Volume 4 of Proust's ISoLT, Sodom and Gomorrah, deals at length with homosexuality both in men and women. Idk if that counts, but it's probably the best written stuff you'll find (plus Proust was gay).

Throughout my university education I have probably collectively written somewhere in the neighbourhood of 900-1000 pages for various academic essays and term papers. Spaced out over a few years and numerous different courses that is not that much. Especially when you factor in the in text citations/quotes. Most of my term papers have received grades ranging from an A- to A+ with a few B's. It's always my own, original work. Until this term.

I have paid $300 to have 2 term papers written. I am plagiarizing. I have written 70 pages worth of essays on my own this term and I have absolutely no more juice left. I have been severely depressed for years. It has only gotten worse. I can barely get out of bed. Last month I missed 2 weeks of class because I could not bring myself to leave my apartment. I am pretty ashamed but I don't care anymore.

I have strong opinions on books I've never read.

Kafka was a pussy.

Why does he talk a lot about hands and stuff?

>>9295951
He's responding to Moore's "proof" of the external world which goes something like this:
>Here is a hand.
>Here is another hand.
>Therefore, external objects exist.

Talk to an advisor, someone in your current department, someone in the math department

Are your math teachers Marxists?

>>9295859
Yea.

You'll benefit more from secondary literature on Neo-Platonism and Plotinus than Plotinus directly, at least at first. The Enneads are probably comparatively little-read compared to how much influence Plotinus seems to have.

If I were you I'd be prepared to read a lot of secondary literature and make use of diagrams a lot.

>>9295852
I mean even when I read an entry on him in History of Philosophy book I already made few diagrams.

> I have general understanding of Plato (read Symposium and Apology).

Great, another bluffer.

read brideshead revisited. if you're not screaming "just do it already faggot rich bois" at the book by the end, you're probably an analytic and already know the answer is witty and turing.

I would really like to know the reasoning behind the assertion that homo is better than hetero. How can something that produces life be worse than something that doesn't?

that's every good author since forever, you can't honestly think they were sucking cock for research like vollmann claims.

There are no sequels to the Bible, only fanfics.

No. Joseph Smith was a fraud.

>>9295702
Do recommend reading The Bible? I'm not religious at all.

People treat him as an entry level philosopher when he's actually closer to the endgame

>>9295712
the reverse is correct

>>9295734
You are incorrect.

Re-work the bit about the monster in the child's room, it's jarring, particularly the word 'their', also try gendering the child (he/she rather than it).

i love your opening line and i feel it could start a darker verse! overall i like it, keep it up!

15 if I have to take a shit

I'm just trying to get into his stuff now. Someone posted a really amazing short story here about a guy going on a quest in some fantastical land, to retrieve a key, or something?

What part of Dunsany's work is more like that? I picked up a book of his, but it seems to be more on the fantasy bestiary side of things.

What I liked about that original story was that it was kind of Borgesian without having its tongue welded to its cheek about it. It just went with it. Borges stories always seem like a Rubik's cube with a very specific point I'm supposed to take away about semiotics or some shit, it's too fucking "tightly wound" or something.

I just finished the Penguin volume of his stories (In the Land of Time and Other Fantasy Tales). I absolutely loved it.

>>9295840
His "Tales of Wonder" are like this. They are in the aforementioned Penguin volume. They include:
- "The Sword of Welleran" *
- "The Kith of the Elf-Folk"
- "The Ghosts"
- "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" *
- "Bladgaross"
- "Idle Days on the Yann" *
- "A Shop in Go-by Street" *
- "The Avenger of Perdondaris" *
- "The Bride of the Man-Horse"

* = especially similar to what you described

>>9295864
Thanks a lot my dude. That's over and above the kind of effort I was asking for.

Oh my god, Pepe is so cute here.

lol, I got one of those once. But the guy didn't even tear my work up (which is what I wanted), but he picked one sentence and then spent a few paragraphs about how my writing was garbage and for children. Welcome to 4chan, I guess.

>>9295610

Why don't you go ahead and shut your mouth, huh? Take it, college boy! * slaps * AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! You know I don't do anal...

Why?

He's a good time.

I mean, that's not enough to keep paying her anon, I'm sorry. I'm sure she'll find someone else, you won't go without tendies for long.
