/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/, what's next on your to-read list?
I just made a selection out of the books I had bookmarked (hah), felt like I could use some because I haven't bought any for a while. This should keep me satisfied for quite a while I recon.

I can't find many threads to enjoy nowadays so I usually don't but of course there are some exceptions, hehe. So how've you been? Did anything come of all those music project(s) you had going?

Yeah, it's otherwise in pretty good shape though. Got it for €1 at a flea market, too.

Faust, edition from 1868. Dat golden Gothic lettering.

I think they detailed what kind of pipe he used somewhere in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, but it could be that I remember it wrong and he was talking about someone else's pipe.

Oh dear, I just noticed the folder is about 600MB because they're all .jpg scans. It's from Have You Got It Yet Volume 11, I think you can find it somewhere. I'll upload the text files that are in there since they're pretty small, hold on.

I've got some things on Syd Barrett, I don't think any of them are full books though, most are magazine articles. Interested?

Charles Beaudelaire - Les Fleurs du Mal
Arthur Rimbaud - Poems
would be nice if possible, thanks in advance.

I'm not a big fan of Tolstoy's W-shape, even though it makes him look like a wizard, and Dostoyevsky just emanates authority from his facial hair so I'm gonna go for Fyodor.

Copy parts of old foreign books on Gutenberg, especially German and Latin, draw the most disturbing parts of otherwise innocent pictures, draw a web that suggests connections between major corporations and other stuff (like in the picture).
