Reading thar one right now
It’s probably not considered lit, but this is the book that got me into reading properly
Here’s a photo of Michel and Iggy Pop
Irvine Welsh is as lit as it gets
It's hard to describe why, but the feeling it leaves in me is...something alien entirely
lord of the barnyard
How do you pronounce this book? Two-six-six-six, two thousand six hundred and sixty six, two triple six? Dumb name for a book desu
That film is great. I choked up real bad with that poet saying something like "I don't regret that I've cried" as opposed to "I don't regret that I cried"
I call it twenty six sixty six
>not calling it 'twenty six six six'
that subtle line hits hard
can a poorfag/computer illiterate read this without buying the book
please help me i m autistic
It's a year, so twenty six sixty six
Probably the first book to awaken any sort of religious feeling in me. Tolstoy is incredible
What movie is it?

sorry mom taught me not to click on suspicious links
okay
We didn’t deserve him. He was right about everything
It is literally the book. Click it you pussy
I think I'm going to tackle this soon. I've really enjoyed everything I've read by him so far (NLMG, Floating World, and Remains).
how much should I think about what i am reading while reading this? I'm 200 pages in but sometimes I just go through passages mindlessly when he's describing the family tree of the 20th character named ivan ivanovich
To Stay Alive: a Method
It's Iggy Pop meeting with poets and Michel Houellebecq acting some kind of artist character
this is way too literal for me
do you have autism
The book gains strength as you reflect on it. Passages that seem meaningless suddenly have a new light cast upon them 400 pages later. Maybe not the family tree bits, but the book in general gets better as you read it. I can only suggest you keep going, and remember that ultimately it’s a murder mystery and there are things that Dostoevsky is intentionally keeping from you. I found the first 300 pages difficult but it becomes more and more readable
why is Houellebecq such a sex-crazed maniac?
re-read this at least once a year, so good
He addresses that in his books
Care the expand?
Thanks for the writeup user. I wasnt planning on quitting it as I do enjoy reading it, it just gets a little hard to follow at times
I love this book. I love the fascism discussions, I love the tactics, but most of all I love its deception of life in the infantry. When people asked me why I joined, I tell them to read Starship Troopers.
>when humanity niggers encounter numbers
pathetic
nope
He had a fucked up mommy so he has major issues with women
In all seriousness this book changed my life.
dos mil seiscientos sesenta seis
why
I felt a connection between me and Kerouac. It starts off with him talking about a sickness he had acquired after the death of his father (original scroll) and having dealt with similar circumstance it bonding the character and I. In the book he is desperately and ceaselessly out for something to live for, excitement and experience. He's accompanied by his close friend, Neal, who have a strange brother like relationship. At the time in my life when I read on the road I was in a similar basket. I had a very very close friend who was like a brother. I was young and on the go trying to peice somethinf together. It inspired me to live just a little more; take a leap so to speak. I felt very sympathetic for Jack and at times, in certain passages I could see myself in him. I read it at the perfect time in my life. I had started writing little bits here and there before I read this book but once I finished it i was inspired to write my own memories and experiences down very enthusiastically.
Anyway whats your favorite book and why user?
Great book. I liked Skagboys even better
One of my favorites
How do I stop being a pleb Yea Forums?
Me too user, and for some reason it’s considered a lesser book in the Trainspotting series? Radge cunts, man.
Reading what you don't enjoy for lit cred is pleb. Reading what you do enjoy is based, no matter what it is (unless it's Jordan Peterson or something
Such a fuckin ride
I really love Slaughter House V by Kurt Vonnegut. I know its not Yea Forums but I dont care, I really enjoy the prose. Currently reading Metamorphosis and might start 2666 afterwards. Any recs?

Cringe
It’s “dos mil seiscientos sesenta y seis
Read this , when I was 16. Maybe need to re-read it. But it's really good and got me into reading.
I'll have to re-read it multiple times, but it doesn't change the fact that even casually reading it was wonderful
maybe this
Out of all his books you had to choose /that one/?
Disgusting.
I've enjoyed all of his books that I've read, but would say my order or preference is something like below the following...
Mysteries = Wayfarers > The Growth of The Soil > Hunger = The Wanderer = Pan.
Plan on reading Victoria and The Women at the pump fairly soon.
Why did you dislike Mysteries? I thought it was charming.
I think it's good, but it pales in comparison to Markens grode. Edgy teens usually like Sult, bitches love Victoria and Pan, and e/lit/ist enjoy Markens grode (the book he won the Nobel for).
My favorite is Markens grode, then På gjengrodde stier.
>På gjengrodde stier
Sounds very interesting, I think it might make sense to read it after his earlier works though. Thanks
Cringe cover and cringe title

I should read it again but I don't think any other book has moved me as much
It's very Yea Forums user, why would you think otherwise? Ending fever dream is so good
need to give it a reread.
