whoa I was just gonna pick this up. I've always had a weird style of writing but never cared to read much myself, learned I fall into the 'surrealist' niche and decided to read the essentials.

i like surrealism quite a lot too user but i havent read any of the essentials yet. i know nadja is one of them. is it good? what are the other essentials too?

I'm reading les chants de Maldoror right now and it's great

>already have depression and suicidal thoughts
>gain immunity from cursed books

I read it in uni but I was really high so I didn't really get it. Then I converted to Catholicism and haven't had suicidal thoughts since. No longer Catholic, but still haven't wanted to or tried to kill myself. I was really depressed before reading it while high though.

You committed suicide and are now trapped in limbo. None of us are real. We are all figments in your head.

I got through half of it. Not really my thing. I do remember it having something of an effect though. The next day just walking around my neighbourhood to get cigarettes there was something fucking weird about what I was seeing. All the buildings took on this weird quality where they all looked very cylindrical for lack of a better word. It was like everything appeared to me as if it were made out of rudimentary 3d shapes. It was very weird. Only lasted for about half a day though after I'd read it the night before. Didn't want to kill myself or anything though, but it definitely had some effect.

That explains a lot.
Three dubs in a fucking row!

hard to believe literature can do this

This book is the most dream-like book I’ve ever read. It’s a great ride.
