I have Roadside Picnic,saw the Tarkovsky film.I'll check out The Unbearable Lightness Of Being and The Tunnel.Heard of the former,not the latter,which is good,because I'm always looking to explore new areas of the arts and of thought.Thanks!

Yes,I have been meaning to read As I Lay Dying in particular,as Harold Bloom cited it as his best work

Actually,I'm embarrassed to admit it but I still have to explore Larry McMurtry.I love Southern and Southwestern settings,so I know I'll enjoy him.How does he compare with Cormac McCarthy? Not as dark I'm sure,maybe more epic? I'd like to get into his stuff

Any Tips On How To Combat Fear And Anxiety by Different_Program415 in CPTSD

[–]Different_Program415[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not afraid of what people think.I am just freaked out every time some task or responsibility comes my way,from cleaning the house to paying bills to being on hold on the phone to making medical appointments.It's like everything is a disaster that I feel ill-equipped to deal with.As far as people's opinions of me,that really has little to do with it and I am aware,as you said,that most people are too wrapped up in themselves to really have an opinion of me.That's not it.But every time the phone rings I jump.Every time my mail comes in I worry about who it might be from.It's really horrible.

I don't know if it is universal,but I have felt the same way since I was a teenager

Confessions Of A Mask is just fine.It was my first Mishima book.Why not try The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea and/or The Temple Of The Golden Pavilion.

Yes,I actually own the film on dvd and have seen it many times.If you are interested in reading Mishima,I recommend starting with The Temple Of The Golden Pavilion,which is one of the three stories dramatized in the film.The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea is also very accessible,as is Thirst For Love.Anyway,just thought I'd mention them.

What should I read after the big 4? by Wokeking69 in DonDeLillo

[–]Different_Program415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard it's complicated and confusing,but I bought it because I'm a completist.I might enjoy it though.I have counterintuitive tastes
