stunning. I cant believe it isnt named a masterpiece more often. I wish he could have finished the trilogy. Anyone read his other work?
This is Stephen King.
This is John Banner.
This is a shit thread.
So is the Dark Tower any good? I'm not sure why but it's probably the only King book in my library I skipped.
Help me anons. I have a lot of quality books to read, a huge backlog of objectively good fiction and non-fiction. But I don't have the drive to read them. It's taken me weeks to get halfway through a short novel. I spend way too much time seeking other entertainment or reading 4chan. How do I fix this. I want to be patrician, but I think I might be ruined. Thanks.

why don't you just take the redpill and realize that books are for fags? Infographics is where it's at

Schedule your time for relaxing and keep to it as a schedule. Schedule time to read or learn something, after that.
Make sure relaxation time is never boring and learning/reading time is always something you want to do
Should a 120IQ brainlet that can hardly read two paragraphs without getting bored give the classics a try?
How has reading affected your life, and specially, your cognition?

You're implying you don't think while sleeping. Also, you're not looking at it the right way.

It's over-designed and convoluted. The throwback style seems approximative at best, It tries so hard to look neat but ends up boring and unappealing.

Was the /lit/ philosophy guide ever completed? If not, are there any similar ones in existence?

Basically all 20th century philosophy that isn't Husserl and Heidegger or Marxism simply isn't featured.

Only if it reveals that Terrence McKenna and WS Burroughs invented the meme of primitive cultures using psychedelic drugs.

I don't understand your point here?
Did you read this book?
Good book. Also check out Storming Heaven, Hoffman's LSD: My Problem Child, Uncle Fester's Practical LSD Manufacture, Otto Snow's LSD, and Pickard's Rose of Paracelsus.
I'm disappointed.
I know it's unfair to compare it to the movie, but it just feels like a much tidier story. Every scene has a point and connects to another in some way.
The book just seems to ramble on and on about how fucked up Bateman is, shit we already know. It becomes a drag.
The movie is much better as a character study of a sociopath, the book is just "dude yuppie materialism lmao"
