The literature thread📚

Finished Ishiguro‘s A Pale View Of The Hills today. Left me wondering what the point is, it made me feel deeply unsatisfied.

My goal is to finish Infinite Jest before year‘s end.

Never heard of him to be honest. He only has a couple of books translated in my language Dutch. Do you think it is worth checking his work out tho?

Never Let Me Go and The Remains Of The Day are absolute classics to me personally. They just sucked me in right from the first chapter.

Read them in English !

Might do that Never read literature in English tho , not sure why. Because my English is fine, but I prefer to read in my native language I guess.

Watch the movie too for real feels

Watching tonight

Wait which book did you mean ? Pale View Of Hills hasnt been adapted

If you want to get into Russian Literature, it can be difficult to know where to start. Personally i'd recommend reading Tsjechow's short stories first. If you like that you could go and read The Death of Ivan Ilyichh by Tolstoy. That book is personally my favourite.

Borges GOAT

The Alchemist

Yes

Reading Agapē Agape.

have never fully read a book in my life, and this is not a brag.

I deadass can't sit and read a book, my mind wanders easily, if it makes sense tho, I have read like 500+ comics tho.

Lots of people get short attention spans because they're used to the instant gratification of the internet or television.

Try to spend a few hours every day with no internet or technology to get things done. You'll get used to it and be able to appreciate stuff like reading more.

Reading takes more work but the gratification provided is bigger than just using a forum online.

Shogun soon

i know, the gratification thing 100%, the thing is, im not internet needy, maybe this seems hypocritical cause after all im on a forum, but I don't really use the internet for tabloids and for s*** like that, i might get stuck beatmaking for 2-3 days, and i might just be stuck on that and not use internet like that but I get you,

ig, snapchat and all that blocks your attention, thirsting for that notification

I'm pulling up to Noname's book club meeting on Saturday to discuss the readings for the month of October. Honestly, leisurely readings are lit.

I‘ve had my copy of Infinite Jest for nearly a year now. This book is my downfall

Goal is to finish this Christmas

realest post on site yet

ha in English we spell his name Chekhov. I was like 'damn this man about to put me on' but just ol Anton

hey book fam

Figured I’d ask here as it’s as good of a place as any: does anyone know of any books like William Gibson’s blue ant trilogy? Like, technothrillers about the death of futurism in contemporary times?
