This has a bit of a slow start doesn't it? I'm 2 hours into the audiobook and it's decent but where's the hook?

King didn't really know what the fuck he was doing until about the fourth book or so. That doesn't mean the later books are necessarily better, but at least at that point it has direction.

Why were almost all of the women in this story promiscuous, other than to increase Joseph's paranoia, and why did K. get so upset at his landlady for bringing it up?

It's improper, and K. is a very serious man.

It's about a young man in his early 20's, who's on his way home, traveling on a ship. (not the big ones, those you take for a 2 hour ride)
It was around 3AM, he was the only one who wasn't sleeping yet out of a dozen people. It being Late and all, caused his sexual desires to sky rocket. He turned to the right, what he saw could only be descriped as ''The meaning of Life'' in other words, Quite Literally the most perfect pair of Feet on earth. The whole golden ratio thing, the real deal.
What seemed like a Theophany to him that lasted for a thousand years, in the real world, only a few moments had passed. Was it the Hangover? Was it the time? It being late and all may have caused his obnoxious behavior to multiply. No, this wasn't ju-
Lads sorry, i got carried away
>tl;dr
>Man falls in love with a pair of Female Feet
>The woman who's feet belong to, severly falls in love with said Man, let's call him Harry.
>Man clearly only cares for her Feet, not even hiding it from her
>50 pages later, the Woman, who's name is... nah fuck it, the woman, having reached an insane level of jealousy, cuts of her own Feet in desperation/an attempt to get harrys attention, she was convinced that he was in Love with her, her character, her natural beauty, so this would shake him up and slap him back to reality
Harrys reaction is basically this
>He starts crying, leaning towards her, carresing her hair, he says the most pationate and deep ''Thank you...'' in the history of ever. Take her Feet and lives happily ever after
her last vision is that of harry Leaving her to die in her appartment.
So what do you think? Feet is the Aryans fetish and it's not even a niche. It could easily be a 110 page best seller.

it's hilarious.
- Stalin gives a speech, everyone applauds, nobody wants to be the first to stop clapping. they all clap for several hours.
- Secret police turn up to arrest a suspect. he's not home, so they arrest his innocent next door neighbor, a woman, and send her to the gulags.
i laughed and laughed.

as for accuracy, who can say? it's more credible than any of the shit Supreme Commander Orange Cheeto comes out with.

Hi anons,
Do you think that the bible is worth reading solely as literature? I am not religious (more agnostic than anything I guess) and have a fairly limited understanding of Christianity, but it is something that really interests me. Would it be worth reading the bible for someone like me, or would I be better off just researching the religion online? Pic unrelated.

It seems you're asking two different questions here. Yes, reading The Bible 'as literature' is absolutely recommended and worthwhile. If you want to learn about Christianity, however, and I'm sure many on here would disagree with me here, but you can do just fine with some sort of general, overview text/research. That isn't to say reading The Bible wouldn't help (or isn't recommended regardless), but I don't think it's essential.
>>
>>9288338
saying the Bible isn't essential to learning about Christianity is a hilarious statement honestly, on par with saying you don't have to do problems to learn physics, don't have to get into proofs to understand math, etc. etc.
don't be a lazy fag, if you wanna understand something then put the work in
>>
>>9288351
I don't need to study mathematics (do problems) to understand what physics is about, though. If OP said he wanted to become a Christian, I'd agree with you.

>"If you're doing it [masturbation] 20 times a day; if your primary sexual relationship is with your hand, something is wrong... You're running a movie in your head. You're having a fantasy relationship with somebody who is not real... strictly to stimulate a neurological response. So as the Internet grows in the next 10, 15 years, and virtual reality pornography becomes a reality, we're gonna have to develop some real machinery inside our guts... to turn off pure, unalloyed pleasure.... It's gonna get easier and easier and more and more convenient and more and more pleasurable to sit alone with images on a screen. Given to us by people who do not love us but want our money. And that's fine in low doses, but if it's the basic main staple of your diet, you're gonna die"
Well /lit/, was he right?

The supposed distinction between 'exploring the human condition/eternal truths' and 'politically didactic' prevalent in older literary criticism is a silly and false one, anyway. That isn't to say there isn't a hierarchy of loftier goals and explorations, of course.
>>
>>9284924
Do you mean the distinction between the concepts, or the distinction between works which "serve" those concepts?
If the former then fuck you

Peterson believes that Dostoevsky brought both sides of the argument in his novels. He did not make one side weak and his favored side strong in order to persuade the reader to agree with him. I'm assuming his attack of Frozen was that it does not do the same. That it makes one side weak and another strong in order to persuade the viewer.
