"Literature"? What are you, gay? We'll have none of that nonsense in this thread. Come and talk about stories about cool things for men.
>nuuuuh, but my poetry
I will literally beat you up.

What are your favourite books? Who are your favourite writers? What are you reading now? What do you plan on reading, but have not yet gotten around to?

Prince Of Nothing is the first trilogy and it's a mostly grounded crusades-like Dark Fantasy setting. Although it constantly hints that shit will start going down soon.
It gets philosophical in certain parts, but it doesn't dwell on those themes too long. It prefers to keep a cinematic pace.
I'm not reading it so much out of love for Fantasy, as much as Bakker's prose being really good.

I finally read The martian chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I let it mature on my shelf for years.

I expected more from the book, it's not horrible, but I found it frustrating and several stories had a comedic tone and only a few worked for me in that sense. An entire story in the collection is about niggers building rockets to go to Mars and leave the whites behind. It's a pointless exercise since at the end of the book all the humans return to Earth, It is useless both within the narrative and in the work as a whole, which could have used this space to take one last good look at the Martians.

7/10 at best. Better than many modern science fiction books, but much weaker than other books written during the 50s, 60s and 70s. In fact I've read underrated pulp stories from the 20s that were better.

I read Unz Review, 4thPT/Paideuma/Arktos Journal for pseudugin shit, and the Orthodox Arts Journal, since it's about the only brand of art theory that isn't aesthetically offensive- all of these by RSS feed in a patrician terminal interface, and only when an article is interesting and free. Wish there was more free things to read, but let's be honest writers are always fucking shilling their paywalls.

Oh, and I read Paul Kingsnorth's blog. Usually it's some strange tale of some obscure person from the first millennium AD in Ireland, and sometimes it's paywalled patreon content, but sometimes it's long and free and really good shit about books/writing/art/history/nature/technology. RSS is king again, as you don't have to deal with patreon's shitty interface and know right away whether it's a full piece or for paypiggies only. If Christianity doesn't immediately trigger you into a spastic redditor frenzy, I recommend.

I'm over halfway through the Shards by the queer who wrote American Psycho. The author reads the book himself, which only adds to the awkwardness inherent in the personal nature of autofiction. If you're the type to admire exquisite attention to detail in gay sex scenes, it's not bad, but nothing groundbreaking.

The irony is not lost on me. I just really enjoy this audiobook, it's like a comfort blanket, and I like to keep all the principles fresh in my mind when I am reading. So if I can't read, and if I'm not doing something degenerate or wasting my life, I tend to listen to this.

Of course none of it is necessary if you're reading shit-tier garbage like Shards by the queer who wrote American Psycho, but if you're reading things to challenge yourself, it's very useful.

Fair enough, I've never read it. It sounds horrible, but I guess you're used to it. I don't read a lot of recently written books, so when I hear about things like metafiction and autofiction I make a face like I've just shit my pants and mutter something elitist. When I say "shit-tier garbage," I mean compared to the Divine Comedy. All I do is read Classics, and when I feel nostalgic I read pop fiction books I enjoyed as a kid, like Crichton. But that's about all I have any desire to read. I hate everyone living.

He never relaxes though. He spends an entire chapter describing his fear of the nigger. I got bored about halfway through the book, and I was reading it on the clock at work. I wouldn't suggest this garbage, there is much better literature available like Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

No mature Aryan is able to prof i t by a humiliation; when he forgives it has become part of his life," and so Dick decides not to forgive and not to speak of retribution.
Upon waking, Dick realizes how he has behaved and feels terrible about it-he has lost the good part of himself that he resolved to resurrect after his father's death. He is stubborn, however, and decides not to apologize for his violent actions. Further, Dick is "Aryan"-white-and believes that his race makes him superior to Italian people and therefore exempt from asking for forgiveness.

This is a 4 year old thread, but Quentin Scobie's channel The Book Club was alright. You have to find an archive of it since he went off the deep end once he started balding. His reviews begin with increasingly performative pieces, and some are completely performative. The meat of his reviews was in the descriptions of his videos. He revived the channel, but his reviews since doing so have becoming increasingly esoteric in their performance because he can't cope with balding.

It's one of the only good manga that are blatantly aimed at zoomers. But if you compare it with something aimed at a more mature audience from just a few years earlier like Golden Kamuy - which only preceded the manga adaptation of Goblin Slayer by a couple of years, the difference in writing quality immediately becomes apparent.
