House of Leaves is great stuff! One of my favourite books. Unfortunately I let a bassist borrow it.

House of Leaves
The Kingdom of Ohio

hoping to star Norwegian Wood, and finish Slaughterhouse-Five. the library only had a copy in their special collections spot, where they take the book out, you sit and read, then leave when you're done. i'm 100 pages in, but that was a few months ago. I'd like to have a copy of it than just read it in a library.

Re-reading "Howl", then onto "Book of Dreams" by Kerouac. I can't find any of my Bukowski books

. I want to read them again!

Almost done with:

Lovecraft had a buncho sketches/ideas he never completed before he died, A.D. inherited his notes/papers and fleshed them out into full on short stories.

They all start/end the same...and have the same general theme (kinda like an unfished set of songs/riffs), but each one feels different.
The ones exploring genetic memory are especially interesting.

Gotta see what Murakami books I haven't read are left at my school library...

That, and The Unbearable Sadness of Lemon Cake.

Generally I would be hurp drep when it came to a "what are you reading" thread but I am trying to change that :joy:

I love it so far but I am taking just little bits and pieces of it at time.

Does it irk anyone else when the cover/title of a novel says "a novel." Like really, no fucking shit it's a novel.

That is all.

I need a book that will crush me. The last book that did this was The Road.

Any recommendations?

They aren't allowed to teach that here.

Whoa. That's fucked up. It is an important work because of, not in spite of, the antisemitism.

how the hell are students supposed to learn and understand anything of cultural history and literature if historical treatises are being read as politically uncorrect because of displacing them contextually? :?:

Good willing idiots making lists of books banned from education should read Ray Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 and take the hint?

ATM my bag carries this around with my journal

Ugly Man by Dennis Cooper did that to me, as did the Road.

Word up on that. I looooooved The Road... I'd get super into it and then think like "oh I was going to go to get some milk but there's no way I'm going outside when the..." and then I'd remember that things are (kind of) ok outside... his writing was that good and I was that drawn into it.

Trying to think of other crushers...

Nothing, sorry. I just perused my bookshelf and there's nothing that does what The Road did to me. A lot of books that I liked more than that, just not what you're looking for.
