I've got Satantango, been meaning to read it. Good to know it's not fucking boring like the film.

[Anonymous No.19350003]

I can't remember the specifics but there's a nigger joke in In Search of Lost Time somewhere and it's not all that funny but it gets you with the sheer unexpectedness of it.

The ones that I remember the best are:
Molloy every 5 pages or so.
The Stranger when they're talking about their engagement and he keeps explaining that he'd have done it with anyone else because it doesn't matter or when he says he wasn't calling the police when the woman was being beaten because he didn't like police.
The Trial.
Most of Kharm's short stories from Today I Wrote Nothing.
Satantango when the clerk and typist are breaking their heads to edit Irimiás report that's full of subjectivities to a more official non personal document.

"the boy with the red hunting cap said. —Queers dominate writing, they dominate the theater, they dominate art. Just try to find a gallery where you can show your pictures if you're not a queer, he added, raising a cigarette between paint-encrusted fingers. —What do you think women look so damned foolish for
today? It's because queers design their clothes, queers dictate women's fashions, queers do their hair, queers do all the photography in the fashion magazines. They're purposely making women look more and more idiotic until nobody will want to go to bed with one. It's a conspiracy."

The book is overall pretty tragic, but some parts made me laugh hysterically because they are pretty relateable. Like all the stuff about the aphids. and the scene with the mega aphid

i often laugh like a retard while reading. Not just because the described situation or the writing is funny but because some vaguely associated thought forms in my dummy brain, which makes a sentence or the plot 1000x more funny

>Here's a tip, get a real job you fucking nigger

As for me, the Toothbrush by Jorge Díaz.
The play is about two people who are insane, and in one moment they're talking about meeting secretly in a public place and giving signs to eachother
>I'm gonna wear a purple rose!
>And I'm gonna park it in the forbidden direction!
>what?
>My paraplegic grandfather.

Rabelais is the supreme comedian. Some of the funniest things I have ever read/seen/heard. And full of ineluctable wisdom too

Oblomov, Gravity's Rainbow, Mason & Dixon too
