The Republic isn't a bad place to start.

Sound and The Fury.

Almost done with Quenten's chapter and it's easily my favourite so far.

So new Dark Tower book isn't worth picking up?Do we learn anything new in the 8th book or should I just disregard it?

>Thomas Paine's works.

Pretty empowering.

But it already was and it wasn't that bad inact it was pretty damn good.

But I recently read Brothers K a while back and I think it could be impossible to adapt into anime. Now, if it was done by Abe Yoshitoshi and SHAFT I could see it being done pretty well.

They do that deal all the time here in the UK.

Last time I entered a book shop that did it I bought Leviathan, Paine's works and The Prince. That was a good day. They usually do this deal on some pretty decent literature.

Check out some Dazai and Murakami. I think you'll like them a lot.

Been meaning to look into Soseki myself

>> No.2731870 [View]

Probably something by Philip K Dick.

How is that edition of "On War"? I have heard it's not the full version. But should I buy it anyway?

Read it and enjoyed it. Not sure where it would rank among Nabokov's works but it did get me back into Chess.

Why bother buying a kindle if all you're going to read is shitty best sellers?

Dazai.

His works was even the inspiration for SNZ.

When they say "me" instead of I in actual conversations.

You'll know what I mean if you live in Northern England.

Dazai is pretty great. But also really depressing.

Read that a couple days ago. It's pretty damn good and it almost replaced Monte Cristo as my favorite.

Sound & The Fury.

Not bad, part one was a bit of a chore though.
