Is ballsack worth reading? If yes Where tf should I start as his oeuvre is massive Some people here denounce him as the man responsible for kickstarting the trend of pointless redundancy and mundane retardation in modern novels. Do you agree?
>>23312689>Is ballsack worth reading?Yes.>Where tf should I startStart with either:1. The Unknown Masterpiece -> Sarrasine (short stories),2. Colonel Chabert (novella), or3. Old Goriot -> Lost Illusions (his best novels)>Do you agree?No, that's ridiculous.
>>23312689>pointless redundancy and mundane retardation in modern novelsI don't think that's the problem with modern novels.
bump
I want to get the Pléiade series of his workIf I can get it for $200-300 used I will purchase it
>>23312689Honor the ballsack might be my favorite /lit/ meme
>>23314381Really? It's hardly a /lit/ meme, it's one of the most obvious jokes you can make.
STOP CALLING HIM THAT
>>23315602its literally his name bro...HONOR DA BALLSACK, BITCH
>>23312847Cousin Bette and The Black Sheep are also very good novels.
>>23312689Yes, but we have this thread like five times a week and it's the same people telling you the same thing with the same starting point recs. Just wish we actually had discussion threads on his stories rather than on him as a general matter
>>23312689mémoires de deux jeunes mariées
>resurgance in Ballsack interestIt's because of dragon's dogma 2 isn't it?
>>23316847I thought this one was just ok. I don't really like when a story is about something then they basically reverse it at the midway point and write along lines of the opposite. I greatly fault Anna Karenina for exactly this. Obviously still a fine work, but out of the 6 or so shorts of his I've read it's one of my least favorite. >>23316880What's that retarded game have to do with Big B?
>>23316880what's that?
>>23316836Alright, discuss.
>>23316880Don't think people on this board are that much into manchild hobbies to know what that is.
>>23317824There are literally people here on this board who read Japanese picture books and call them "magnas". Don't underestimate how fucking dumb and gay some of the niggers you post with are
>>23317954Well obviously >>23316880 is one the people you've described, but I guess I just don't see them that often.
>>23317824Sure they are. Reading is for children after all
>>23319857Well yes if they refuse to read the classics and consume only YA and sci-fi garbage such as yourself.
>>23316836>we have this thread like five times a week and it's the same people telling you the same thing with the same starting point recsI should just keep bumping this thread so that people stop making the same thread and posts.
