What did he mean by this?

Where's the judging

The Crossing is his third best after Blood Meridian and Suttree.

I don't have any favourite movies
I don't care much for fiction in literature, if I have to choose it would have to be Hyperion.

>Omensetters luck

This book bored the life out of me. Seemed like a really bad Faulkner impersonation

Don't pretend you understood it. Pynchon himself admitted he was high on LSD and had no idea what the fuck he meant.

I do not agree and that is ok.

Is that Atomised? I read it 10 years ago and thought it was angsty junk but don't remember a single thing about it.

Probably the best book choice in the thread aside from Moby Dick but pretty pleb movie pick

I don't pretend to understand it. I barely understood any of it. But I love it all the same. A super enjoyable read.

>"understanding" pynchon
dumb brainlet

In Cold Blood is a fantastic book

Blade Runner

Light in August

Ada or ardor
The Seventh Seal

Moby dick is meme literature. Unironically surpassed even by its contemporaries

It's either Atomised or Whatever, I can't remember which, I took the photo for /lit/ years ago. I enjoy his perspective and his humour but they're not exactly literary masterpieces and you're right that they don't stick in the memory for too long

Agreeable

I like that one book by the Mick that's fucking gibberish but people act like it's brilliant. Always gave me a good laugh how hard that potato scammed everyone.

I don't care much for films but I've got a soft spot for Leni Riefenstahl's work.

t. brainlet who couldn't handle the biology sections

Worst opinion so far. It's by far and away the greatest work of prose fiction in the English language

Either patrician or pretentious, but I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt.

Unironically breddy epic. I hope you're a 60 year old, war-weary veteran and not someone who self-describes as 'an old soul' or 'old for his years'

Have you read Absalom Absalom? I love them both and they pair well imo.

>favorite movie
the 5th element

> favorite novel
is the lord of the rings a novel?

Sorcerer - Billy Friedkin

Invisible Cities - Calvino

Of Faulkner's novels, I have read Light in August, The Sound and The Fury, and As I Lay Dying.

Absalom, Absalom is in my to-read stack of over 100 books. I might bump it up in the queue though. I've heard it is his best.

Not an argument, making it hard to stomach doesn't make it good
Worst opinion so far. Moby dick is /lit/s The thing, praised only by the uninitiated redditors

Favourite book: Finnegans' wake
Favourite film: Transformer 4

>apostrophe

get the fuck out

>此处与比处

Where can I watch this?

Yeah if you like all those ones you read you’ll undoubtedly like it. I love Faulkner and the writing in AA constantly made me stop and reread sentences again just because they were so good

Have you read the novel? Be honest.

It does in fact contain some of the most beautiful sections of prose ever put to paper.

Summer with Monika / Still Walking / Short term 12
One Hundred Years of Solitude

Name three contemporary novels better than Moby Dick

Faulkner was indeed a writing genius. His back and forth banter with Hemingway is hilarious.

Have read Wise Blood, will give this a spin

The Girl With the Dargon Tattoo 1-3

At the Virgin Theater. Just a heads up it's Bring Your Own Katana and Fedora day.

Have never read a book. Where should I start ?

Dune and use of weapons.

Post your passages then, gusher. In fact all of you post your favorite passages

Wow, I can't believe Martin Luther King was such a disgusting racist. Fuck that nigger.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Trout Fishing In America

Fuck you.

Complete retard bashing a book he hasn't even read for purposes unknown to himself.

Jaws
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

The movie was garbage.

Throne of Blood-Ran-Kagemusha spiritual trilogy
Dune quadrilogy

>backtreads like posturing gusher that he always will be
Too easy exposing you basic dullards

Movie: Singin' in the Rain

>I hate book

Have you ever read it?

>That's not the point

nice

read The Old Man and The Sea by Hemingway. Only around 100 pages long, good starting point as he has a very simplistic style.

+1

very good starting point

>opinion on a work is so weightless he doesn't even have the confidence to lean on the material

“The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul. Not drowned entirely, though. Rather carried down alive to wondrous depths, where strange shapes of the unwarped primal world glided to and fro before his passive eyes; and the miser-merman, Wisdom, revealed his hoarded heaps; and among the joyous, heartless, ever-juvenile eternities, Pip saw the multitudinous, God-omnipresent, coral insects, that out of the firmament of waters heaved the colossal orbs. He saw God’s foot upon the treadle of the loom, and spoke it; and therefore his shipmates called him mad. So man’s insanity is heaven’s sense; and wandering from all mortal reason, man comes at last to that celestial thought, which, to reason, is absurd and frantic; and weal or woe, feels then uncompromised, indifferent as his God.”

It's very easy to google Moby Dick passages.

“Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me, and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-labourers' hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally, as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill humour or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.”

The source of that quote is a guy he brutally cucked, btw

It's not about access, retard, it's about which passage you pick telling something about your literary acumen

“All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life. And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side.”

“Is it that by its indefiniteness it shadows forth the heartless voids and immensities of the universe, and thus stabs us from behind with the thought of annihilation, when beholding the white depths of the milky way? Or is it, that as in essence whiteness is not so much a color as the visible absence of color; and at the same time the concrete of all colors; is it for these reasons that there is such a dumb blankness, full of meaning, in a wide landscape of snows- a colorless, all-color of atheism from which we shrink? And when we consider that other theory of the natural philosophers, that all other earthly hues — every stately or lovely emblazoning — the sweet tinges of sunset skies and woods; yea, and the gilded velvets of butterflies, and the butterfly cheeks of young girls; all these are but subtile deceits, not actually inherent in substances, but only laid on from without; so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within; and when we proceed further, and consider that the mystical cosmetic which produces every one of her hues, the great principle of light, for ever remains white or colorless in itself, and if operating without medium upon matter, would touch all objects, even tulips and roses, with its own blank tinge — pondering all this, the palsied universe lies before us a leper; and like wilful travellers in Lapland, who refuse to wear colored and coloring glasses upon their eyes, so the wretched infidel gazes himself blind at the monumental white shroud that wraps all the prospect around him. And of all these things the Albino whale was the symbol. Wonder ye then at the fiery hunt?”

These really are terrible. Melville's presbyterian penchant to pontificate will out.

Who would actually want to read a book like this? I couldn't even marathon those excerpts. Is all reading this confusing and boring?
Why the fuck would anyone read when you could be watching kino instead?
