That nigga has been on my mind. No cap, I been thinking about that time when I barebacked him raw in a Boca Raton Air BnB. That shit had to be the tightest, blackest, wettest boy pussy I've ever laid pipe into. I swear to God, the most heavenly high is gargling that wonderboy's nuts while going fist deep into his shitter. I had Spotemgottem screaming in the sheets with head too ridiculous to ignore. That nigga frotted my cock until he busted on my mouth, I had to return the favor. That nigga Spotemgottem and I been fucking non-stop ever since, but keep that shit on the DL. He does that shit for free. If you're gonna ask me how to "long" Spotemgottem, I'll be deadass. All you gotta do is ask, be straight up, and get physical real quick. Touch his nuts, get on ya knees, talk your shit. He doesn't play around with no pansy-ass niggas either. He likes his men manly, and his dick thick. Dark skin, 6'5 is the minimum and I ain't talking about height boy.

That nigga Spotemgottem stole my heart and drank my seed.

>>18337960
It's a tough proposition but the spirit is in the right place. The idea to keep is that rating value is subjective and a front for trying to encourage anons to work on expressing themselves. We have to start somewhere and people like talking about themselves and their authority as critics.
>>18338072
Confessions of a Mask and Lady Chatterly's Lover in short succession is an interesting set to compare. These are both sexually charged novels and go wildly different directions with it. You're young; do you feel like these books have informed your sexuality in any way? Did you find yourself relating and empathizing with one situation over the other?
>>18338141
I read The Plague in the last year as well. The circumstances of the novel's plague and lethality of the COVID pandemic is obviously not the same thing. Much of the reading became about comparing and contrasting the interior the characters and their reactions against my own.
I thought very little of it panned out and it kind of became a lecture in stoicism by the end. Did you find what you were looking for reading it?
>>18338162
It's okay, not much to it. I think alienation should be a starting point for the story, not the point of it. As time goes on one reads more stories that go almost exactly like No Longer Human and being merely relatable and pessimistic doesn't carry enough value.

Rocky, but if you like his novels it's great. Texts for nothing is really good, but the occasional "story" in there isn't worth digging deeper into because the reading experience sucks so much balls. 1/3rd of it takes more from you than it gives but if you know beckett you know how he is sometimes.

Pleasantly surprised, if that were the case.
I don't want to veer too much off topic but I'm quite frustrated by the fact that it's so hard to find a place to discuss literature written in my home country. Very hard to find (a group of) people that still read, let alone Dutch classics, in my circles. Most people I run into that DO read don't delve much deeper than Murakami, literature-wise.

Eh, as far as I'm concerned the first half or so is good.More along the lines of the Daodejing, it quickly devolves into the typical esoteric religious bullshit of "self cultivation" and psuedoscience longevity practices.

I only right 4 books lately but here they are.

The Iliad. I somehow never read it before. It was good.

Infinite Jest. It went on way too fucking long. But I knew that going in so that's my fault. It's unique but I think the only reason people talk about it so much is because of it's absurdly long length. It has some interesting ideas. I am glad I am done.

Call of the Crocodile. Really good. One of the best executions of a twist I've seen. Has similar elements explored in Charlie Kaufman works.

The Grapes of Wrath. Boring! I'm angry just thinking about this book. How the fuck is this considered to be a classic? I'm genuinely upset that I've wasted time reading this. Drags on at a snails pace.

Yeah I wasn't the biggest fan. The foreshadowing was a bit heavy-handed and the conversational mini-chapters about Jake's death were pretty gimmicky. Not too bad though for a quick popcorn read.

>>18340975
Yeah, at least it was a quick read (I read it in one sitting). The movie is much better if you have yet to check it out (the twist isn't gimmicky or even obvious...the mini-chapters are totally omitted).

How was Ham on Rye? I read Factotum and thought it was meh.

For Hemingway, start with his short stories (that's what I did). If you liked Murakami, I like his short stories a lot more than his novels (After the Quake was good). I'm not a fan of his magical realism stuff. (Or you can skip him, you've already read his best novel, and read Mishima instead).

