Barely any sharethreads this year, but that's okay, reading is slow. Opening with

>SURREALIST LIT V1
Collecting works of fiction not limited to surrealism, but extending into some dada, absurdist, or anyhow dreamlike novels and poetry.
epubs with few pdfs - threw in all I had plus whatever I could find from the surreal lit rec chart (thanks to you who made it). Didn't read them all but checked most for at least a semblance of proper formatting.
Mainly in English and French, translations provided when available.

Here's a proper Mason & Dixon (the usual sources being full of messed-up conversions of the same with incongruous line breaks)
>Charles Mason (1728–1786) and Jeremiah Dixon (1733–1779) were the British surveyors best remembered for running the boundary between Pennsylvania and Maryland that we know today as the Mason-Dixon Line. Here is their story as reimagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, major caffeine abuse.

Indeed, and here's Zelazny's
>Lord of Light
"His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god, but then he never claimed not to be a god."

A buddhism-flavored sci-fi novel. There seems to be only one version of this ebook floating around (no official one available), but it's got a ton of small errors and typos. This one is fixed:

>> No.5890924

What do you mean by "the x-ray stuff of Kindle"? azw3 is just the .mobi format introduced by the Kindle Fire. It's retrocompatible so for all intents and purposes it's .mobi

So there's a "X-ray" feature on the Kindle - that's just a seach & display algorithm, which is to be found in the device's software, not in the ebooks. azw3 = mobi and as far as you're concerned that's almost the same as an .epub file.

I've just looked and it goes to chapt 110, which is right. If yours didn't try re-downloading it? Otherwise the number of pages as displayed by an e-reader obviously varies with font size.
As to there being more, the author wrote at least one sequel, "The Flum" which I think ended up published as the Age of Sinatra.

I wouldn't say the Sandman qualifies as surreal, ironically enough it's not even all that oniric... too far on the mythical and mystical side, especially for comics. Moore is also too rational. Some of Morrison's better works would perhaps fit the bill, if they didn't have so much descriptive drug-trip dialog.
But indeed comics are a wholly different subject. If going into euro comics I'd recommend Peeters/Schuiten's Cities of the fantastic... Bilal, too

I just finished reading Everything I Never Told You by Something Ng, and it's just the blandest, most uncreative book I've read in a while.

>J. A. Baker’s extraordinary classic of British nature writingDespite the association of peregrines with the wild, outer reaches of the British Isles, The Peregrine is set on the flat marshes of the Essex coast, where J A Baker spent a long winter looking and writing about the visitors from the uplands – peregrines that spend the winter hunting the huge flocks of pigeons and waders that share the desolate landscape with them.Including original diaries from which The Peregrine was written and its companion volume The Hill of Summer, this is a beautiful compendium of lyrical nature writing at its absolute best.Such luminaries as Richard Mabey, Robert Macfarlane, Ted Hughes and Andrew Motion have cited this as one of the most important books in 20th Century nature writing, and the bestselling author Mark Cocker has provided an introduction on the importance of Baker, his writings and the diaries – creating the essential volume of Baker's writings.

In 1983, Chinese playwright, critic, fiction writer, and painter Gao Xingjian was diagnosed with lung cancer and faced imminent death.But six weeks later, a second examination revealed there was no cancer—he had won "a second reprieve from death." Faced with a repressive cultural environment and the threat of a spell in a prison farm, Gao fled Beijing and began a journey of 15,000 kilometers into the remote mountains and ancient forests of Sichuan in southwest China. The result of this epic voyage of discovery is Soul Mountain.

Bold, lyrical, and prodigious, Soul Moutain probes the human soul with an uncommon directness and candor and delights in the freedom of the imagination to expand the notion of the individual self.

Pretty big book, but it's very interesting. The author is a bit too detailed sometimes (describing all the functions and attributes of some bullshit government entity nobody cares about), but that particular period in history is really interesting.

Another option:

Stephen Greenblatt, The Swerve: How the World Became Modern. Also very interesting, and better written, imo, though not as entertaining as a full-out war like the book above.

Jean Toomer, Cane

>First published in 1923, Jean Toomer’s Cane is an innovative literary work—part drama, part poetry, part fiction—powerfully evoking black life in the South. Rich in imagery, Toomer’s impressionistic, sometimes surrealistic sketches of Southern rural and urban life are permeated by visions of smoke, sugarcane, dusk, and fire; the northern world is pictured as a harsher reality of asphalt streets. This iconic work of American literature is published with a new afterword by Rudolph Byrd of Emory University and Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard University, who provide groundbreaking biographical information on Toomer, place his writing within the context of American modernism and the Harlem Renaissance, and examine his shifting claims about his own race and his pioneering critique of race as a scientific or biological concept.

I just started reading this, and it's surprisingly good. I'm 30% in, and so far it's just random slave stories from the south written in a kind of experimental way, and not really focusing on the racial issues but more on the internal lives of the characters. Very lyrical writing, though not surprising, considering most of his work was poetry. Just a little fragment that cracked me up:

Those silly women arguing feminism. Here’s what I should have said to them. “It should be clear to you women, that the proposition must be stated thus:
Me, horizontally above her.
Action: perfect strokes downward oblique.
Hence, man dominates because of limitation.
Or, so it shall be until women learn their stuff.
