- When was the last time you went on a book shopping spree like a lunatic?by /u/Wonder-Lad (So many books, so little time) on April 26, 2024 at 1:17 am
Ya'll I'm still feeling that after buzz of giving myself some shopping therapy lol I went to my favourite bookstore hoping to get a copy of Salem's Lot or some other Stephen King book I haven't read. Unfortunately they didn't have a copy so I decided to browse around a little and my eye caught another book I've been meaning to get, it was No Longer Human, so I take it to the counter and the counter lady tells me oh it's 50% off!! Ooooh yeah. So I go ahead and keep browsing and I find some other books that pique my intrest, and ohh frabjous day, calloh callooh callay. Turns out ALL OF THEM ARE 50% OFF. At this point I've lost all will to fight the urge, give in an buy. I got four books that would have cost me a fortune for the most fair price I could imagine.

- Read The Stranger by Albert Camus,thoughts:by /u/UniqueBrick8723 (So many books, so little time) on April 26, 2024 at 12:41 am
“Maman Died Today,Yesterday Or I Don’t Know.” The Novella with arguably the most famous opening line in the literature world,The Stranger(4/5)published in 1942 was written by writer,philosopher Albert Camus is a work that’s focused on the philosophy of Absurdism. We see a protagonist who is indifferent in nature who works a 9-5 Job in the French Algiers and the ridiculous things that happens to him that inevitably leads to a series of horrors for the readers,not to the protagonist. Camus uses a story to translate his idea of Absurdism,a philosophy that tells us that life is inherently meaningless and we should enjoy things and be indifferent towards the things that happening to us. In the opening we see meursault’s mother dies and he goes to attend her funeral but we could see he is not affected by her departure but is tired by the long journey. He probably loved his maman,but her death doesn’t matter to him. Likewise we see many events and meursault’s indifference towards those events. Is he too cold hearted? Or he doesn’t care about the world? many questions arise. If I have to surmise my thoughts about the book perfectly I have to spoil the book or I can’t make sense for what I say. In short it is a book of high standard and well received in the literature and philosophical world. One of the fine works on the concept of Absurdism,A gateway book that could be used as an entry way to the Absurdist philosophy. The book exposes us to a unique perspective of a man who neither feels nor react in the normal way and is condemned because of it. The existentialist canons Kafka,Dostoevsky is unlike Camus who views the world indifferently but is known for more emotional and deep writing styles. Outsider is plain in text but deep in implication. I cannot help but compare him to the other two,as they are known for their expressive and direct to heart narration. Exactly for that reason Camus is different and original. Looking forward to read more of him and delve more in absurdist philosophy. “The Stranger/Outsider explores the nakedness of man faced with the absurd." -Albert Camus. submitted by /u/UniqueBrick8723 [link] [comments]
- I adore Gillian Flynn, which is why I'm frustrated by the way people discuss the character of Amy Dunne (Spoilers for Gone Girl)by /u/ThisDudeisNotWell (So many books, so little time) on April 25, 2024 at 11:02 pm
I've be rereading a lot of Gillian Flynn lately, as well as rewatched the two good adaptations of her work (the Gone Girl movie and the Sharp Objects mini serires). I think her body of work as an author are some of the best meditations on the way the social constructs of gender shape and damage people's relationship to society and themselves as a whole. I kind of forgot that some of her books are close to, if not over a decade old at this point--- since I'm deeply impressed with how ahead of it's time her work is when it comes to the topic power under patriarchy. Though some minor to moderate details may not have aged as well as others, she was kind of ahead of the conversation here on the ways people both are to blame and blameless, both perpetrators and victims of gender-based systemic oppression. Her focus is primary on cisgender women of course in relation to this authority--- but she shows a lot of restraint in unfairly painting cis men as individuals as personally responsible for this. She's correctly identified (for the most part) that though it's obvious the ways boys and men tend to, let's say--- sit in more socially honorable positions when perpetuating patriarchy, that's not the whole of it. Both men and women are equally responsible, equally victimized, and equally capable at gaming the system when they're good at playing the role of these synthetic gender absolutes to their advantage--- even when they hate they have to. Though all of her books more or less cover this same topic through different framing, somehow in what I personally consider her strongest work, this seems to be totally lost on people. Consider it like this: in chess, playing white gives you an advantage because you get the first move. Chess players are often required to switch colours because of this in tournaments. You still have a good chance to win a game as black, white just gets that slight edge to pull ahead. That slight advantage would be magnified more significantly if one player was consistently allowed to play white. Men are those players, always playing white. Women are stuck playing black. However, the real power and authority here, regardless and forever, is the game and it's rules itself. You are garenteed to win 0 matches if you won't comply with the rules of chess, if you get caught cheating at least--- and patriarchy forces you to play