I enjoyed Ham on Rye. The prose was barebones, but it made sense given the tone and the narrative. It was a solid coming of age and between the brawling and alcoholic degeneracy, Bukowski relays some pretty memorable insights about growing up as an outsider from a poverty-stricken, abusive home- drenched in his signature cynicism of course.

I'll def check out Hemingway's shorter stuff, and Confessions of a Mask has been on my shortlist for a while

>Please be honest, do you like the Rilke? Could you comment a bit on your experience with it?
Yes I think Rilke is amazing, I have read Duino Elegies before but I didn't know german too well then, and I am better now. I'm reading it side by side in English and German and it's just making me want to read more of his stuff since the only other I have read is Letters to a Poet.
>>18339402
>havent even heard of half of these
I'm going to assume you are talking about Ondaatje (In the Skin of a Lion). It's a great book, like Terrence Malick on paper, you should give it a try. The Nabokov is not my favorite of his, nor is it even a standout compared to his other lesser read stuff, like Pale Fire and the Gift. And if you don't know Rilke or Yourcenar, I feel bad for you son.

The last book I finished was Call of the Arcade. Most jaw droppingly strange story I've read in a long time. That said it I highly recommend it. I can't really think of anything to compare it to. Unique and absolute madness. Before that I read through Confessions of a Mask. I liked it a lot. First Mishima book I've read. But it's been on my backlog for a while. I think that's almost all I've read this year unless you could magazines and manga. I was on a manga binge before that.

>>18339521
It was my first dillillo too. It was... okay. There were some very salient bits (the barn, eating in the car, the evacuation) but over all the critiques the novel provides are a little too straight forward and dated for me to care. Hitler studies would have been a riot before the internet took off. Atheist nuns? Ha! But it feels so dated now that all the bits that hold the rest of the book together are just going through the motions of a joke that stopped being funny on page two. I didn’t like any of the characters enough to care, even though it seems they were purposely stupid and un likable. Which would be fine but the fact that the only thing close to a plot is cuck revenge I care even less. Again, I bet it was awesome back then. Wow, death. So edgy. Idk. Maybe I shouldn’t have read infinite jest first.

I'm going to list my five last genre fiction books since people are more likely to read them.

Creation - Gore Vidal 2.5/5. I really like the premise. It's the life story of a Persian who went from China to Greece during the reigns of Darius and Xerxes. Describes ancient Greek, Persian, Hindu, and Chinese thought and culture. But it's really long and quite slow in some places. It gets bogged down in trying to include every last little event from the ancient Greek histories in and feels like call backs. Good but flawed.

Dark Age - Books 5 of Red Rising. 5/5. This is a series that started out being edited for the YA market and then switched in book 2 for adults. It's an implausible, somewhat silly premise of a solar system ruled by Greece/Rome worshipping super humans who live in a dystopian color system. However, the narrative has constant twists, real surprises and cool settings. For what it is, a fast paced action book, the series is great, although Book I starts a bit slow and Book 4 was slower.

The Girl With All the Gifts - Zombie story retelling of Pandora's box. Premise is the main character is a sentient zombie girl in a zombie school. Well delivered and well written, 4.5/5.

Neuropath - R. Scott Bakker s first novel, his attempt to turn his Blind Brain Theory into a horror book. Excellent ideas, you can see the philosophy PhD coming through. Bare bones story and writing compared to The Darkness That Comes Before. 4/5, but really unique as a horror thriller with depth, just not written great.

Prince of Thorns - fantasy book about a raping murdering teenager who wants to be king. It's engaging enough once you get into it if you don't mind grim dark and extreme violence. 2.5/5 since most people will be turned off by the violence and it is nothing special.

I read Pound’s cantos by looking up essays online for help with the untranslated Greek, Latin, Italian, Mandarin, French and Provençal.
I originally intended to read the whole thing this year but after two weeks of two cantos per day, I decided to do it in more manageable pieces.
They’re pretty dense. Not just the untranslated languages also the cultural and historical allusions. And the autobiographical references. Fortunately there is a lot of free help on the internet

Snow Country was solid. I really liked the depth of characterization Kawabata was able to get across while keeping everything sparse.

