Recently finished Dubliners.

I uusally read three books at once. My main read (usually philosophy or non-fiction, and usually takes about a week to read) at the moment, which I read at work or on the train, is Phenomenology of Spirit. The book I read to bed (usually fiction) is The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea. My backup book in case I don't feel like reading either that day is currently War and Peace.

I plan on reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra next as my main read with Kokoro replacing The Sailor... as my bed time book.

Just finished The Third Reich by Roberto Bolano.
I thought the ending was anti climatic. I was very briefly into a Civil War board game and got to know some guys who were REALLY into it. He captured the autism and mental illness and the aspect of really intelligent guys with really pointless monomania really well but the political aspects were kinda meh. Of the four Bolano novels that I’ve read, it’s definitely in last place. But I still want to read more of his books.

Fuck me lad, filtered to the max.

Are you seriously incapable of interfacing with such a work without treating it as some form of debased manual or apologia?

Also I should add, it certainly isn't a work of great depth of stupefying insight, nor is it intended to be. As Bataille himself outlines in the coda, he began the work as a mere diversion, only for an inadvertent semiotic alignment to arise which he had neither anticipated nor intended, but which recalled certain tantalizing images from the recesses of his psyche.

I'm friends with a monk inside a local abbey which is highly traditional so I imagine that the Father Abbot might be willing to help.

The book was more disturbing than the movie imo because your mind can picture more fucked-up imagery than a movie can provide
There's a lot of slow, unexciting chapters that are largely there to juxtapose the violence and show how empty Bateman's life is. There are some scenes in the book that couldn't be put in the movie as well which you may enjoy.

It often takes you from kinda bored to extremely disgusted in the span of a few pages, and if a book can keep you on your toes like that I'd say it's a good one.

Imma have to hit up some Discworld. Missing some Pratchett, and after the books I finished earlier, it would be nice to have something light without child abuse in it.
