stop right there and tell me what literature you read today
>>24942270My own short story draft
Nothing yet, but will continue Master and Maragrita later. I'm really enjoying it so far, the Devil and its adventures. Some vampires showed up I guess.
>>24942270I'm illiterate man I don't even belong here I don't know what I'm doing here I could be dead tomorrow
>>24942270Read multiple chapters of The Count of Monte Cristo today attempting to finish it before Christmas
I haven't read any literature today. I read a dinner speech written by a presbyterian reverend at some time in the 1830s or 40s.
>>2494227050 pages of Frost by Thomas Bernhard. And I hope to read a few more, so I can finish it tomorrow. Then I can start simple shit like Annihilation by Houellebecq when I return to my place of residence in the city of decadence.
>>24942270I read a few chapters of 1st Corinthians and will likely reread Romans 1-8 after an hour of playing a visual novel
Don Quixote, 40 pages today, I'm at the point where Sancho leaves to govern the island gifted to him by the Duke, meanwhile Don Quixote had a fierce battle with a feline (all schemed up as a joke by the Duke and the Duchess) that left his face wounded.This shit is hilarious, didn't think I would enjoy reading something so much giggling like a bitch when dumb stuff like this happens.
>>24942270"The War of the End of the World" by Mario Vargas Llosa and "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac.
Polish fantasy
>>24942270A few chapters of Stendhal's Red and Black, and an excerpt, En Francis, from La princesse de Clèves. I've got nothing going on today so I'm probably going to read Red and Black for hours in between doing chores. I feel depressed.
>>24942394>En Francis
>>24942270
I started The Castle recently.not sure if i'm that into Kafka yet. I remember someone here saying with a lot of his stuff it's almost as if there's two ways of reading it, one seriously and one as if it's all a comical farce
>>24942270Started on books 9-15 of Ovid's Metamorphoses, also finished The Gate by Soseki earlierGet off my case
There's more readers here than I initially thought, but there's a self-selection bias towards this thread. The never-reader shitposters obviously aren't going to enter a thread asking them if they've been reading.I myself have been reading "The Body Keeps the Score" because of that one thread on it, I've also been re-reading "An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding" as I attempt to re-approach the post-Enlightenment western philosophical canon.>>24942464Kafka supposedly wrote all his works to be humorous and was alleged to have kept up his neighbors at night laughing out loud at the absurd situations he was writing while clacking on his typewriter. He would then read those stories aloud to his friends to entertain them. Yet still, many of the absurd situations he wrote are just downright unpleasant or horrid to be in with little humor to be found outside of the absurdity itself. I think the appropriate way to read his works is as they were some form of dark humor, or a use of humor as a coping mechanism. Kafka himself was a tortured soul and even if he probably wouldn't have admitted it, his works are strongly psychological.
Ada or ArdorJust started. First three chapters were notoriously confusing but it set up a lot of threads I’m looking forward to finding out where they go. The next two chapters were much easier to understand. I’m looking forward to reading it over the next couple weeks.
>>24942454kek, je suis un retard

>>24942270The Sonadandasutta of the Pali Canon
>>24942374i'm also reading it through for the first time - probably about 50 pages ahead of you. i thought a lot of the duke/duchess stuff was too cruel; it makes me feel bad for don quixote. governor panza is very funny though. you're in for a treat
Nightrunner series from Lynn Flewelling. Specifically, Book 7: Shards of Time.
Today I read the first couple chapters of Charles Bukowski's Hollywood. I have been reading through all of his books and have been having a lot of fun.
>>24942270I'm currently reading Making It With Death by Nick Land. It's absolutely brilliant and challenges any notion of discontinuity between the Young and Modern Land (even if he himself insists on a difference between the two).
>>24942270Finished another book today.It was a memoir of a local reverend and the final pages were the final words he spoke to his communicants at a dinner.
baron in the trees, finished today. Next up, my name is red or love in the times of cholera, which one should I pick?Baron in the trees was a very joful read and a great book would really recomend to anyone that wants to read Calvino.
The Myth of the Machine volume 2 by Lewis Mumford. He is a very smart man...
Max Jacob's Le Cornet à Dés
>>24942270Reading the Bible! Specifically, getting into the New Testament. Got done with a course on the Old Testament and I thought I might as well push through and read it to the end.>>24944568Interesting! I really enjoyed Invisible Cities, so I might check out Baron in the Trees if it comes recommended. I'm planning on getting into One Hundred Years of Solitude next, so I'm voting Love in the Times of Cholera. ;D
>>24944426I didn't like all the beating Hank got in Ham On Rye at the hands of his father. I preferred Post Office. I started Factotum at some point but didn't get very far.
Actually Moby Dick. I am finally going to read this thing.
>>24942270Today I've read the Upanishads
Volume 12 of In/Spectre.
>>24942270Color Out of Space by HP Lovecraft
About finished with pic related. Conan, Fafhrd and the Grey Gouser or Thongor next?
>>24942270[Ikemen Teikoku(Remu)] The Woman who Cums just from being touched — That Old Hag Senior at Work [English] [ArtyB][Digital]
>>24942270currently reading The book of the new sun (200pages in a book that has the first two books of the series ^_^)
>>24945265I might recommend Conan. Fafhrd is only made more enjoyable if you read it after more "traditional" Sword & Sorcery like Conan.
>>24945288the tor essentials edition? thoughts? i was thinking of nabbing a copy for christmas
>>2494529325th birthday library collection (fantasy & sf), i found it in some charity store.I've quite enjoyed it personally, one or two chapters felt a bit of a drag but overall its been quite good I'm quite pleased with the later parts when things start moving along a bit more :>

>>24942270I watched half of Troy (2004)
>>24942270Sadly, Pornfeels like it was half written for me but the other half for someone with both feet engulfed within porn addiction. interesting read. questioning my own thought processes. perheps one of the authors barbs will deliver a fatal blow to me further in. pain must flow.
the emperor's tomb by joseph roth
>>24942270Gonna finish Scaramouche today. Really fun read. I recommend it if you want some fun adventure set during the French Revolution. I have no idea what I am reading next.
>>24942270I'm watching asmongold's recent stream vod on 2x speed, it's basically reading a book right? Same thing?
Yesterday I read the same books as the day before that, and today I plan to continue reading the same books again.
