Maldoror - Comte de Lautreamont

Thanks for mentioning this. I'm surprised that I haven't even heard of it. Seems interesting.

still reading 'the secret teachings of all ages'.  Maybe someday when I am elderly, I will finish this telephone-book-sized encyclopedia of esoterica.

inb4 someone says 'you're already elderly, nigger'

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. It has taken me a while to adjust to the writing style, but now that I have broken through the comprehension barrier has started to get really cool.

Are you familiar with the author and his death? I just read up on him. I don't want to ruin your reading experience so I'll put it in a spoiler

Spoiler

He died before he could write the counterpart to that book where he wanted to

"replace melancholy by courage, doubt by certainty, despair by hope, malice by good, complaints by duty, scepticism by faith, sophisms by cool equanimity and pride by modesty."

That's tragic but it puts a smile on my face.

Yeah, I have read up on him. He seemed like a very interesting character. It is a shame he died so young and couldn't do the sequel, but maybe it was fate's way of punishing him. He was apparently a big influence on the surrealist, which I can definitely see from his writing. I won't go into it too much, but shark fucking makes an appearance.

Awesome. I'm sold. 

Read The Wasp Factory if you haven't already and find the time.

That looks pretty good. I already tracked down an audiobook of it. I generally prefer reading hard copies, but i'm broke and I fucking hate reading novels as PDF's off a laptop.

I don't know if that book will work as an audiobook, honestly. I sadly can't tell you why because of more spoiler issues.

I've read it in one session on my PSP. Don't be a pansy.

Fair enough. I guess some books need to be read rather than heard. I'll add it to my list.

[RisiR]

Good choice.

currently reading this


after that I will be reading this

[Prometheus]

I highly recommend Little Brother and Homeland by Cory Doctorow.

If you like those, Pirate Cinema was also really good. I was less impressed by For The Win, or Makers(though both were interesting).

I am currently reading The Trigon Disunity trilogy by Michael P. Kube McDowell for fiction, and my nonfiction is Capital by Thomas Piketty. Yeah, I know, everyone is reading it, so what.
