Name one fantasy book in recent memory that isn't postmodernist garbage.

Is that from Jerusalem?
Really an enjoyable read, I never felt the urge to drop the book. Definitely recommend it.
The third part of the book made me think of the Rape of the Sabines and the parts before it could be compared to Aeneas' journey, but what other references and themes did I miss?

I've read the book and thought it was brilliant. I've never seen the film however. I've heard it's quite the horror show. My experience reading the book was rather one of comfiness. Should I risk spoiling the experience of reading this marvelous book by watching the film?
>/lit/ loves philosophy yet neglects psychology.
why stop midway?
Because this is a literature board.
Neetshit is basically pop-psychology.
Freud and Lacan are central to continental 20th century philosophy.

Who here unironically writes in a journal regularly? What do you write in it?
Just picked mine up again a few days ago. I write about my day and if something noteworthy happens I use it to practice my prose. It allows me to make mistakes/sound stupid without caring and I think it helps me to improve my writing.

I write about my diary desu
Then when my conscience asks me "did you write today?" I can say "yeah, sort of"
What is the most masculine book you have read?
Iliad.
I don't read that much, probably Heart of Darkness, but even that is very emotional and sentimental at times. I reckon it would be extremely difficult to write a manly book that's good.
The most masculine book is at the same the most unmasculine, since striving towards the spook of masculinity is roooted in insecurity.
There is no interpretation more important or more correct than the author's intentions.
If you did not understand what they were saying, the fault is on the public, not the author.
Personal interpretation is just that, personal, and is meant to stay personal. You do not get to define what a book says past the words on the pages.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of taking literature courses and having narcissistic millennial retards project their unhealthy need for attention by believing they somehow, as undergrads, as non-writers, as overall blank slates and smooth brains try and say that the author is wrong in what they were writing and the purpose of it.
I fucking hate everyone in my literature courses.

But if the text doesn't tally with the author's stated intentions, what then?
>>9417374
How do you know what the author intended?
>>9417378
The words are the tally marks. And if you THINK they are saying something else that they do not use specific literary devices to convey, then you're a fraud like the United States education system, and millennial's and their made up problems.
>Shadow had done three years in prison. He was big enough, and looked don’t-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time. So he kept himself in shape, and taught himself coin tricks, and thought a lot about how much he loved his wife.
Yes. That is in the book. Good job, I guess.

19 yo male college student here.
I'm not THAT socially retarded, I have friends, I don't have any anxieties, I'm also not scared of social events etc. But I'm socially retarded in a way that I don't know what to do or say in many situations.
I'm alright at being friends with other friends of MY friends. No problem at casual talks or cracking jokes etc.
But I'm the only child of my family and we don't have many relatives so it was a lonely childhood and a lonely teenage phase. No cousins, no uncles, no kids in the neighborhood etc.
So I feel like I'm always one step behind because a social life derives from social experiences but as I said, I didn't have much experience growing up.
So is there a book I can use as a guide on how to act in certain social situations?
ps. I've read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and it's not what I'm looking for. Something like an etiquette for young adults would be a better fit I guess??
>>9416505
>how to say absolutely nothing in 10 sentences
What the fuck is your problem precisely?
You say yourself that your problem stems from a lack of social experience but you don't think more social experience would solve it?
Reading is the last thing I'd advise you to do.

Has any one got any anarcho-capitalist recommended reading charts or other sources?
Perhaps try reading some Marxists and anarchists (old ones, fuck Althusser) to help you understand why private property and anarchism are mutually exclusive terms.
