Story of the Eye

>>16089779
That's not a couple, he's just trying to eat her.

>>16089767
That's rape.

Damn it, should've picked a less distracting pic to post.
Please recommend books guys.

>>16089795
I imagine him laughing to himself like how japanese people laugh in that deep voice.

>>16089814
It's okay bro, many poor op's have seen their threads derailed to an interesting pic. Godspeed that your thread gets back on track, I know these types, and it will.

Spring Snow is pretty comfy.
Why do you want a book with such themes, if I may ask?

>met this sweet, funny girl
>our chemistry is off the walls
>we went out 5 times
>just sitting outside, talking
>6 hours pass like minutes
>last time we met things got really intense, almost fucked in the car
>her hand was on my leg the entire ride home, we talked and laughed
>dropped her off, she kissed me like 10 times
>drove home and went to sleep
>woke up 7 hours later to a message saying she can't do this
>too afraid to open up to me, saying it will end badly if she ever does
I do understand her as I'm also fucked in the head, but the night before was so great. I don't think I ever enjoyed so much from someone's presence. Nothing spicy.

Thanks for the rec but I don't like Mishima.
Any more suggestions?

So what happened later
Don't tell me you never spoke to her again because I'll find you and kill you

is hand beside the head a good move? can't tell if it's based or cringe desu

>>16091150
It happened yesterday. Of course we talked, she said that I'm a little light in the dark that is her life and she's afraid to lose me so she'd rather keep things as they are. I assured her that it's okay, that she can take her time to sort our her feelings and that I'm here if she wants to talk. I have a feeling it's not over but for now I'd like some books to accompany me during this time.

Try J.P. Donleavy

>>16091197
Give her time. Don´t be a an aspie like most guys.
Give her time. If it really meant to be, it will happen down the road.

$100 she's a used goods roastie

>>16091730
>used goods
>roastie

I don’t like whores, but I also don’t like unrelentingly cynical faggots who are so unloved that they assume that the only way a guy could get a girl is if she’s a whore.

>>16091804
I know. He's being excessively redundant.

>>16091804
It's pretty cool that you like inserting your penis into a vagina that has absorbed other men's genetic matter. Very progressive. But why not cut out the middlewoman?

>>16091197
You absolute beta. If you really want her you have to go after her

>>16089767
For Whom the Bell Tolls

>>16091197
Why are girls like this

>>16091197
you did the right thing by not getting pushy like lots of guys would
she might be afraid you'll dump her after sex, which is a common worry for girls

>>16089767
Sound of waves (confy romantic books) or Confession of a mask (non-conventional) both by Mishima.

>>16089767
The Fault in Our Stars

>>16089767
Crunchy

>>16093820
I know she wasn't playing any games when she said she needs some space. I don't think I'm a beta (whatever that means) because of that.
>>16095349
Read this one before
>>16095365
Some are, some aren't
>>16095952
Could be. My libido is taking a nap since I'm started SNRIs so sex isn't really a big deal. I really like her anyway.
>>16096081
Not a fan of Mishima but I'll try these. Thank you.
>>16096096
Read this when I was a teenager. It's a great YA adult novel in my opinion.
>>16096100
Bet she is

>>16096169
I know it's a great YA novel, I liked it when I read it. Comfy and melancholy is exactly how I would describe it.

"The Magus" John Fowles
"Remains of the Day" Kazuo Ishiguro
"The Beast in the Jungle" Henry James (it's a short novella)
"Froth on the Daydream" Boris Vian

>>16091197
You blew it. This was a test. You had a thing going and now you lost her
>I assured her that it's okay, that she can take her time to sort our her feelings and that I'm here if she wants to talk
That's BETA SHIT
Girls don't like that
She wanted you to push forward and be a fucking man
I guarantee you'll never see her again

>>16089767
Lolita isn't a romance and the critics who say it is are retards.
Anyway, my recommendation is the novelization of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, because I had a crush on Natalie Portman and I self-inserted into Anakin.

>>16096190
I enjoyed it so much I read it twice. The author gets some shit around here but he's good at what he does.
>>16096194
>"The Magus" John Fowles
Oh good, this is gathering dust on my bookshelf. Time to open it up.
>>16096236
In other cases I'd agree with you but this time I know it's definitely not a test.
>I guarantee you'll never see her again
That would suck
>>16096259
>Lolita isn't a romance
If I wouldn't mention it someone would recommend it. It is a little romantic though.

/lit/ is full of pseuds. Don't know what more one can reasonably except from a fucking YA. They just have to shit on a book that becomes remotely popular in the mainstream. One mf was saying ASOIAF is a "light read", pseuds, the whole lotta dem.

>>16091197
I don't understand how some men have so little respect for themselves that they would happily take the position of an emotional tampon for roastie women. When women say shit like this it 100% means that they have gotten pump and dumped several times and are only now realising it that they have nothing to offer but a hole. Women like this make terrible partners and worse mothers. She would never have any semblance of respect for you since these dreams of a "white knight" only start to come after their realise they have been debauched. Go read "The Dead" by Joyce and stop wasting your time with random whores.
