Last book you read that left you like this?
>>
Chevengur
Still have no idea what I was reading
>>
Simulacra and Simulation
>>
>>25289272
The Critique of Pure Reason.
>>
The Legend of the Ten Elemental Masters I guess. Really it was actually more reading the wiki article about the life of the author and the absurd amount of retarded shit that he listed as "being afraid of" more than the book itself but there you go.
>>
>>25289272
The Dictionary
>>
2666 the part about murdered women
look I get it, there's big evil always lurking around while people move on with their day pretending like nothing is happening and you were supposed to feel uncomfortable and all that but there was absolutely no need for hundreds of graphical and accurate murder descriptions to get your point across effectivley
>>
That chapter near the end of The Magic Mountain where ghosts and poltergeist are confirmed real after 600 pages of the most dry down-to-earth prose imaginable. And then it's never brought up again.
>>
>>25289272
Apocalypse culture (in a good way)
>>
>>25289487
that would have made the book a lot more interesting if i made it to that part.
i couldn't finish 2666. I stopped caring about the characters too quickly, as they were all pathetic, boring losers.
>>
>>25289272
probably a Voyage to Arcturas. I just couldn't get over the fact that this character exposed to all these weird and aliens ways of life solved every conflict with murder, and that was just OK.
>>
>>25289272
If schizoposting, Northanger Abbey, Freud and the Invisible Life of Addie Larue had a baby.
>>
>>25289272

Yeah, so what? They are. I've seen some firsthand.

The Babylonian Laws edited with translation and commentary by G.R. Driver & John C. Miles Volume II (OXFORD CLARENDON PRESS)

>§ 127: If a man has caused a finger to be pointed (in accusation) at a high priestess or married lady and has then not proved (what he has said) they shall flog that man before the judges and shave half his head.

>§ 2: If a man has charged a man with sorcery and then has not proved it against him, he who is charged with sorcery shall go to the holy river; he shall leap into the holy river and if the holy river overwhelms him, his accuser shall take and keep his house; if the holy river proves that man clear of the offense and he comes back safe, he who has charged him with sorcery shall be put to death, and he who leapt into the holy river shall take and keep the house of his accuser.
