>FEBRUARY 9
>Glad this day is done! Robin & Twinka here most of the afternoon hunched over their books on the dining-room table. I wasn't able to keep away from them. Knew there was going to be trouble, couldn't help myself. Promised myself I would watch television, keep my back turned to them, keep out of the dining room, but heard their voices and my good intentions weren't worth a gumdrop-sneaking to the door holding my breath, on my knees as low as I could get. They knew I was there. Cocking their legs apart-the dirty sluts. But naturally they pretended not to know anything about it when B came after me. So it's my fault. I'm to blame, who else! I'm always to blame. As far back as I can remember I've been to blame for whatever happened.
>Just now occurred to me they must have told her. Of course, otherwise B wouldn't have noticed. So they did it deliberately, encouraged me-yes, now that I think about it. So they think they can make a fool of me! Well, they're going to pay for that. I won't forget. I'll get even with them, yes, and then some, don't care how long it takes. I'd like to tie them up tight together, give them a taste of the candle.
>I think I could be quite a teacher. Quite a teacher.

This (but unironically), and anything by Emile Zola, particularly Germinal, of course De Sade’s stuff though he’s more unapologetic about his pervs

Three good picks

>>25115521
How are Ulysses and Demons good pick? Didn't read them. I would say Lolita is what he is looking for.

>>25115530
For Ulysses, Lotus Eaters, Nausicaa and Circe would answer your question. As for Demons, Stavrogin and his relationship with the girl Matryosha. Read them, though I don’t really enjoy dostoevsky’s book all that much.

>>25115543
Read Demons but reading the wiki character list, I dont remember the book at all. Maybe worth listening on audiobook idk tho.

>>25111677
OP - Thread No. 25111677. It’s terrible metafiction though

half of this guy's books- consider Travesty, The Blood Oranges, The Passion Artist, maybe The Frog or Second Skin if you like. So strange that he had a normal family and career, you'd swear from his novels he was a real sicko.

>The Blood Oranges,

What a fascinating guy; I looked him up. He also taught Jeffrey Eugenides. Went to Harvard. Back when Lit professors were interesting I guess.

I'm checking out blood oranges.

I've been reading excerpts from google gemini for like 20 minutes. How did this get published? I'm almost curious enough to give it an actual read but it just looks so shit.