chess whether you want to or not, and will make you pay for being bad at it. She's genuinely one of the greatest feminist novelists of our time. The whole point of a lot of Flynn's work is basically exploring the ways people interact with this social order. Every single one of her characters' narratives can be summarized by their failure or success at playing the game of gender to some extent, or exploiting it. The twist of all of her works relies on you failing to consider the ways in which people can find ways to take advantage of this game. As murder mysteries, her work ends up arguably being predictable. If you read her work knowing this is the topic she's exploring, you can guess the culprit based on who's winning or losing this game--- Gone Girl possibly being the one exception because of the way certain characters lampshade their position for at least a portion of the narrative, though. I'd argue that that's kind of besides the point, however. Even if you can predict the answer with that meta knowledge of Flynn's subject matter, it's still extremely fascinating and illuminating to see the way her characters navigate the conflict. You understand why they can't see the answer--- as you, also a human being farmiliar with these systems, know the ways you've been tricked too. All of Flynn's antagonists are the ones that succeeded the most at playing patriarchy--- and they did so playing as black. Amy Dunne is the most likable one out of the bunch, with the most sympathetic motivation, but that's still what she did. Insisting she's somehow morally correct or defensible in a way the others aren't is (even unintentionally) expressing indirect support of patriarchy. Amy has profoundly destructive, anti-social behaviors to which she feels absolutely no remorse for the harm she's cause, with plans to continue doing more by the novel's end. At the sane time, more than any other protagonist in her work, Flynn does an excellent job deconstructing the ways in which Amy's behavior is a direct product of her circumstances. She makes you truly understand why, from Amy's perspective, this is the only option she has in operating in the environment she's found herself in. I don't blame anyone for feeling they'd feel tempted or wish they could respond in kind if they were in her position. I equally take issue with anyone who characterizes Amy as some sort of distilled evil with no emotionally resonate judtification for her actions. Maybe if you even are in her position. It's not easy to write antagonists with this much compassion, and it's truely a highlight in Flynn's body of work. It's worth noting that though Flynn's two previous books are outstanding in many ways aswell (Sharp Objects and Dark Places), Gone Girl exels in presenting the antagonists humanity much better than in her previous installments. One of the reasons why I feel the Sharp Object's mini series is actually an improvement over it's source material is the much more compassionate, nuanced portrayal of it's secret murderer--- which significantly elevates the material. I do get why people identify with Amy Dunne--- in some respects I think that's the point. It's a call for examination as to the outcomes of that "female rage," as Flynn puts it. Nick Dunne is on surface level a much easier character to be dismissive of by design. Flynn pulls no punches in the ways Amy exels at playing the gender game despite her disadvantageous position, Nick gets to be remarkably mediocre. Because of this, the moment he's put in a bad position to fullfill his social obligation as a man, he not only fails but is completely willing to utterly tap out. There's a case to be made at his utter lack of awareness of how this impacts those around him, his naive emotional simplicity. However, in the same regard I feel the narrative is trying to question the idea if he should have really been expected to uphold this position in the first place when he has such a disinterest in it. Amy's frustration with Nick is much more so rooted in the fact that she's put in all the effort to memorize all the master strategies of chess despite hating every second of it, and Nick only understand the game enough to meander his pieces around the board in a vague whim on what looks about right. He's been allowed to coast off the privilege for a bit, but there was never an indication he had any interest in playing seriously. The conclusion you come to shouldn't be that he should have been subjected to learning like Amy did. Her making him personally responsible for that is completely unjustified. As horrible as it is for her, that she staked so much on the false assumption he was a more worthy match than he really was can't be solely placed on his shoulders. Nick blunders through being entirely unequipped to live up to the social expectations placed upon him because of his gender, but on a core level he has a lot of objectively positive traits. Some of the narrative's most biting commentary is in the way he's actively punished for being too oblivious to realize he's going to pay for those positive traits. He's a much more naturally earnest person than Amy. Trusting and open in a way that lets him wander like a labrador into a situation he's uneqipped to handle when trying to fullfill his obligations to his family and his wife. Because of the finacheal difficulties and life stressors outside of either party's control, he doesn't realize the strings attached to Amy's support are strangling him until it's way too late. The ways he attempts to not deal with it can rightly be called cowardly and shameful--- but really, no person and certainly no relationship should be subjected to the bullshit quid-pro-quo Amy felt entitled to expect from him because he's her husband. The social order has constructed a scenario where both parties are forced eventually to submit to a toxic, miserable arrangement that not just harms them both--- but is going to be the environment a child innocent in all of this is going to be brought into. The entire story is a nightmare with no winners, just some parties that lose worse than others. Amy Dunne's situation is not one to be admired, it's to be feared. submitted by /u/ThisDudeisNotWell [link] [comments]

