Haven't been into books in a long time. Now that I have more time on my hands, I'd like to get back in it. Yup, a book recommendation post. I'm looking for easy to digest sci-fi books to get back into it. My wife had me read Ready Player One, and I thought it was rubbish. I'd really enjoy something involving other planets, possibly aliens?

What do my fellow pseuds think about the psychology behind idle-games such as cookie clicker, where people get a sense of gratification seeing their points go up while doing nothing.
Do you think this will ultimately have a negative impact as future generations become more used to constant reward-center stimulation, or is it ultimately not a big deal. Thoughts?

You're already living in that world, dude. All these people who are walking around playing Cookie Clicker and working simulated jobs selling each other coffee are already plugged in permanently. They should all be farming. Cookie Clicker hell is already upon us.

>>9303017
HAHAH love it, but in reality we shouldn't be farming, we should be scavenging food and hunting animals, if you really want to go that far back, where does it end?

Does anyone know some non-pseud material that goes into discussion about the effects on society when the people are so consumed by the desire for instant pleasure?
Throughout history it has been seen, with orgies, drugs, and now games. But society seems to move on just fine every time.

Finally Reading, "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." 3 Chapters in and I am LOVING it. Finding a good book that makes you laugh out loud is a gem!
Some of my favorite quotes so far:
"Mr. Prosser's mouth opened and closed a couple of times while his mind was for a moment filled with inexplicable but terribly attractive visions of Author Dent's house being consumed with fire and Arthur himself running screaming from the blazing ruin with at least three hefty spears protrudin from his back. Mr. Prosser was often bothered with visions like these and they made him feel very nervous."
"Ford would get out of his skull on whisky, huddle in a corner with some girl and explain to her in slurred phrases that honestly the color of the flying saucers didnt matter that much really. "

Yes, /lit/, yes, indeed. But, I daresay, which bible do you recommend me to read, pray? King James? English Standard? New American? Oh! And, before I forget it, where do I learn about Orthodoxy? The Cathars? Protestants? Bogomilism?
Oh, /lit/izens, lend me your sermons. I do await, monsieur, yes, indeed, I do.

The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell is complete dreck and I love reading it for some reason. Every character is a cliche, every last fucking one, and nothing happens that isn't foreshadowed. It's obvious that the author would like to think he's very much like one of the supporting characters, but based on the quality of his writing it's equally obvious that he's much too stupid to be that person. The dominant faith of the setting is a purer distillation of conservative politics than anything I've read about, the human adversaries are literally corpo-nations, and the aliens are even more one-dimensional than the humans
What are your stupid pleasures and what's stupid about them, /lit/?

Reminds me of the Ciaphas Cain books. They're just exactly what you expect them to be.
>>
>>9302715
Hello Jack
>>
>>9302726
No, I've read Ciaphas Cain too and it doesn't even come close to how bad The Lost Fleet is. Ciaphas himself is likable, whereas Black Jack is laughably stupid, naive, reactive, and I cannot adequately convey how retarded his relationships with other characters are. The Cain series does have a repetitious narrative style, but the events being described by that narrative aren't actually repeating. The same battles happen in The Lost Fleet over and over and over again.

Though it's not a novel, and it doesn't describe existence as an "experiment," The World as Will and Representation presents the universe as the visible manifestation of an eternal imbalance - like an original error of a simple non-conscious being.

Worst political novel I ever read. Atlas Shrugged was better, because at least it explained more of its authors views than just "fuck niggers lol."

I get it...I get it. Cockroaches deserve to live also. I swear by my life that I will never, ever crush another as long as I live.
This is PETA's dreamboat.
Why did Kafka have such an affection for cockroaches?

Since this thread is here...
I disagree. Cockroaches GET to live. Only if they value thier own life do they DESERVE anything; ie, life.
I've never read The Metamorphosis, btw.
