Dandelion Wine is probably the most pretentious and useless book I have ever read. The entire book is just Bradbury's self insert having a mental breakdown due to how "beautiful" summer scenery is.

i wonder if it would be fair to compare paintings like the one in the middle to telegraphs, done sparingly and only with an eye towards conveying information, with the more fleshed out paintings we see from other periods being more like literature
>>
>>23543762
>paintings
That's an illustration in a manuscript. It's hardly a painting. I would assume most were done by the monks writing down the text.

I read it and felt nostalgic like you wouldn't belive. I was born 60 years and half a world away from this books setting, and my childhood still seemed to include half the shit in this book.

Jesus anon, sorry for you. Did you even go outside as a kid?
>>
>>23545785
yep the first part of the book is basically a description of (((their))) integration in western societies and, by extension, (((their))) influence in politics and finance and media

What you don’t want a panel of every scene or passage in the book? For real though I always thought the idea was to convey a feel in a single pic or an inside joke of sorts that only someone who read the book would get

It was about life before, and after, a cyberpunk-driven apocalypse. I certainly didn't expect Oryx going on and on about being sold into sexual slavery as a young child, especially given that it was written by a woman.

It is an entertaining read at least until he breaks out of prison, but it is indeed absolute slop that reads like fanfiction

I still found it enjoyable for what it's worth. The Count is just such a proto-anime character. Like to reveal his true identity in a dramatic confrontation he quickly scoots out a doorway and CHANGES CLOTHES. It's hilarious.

True. Anyone who praises Wittgenstein is a guaranteed midwit.

Not literally but it's antagonist is a personification of evil and has a confrontation with a granny, not a physical battle.

I read the first 3 chapters of Gormenghast. What was I supposed to get out of it? There was an old guy that curates a collection of trinkets that literally no one looks at. There was a really drunken chef berating one of his inferiors. None of it was interesting.
