ghosts.

Yeah I am also trying to avoid all these therapeutic self-help pitfalls that all the contemporary voices on anything religious or philosophical are shot through with. It's all a variety of coping, which is great for livestock and office drones (Mindfulness™ is little different from saying 'god loves each and every one of us and has a plan'). Coping is the root of all seething. We must go beyond cope and seethe to realize... true sneed

The only way to escape cope is to die. You cannot live a life free of coping

don't often browse /lit/ so didn't want to make a thread and don't know exactly in which thread to ask so this'll do. I read the Hannibal books save for Hannibal (the last one) years ago and want to reread at least Red Dragon and SotL. My questions are whether Hannibal Rising is worth it or if it weakens the character by giving him some sympathy explain all backstory (barely remember anything of that book) and if Hannibal is as awful as I hear whenever someone mentions it?
