I'm really glad that I've come across a mostly plotless erotica that is so well written and revolves around the writer's thoughts and adventures in a lifetime. I like the way that it is mostly about loneliness and those experiences of the aroused state-of-mind. And it also explores the differing sexual desires of male and female.

A Great Great Narration by Ernest Hemingway.

A Very Good Description of Sea Fauna.

And thus began the lascivious vampire mythos ...

This is so well written and it makes one to go out more. However, it's only a children's book afterall with a peek of naturalism for adults. I think the plot was a hook-up as it is amazingly written but at the end it only goes to too much flowery positivity.

Just wanted to make sure that I never have any control over my shitty fate and absurd actions before this year ends.

This is so beautiful. I think this falls on my top 5 reads this year. It's a perfect prelude to WWII America. It so revolves on a particular experience of Gene Forrester, who experiences a mental conflict in his distant from actual war, a separate peace, and events leading to his loss of innocence which acts as a driving force for a rush of war in him as well as his colleagues.

This so reminds me of Catcher in the Rye, in portraying a personal disillusion and a passive warlike ambience on streets. Besides, this is also much different as a narrative. There is much dank humour in serious conditions or moments of tension that feel so utterly touching. And afterall, it explores a mental rivalry between two best friends so eruditly that has a lot to say about close male friendships.

I think this is so overlooked as it is darkly true for this world and secondly the description of adulthood jealously can push anyone out of their comfort zones because it is truth.

“In eternity there is no time, only an instant long enough for a joke.”



German literature is the best!

This starts as a non-fiction philosophy about the Steppenwolf and what role such animal personalities have to play in human lives. And then begins a journey of self-discovery and a conflict arises between savage solitude and hedonistic pleasures within a magic theatre as a microcosm of our universe. It's a deep meditation and simultaneously lascivious exploration of a mid-life crisis and the erudition of a lone wise wolf or vast possibilities of lustful existence. And after all, the importance of humor.

I even got to know several distinct philosophical aspects of the existence of Mozart as a fictitious character in the fiction itself. And whatever Hesse writes is unquestionably an intellectual and spiritual orgy of the mind to read.

A book to die for
