Really digging it so far. It's very detailed and beautiful. I'm only like 12 chapters in though and dont know shit about music, so the music theory stuff is going over my head. I usually hate WWII stuff and holocaust stories because, while it was an incredibly awful event, I feel like it is often exploited by authors to sell books on an emotionally manipulative bent.

"AP is overrated and not that good anyway" I am just getting into reading as a hobby, after years of avoiding it. My mother is an avid reader (she finishes about 125-150 books per year) but she mostly reads murder mysteries. My mothers lack of exploration in literature sort of put me off from reading somehow. American Psycho is among one of my favorite movies so i figured it would be a good starting place, so far I am really enjoying it, so much so that I've already ordered a couple of books that people frequently post on /lit/ to get further into this hobby. Thanks for reading my blog anons.

"Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"A Few Good Men" (I don't remember the author. It's a screenplay that I have to read for military college)
"Economics" by Thomas Sowell

I'm also embarrased to say this, but I read fanfiction from time to time depending on if I feel melancholic after 100% a video game or something.

I really, really like Portrait and Crime and Punishment, so I'm just rereading them and annotating them for fun. However, I'm planning on starting "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin as well as a biography on Churchill. I kinda want to pick up the Ender's Game series too. Thoughts?

I'm a 18 year old white dude. I've also read some philosophy here and there as well as some psychology, but it's mostly out of specific interests rather than a general one. Reading about writing techniques is fun too.

Gift of Mr. and Mrs. William L. Richards through the Viola E. Bray Charitable Trust, 1967.29

Andrew Wyeth, son of the well-known illustrator N. C. Wyeth, was born in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, later moving to Maine. Attracted to art from an early age, he was essentially self-taught, learning by observation rather than by formal instruction. His intimate knowledge of these two environments in New England is manifested in his art and his body of work is largely devoted to subjects from Chadds Ford and his home in Maine. He achieved acclaim early in his career; his first solo exhibition of watercolors, in New York in 1937, completely sold out. The Sweep pictures a view with which the artist is well acquainted--a vista from the edge of the Wyeths' Maine property overlooking the road leading to the farm of their neighbor, the James family. This painting is executed with technical virtuosity, especially evident in the bristling needles of the evergreen trees, the texture of the cold porous surface of each stone of the rock wall, and the light falling on the weathered oar (called a sweep) leaning on the wall. The image is typical of Wyeth in its depiction of a silent, still world that is cool and remote in its austerity.

https://youtu.be/etfTkSs8KNs

Interesting Blackwater 100 situation at Pinburgh.

Every ball of Blackwater 100 should start with the player plunging 3 balls. There is then a “skill release” by hitting a second flipper button at the correct time that can earn a non trivial number of points. The game then starts in multiball.

A player in my group stepped up to his ball 2 and plunged his first ball. The ball immediately entered the playfield and upon draining, his turn ended. The player did play the ball. The player had no opportunity to plunge the 2nd or 3rd balls, nor to attempt the skill release.

We called a TD. Ruling was loss of multiball is a minor malfunction, play on. On a normal game, I understand why this is the case. However, on an earlier round player 4 was not given a chance to choose a house in GOT. Bowen ruled that the player was denied a major feature of the game and therefore would be allowed to play a new game separate from players 1-3. I understand that ruling.

It seems to me that the player in Blackwater 100 was denied a major game feature. Even if you disregard the denial of the skill release, the player should have been able to plunge a 2nd and 3rd ball onto the playfield. He was not given the opportunity to so.

Afterwards the player asked Bowen if the ruling would have been different if he trapped up and called for a TD instead of playing the single ball. He was told that the ruling would have been the same.

Thoughts?

GR is hands down the greatest book I've ever had the pleasure of perusing. Only 50 pages in, so I've gotten a kick out of the banana motifs and dog chasing scene where Pointsman enlodges his foot in a toilet, an almost Three Stooges-esque predicament. Pynchon's prose is endearing and just carries you along like the dripping stroke of a paintbrush.

It's the first time I am reading Dostoevsky's work and it is only finally starting to get going. The first parts of the book were a bit of a chore for me for some reason but now I am starting to appreciate them. I hope Crime and Punishment is as good as this one.

Cool picture. But my first thought is, where is her electricity coming from? Who is paying for it? Who chops and splits her firewood? Maybe the cat? I do not see a firearm. What happens when a hungry grîzzly bear, smelling food or perhaps her blood, crashes through the door? This is a child's idea of a house, not an adult's. But as such, it is cute!

Children of Dune, Plato and the Socratic Dialogue, Essential Mathematics for Economic Analysis, Microeconomics and Behavior, Accounting Principles and I dropped a shitty book about English idiom.

I don't read books. African-Caribbean Culture has a rich oral history dating back thousands of years. Books are a tool of the white man to keep those systematically oppressed. For every good book, there are 10000000000 evil ones.

Gender is non-binary bilateral, like a female winged bird. I like to imagine my gender as fluid too. Get over it.

Age can be picked too. I have always seen myself as an old tribal dudette, a shamanness if you will. I tell people I am over 100 if they ask my age (rude thing to ask by the way). It reflects my identity.

Also one of my favorites.
I'm not sure why some people around here say it's shit or dumb, I guess it just left an impression on me that it didn't on them.
I imagine if you've read similar books before that are much longer, then you may find it too simple of a book on absurdism but it's precisely because it got ideas across concisely that I liked it.

Dude just dive in, took me until the end of part 1 to really get into it, but holy shit, I'm almost done now and it might be my new favorite book. It does kind of drag in the middle so around then I'd read it in the background but once everything gets going again it's a really masterfully done book

The Doomed City by the Strugatsky brothers. I disliked the first chapter (a baboon invasion in my serious fiction?) but it have grown on my since, the protagonists journey from a regular convinced communist to a disillusioned oppressor is quite interesting.

I'm also finishing The Histories. Undoubtedly invaluable as a historical document but not that interesting to read as I'm only somewhat interested in the subject.

Finished Brave New World last week, been really on a dystopia "binge", I suppose. Shortly before that I read The Last Wish and admittedly I've really been craving more fantasy and sci-fi books. I'm REALLY interested in Dune. If anybody can recommend me anything (I'm not picky) that'd be appreciated.

Sirius by Olaf Stapledon

>>13243620
Well the title is attention grabbing, but not accurate as to what the book is actually about, since it's just the title of a blog post that the author made ages ago which inspired her to write the book.

The book itself talks mostly about the history of racism in Britain, the way that it works and lives today in British society, and some of the things that white people can often have trouble understanding, like the concept of white privilege or how white feminist spaces can alienate women of colour.

Whether that kind of thing interests you or you hate those kinds of discussions, either way this is a hard read, just because it's an emotional investment to listen to a side of an argument you're not used to hearing (assuming that you're white, which you might not be; in that case, everything in the book might be common knowledge to you.)

>29 M. I read the idiot of the family, an unfinished biography of Flaubert by Jean Paul Sartre. Volume I is 1112 pages, and boring, probably written under influence of various pharm amphetamines, maybe the least studied and appreciated of Sartre works, but i like Flaubert... Borrowed fro my ex gf mother, who is a psychoanalyst. Sometimes posting on /lit/ feels like being a french meme for me.
