Wind in the Willows is a very good book, and you are very wrong and possibly a weasel.

Not this. This anon is drawn to shit and after posting ten posts about Hitler because he simply can't help himself he wonders why nobody in the thread he's bumping seems to be recommending good books and why he keeps seeing Hitler shit.

yesterday I was recommended "Un Homme qui dort" and eventhough I only got to read it for some 30 minutes today in the library, I will get it for myself on tuesday and I am quite convinced it is very close to the book i am looking for.
Make your own threads perhaps, and the recommendations will come.

I've noticed that as well, thankfully I have a healthy backlog so I don't need recommendations at the moment. For you anon, I will recommend The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn if you are a burger. If you are a non burger then I will recommend Billy Budd, Sailor

I’ve been trying to shill Paul Bowles on here for a while now, who was unequivocally in the top 5 American writers of the 20th century if not all time. Nobody’s really taken yet but if anyone here does - read the short stories, you won’t regret it.