No one asked, but Exquisite Corpse was actually good. It was much better written than I expected (and extremely graphic without coming off as overly indulgent). I'm not a fan of pulpy horror, I was trying to go outside my interests, but it was head-and-shoulders above shit like Clive Barker.

His philosophy is really interesting, although I'm sure most of it goes over my head. My primary interest lies in metaphysics and ethics and Platos dialogues have posed some excellent food for thought in that regard.

Just finished the Symposium and it has quickly become one of my favourite dialogues. Especially after reading Allen Bloom and Seth Bernadette's excellent commentaries on it, which I highly recommend.

Im gonna read Philebus and Timaeus soon and after that I was planning on tackling Aristotle. Im really curious what about reading Aristotle made you less enthusiastic about Plato.
If you have a recommendation for a newbie to start with reading Aristotle,I would greatly appreciate that. Cheers anon!

> Harassment Architecture
It was just okay. A bit over rated. It had it's moments but is kind of a slog to get through. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mood.

>Call of the Crocodile
One of the craziest things I have ever read and has a really original plot twist that needs to be read to be believed. I finally understand the why this board talks about it so much.

>The Martian
Ugh. Why do norimies eat this book up? I don't understand the appeal. I've read worse but some chapters in this were painful to read.

>American Psycho
Not quite as weird as Crocodile but a really good book. I've seen the movie before so I already knew the general premise. Had some parts in it that I would have liked to see in the movie. Overall a good read. Bret Easton Ellis is a talented writer and I can see why this story was adapted into a movie.

Aristotle just seemed more materialistic and focused with observable phenomena, whereas Plato does a lot of interpolations and extrapolation leading to big, unverifiable conclusions. Aristotle has his share of misconceptions and wild conclusions too, but he at least works out his explanation with a logical process versus Plato's dialectical route. Anyways, I didn't read any commentaries so I'm sure a lot of it went over my head too, I just dived straight in and read the complete works of Aristotle collected by Barnes.

The topic is a lot of fun, Egypt is, if not more interesting than the Greeks in certain fashions. They were much better architects and there gods seem to be "purer" and less human. This list helped alot, but it is kind of redundant and some of the books are literally the same content with slight variations in selections and I thought the choice in history text (Oxford) was poor. Egyptian Mythology is pretty kino though, learned a lot from that book. Writings was good but I think there is a larger anthology called Ancient Egyptian Literature on libgen which seems to be the best (bout 800 pages). Though if you what to learn more about the secrets of Egypt you'll have to learn elsewhere but it was a good introduction.

Okay I'm gonna go off the top of my head:
Member of the Ogdoad, 8 primordial deities worshipped in Hermopolis, primordial darkness, primordial waters, etc.. Well there were 4, but each had a counterpart of the opposite gender. The males were portrayed as frogs, Amun was also a member of this grouping. By the time the Pyramid Text were created, some of the oldest religious text in the world at the start of Egyptian history they were already becoming unknown and obscure, thus they are quite ancient. Kek is the god of primordial darkness, and is known as the "light bringer" because light came out of the darkness. Might also have to do with how frogs were associated with Ra, as when the Sun rose in Egypt frogs would croak in the morning. It may be coincidence (though I am sure it is not), divine intervention or most likely a globalist psyop created through chaos magick to redirect energy from right wing movements. Not that Kek is an evil god, just that our enemies might be using the energy people put into him against the.

That shit had to be the tightest, blackest, wettest boy pussy I've ever laid pipe into. I swear to God, the most heavenly high is gargling that wonderboy's nuts while going fist deep into his shitter. I had Spotemgottem screaming in the sheets with head too ridiculous to ignore. That nigga frotted my cock until he busted on my mouth, I had to return the favor. That nigga Spotemgottem and I been fucking non-stop ever since, but keep that shit on the DL. He does that shit for free. If you're gonna ask me how to "long" Spotemgottem, I'll be deadass. All you gotta do is ask, be straight up, and get physical real quick. Touch his nuts, get on ya knees, talk your shit. He doesn't play around with no pansy-ass niggas either. He likes his men manly, and his dick thick. Dark skin, 6'5 is the minimum and I ain't talking about height boy.
