Will there ever again be another novel that can be so funny whilst remaining so poignantly realistic?

>> No.4990606

Yep

>> No.4990627

Maybe a sequel to Bartleby the Scrivener.

I have never masturbated more times while reading a book than when I read Catch-22. It was funny and dark and that was all broken up my sex sceens with hookers so I would get a boner, put the book down, jerk off, then keep reading.


The only other time a book made me need to jack off was the lesbian rape scene in Norwegian Wood.

The only book Ive ever masturbated to is Ulysses
I dont even know why its just hot. Its made funnier by the preface in the beginning of the book detailing the court's decision to overrule the book's obscenity charges

Speaking of Heller, what does /lit/ think of Something Happened and God Knows? I'm thinking about reading them.

Tried reading Catch-22 at 14, didn't like it. I liked Good As Gold, which I found superior in humor.

I masturbated to Angela's Ashes (only part of the book I enjoyed) and Wild Boys a few times.

They almost made a hardcore porn based on Wild Boys but Burroughs decided against it in the end for some reason ;_;
