Hello. I'm the "This" senpai. It shows where you get your motivation from. You are forced to read a couple of YA books, one of which is a race baiting piece of crap, and read by angsty teens worldwide, and forced upon people to read by unimaginative teachers.
> le "what was this book about society about xD"
It's just a further enforcement of vain liberal ideas that make teenagers feel well read, and make them ponder. These same teenagers that were forced to read "The boy in the striped pyjamas", and "The curious incident of the dog in the nighttime", are now reading babby's first le edgy teen books.

>race baiting
Ah yes, lets ignore all of the other themes, right? The ramifications of false accusation of rape? The grisly air of domestic violence? The strength Atticus must show to mount a defense even when his client is regarded as a second class citizen?

It's when the author mirrors it in a book, I dont like it. Also, it(to kill a mockingbird) gets pushed by liberals everywhere to promote something i dont like. Nothing good is here. It is not the idealogy of the author, but how the book gets promoted and read.

I would suggest reading The Fountainhead before Atlas Shrugged. I read Atlas Shrugged about every 18 months or so. I like it but not nearly as much as The Fountainhead. Atlas Shrugged has some huge speeches that can really be tough to get through the first time you read it. The Fountainhead is a smaller investment of time and a better introduction to Rand. If you don't like The Fountainhead then don't bother with Atlas Shrugged because the later is even more of everything but much more long winded. You might even read Anthem first as its short(can be read in one sitting) and will give you a rough idea of what Rand's writing is like.

It's plot-packed, short, a little annoying like a Jim Jarmusch film in places (as is the Stranger) and depends upon a Brontes-type wonderland the reader never quite gains access to (Borges?) I read it a long time ago because I admired Cocteau in all his phases. I recommended it because it was the second book that came to mind. The first was Lolita (guilty but nevertheless misread Frenchman at large in an American wonderland) but the likelihood of (you) having read that already felt strong, plus a little banal as a rec.

I was interested to read something by Piglia since he died in january. I think i´ll start with that.
I´ve read all three collections he released or finished while alive (llamadas, putas, el gaucho). Llamadas is by far the best, i think. I haven´t got to read the one released after his death. I´m avoiding that for now
Oh and Sensini is really good, one of my favorite short stories of all time. Very sad and very moving. I feel bad for Di Benedetto.

Mmm, i haven´t read Pan or Lighthouse. Have you read Sabato? I think you might enjoy Hunger by Hansum, too

>>9423337
Indeed. He´s one of my favorite poets. People don´t discuss his poems as much as his narrative or essays

Only The Tunnel, which I quite liked and reminded me of Hunger or Notes from the Underground. The closing passage has stayed with me for years now, absolutely beautiful and sad. Is there any other book by him you can recommend?

>I think you might enjoy Hunger by Hansum
I have read all major Hamsun's work, he's one of my favourite writers. Hunger is pretty good but you should definetly check out his later period (Pan, Victoria, Growth of the Soil).

The first thing I read of Borges was pic related. It's very good. Ficciones is great but I feel like it doesn't have the staying power I would like it to have. Maybe I should re-read it again. When it comes to his poetry however I feel like I should always be reading it. I read all of these from my library. I have his collected works "Labyrinths" but haven't really looked into it. Hopefully there's some poems there. If not then fuck I'll have to buy some eventually.

I like the writing style of horns and the imagery, harry potter is just a fun read anytime and I hadn't read it since the last book came out (seeing Rowling's growth over all the books is kinda cool but she's still kinda amateurish)
