There's nothing to "solve"

i know that but philosophers dont.

If you want to get the most out of it, I'd read the first one. The first book had a different ending from the movie (if I remember correctly), and I think that plays a bit into the second book.

Also, $10 is a lot for a book nowadays. Got mine for $1-2 at a thrift store.

>>9351366
The 2010 book is a sequel to the 2001 movie, not the book.

>>9351325

I am also considering reading the Odyssey series, and I've been looking into this in a general way.

A local, GOOD sci-fi bookstore has 2061 and 3001 in hardback at decent prices; I may cop these despite not having the first two installments in book form.

I did read 2001 just once, almost 20 years ago. The one big difference that registers with me from book to film is the simple fact that in the book, they go to Saturn, while in the movie, they just go to Jupiter (also depicted in the 2010 movie of course). So what the latter poster is saying makes sense to me, despite not having actually /read/ 2010...

Because I recently did a close watch of 2010, and I did find a copy of 2010 in another bookstore and flipped through it. The few pages I flipped through indicated that the film adaptation is a /very/ close adaptation of the Clarke text. I looked up the scene where the Bob Balaban character warns the others that HAL will be curious about their abrupt change of plans. "what do you want me to tell him?" etc. This is exactly like the movie.

As for 2001, it was an interesting collab. The first piece of actual media to be released in the whole media property was the /Kubrick film/ itself, which of course is the only thing that most people care about. Clarke did his own variation on same theme, released contemporaneously, just a bit later.

Because you're a narcissist and think your opium dreams will be interesting. He whose talk is of Infinite Jest memes will dream of Infinite Jest memes, while the Opium Eater boasteth himself to be a philosopher.

I don't, I don't expect any dreams.
I just see that opiates are the only option for actual hedonism.

He wrote a few New York Times articles, and wrote the liner notes for a Spike Jonze album and an obscure 90s indie rock band.

>>9351018
He wrote this glowing review of Love in the Time of Cholera.

hamsun - pan is about a hermit, but it gets dramatic towards end

hölderlin - hyperion is an epistolary novel that focuses almost entirely on inner happenings

i also would like to know which modern authors pursue this ideal

My Struggle.

Read the 1805 edition of Wordsworth's Prelude, whose birthday it is today. Happy Birthday, William.

>>9350565
Plato

>>9350565
Read Beyond Good and Evil first, then reread the Geneaology and then reread BGE (if you have thought about what you were reading the first time, the rereading sessions will be easy and fluid, if not entertaining and at times exhilerating and ecstatic).
Then read Thus Spoke Sarathustra.

Ecce Homo's basic get your life together shit. Do that before the rest.

>>9350561
Derrida, to some extent.

>>9350561
Deleuze.
The first time it will be frustrating, since you costantly have to learn new fairly complex definitions. Once youget accostumed to those his writing style becomes charming and truly modern, it's a work of art really.

>>9350617
Any pointers? Like some common sense definitions for all the novel concepts they coin, like the Body Without Organs, etc.? Im trying to read Anti Oedipus, but it's a bitch so far. Can't put it out of my mind either, tho.

The dream of a ridiculous man

>>9350400
The Stranger and Camus is the obvious answer. Skylark if you consider that ugliness removes meaning from someone's life.

Perhaps an uggo can comment on that?

>>9350426
Camus made you want to live life even though it's meaningless? I mean, I understand that that's his pimary subject, but is he succesful?

your true individualist German proto-fascho superpowers that awaken when you project your teen angst on all other people

Speed listening is fucking valid! The time you space out obviously is more critical since more information is missed due to the speed. Also using pauses is critical to fully comprehend what you've heard. But in any case it's certainly not bogus!

Le ebin xD Now i'll be able to get an insane amount of reading done!

The reality is that someone who spends one month reading one book would likely get more out of it than someone who listens to 20 audiobeeks at 3x speed in a month.

Bump; let's find out.

>>9350313

Come on /lit/, think about it.

Becuase they are more inspired by her gawthic, and romantic, tone and world - which they incorporate in their own writing.
