Sounds like your professors suck, because mine did literally all those things you mentioned that yours didn't.

They made Hegel, and many other philosophers interesting and compelling, without taking stances.

>the real world
lol. Read more

>>9994157
Well it's not a conscious circlejerk, I believe these people are actually convinced they are doing serious work. I don't know which is worse though. Read analytic philosophy and when you're looking for nice prose then read some fiction literature.

>>9994118
Yeah, when I was 14.

>>9994118
The first chapter makes me kek every time I think about it

If you care you didn't understand the novel

It doesn't matter

but he's too talented and humble to be our guy

Harold Bloom is a better pick

Our guy is any autistic and failed writer that never got published.
We don't know him, but we don't know ourselves either.

I couldn't find Swiss Robinsons Family book, but found it thanks to /lit/! Thank you very much for that guys.

No idea what you're are op.

I read this book like 10 times at least when I was a kid, but I remember it started falling apart and my mother (or maybe me when I got older) threw it out.
It was about a kid that got sore because he ate something bad I think. He was in bed and some doctor was running around him or some shit. This blond dude (he was on a cover) visited him and basically took him onto a journey through his own body and explained the basics; how a heart works, what happens with the food after you eat and how the body processes it. It was quite informative and fun. There was a plane on the cover as well I think and the blond dude was wearing a scarf.

There were these books about teddy bears who all hung out and did stuff, there was this one where on the cover one of them was sleeping on a crescent moon and it was about them all floating into space in their dreams.
I looked everywhere for it but can't find it.

Your brain has been destroyed by the internet. You're the complement of the 'SJW/cultural marxist/cuck/white genocide/Jews/frog' crowd. You can't think, and you're a dreadful writer.

fuck off saddude you pretentious moron. Go jerk off to more diaper porn.

It'd be more helpful if you tell us what the game is about/like.

Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy, the rare type of gothic fantasy written before Tolkien and is very unique as a result. Don't be discouraged by its difficulty, if you can read Crapcraft you can read him

>>9993021
It'll be insufferable because it's written in the current zeitgeist

What a cheap way to make money.

No it's typical millennial insecurity and resentment.

Anyone even slightly to the right is slandered in our age because radical revolutionary jews, as our new elite, are middle eastern totalitarians at their core. To be normal and want a normal society makes you a heretic.

>Why do people hate my forced meme reactionary so much, gaiz?

>>9993007
Gormenghast. Haven't read it because fantasy is not my thing but apparently it's amazing.

>ASOIAF
>really good
You're gonna have a bad time on this board.

>>9993016
Who the fuck says that they are not good?

>>9993007
So you read until nearly finishing book 2.

At least we accept GRRM enough to loathe it, Rothfuss a shit

Catch-22, A Confederacy of Dunces, and Apathy and Other Small Victories are my personal meme trilogy of funniest books ever written

Breakfast of Champions was funny when I read it. I was 19 at the time so I don’t know how I’d react now.

All of them. That's my natural state.

Nietzsche was a chuuni piece of shit. Zarathustra is his livejournal.

"This, however, all poets believe: that whoever
pricks up his ears as he lies in the grass or on lonely
slopes will find out something about those things that
are between heaven and earth. And when they feel
tender sentiments stirring, the poets always fancy that
nature herself is in love with them; and that she is
creeping to their ears to tell them secrets and amorous
flatteries; and of this they brag and boast before all
mortals.

"Alas, there are so many things between heaven and
earth of which only the poets have dreamed.

"And especially above the heavens: for all gods are
poets' parables, poets' prevarications. Verily, it always
lifts us higher — specifically, to the realm of the clouds:
upon these we place our motley bastards and call them
gods and overmen. For they are just light enough for
these chairs — all these gods and overmen. Ah, how
weary I am of all the imperfection which must at all
costs become eventl Ah, how weary I am of poets!"

When Zarathustra spoke thus, his disciple was angry
with him, but he remained silent. And Zarathustra too
remained silent; and his eye had turned inward as if he
were gazing into vast distances. At last he sighed and
drew a deep breath.

"I am of today and before," he said then, "but there
is something in me that is of tomorrow and the day after
tomorrow and time to come. I have grown weary of the
poets, the old and the new: superficial they all seem to
me, and shallow seas. Their thoughts have not pene-
trated deeply enough; therefore their feelings did not
touch bottom.

"Some lust and some boredom: that has so far been
their best reflection. All their harp jingling is to me the
breathing and flitting of ghosts; what have they ever
known of the fervor of tones?

"Nor are they clean enough for me: they all muddy
their waters to make them appear deep. And they like
to pose as reconcilers: but mediators and mixers they
remain for me, and half-and-half and unclean.

"Alas, I cast my net into their seas and wanted to
catch good fish; but I always pulled up the head of
some old god. Thus the sea gave him who was hungry a
stone. And they themselves may well have come from
the sea. Certainly, pearls are found in them: they are
that much more similar to hard shellfish. And instead
of a soul I often found salted slime in them.

"From the sea they learned even its vanity: is not the
sea the peacock of peacocks? Even before the ugliest
buffalo it still spreads out its tail, and never wearies of
its lace fan of silver and silk. Sulky, the buffalo stares
back, close to the sand in his soul, closer still to the
thicket, closest of all to the swamp. What are beauty
and sea and peacock's finery to him? This parable I
offer the poets. Verily, their spirit itself is the peacock of
peacocks and a sea of vanity! The spirit of the poet
craves spectators — even if only buffaloes.
