I still like butt naked better. That reminds me of a funny song. Buck naked makes me think about animals fucking without passion - which hits too close to home

Females are fucking disgusting, manipulative creatures.
Do not look at females.
Do not talk to females.
Do not touch females.
Do not interact with females.

I need some good self help books.
ANY subject is perfectly fine.
The only requirement I want is: it must have impacted your life to make a big change.

Art of War by Sun Tzu deeply touched me. Also, Antichrist by Nietzsche made me pursue more "doable" goals and stop procastinating so much.

Thank you kindly.
If you have any more, don't hesitate.

So you're dancing at the club when this guy walks over, throws your girlfriend down the stairs and says 'the world is my will'. What do you do?
Keep in mind that he's friends with Goethe and could probably have you poisoned during the next cholera outbreak.

Hi, I thought I'd make a post on here because I would really like to find more people to talk about books with. Buuuuut, when I told my friend (a frequent 4chan user) that I wanted to post on here, he said that I wouldn't be welcome here because lit board think that women can't and shouldn't read. I've scrolled through some threads a few times and there's nothing to suggest this type of ideology being dominant on the board, so I just wanted to double-check before I get too invested in discussions.
Also has anyone read A Thousand Splendid Suns? It's one of my favourite books. (y)

Trying to hard there, buddy
You should post on /r9k/, these retards fall for any 'femanon here teehee' bullshit
>>
How about A Thousand Splendid Cums?
That's right bitch

I'm well aware of /r9k/ and even /pol/ views, which is why I'm making sure this board isn't the same instead of just assuming that all of 4chan is alike.

Why are you not playing chess while reading or writing?
Vladimir Nabokov devoted most of his time to chess and composing chess problems, eventually writing Poems and Problems and Luzhin Defense. Arthur Conan Doyle, the author of the famous Sherlock Holmes, is said to have won in a chess tournament made by the Daily Telegraph newspaper. One of the greatest German philosophers, Arthur Schopenhauer, has stated that "Chess is superior to any other game." Russia's great novilist, Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy, was an avid chess player, and has recorded some of the most interesting chess games he's had. Edgar Allan Poe had an interest in chess and wrote the essay Maelzel's Chess Player in which he tries to expose the chess-playing machine called The Turk.
I can go on and on. Start playing chess daily if you want to have your name beside the writers and thinkers mentioned above.

Nabokov was a massive poser just like Hemingway was with his phony masculinity.

Med Student that's normally from /fit/ here.
I'm looking for good lit written by doctors, about doctors or both to fill my late night shifts at a smelly hospital.
Preferably novels or plays (no poetry, even though I know there are a lot of fantastic poets who were doctors, like Schiller), and if you can recommend a good translation in french it would be nice too. :)
Here are some examples of things I've read and would like more of:
Céline - Mort à Crédit
Jules Romains - Knock
Boulgakov - Carnets d'un jeune médecin (éd. Folio Poche)
Thanks

This shit always makes me tear up a bit. Pencil-pushing academics really only have each other, but at least they have that.
Let it be known that if this were not an anonymous imageboard I would eulogize each and every single one of you nerdy losers should you pass before me.
Side note, the population ethics stuff he did is actually fascinating. The Repugnant Conclusion is an interesting problem.

All I want in life is for someone to find my monkish, reclusive ways admirable and to write a brief, heartfelt eulogy for me that no one reads.
The universe, it seems, has not seen it fit to give me even that.

No they don't, academic philosophers dedicate a hefty chunk of their research to demolishing each other, Its one of the few ways to rise in the ranks.

What is some literature that explores the social constructs that artificially restrict sexual activity, such as marriage, monogamous relationships, ethics, morals, etc.? Is there any reason to believe that degeneracy emerges from increased sexual freedom in a society?

Degeneracy emerges from pandering to the masses.
Read Adorno and start being suspicious about the common man ( without losing sight of your love for him) and the institutions that create contents for him. There is no high art and high value in what is made for everyone (and there is even less value and even less art when the only reason for that creation is monetary).
