Just found this thread. How serendipitous.

Nice digits but not, smoking in general is degenerate.

>Tripping.

Okay okay, nothing to see here.

I can't focus when I'm baked. I can't read more than 4 words in a row before being distracted by an intruding thought or idea.

>tfw no one wants to discuss this

really enjoyed the set up to action, and the last 150 pages seriously confirm this

Not many Hemingway fans here it seems. I've never read anything by him, but I want to read The Sun Also Rises.

But why?

"There is a great deal in Nietzsche that must be dismissed as merely megalomaniac… It is obvious that in his day-dreams he is a warrior, not a professor; all the men he admires were military. His opinion of women, like every man’s, is an objectification of his own emotion towards them, which is obviously one of fear. “Forget not thy whip”–but nine women out of ten would get the whip away from him, and he knew it, so he kept away from women, and soothed his wounded vanity with unkind remarks."

The entertainment industry is packed. Very competitive.

"Fucked" is relative though. If you can earn enough to live on and save some, nothing's stopping you from being happy.

>>9443700
Are you already published? Do you have connections in publishing/production companies? If so, you have a fair chance.

If not, you're fucked like an Amsterdam hooker. Why would you quit your job when you have nothing else going for you?

Are you a demi-sexual transpanatlantic dragonqueer?
If not, you're fucked

I'm considering the Edith Grossman translation.

>>9443706
Grossman is fine

if you can't get or understand the original by Cide Hamete Benengeli, i encourage you to get the version translated by Miguel de Cervantes.

Well, it depends. For example, veritable knowledge can't be gained without having known what love and as many similar things as posible is/are. But there is a certain point where this should stop, not to be dramatized and overused because if so, it is just a sign of frustration and of low intellect.

>Is writing poetry about love and women beta faggotry ?

It depends on if its good poetry or not.

>>9443651
No, sweety it's all ok as long you love someone.
Stars will align and make things happen for you and your crossed love. Love conquers all, sweety.

White noise is fine, lyrics and intricate melodies are not

i stick to classical music while reading, so it doesnt take me out of the book too much.

i had a playlist on once and a rap song came on and i couldnt focus on my book anymore and i decided then and there to never listen to rap music again while im reading or otherwise.

Have you ever been to Dublin? It probably has more objectively perfect bookshops per square meter than any other city on the planet

>The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?” and the others — a very small minority — who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.

-Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I have the internet. I can research anything. If something is in a book that isn't online, I can buy it on Amazon and get it within 2 days.

I must say, though, it is nice having a lot of unread books because I can randomly grab something I'm in the moo for.

>Does seeing your bookshelf amass with completed books give you a sense of accomplishment?

Damn right, faggot.
