  • Haha, almost thought you had started reviewing non-fiction (Derrick Jensen, which by the way is a great read about direct political action if you're into that stuff).

  • @BryanEKS89 haha so close.

  • This sounds interesting, I might have to pick it up.

  • @BloodyRose3000 I really loved it.

  • He is one of the first post-modernists - that is what he is most famous for. Simply speaking he's famous for doing something none has done before, His works remind me of Manzoni's cans - famous modern art piece. It is extremely clever as concept, but at this particular time and space, you don't see much in it than what it actually is... On the other hand someone said that a piece becomes a true work of art, no matter what it actually is, if it actually moved someone.

  • @maxtotiev ha I never heard of Manzoni before, so I looked up the cans...quite the concept, haha. I'd argue Beckett's work makes you "think" a bit more, but I suppose that's all up to the individual's mind.

  • @fuckestupest I'd say this and Waiting for Godot are equally good points to start. Be prepared for an acquired taste, is all.

  • I want to start reading Samuel Beckett. Is this a good place to start?

  • @gnites88 I just got done reading A Clockwork Orange a few weeks ago! enjoy. and to @jyoung2112, Burgess said he will always regret writing Clockwork Orange, and to me, it seems that Kubric was more iterested in the violence and not the overall meaning of the book... I won't spoil the ending for Mr. Goranites.

  • @jyoung2112 Looks like it was. I have 6 chapters in part 1, 7 in part 2, and 7 more in part 3. I'll have to look for the last chapter online when I finish. Thanks for the heads up.
