Another really great video Daniel! Always look forward to hearing what you’re into, your Instagram is one of my favorite pages. Still though, I yearn for the day where you’ll talk about William Gaddis. I’m reading his 700 page marathon book “J R.” It’s really great! His first novel, “The Recognitions,” is near a thousand pages, but it is heavily inspired by Faust and started as a retelling of it. Hopefully that entices you some more!
@@offthewallnovels1292 👍Absolutely. You should definitely give "Roadside Picnic" a read. It has one of the best endings of any book I've ever read. And it's wildly different from "Stalker", though they are both masterpieces in their own right.
There are two angles, and I took both simultaneously: a readable history book like Mitch Horowitz’s Modern Occultism that basically goes through most eras in history and gives you a few pages on each major thinker. And two, reading a book laden with occult imagery and symbolism so that you can see the more artistic applications. I recommend Goethe’s Faust or Crowley’s Moonchild.
