These sadden me. Byron sounds like some Marquis De Sade mad bants lad but because of his memoirs destroyed which supposedly would have ruined his reputation, we'll never know. I don't even know what it could've been, people back then liked all kinds of mad shit and not an eyelid is batted over it.

I know that feel. Makes dying feel a lot more comforting.

> tfw you accidentally tear a page

> tfw no modernist epic classic focusing on the perils of mining in the early 1900s, the importance and societal reliance on coal, the despair of loss and madness of isolation, the lack of ability to return to conventional society, an unusual need to return back down to the mines, later challenged by mines closing down for being too unsafe

OP you don't realise how much I want this now

This actually happened to me.

What's your favourite book you've read this year so far?

I read both Don Quixote (a genuine joy and pleasure until he dies, then it was heartbreaking, especially Sancho's final words to Don Quixote, expressing how he should get out of bed and they should go on adventures as shepherds and Moby Dick and now I don't know how I can exist anymore.

Please, /lit/. Share your tales of woe regarding encounters with plebs, libraries, book stores, etc. I am hungry for bad times.
