So this just came in the mail. I got meme'd on by Yea Forums, didn't I? It costed me like $140 in total (all of the Pynchon books are used). Anyways, r8 don't h8.
Recent Purchase thread
You've been memed
Just bought Steppenwolf. Few pages in, and it seems pretty good
Nothing particularly literary.
How do you expect to read absalam or to the waves or the light house without starting with earlier woolf or faulkner... You also bought a shit ton of pynchon meme books... did it ever occur to you that an authors style might not appease to you as it does others? Like seriously you might not even like pynchons writing style. IJ and BM aswell lmao. Also how the fuck did you decide to get the hardest possible modernist books but not pick up a signle joyce? Like seriously? You bought absalom which is an equivalent to nearly Ulysses level of difficulty. Like this is some serious autist level fucking thinking here. Also, lit dident meme you, you memes yourself everyone fucking tells people like you to start with the greeks so shit like this doesent happen. If you bought all the greek epic poems and platos works the you'd be fine but I promise you, you wont finish not a sinngle one of these books with any fucking understanding. As for House of Leaves; its the only book that'll youll be able to finish a simpleton as yourself. Dis-fucking-grace.
>buying books
Damn, you got memed so hard that I feel sorry for you.
I swear if I'm seeing Infinite Jest just one more time today on this board I'm going to kill someone.
Infinite Jest
Sorry, im not a literaturey person,but whats the deal with infinite jest.
Is it just some glorified postmodernist trash for faggots to read or a legit good book?
>Is it just some glorified postmodernist trash for faggots to read or a legit good book?
it is unironically both of these things
look at all those shit covers
it's shit
you're unironically a faggot
Lolwut, that projecting. I already read The Sound and the Fury and TCoL49.
Which do you consider shitty?
As to why I didn't buy Ulysses, the sole reason is because I haven't read the Iliad nor the Odyssey yet.
All me btw (OP)
Read Absalom before starting Pynchon
>start with the greeks isn't a meme
