If you enjoy it, read it, nerd

Ask /lit/. The ones it recommends are pretentious cunts. Read the others.

Ok, then give me some suggestions

Not OP, but I don't know.

I am unfamiliar with this work.

I dont understand how mainstream Christians got to that point.

Mark 10
17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

The Trinity is obviously a second century construct.

lol all you people that have a staunchly negative view of it have actually read it, right?

>>9212427
I don't think it is important. I think it is a 3rd rate science fiction novel that only sold well originally because there is rape sex and sells well now because loopy people treat it like the maunderings of a mediocre SF writer are Deh Troooth

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu have more "self help" knowledge between the two books than the rest of the books in the world combined. Letters From a Stoic by Seneca is god-tier as well.

The two are related because they are about emotional intelligence and not really giving a fuck about things that don't matter. They're very chill philosophies, but many Western academics write them off because they are surprisingly practical and simple and are above the circle jerk of academia, they pretty much make the rest of philosophy irrelevant when you really absorb the two books/philosophies.

that isn't buddhist, but either way, you might have not meant to express that it was.

Also, does anyone have 'Continuing with the Christians'? Or anything else that moves after the Romans?

>What are the arguments for Sunni or Shia Islam?
Well, were you born in Iran or Saudi?

>>9209721
Read Ibn Warraq

Why do you want to join Islam if your knowledge of it is so limited that you'd have to read up on the differnet branches?

The books suck
Read Martin's short stories instead, 'The Sand Kings' is pretty neat

I read one a long time ago called The Meatman or Meathouse Man or some shit where people could control reanimated corpses and fight them against other 'controllers' in front of huge arena audiences. I think they also had reanimated dead hookers and the main corpse-fighter guy fell in love with one or something?

Crazy shit, and if nothing else it was original as fuck at the time. I think it was in some 'splatterpunk' anthology next to guys like Jack Ketchum and Richard Laymon, and it was at least a decade before zombies became as big thing with Brooks' WWZ book and the Dawn remake and 21 Days Later shit.

That said, the ASOIF books aren't 'shit', and the vast majority of people who say they are have never read the books and are basing their opinion on a television show and an addiction to (You)s.

>they're holding it for whatever reason
the only reason would be if it's a train wreck that needs severe rewriting. otherwise, why wait to rake in millions of dollars? publishing is a business.

Reading makes your tits and ass smaller apparently.

Amazingly enough I remember the artist for that particular work saying he did for a paid submission because that was some guys fetish.

not by a fucking long shot, get an apprenticeship or a straight-up job. Learn a craft and get as good as you can at it, saves you debt and time in the long-run.

Why should he read books by non-whites? Do you think he does this intentionally? Maybe he just isn't interested in books that just happen to be written by non-whites.
