Try picturing scenes in your head moving about as you write and keep a note pad by you at all times.

Thoughts?

I've been enjoying it so far. Very sincere and witty analysis of WWI Europe and Western Democratic society.

I read it.
It was good but Houellebecq is better. Celine is so cynical that it comes off as parody and performative.

>Celine is so cynical that it comes off as parody and performative.
Isnt that just most french literature?
I can remember even the introductory books in high-school being snide and bitter with overly cynical MCs
I legitimately cannot think of a french book that ISNT cynical off the top of my head

Any of you boys like audio dramas? (I know it's not a book, but where the fuck else am I going to discuss this incredibly niche form of entertainment?)

I been listening to the BBC's Dostoevsky adaptations lately, because I know I'm never going to get around to reading all of that stuff.

They're on internet archive, if you're curious.

Audio dramas are cool. There's one for Neuromancer up on youtube. And the ones they did for old time radio shows are kino. I reccommend Suspense.

The Neuromancer one is good. Solaris is good too. I've never listened to it properly but 80's Lord of the Rings seems quality.

No, people who brags about "reading" 8 books per month always end up being retarded fuckers trying to look like genius by listening audibooks while shitting and watching their wifes's son play soccer.

Reading Blood Meridian atm.
I read The Sandman by Lars Kepler in the two first days of the month.
Both have a brutal difference of prose.

I read Blood Meridian last year, and I'm reading Book of the New Sun now, because I'm a complete fucking meme lord, I guess.
Maybe I'll read Infinite Jest next.

Read Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep recently and really enjoyed it, gotta say though it nearly faceplanted by trying to be too deep near the end but recovered just in time.

Do you have a telegram or discord group so we can talk about books and whatever? Am leaving the site for good and wont be posting here again after next Sunday.
Today I got "Now Wait for Last Year" by Philip K Dick, I haven't read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" yet, mostly his short stories, "Ubik", "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" and I own Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said but I haven't read that last one. I was always afraid that it would be one of the rare cases where I would prefer the film over the book and that would hurt my experience.
Blood Meridian is good so far, it's not the first time I've read something written by Cormac McCarthy, but my previous experience with his works didn't please me very much.
For years now people told me to read Book of the New Sun, but it's way back on my list at the moment.

I've been overthinking this recently; why read translated fiction and poetry? What is the value in reading something that isn't in the author's own language/voice? Can poetry even truly be translated? If not, wouldn't that carry over into fiction as a whole, since sound, flow, word choice, wordplay, and cultural/linguistic implications are so important to the experience and meaning of a story? Am I just having some sort of midwit short circuit here?

Neuromancer is one of those books that's quite overrated. Isn't trash, but it's far from really being a great book.

What was up with his fixation on foreheads? A Tale of Two Cities alone has like a hundred references to the foreheads various people; male and female, young and old, rich and poor. Was it a fetish?

A person's forehead shows his character, status, age, and health.

I have a big forehead because I'm a MED. Even Lovecraft being an angloid believed that Greeks/Romans having large foreheads were a divine sign of superior intelligence and good ethics.
