Based Summer 2005 Faulkner collection. Those were the first Faulkners I bought and read.

[Anonymous No.19848909]

I will be going to Istanbul for a couple of months soon and these + The Lord of the Rings are what I plan on bringing with me

Is Augustus a good read?

[Anonymous No.19848996]

>>19848564
Based. I got a lot of those Faulkner books lately and although his short stories are alright, the novels are shocking. Youre going to love Sound and the Fury. Blood Meridian has a vivid, twisted voice which is great, and pay attention as there are some repeating similar images in the story often pages apart that reveal alot.
I'll be getting into John Williams next year he didnt make it onto my reading list but Im getting his Library of America novel collection.

[Anonymous No.19849011]

Shameful collection of tbr. It really is a huge problem. Told my girlfriend that I wouldn’t buy a new book until I finished shakespeare, and then it’s a required ratio of reading three to buy one until I work through all of this.

based stack, more or less my taste and what I have in my shelf except I don't really care abou Pynchon at all. I've loved Coin locker babies, will read more ryu too.
>>19848996
I actually already read satf, lia and aild (loved them all), I just bought them again because I like this specific edition better. Will read Absalom next since it supposedly involves Quentin Compson who's probably my favorite fictional character ever. And yeah blood meridian seemed obligatory given that he was supposedly influenced by faulkner a lot, and I also just want to know what the fuzz is all about.
>>19848874
yeah I like the cover art a lot. Found it for 20$ on ebay so I had to grab it. Though I had no idea that it was part of Oprah's book club lol, sounds like she's based.

Yes. I worked as a bookseller a few years ago and accumulated a bunch. I got a new job fairly recently that’s made me much more financially stable, so continuing to buy was my “balling out of control”. It’s better than buying a new car or getting addicted to heroine, but we live in a fairly small space so we don’t have much more room for another shelf or two.

[Anonymous No.19849263]

>>19849258
The girlfriend wasn’t hounding me about it, but merely concerned because it seemed like it was nervous compulsion to lead me to buy. I told her I would start working through it not so much to appease her but to hold myself accountable.

[Anonymous No.19849276]

She gets it though. She works as an editor is pretty literary herself.

I’m already taking up way too much space in this thread, but look:

I can’t get a frontal here. I’d like to, because then other people can talk to me about the books, but I wasn’t really expecting this much direct engagement.

Working from home gets pretty lonely, so I appreciate this. Wish it was a little less adversarial but it is better than nothing.

I hope you enjoy that Faulkner as much as I did anon, possible the best summer I ever had was reading those 4 back to back to back to back. He has such a grasp of the language and of the conventions of the human consciousness it’s an amazing bunch of reads.

I can see the influence by Faulkner where it has a mix of short, punchy words and sentences in some parts and then breathlessly long sentences with intimidating words, but Blood Meridian reads more like Moby Dick in my opinion. It feels mythical, mysterious and dangerous.

First two because I wanted to revisit Gothic and interested in it as a reaction to rationalism. Brothers Karamazov because I read C&P last year and loved it, almost everyone recommended it.
