Henry Green is very good. Loving is very charming and funny. Green seems to he an oft overlooked yet extremely talented modernist.

I got these 3 as my last purchase. The C.S Lewis one is "Fern-Seed and Elephants and Other Essays on Christianity" and the Goethe one is "The sorrows of young Werther". The neko neko thing is self explanatory.

lmfao i went in expecting to scoff at marx, then saw it's a 3 vol and prepared myself to ultra-scoff at "lmao this idiot thinks he's going to read all 3 vols of capital," then saw that it's literally theories of surplus value which he probably got at a fucking yard sale or something and my entire being became suffused with scoffing, i am so scoffused i can't even scoff because it would destroy my physical vessel

>oh yeah. just getting some light reading in. hm? my books? oh, yea you could say im into math... you know... fractions... circles. calculus? heh you know it. anyway this weekend imma dip into Complex Manifolds Without Potential Theory With an Appendix on the Geometry of Characteristic Classes By Shiing-shen Chern · 2013

Found these two at the thrift store but I probably won't read them for awhile because I'm reading Gormenghast and Void Star atm. I was very surprised to find Schrodingers Cat at a thrift shop. I got the book of fairy tales because I like John Bauer's art and I'm trying to improve at watercolor myself.

History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, then as a farce. All these zoomerfags with their unnatural curly hair are the epitome of consumption gone wrong under a neoliberal regime. Their liking of marxism/socialism and 'hatred' for neoliberal capitalism is nothing more than a projection of the disdain they have for their parents on whom they depend and their love for independence that they're never going to realistically achieve in this society.

Is this the best choice for my first Vollmann?

yeah it's pretty good choice, lengthy but of his novels it's the best to read first other than the short story collection

Found out my local library and I "lost" it. Have to pay a small fee or whatever but haven't checked how much it is yet.

Did this with the blessing of a librarian friend. He said they cull thousands of books every year and I live in a rural area so it probably never got checked out anyway
