>that edition sucks though
why, I already have it so I'm fucked anyways

That's the best book of the meme trilogy. IJ is the worst, & this is by far the more interesting and fun read.

You need to know the OT genealogies and the Pauline epistles. You should know this stuff anyway otherwise ur a pleb

>>9242048
Nope. The narrative only covers the first three chapters of Genesis. And most of the content is, shall we say, less than canonical.

>>9242048
Everyone thinks they know the "gist" of the Bible. Read through it, again if you already have. Even if just for the mythology.

Because "tumblerite slacktivist groups" are not as powerfull as /pol/ pretends them to be. Publishing house are company, and they care more about profit than virtue signaling. Also the books you're talking about are older than SJWs.

>>9241793
Also "High Castle" is from like 50 fucking years ago and isn't about how cool the Nazis are

>>9241793
/pol/yp doesn't know they're both quasi-dystopian texts

In other words, it's dangerous stuff. Don't even try to drive on the stuff. You'll think you're driving perfect, (impaired judgment), and then before you know it you're unconscious and in a hospital or even worse, dead. Alcohol related deaths and accidents have exceeded sober accidents for decades and with each new generation, it just gets worse. Why hasn't the USA banned alcohol again you might ask since it's so dangerous? Well, we tried banning the stuff for public safety but it just didn't work. People turned alcohol into a black market of sorts and to be honest, when it was illegal, more people were drunk it seems. What's more is that alcohol is relatively easy to make. So easy in fact that a 3rd grader could mass produce the stuff if they were so inclined. Additionally, alcohol is more of a aquired taste. It tastes like garbage on most levels and if it didn't have any bodily effect properties, literally no one would drink the stuff, save the mad. Now, I'm not saying that there isn't any time at all to drink, because there is. Like when you celebrate something big, you know, at that point you should pop a bottle of champagne. Let the beer flow, be happy with friends, and be merry because good times and celebration are truly worth feeling good on every level. If you find yourself drinking all the time, then it loses its meaning, becomes an addiction, and then ultimately controls your life like you were merely a passenger trapped in a body of which alcohol guides. This is the sad effects of the stuff. Never forget, alcohol is a drug, and drugs can be addictive, dangerous, an can even kill you. If you drink too much alcohol too fast you can literally die. Seriously, I've almost died from the stuff and if I did, you wouldn't be reading this right now Chance. Another thing, there's this little society called Alcoholics Anonymous that operates out of literally every city. It's where people who are addicted to alcohol go to drink coffee, eat donuts, and talk about their struggles staying sober and off alcohol. For the most part, AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) has helped countless people kick the habit of drinking. Which is a good thing because nobody wants to be addicted to anything. Another thing worth remembering about the stuff is that while you're drinking, you may be susceptible to bad decisions. People have a tendency to be malicious while drinking, sometimes, some people do.

And this kind of thinking can and will land you in jail. Try to stay away from this behavior for your own sake. Now, don't take this the wrong way and don't look it as an excuse to engage in that kind of behavior but if you do find yourself in jail for any reason, I'll bail you out Chance and help you with your legal issues until it's resolved. So, if you're ever in that kind of situation, or think you're about to be in that situation, then call me or something, come over, talk to me before you mess up. And if you're in jail, be sure to make a phone call to me so I can get you out. That's a promise, I'll get you out.

What else should I add to inform him of the dangers and pleasures of alcohol?

The capacity to memorize is a key indicator of intelligence in my opinion. The stupidest people I've known, mostly women, can't remember a thing nor make any attempt to. In my case I memorize literally everything I experience. My genius is unbearable.

That's debateable.

Hamlet isn't as tied to high school as some of his other plays, IMO. A Midsummer's Nights Dream would be a better shout.

In any case: King Lear, although I prefer Othello. But even I must admit that BBC husbandos are only part of what makes a great work.

a lot of writers held shit tier day jobs

worth considering is if your job requires thought effort ie coding vs janitor etc

>>9241424
>Will a 9-to-5 job affect my writing?

Well for one how are you meant to have time to write between the commitment and exhaustion of wage cucking?
Has there ever been a great writer that produced works around such a job

>>9241449
