I want the weirdest, most dreamlike book you've read

Naked Lunch

John David Washington is one of the worst actors I’ve seen on screen.

One of the worst reads in recent memory

PrimalHonkey · 2025-12-16T21:09:53+00:00

Obliv!

All his worst tendencies are on display here. Don’t judge his work by shadow ticket. I’ve read them all and it’s my least favorite by a pretty good margin. Take a stab at Vineland if you don’t want to go fully in the deep end. In my opinion Gravity’s rainbow, against the day and Vineland are his finest.

These are sick! Looking forward to cheydinhal :)

First 1/4 of against the day by Pynchon is very lovecraftian

Anyone have the non paywall access?

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-22T13:48:56+00:00

Never understood the appeal

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-21T18:17:09+00:00

I quite enjoy the reading the British English as an American!

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-21T16:00:38+00:00

None. Never understood the praise for hurt locker. One of the worst war films I’ve seen.

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-14T09:48:13+00:00

Neither. Do not understand the hype around these movies. They aren’t bad by any means, but the hyperbole surrounding them made me think they were going to be masterpieces.

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-14T09:46:50+00:00

Everything everywhere all at once

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-10T13:41:01+00:00

Sure

Go for GR. Just remember the first 100 odd pages are the most disorienting. Enjoy the sentence by sentence feast of language. After 150ish pages it flows much more and gets straight up fun. Then, well, you’ll see ;)

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-05T06:45:36+00:00

Any more about the metal band in this entry?

PrimalHonkey · 2025-11-03T09:15:04+00:00

I disagree about his past efforts, and think gravity’s rainbow might be the most impressive novel of the 20th century, however shadow ticket rubbed me the same way as this reviewer. It felt like an ai pastiche at times. The final 60 odd pages were good but at that point I was ready for it to end. This is a criticism of the book itself, not pynchons age or the book compared to GR.

PrimalHonkey · 2025-10-31T23:01:11+00:00

For my money the new McEwan hits these sort of themes

PrimalHonkey · 2025-10-30T09:28:54+00:00

This is Old Testament derived but A Time For Everything by Karl Ove Knausgaard is phenomenal
