| I tell myself to read more books and manga but I never seem to do be able to do so. Productivity (if you can even call it that) is just not in my system. There's Jekyll and Hyde sitting there which is a pretty short novel and I haven't even read it yet |

| If you want to read Victorian 'horror' you should just read Frankenstein instead, Mary Shelley is pretty good. Inb4 Frakenstein is pre-victorian, that's technically correct but a bit pedantic. |

Zergneedsfood said: Crafty said: oh right lmaoIt's the poet that Stephen stands up for and gets called a heretic by his classmates... i'm dumb :< i need to reread dubliners/portrait/ulysses again this year zzzz ayy you've read Ulysses? I might as well do that this Summer since it's been a while and I'm yet to read Portrait. |

If I can't imagine myself reading modern fantasy stuff, let alone something like this  holy jesus christ, wattpad books are the most uninspired, generic shit ever, and this is coming from an anime watcher |

Zergneedsfood said: Kokko said: I read Ulysses a long time ago. o_Oayy you've read Ulysses? I might as well do that this Summer since it's been a while and I'm yet to read Portrait. Like how long? Because I remember you saying that you hadn't ~1 year ago. |
Kaimon said: SuperRed said: Baccano and Durarara's style of openings are my favorite in anime bar none, they can easily fit in with any anime that have big casts Have you seen this yet? 90% of the stuff he said in the obvious is like, uh really obvious to anyone with an eye for detail lol. I read the comments and apparently he even got the part about the meaning of the Durarara op wrong. Another fraud detected. |
| I almost forgot that I have class tomorrow lmao Zergneedsfood said: well I don't know what defines something as classical so I just say "classical" when I mean a sufficiently old book kekmfw read lots of classical books you don't need to read a lot of classical lit. not all classical lit is good, and not all of it is required also what feaor said go read frankenstein instead. it's much better :P maybe classics is the right word iuno |

| I want a second season of HotD uuugh |
| hgyouhigyboi Holyyyyyyy fuck that Jojolion chapter was so good. I can definitely see this surpassing DiU for me on re-read well at least his JoJo one is a lot better. Haven't seen the Nichijou analysis yet. |

| Huh, well I guess that explains why the artist moved on to work on his own stuff. |
| While we (were) on the subject of lit, has anyone here read "And then there were none"? Is it good? Tbh i only want to read it bcuz its name is cool af and there a touhou spellcard named after it Also nobody even knows other than my famiru knows i read books, let alone old ones I don't talk about things I have insufficient knowledge about unless I'm asking a question |
|
| The writer of HotD had like a cancer or something at some point, which stopped him from writing. He's been healed for many years now but never got back into writing the story. Meanwhile the artist started doing Triage X TL;DR it's one of those cases where the source material is stuck in a limbo |

| Also the reason why I want to read classics is because while I have read books before, like from Mitch Albom and shit, I've never really read a classic book until Monte Cristo, which I was so engrossed with I had to stop myself from finishing in a single day because there's a blackout caused by a storm(which lasts long). Its also now my favorite book.

| Is Shinsekai Yori a LN? I thought it was just YA fiction. |
Zergneedsfood said: like in anime, I just pick what seems interesting. I dont really read much into the backgrounds of the writers or the books. If there's a "tag" in the book called "classics" im just more interested.AzureDaora said: Just don't become one of those people who read certain books because they feel like it's something to cross off their list.I almost forgot that I have class tomorrow lmao well I don't know what defines something as classical so I just say "classical" when I mean a sufficiently old book kek maybe classics is the right word iuno People should read books because they want to, not because they want to read certain books that are on some sort of list of things to read to become accepted in some fraudulent circle of nerd readers. Always frustrates me when I see people jumping around the canon, picking up all the "hard" books and ignoring everything else without any concept of pacing yourself and reading stuff that isn't just big name "high-brow" literature. And fuk no i wouldnt do that. Reading a novel takes far more motivation than watching anime, bragging rights is none of my concern |

Yup, just like how American cinema isn't real art |
Owarimonogatari volume 3 (second cour) anime adaptation has been green-lit for production, according to a push notification from the Koyomimonogatari mobile application. Source: Kazuhiro Tsuchiya via Twitter Hype! Shaft is already doing Kizumonogatari and has taken two non-Monogatari projects recently, so second cour may air sometime Summer of Fall of 2017. |

It's pretty crazy that we might actually get a full adaptation of the Monogatari franchise after all these years. Usually LN adaptations stay at the one or two cours so it's nice to see something complete for a change |
