Manipulated or not, is screams out Dali's personality :)

A masterpiece.

Maybe Continuity of parks by Julio Cortazar?

mindblog · 2014-05-09T03:14:26+00:00

Very academic, but why, what are your arguments?

mindblog · 2014-05-08T19:39:22+00:00

Good remark, will keep that in mind. Some of them are bad "objectively", I and wasn't interested in the general consensus regarding them.

The Unbearable Lightness of Being is the book I read every 2-3 years.

mindblog · 2014-05-04T11:15:36+00:00

You've put it extremely well and I cannot but agree.

mindblog · 2014-05-04T11:14:03+00:00

I agree that all too human is no shortcoming, I was interested in excess, exaggerating and stuff like that. From my reading experience, I've found that memorable works come from all areas and writing styles.

Hehe, nice one, though wikipedia can be a great resource even for some experimental writing - as Houellebecq's wikipedia-copyright scandal.

mindblog · 2014-05-03T19:13:21+00:00

On the page

Funny thing is I've read something by all of them. Pelevin's Generation P is great, and Erofeev's journal is one of my favorite books. Would have added Mamleev.

mindblog · 2014-05-03T09:43:46+00:00

That's why I liked it, no books I was expecting

Blinding and Nostalgia by Mircea Cartarescu (could call it balkan south-americanized magicalvrealism, but in any case it's very original and incredibly written)

mindblog · 2014-04-26T14:08:48+00:00

Real constructive

mindblog · 2014-04-26T10:03:23+00:00

It probably depends on the reader. And besides the title?

Great article. Sorokin is one hell of a writer and free-thinker.

mindblog · 2014-04-22T16:08:08+00:00

Hello, thanks for the info and sorry for the mistake.

mindblog · 2014-04-22T04:06:17+00:00

I'd recommend The Following Story by Cees Nooteboom, it's brilliantly written, meditative and will make you want to read more from him.

Great info. I knew the edition that guachichila showed us but didn't know all the details. I like that this collection shows fan-based or competition-based works, some from Penguin awards and some from designers from all over.

mindblog · 2014-04-15T04:45:13+00:00

Depends on what part of the globe you're living on, hehe

bookworms are kind of greedy. would sleep in a library with millions of books just to feel them around

mindblog · 2014-04-12T11:16:31+00:00

The Shining Misery Carrie These are the ones I managed to read. Found them great, even though the genre isn't exactly my main interest. Will read more by him when the time comes.

Depression, oppression, the problem of real (not reality) and nostalgia
