They do. Aeron Alfrey is a beast and a somewhat regular contributor on the Ligotti message board. Fuck you, Ray. The one I'm missing is Grimscribe

I'm currently reading Maudemarie Clark and Alan J. Swensen's translation of Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality and it blows Kaufmann's translation out of the water. It's definitely worth a read for anyone already familiar with the work. As well, I think it's a great introduction to Nietzschean thought for any interested party who has not yet picked up one of his works.

Well, Teatro Grottesco is still available in mass market paperback from Virgin Books, I believe. But yeah, Noctuary. And The Agonizing Resurrection of Victor Frankenstein and Other Gothic Tales. Problem with Subterranean Press editions (and other small presses) is that, while beautiful as the books are, they're hella expensive too.

yeah. I missed out on The Agonizing Resurrection when it came out, and now I've seen it go for upwards of $400 on eBay

Just read this to get into the mood (finished in about two days - quick read):
Probably start V. next.

I remember I picked up V. a couple of years ago and read the first 70 or so pages and couldn't get into it. Might have to give it another shot though...

I've read two of those. The Stranger and The Master and Margarita. I'd say The Stranger is one of the coolest books I've ever read. It's similar to but an easier read than Nausea.

I need to re-read that. I read it when I was like 16 and didn't really understand it at the time. Libra is my favorite from him. Underworld was crap when I read it. I didn't finish. I'm going to try again, but the reviews on goodreads indicate that it'll probably still be crap.

I've noticed that people either love DeLillo's work, or they can't stand it. I take this as the sign of an innovative writer; his style and subject matter are either absorbing or alienating. I haven't read Underworld so I can't comment; but I've read four DeLillo novels now, and I love all of them (The Names, White Noise, Falling Man, and Point Omega).

How did you like The Master and Margarita? I've been looking forward to reading it more than the other works of fiction I'll be picking up this summer.
I'm a little too busy because I work full-time along with full-time classes. I could probably squeeze it in at some point before the summer begins, and may do so, but I'm not sure. Also, I'm thinking about reading it in sequence with The Plague and The Myth of Sisyphus, which would take some more time to get through.
I'm looking forward to it! It's been on my reading list for a while, so I'm glad to finally have it in my possession.

Master and Margarita feels like it translates weirdly sometimes, maybe culturally as much as linguistically. I can't really remember all of it. I read it about 12 years ago, when I was about that age.

White Noise actually didn't suck as much as I expected. Foucault does though. Why does everyone ride his cock so much?

all hail Discipline & Punish. My students eat it up. When we read "On Panopticism" and discuss Facebook, the NSA, and watch "The Lives of Others," I pretty much have to force them not to buy tin foil
