That isn't true at all. The writation of characterising the commonality of traits among the African descended community is most promptly failed by the Other, the white, who, through the lenses of imperialistic conquest, views the African descended individual with racially motivated contempt, just as the African descended individual looks down upon the white Other.

I've never suffered from it.

I'm reading Heidegger so it's going good.

How boring.
>>9538959
Me too, I'm still not over the introduction, evey page is so dense.

my diary desu

- any of the books that colin wilson discusses in "the outsider", which ought to be a /lit/ meme because it's literary criticism written at an enjoyable entry level
- all of houellebecq's books
- most great literature after the death of god, really

You have no goal in life? You have no purpose pushing you everyday? No will to try something new, no esoteric fulfillment, nothing? You just sit and stare at text all day and have no thoughts? When you feel as though you have no direction, nothing comes to mind that you rather in fact just feel ambitionless towards?
Nobody is a husk, everyone has an end goal, even just a daily one.

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."

Start writing or you're a pleb

That's all well and good but have you considered the possibility of working with the new version of the internet

I'm trying r/literature.

You know it's getting bad when reddit is a better alternative.

write a story that reminds you of time your dad made you feel really small and embarrassed and try to find a way to incorporate stale food in some way

>>9537402
I didn't grow up with my dad so that's kinda hard to do.

>>9537387
Write a story about a suicidel homeless man that throws himself onto the subway tracks in the middle of the night only to find the mummified remains of a young boy clutching a wiffle ball. His life is forever changed.

Go back.

>Super intelligent young guy that can do absolutely anything
Yeah, it's pretty garbage. It was pretty comfortable back in the day, but even then I questioned some of the things that Artemis was able to do.

I started reading the first novel in middle school and dropped it, I remember thinking it was shabby.

i think one of the best things on the internet is the fact that so many comedians have podcasts. some of my favorites are:

- bill burr monday morning podcast (consistently good. one of the funniest guys ever)

- joe rogan (great when he has other comedians on, or interesting guests. some of them are too rogan-y though. like really? i wanna listen to 3 hours of a guy that wrote a book on coyote diets?)

- doug stanhope podcast (lacks a very solid form, and his usual cohosts are odd and tough to get used to, but they're great once you're accustomed)

-joey diaz church of what's happening now (joey diaz is always hilarious, but his range of topics always seems kind of limited to drugs, kungfu, and music. also Lee Syatt sounds like a timid retarded boy. also his guest game is weak.)

some okay ones that I've listened to some episodes of are Ari Shaffir's, Bert Kreisher's, the fat guy that's not Bert Kreisher.

The thing is, all these podcasting comedians are all sometimes clumped in a little club of Rogan and Diaz and Kreisher and so on, and that can get a little weird.

I'd listen to WTF with Marc Maron if it wasn't on that weird platform of his. I used to listen to the Rooster Teeth podcast a few years back but got sick of it... idk if it's still as good as I remember it being but I doubt it.

If you listen to any other podcast youre a piece of shit

/lit/ favorites are
>In Our time
>The Partially Examined Life

personal favorites:
NPRs Hidden brain
You are not so smart ,underrated AF, focused in psychology and self delusion
Waking Up is good, Harris often invite people who disagree whit him in some way or another, so you don't have to sympathize with him to enjoy

>>9535968
>Which one should i commit to?
Suicide

Are you so lacking in backbone and conviction that you need others to tell you what to do? Fucking faggot

>>9535975
im cant fucking decide which doorstopper to dedicate a month of my life to so i went to lit to get some opinions you fucking dolt

>>9535979
>im cant fucking decide

Reflect on why not

>i went to lit to get some opinions

Reflect on why you did so

>first story in hyperion was the only good one

Second for fantasy being an incredibly shallow genre.

>>9535567
Yeah, not enough artistic stories of arab taxi drivers blowing each other mid-ride. Go get hit with a rocket, Jew.

>>9535042
It really hasn't aged all that well imo (according to my estimation)

>>9535042
I'm with ya OP, definitely one of the greatest pieces of literature I have read.

> that guy who thinks Libra isn't his best

the judge is pretty cool guy.

Yes it's a love story to the western canon. Try to read more American classics and then come back.

Particularly Melville

>>9534191
Well, you can see the hardships of Frontier Life, and how the Judge judges the Kid by raping and possibly killing him because, at his eyes, the kid was to mercifulin an unmerciful society

Also, what the hell is wrong with male centred nonsense?

they'd just shove pig seed up their cunts or something

biology is required to answer your question
so feminists won't give you an answer, rather they will claim this is an ironic masterpiece and you are dumb for misinterpreting it

>>9532713
who gives a shit, if they succeed in destroying men, they've succeeded in destroying themselves. let them have their moronic fun.
