>aaaaa I have tons of sex and everyone likes me and I have a stable job with a strong community in an ethnically homogenous country
>i'm le NO LONGER HUMAN
>>
The book was alright, not great, not bad. But I always roll my eyes when the last word or sentence is the title of the book.
>As I drifted away I thought to myself that I am no longer human.
Are you not, you fucking nip faggot? It's almost fascinating how one final fuck-up can completely ruin the interpretation of an otherwise ALRIGHT book.
>>

>and then i realized that this was truly a gravitys rainbow
Turned off the book right there

Felt like that when I got my first 6 fig salary kek

He was molested at a young age and struggles with some kind of autism in a hyper-performative culture. He's also addicted to morphine. When his wife gets raped, he's too mentally ill to even stop her assailant. Maybe you can't sympathize because you also have autism, but most mature readers can understand his suffering.

>>25343092
You're retarded if you think that wasn't a last minute addition because otherwise people would rightfully destroy the retarded book
>>
>>25342984
Getting molested in your childhood fucks you up in unimaginable ways. And you can have it all and still feel empty inside.
>>
>>25342995
>And that's when I knelt down, regarding that big juicy thing with an overpowering mixture of awe and savage need, ready to take it into my mouth; namely, the Moby Dick.
>>
>>25343092
Sounds dull.

>>25342984
Why do 4chuds think homogenous = good? Where I come from is ethnically homogeneous and it’s a putrid dysfunctional shithole and everything sucks and everybody’s miserable.
>>
>he doesn't know book name was supposed to be a brag

You are brown.

nobody thinks homogeneous is great. they think japan is great. homogeneity is inherently neither good nor bad

oy vey I agree rabbi, let's import a billion Indians

>>25343098
The author literally killed himself a week later. There were no last minute additions. Mental illness can hit anyone, and it doesn't care how objectively good your life is. That's the fucking point of the book. That's the fucking point of like a fourth of 20th century literature.

This book is very popular amomg a certain type of college student who haven't yet realised that they can just decide not to be miserable.
>>
>>25342984
>in an ethnically homogenous country
"I wouldn't be a loser if I was surrounded by lookalikes" is one of the funniest chud copes
>>
>>25343224
Yeah don't come to Europe, Ogobogo, we're full
>>
>>25343224
>Why do 4chuds think electricity = good? Where I come from we have electricity but it's still a putrid dysfunctional shithole and everything sucks and everybody's miserable.

>woah woah woah hol up yous be sayin dis some kinda muhfuggin conspiracy against the human race?
Threw that trash right into the fireplace

>>25343603
I’d like to live around people who look like me instead of stinky durka durka people walking around in robes and head garb. If I was dictator I’d deport your faggot ass to somalia, nigger.
>>
>>25343224
it's not that homogeneity automatically makes a country good, but that homogeneity is a prerequisite for goodness
>>
>>25342984
Pretty cool looking back at this book and the time period it released in and realisinf the due was clinically depressed at a time when they didn't know how to treat it
>>
>>25343387
He killed himself and probably manipulated his lover to kill herself as well. The novel just reaks of narcissism.
>>
>>25344194
Basically this.

>>25342995
The Crying of Lot 49 ends with the title name iirc. My first and probably last Pynchon Book though V sounds interesting enough
>>
>>25342984
suicide puts novels into a different category that makes them impossible to judge, especially so the closer the suicide is to publishing
>>
We have this thread once a week. It's kind of funny to anyone who's been here a few years.
>>
>>25347481
Do you have any other similar examples in mind?
>>
>>25342991
Crying of lot 49 doing that was fun icl

Mishima was terrified of dying of old age and staged a highly theatrical suicide to end his life at the peak of his career.
Kawabata fell into depression after Mishima's death and left the gas on
>>
Sex isn't everything in life, pathetic incels, maybe if you had it you'd realize it lmao
