He’s probably mostly known for inspiring Melville and Whitman, as he’s the father of transcendentalism. Some big themes he writes about is spirituality vs religion, the importance of the individual vs the crowd, and various positive outlooks on life

Started reading Haldeman's The Forever War, after that I'm not sure probably Bubbles and Crashes: The Boom and Bust of Technological Innovation...I like to alternate between reading fiction and non-fiction and the latter seems appropriate with what's coming in the next couple of years.

I don't usually buy physical books but I couldn't find a well-formatted version for kindle. It's a beautiful antique that was printed in 1961. They just don't make books with this quality anymore.

>>20578256
I'm interested in how she does with long form, which is why I grabbed it. She's real good at short stories and her prose style is so unique. The way she uses fantastical, genre narratives but anchors the issues of her stories in human realities is what excites me about the stories more than anything so far, like a story about aging and coming to terms with yourself that just so happens to feature vampires.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 25 02:52:23 2022 No.20578339 >>20578294 It sounds like I need to try her shorter works then. I've only ever read Swamplandia. I'll give Lemon Grove a shot.

I have just read this >>20580489 I posted some excerpts. I like to make threads recommending a book when I have read it and really like it, but they rarely get replies, and probably no one reads the book I mention.

>Here, just here, is the price of individuality. I assume that I made my world out of what life offered, but my innate quality must have drawn it towards me. I fused it all together only half knowing what I did. What felt at moments like the white heat of necessity was much my own doing, and it may have been a wrong-headed effort. I shall never know. No one can enter my world, nor can I enter the world of those I know best; we can pay visits in the entrance hall, and keep our eyes unfocussed. We can exchange gifts. Oh we can do that. We can offer our flowers of humility, appreciation and need, only asking that a meeting ground (that precious place) be kept open.