- Manservant and Maidservant - Ivy Compton-Burnett (1947)by /u/marqueemoonchild (So many books, so little time) on April 25, 2024 at 4:18 pm
This book is absolutely freezing cold. There is no passion, no love and no vitality whatsoever in the Lamb household, it is of course not permitted. Horace Lamb, the father and head of the family, is maybe a perfect ascetic, physically, mentally and spiritually, his only desire is to make use of as little of the life around and inside him as he can. Yet he is also at all times clutching at a kind of perverted, polite Victorian domestic tyranny at all times. Very reminiscent of certain Dickensian characters, but for me in many ways even more disturbing than the likes of Scrooge or a Uriah Heep. As for the titular manservant and maidservant, the butler Bullivant who has "served the master for forty-five years" and the family cook Mrs. Selden, it seems to me that they for the most part serve as extensions of Horace's ascetic ideals for much of this novel, perpetuating the generational misery through their influence on the younger servants, the orphan Miriam and workhouse boy George. Even more than Mortimer or Horace's wife Charlotte, it seems that their lives can only exist if the master does, or at least the correct kind of master since "not even Mr. Mortimer has the mien of one having authority, as the master had." Some of the most strangely written children you're ever going to come across in any book. So much of this book feels like a kind of exaggerated homage to the domestic drama of Victorian literature, and nowhere is this clearer than in the Lamb children, especially in their speech. The vernacular of the children feels completely to odds with the reality of their lives. Despite it being brought up several times that not even all of them can read or write, and the eldest of the flock being only about a dozen years old, they all still argue, speak and reason in an even more serious manner than you would expect adults to, and often times they do. However strange this stylization might be, I don't think it takes away any of the sympathy that you might develop for the children and their situation, I know it didn't for me. There isn't for example, almost any scene with children that I can remember affecting me more than the beyond miserable Christmas Day that they are subjected to by their father, and despite the severity of their speech all the emotion behind it feels real. In some ways worse off than the children, who still at least have the potential of future adulthood intact and in front of them, are Horace's wife and his cousin Mortimer, who despite planning to elope and escape from Horace's miserly, tyrannical grasp, realise when Horace falls ill and seems to be not long for this world that there is really nothing they can do other than remain in submission to his will. Both are absolute dependents and are incapable of leading life on their own terms, as is showcased further by Mortimer during his time alone after being banished from the household by his cousin after his desired, but ultimately unsuccessful transgression comes to light. Ivy Compton-Burnett has a clearly defined mission in writing this novel, and from what I understand her task is very similar in several of her novels, that being trying to understand the domestic tyranny that certainly was in her household, as it has been in countless since the very beginning of the concept of family. The kind of cruelty on display here has a more unique, and assuredly more personal, Victorian flavour to it. Its a kind of intellectual brutality which rather than any outward violence or displays of control, deals in politeness, insinuations and a twisting of logic to subdue ones opposition and over time rot away any instinct they might have to rebel or attempt to live in one's own way. submitted by /u/marqueemoonchild [link] [comments]

- Snow, by Orhan Pamukby /u/tolkienfan2759 (So many books, so little time) on April 25, 2024 at 2:30 pm
A couple of people have posted about this book already, but my take is so different from theirs that I thought it deserved a new post. Well, and I'm a lunatic, of course, which makes me different from absolutely no one. It's so hard to know what authors intend. I finished the book yesterday, and I couldn't be more surprised if Samsung had produced a slim, shiny, high-tech device for turning Americans into Turks. What should the international warning symbol be, for a device which might do such a thing by accident? Warning: Culturally Metamorphic. Only for men. Women are born Turkish, and can have nothing to fear from this book. I'm tempted to compare Pamuk's facility for creating an apparently endless succession of clearly different and relatable characters with that of Dostoevsky. Except Dostoevsky never made me a Russian. He was crippled, too, by the vanity of his ideals. By his christianity. Pamuk suffers from no such antiquated ideological cage. And apparently the book is a work of fiction. If such a creation can be regarded as fiction, who could ever tell the truth? We need a new word, for the more important truths for which the only evidence is imaginative. Truths about what we hold in common, the cultural wreckage that prevents us from drowning in our own humanity. submitted by /u/tolkienfan2759 [link] [comments]
