Confusion Is Sex
Kobo abe - The Woman in the Dunes. fuckin' claustrophic | | 2 | | Taint
misogynist lust
Stephen King - 11/22/63. Not usually a fan but this was beautiful and great and appeased my need for every piece of media to emulate Back to the Future in some way | | 3 |  | Colin Stetson
All This I Do For Glory
J.G. Ballard - Cocaine Nights. Great combination of transgressive literature and mystery, noir stylings. Ballard excels at conjuring disquietingly refracted universes and this is no exception. | | 4 |  | Valerio Tricoli
Miseri Lares
Mathias Enard - Zone. a single ampheteminic run-on sentence only occasionally punctuated by chapter breaks and a coherent story-in-a-story, it's an impressive avant-garde feat but Enard lets his verbosity and erudition run away with him -- by design, sure, but it still galls. | | 5 |  | Mistress
Hollygrove
Karl Ove Knausgaard - a Man in Love. Kinda boring tbh, especially after the electrifying debut. There's only so much minutiae one can pass y'know. | | 6 |  | Benjamin Clementine
At Least For Now
Clarice Lispector - The apple in the dark. Not vintage Lispector, admittedly, but you wouldn't turn down a 7yo bottle of Ledaig now would you | | 7 |  | The Leisure Society
Alone Aboard The Ark
William Boyd - any Human Heart. Guys, the real character here is... the twentieth century. woah. good fun book tho. | | 8 |  | Hideaki Shimada
Septet//2013
John Kneubuhl - Think of a Garden and Other Plays. Kinda amateurish but how many Samoan-cum-Welsh playwrights do u know huh -- also shines a light on an atrocity buried in NZ history so that's fun. | | 9 |  | arca
Arca
DaILY ROT8TION. anyway. John Steinbeck - Sweet Thursday (re-read). The lesser-known sequel to Cannery Row, which is one of my favourite novels ever, it fails to capture to magic and characterisations of the original but comes achingly close, which is close enough for me. | | 10 |  | Mark Kozelek
Night Talks
Paul auster - 4321. Love getting lost in auster, although reading the same handjob scene four times in near exact prose was a bit much. alas, as often with Paul, great concept lacking in execution :( | |
Maniac!
04.23.17 | get a goodreads acct
| butcherboy
04.23.17 | goodreads[2]
have you read auster's Music of Chance? I agree that he loses steam past page 250 most times.. but that one is fucking fantastic.. | Winesburgohio
04.23.17 | i have one bitch
dude fuck yes he's so good -- have u read no longer human? i'm kind of lapsed when it comes to kafka but The Castle holds up imo | Winesburgohio
04.23.17 | @butcherboy bb i don't know bc i read a bunch in a row and they all kinda blurred but i'll scope it. holy shit The New York Trilogy is good though. i doubt he'll ever replicate it tho god knows he's tried | Winesburgohio
04.23.17 | as a side-note: goodreads is so fucking terrible, i hate the interface, the reviews are either piss-poor emulations of the writer in questions prose or pictures of cats accompanied by 'this book made me feel like THIS', no .5 rankings, just complete anus | butcherboy
04.23.17 | Agreed.. Though give Music a shot.. I'd honestly take it over the trilogy.. The first part where he talks about purposes of objects and coding walks around the city though! Fuck! | dreamgauze
04.23.17 | have you guys read the BIBLE? it's a classic, top 10 novels and it takes all the spots for me, creative plot | butcherboy
04.23.17 | No longer human is better.. But the bible is pretty dandy.. Haha | dreamgauze
04.23.17 | i haven't had the interest to read much lately but i have a couple novels lying around my room, don't know if they're any good but worth giving a shot. the books i like i really like but i haven't read much at all. | hal1ax
04.23.17 | just started Tocqueville's democracy in america. been trying to become more accustom to political philosophy. i haven't read any fiction in a while but i might check a few of these out. | hal1ax
04.23.17 | oh for sure! your other philosophy recs were all so good. although some of derrida's stuff almost blew up my brain :[ | Winesburgohio
04.23.17 | get some Bakunin in ya. if ur looking for more accessible post-structural theory Anti-Oedipus is exceedingly good | hal1ax
04.23.17 | will do man. thxx | butcherboy
04.23.17 | I had to present a two hour seminar on Derrida, disassociation, art intake and objectivism in uni.. THAT blew up my brain.. Taking philo classes because there are pretty girls there makes you subconsciously smart.. | Winesburgohio
04.23.17 | hahaha oh my god | Mort.
04.23.17 | read epicureanism u plebs |
