Last book I finished was Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal. Protagonist is basically a better looking George anyway. Probably would’ve ended up fucking the yak though.

not much i think, he seems just as autistic as the white noise protag

>The Fountainhead
>he gets expelled from the architecture school not for being too daring, but for being an idiot who can't even copy traditional designs
>gets evicted by Keating's mom after he's caught masturbating in the bathroom
>decides to risk it all, moves to New York, and shows his drawings to Cameron, who throws a stapler at him and dismisses him instantly
>falls down the stairs and dies

George Costanza as Socrates defending greed in Hipparchus

Costanza would make a great Socrates actually. Maybe he wouldn't have the stones for the trial/ suicide dialogues but the aporia ones at least.

>The Fisherman
Uh, he's the one who got his wife killed, doesn't grieve, doesn't go fishing, becomes vice-president of IBM through some weird hijinks and never meets the cosmic horrors.

>>21639972
It's funny because defending greed is well within his character and also he is very quizzical and always prodding people like Socrates was.

>tropic of cancer
Apart from all the sex it genuinely seems very fitting for george

There was an episode revolving around this book specifically

They probably refuse to take him along.
Alternately he gets eaten by a pterodactyl

>>21640231
Funny because Newman is also there

>>21640142
So it would become a realistic portrayal of Objectivism in practice

>>21639972
he throws terrible parties

Great Gaysby?

George would not get very far.

The last book I read was American gods. If George was Shadow it would have been much shorter. He either would have got the shit kicked out of him so hard he’s quit, or he’d be so annoying in his constant questioning of what’s going on Oden would have fired him.
>w-what do you mean I have to drink the mead? I hate mead! Mead gives me gas, it’s all honey based. What do I look like, someone who drinks mead?
>my nana told me gods were real, but she had dementia and thought her husband was an alien, but she’d forget every time and he wore these tourist shirts from New Mexico and so she just got riled up every morning. It was awful.
>there is no way you are tying me to a tree, Jerry. no way! I’m allergic to trees. Me and trees don’t get along. I don’t even own a dog because they pee on trees and I don’t want to get that close. No trees for me. I don’t even like breathing oxygen. Not doin it. No way.
>I’m not robbing a bank, Jerry. That’s illegal!

>>21639972
>Beauty? Heh, those hoity toity paintings at the met? Those aren't beauty! Now a pair of sweats and some sneakers now that's beauty?
>You really think a pair of sweats and sneakers are beautiful George? I may have some disagreement with your assertion.
>No Jerry not the sweats and sneakers. The wearing of the sweats and sneakers now THAT is what is beautiful. The experience!

>>21639972
>book of Job
>nothing is different

>>21640524
lmfao

>>21639972
Twilight of the Idols. George Costanza is now the guy who said
>Not to perpetrate cowardice against one’s own acts! Not to leave them in the lurch afterward! The bite of conscience is indecent.
This completely changes George's life.

>>21640148
Costanza as Socrates would actually be fantastic because both scarcely believe anything they say. They're walking contradictions constantly embroiling themselves in thought experiments. They're hypocrites, and yet they're noble for it.

>>21640642
lmfao costanza as nietszche is even funnier than him as socrates

>>21639972
I last read Henry Miller. George as Henry would never have left New York and written any of his books. Instead he would hang around an older version of Seinfeld then maybe get drafted and die alone.

>>21639972
Surprisingly little changes

>>21639972
>The Trial
ohhh this just got interesting. would read and request the series adaption.

>>21640749
>Jerry, I didn't do anything! Jerry!
>laugh track

>>21640753
>if you didn’t do anything, why did they arrest you?
>I don’t know Jerry!
>what did you do?
>I have no idea Jerry!
>none at all?
>no!
>you had to have done something.
>I haven’t done anything of any importance ever!
>ever?
>ever!
>well that’s a waste. Criminal even.

>>21640779
>Kramer busts through door
>THERE'S SOME MEN HERE TO SEE YOU GEORGE
>I've been to the court today
>I'm acquitted
>laugh track

>>21640779
>GEORGE IS GETTING ANGRY

>>21640805
>This isn't even my apartment! How do they know I'm here?
>W-Well... I heard once from my friend Charles, that the black suits just follow you until your first setting, he was eventually acquitted, but it took about f-f-f-four lawyers. They say he died last year of an ear infection, but I don't think that's what happened.
>*Door buzzer*
>That's Elene!
>Jerry, there's some really handsome gentlemen down here, say they're looking for George
>Oh, God!
>I told them I might know a guy and one of them asked me to lunch. I'm not normally into cops, but... yowza!

I'm reading Pagan Imperialism by Julius Evola so it would be pic related lmao

not sure how he'd fare as ishmael. it's funnier to imagine him as ahab; maybe he'd end up becoming good friends with the whale
