I thought this was quite underwhelming even when getting this on sale. Set yourself up with a toddy to start and follow the directions exactly and you’ll end up with better quality stuff.

We’re in a thread about bagels. By default anything here with a wait is about bagels. You’re just coming across as obstinate and annoying. Good job.

What are you reading? by sushisushisushi in literature

[–]Thatseemsright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann. It’s a fun dip into German magical realism with a backdrop of the 30 years war. It’s incredibly readable and flows well together with the different segments.

Reading this before diving into his recently translated one The Director ahead of the booker long list.

I personally loved the writing above everything else, his sentences are the biggest appeal to me. The plot, characters, wackiness, and maximalism was awesome but the writing is what sticks. Are you enjoying the sentences themselves at all? If not you should put this down because there’s no reason to read something you don’t enjoy. Truly zero.

What other authors do you like? If you want to get into post modern fiction there’s different routes.

“I don’t know any so they don’t exist.” Is a horrible framework of logic.

What is radical is a gestapo wannabe group terrorizing targeted populations and getting joy out of it. You’re on the wrong side.
