if I told you guys I have one of his bandannas and I use it as a cumrag what would you say?

>>9397879

pics or gtfo

>>9397883
...I mean at this point it just looks like another bandanna soaked with cum. I have nothing to prove it's his but it definitely is. I bought it from one of his former conquests before he died. she sells them online.

"Never define a character's race, you'll only be shooting yourself in the foot"
-JK Rowling

so is JK Rowling deep state or what?

This is what motivated Tolstoy, who was writing for a newly literate populace. Authors can have good ideas, whether their fiction is to your taste or not.

This is the stupidest thing I read this year and (sadly) I'm on 4chan quite a lot. Unless you are actually 12 years old you should strongly consider suicide at this point.

bump for interest

You can use google translate, you cheap fuck. Just look up every word you know on english and it's german equivalent

I don't think I can write a short story in that time frame but I did have fun looking at Lithuanian names. Ironic cult gone wrong is also a fun concept.

>>9397767
Fantastic word.

Moby Dick

>>9397710
The first canto of the Divine Comedy is pretty great

Best opening line ever written: man is born free but everywhere he is in chains

just go to the review section of the bible on goodreads.

Into the trash they goes!

Read multiple news sources. Current events are always happening.

I seriously recommend Cleveland's history of modern middle east. I had to study it in University, and it's truly amazing in its analysis and explanation of modern middle eastern history. It will give you in-depth knowledge about all current events and political developments

The entirety of Foucault.

>>9397580
yeah, I jerk off and my mind is free of thought so I can quietly read my book.

>>9397594
No jerking off, not an option.

>>9397669
You post-op?

>>9397402
when really our modern society is much more like brave new world

It is though. It predicted endless war, total surveilance, manipulation of language, and fabrication of history. Brave new world just predicted "muh hedonism", and 1984 had that aspect anyway in the prole classes

Stop being a countersignalling faggot

>>9397408
I'd say so, yeah, in that BNW felt much more like a reflection of a neo-liberal society to the extreme. But again, I feel like I'm walking on egg shells because usually what follows discussions of those books are pissing contests of who knows their political terminology better.

>oceania is fascist
>no oceania is communist
>no it's fascist because of x y z
>yeah but it's communist because a b and c

At that point you might as well just stop bringing the book up.

Pretty much. I remember liking the stand but the first part lasted a bit long.

>What would you recommend to a nearly autistic guy with short attention span?

Suicide. Preferably livestreamed with the choice of method decided by a public poll.

Every book is worth a read, even if you hate it.

>>9397369
nah

Sam Harris is at his best rationally deconstructing current events. When he gets into new-atheism-as-new-age-dogma i turn him off.

>>9397305
The only thing I do online is read, so none.

>>9397305

plenty. if i didn't have the ability to cool down from challenging texts by shitposting, i would probably be reading informal articles/genre fiction.
