Just watch the movie it's better than the book comparable to others in their field

I'd tried it once. Got to page 200ish and quit

King gives most of the climax away within the first two or three chapters. Then expects you to be scared of a fire hose.

How many generations removed does it have to be before fucking your descendants is no longer incest?

I dont know, but dude has his great grand kids fuck, becomes woody allen with a daughter wife, and invents fucking time travel so he can fuck his mom

>>9205531
that is the problem with living for a very long time. eventually, a significant portion of the population will be related to you in some way.

my biggest problem with Heinlein is how his characters so often break their balls to travel to another star system.. in a ship that can travel faster than the speed of light.. and as soon as they land.. they break out the donkey and the moldboard plough and start farming fucking Okra. like it's Missouri, 1902.

deleuze or debord or butler or baudrillard are all good candidates imo.

Every gay person I know loves him, so yes, I guess he is.

Idk, but I don't think he'd be able to resist my cock though

You'll burn through it. Have a fondness for ol' Jacques Barzun. Gives little critiques throughout on the historians he admires. Good source for other books, and helpful-lite on those 500 yrs, as well.

>>9205166
yeah it was pretty decadent.

>>9205207
This. It's a really good book.

talk abotu synchronicity. (or maybe bader meinhof?) i was just reading this in the library yesterday. what's the critical concensus on georgism? seems like a nice philosophy for anyone who doesnt already own a land monopoly

>>9205160
This is a great point. I don't believe it's about whether you have it or not, since anyone with a lot of money can give it away, the message is one of social philosophy.

Honestly, without privatization of land, it seems like all increase in productive capacity goes to the laborers. Of course, economists like Ricardo, who fully believe the margin of cultivation to be something static and any increase in productive efficiency accruing to the capitalists who use them, would disagree with this notion.

But what is ultimately interesting is whether or not it is TRUE. Simply put, I would like to see some empirical evidence from both sides. I would like to air on the side of Geoism rather than Ricardianism, but it seems to me economists like Keynes side with Malthus, believe it or not.

Overall I think his social philosophy is profound. It's a game changer, this book, and turns the bilateral tug of war on its head. But it's something that Adam Smith complained about, so it must have been a problem for at least two and half centuries-- landlords accruing excess monetary output.

No, you know what, this has been going on for as long as private property and tribal warfare existed, the feudal barons used to hoard food as evidence of wealth. The message is timeless: a progressive mentality that even a wholesome God would want his civilization to have is this: de-privatize land.

That doesn't make any sense, even if you honestly believe knowledge and intelligence can be separated. Newborn infants' brains are happy sponges, but massively unformed. They're missing most of the pathways to even process the tests we use for intelligence.

Reading this and looking at that cat pic made me kekkle a freckle desu

>>9205051
lol i can understand the whole world right in my room thanks to the internet.

i dont even need to have sex.

So do people just send shitty pics like OPs to send a small message in Snapchat? Like, unless you got a pic, just send a regular message, right? I knew a girl who would snap her reaction to what I said, or what she was saying, when we talked and it just seemed retarded cause I'd just text type her back.

>>9205108
yea. i believe its a result of a normies desire for a snapstreak, when two people snapchat each other for a consecutive amount of days, makes them feel achieved i suppose. wouldnt judge it too much

>>9205048

read backgrounds on his novels. find one that sounds interesting to you. read it. decide if you like it. read others if you want. they are quick reads despite length.

By day she woos me, soft, exceeding fair:
But all night as the moon so changeth she;
Loathsome and foul with hideous leprosy
And subtle serpents gliding in her hair.
By day she woos me to the outer air,
Ripe fruits, sweet flowers, and full satiety:
But through the night, a beast she grins at me,
A very monster void of love and prayer.
By day she stands a lie: by night she stands
In all the naked horror of the truth
With pushing horns and clawed and clutching hands.
Is this a friend indeed; that I should sell
My soul to her, give her my life and youth,
Till my feet, cloven too, take hold on hell?

The World, Christina Rossetti

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang 's my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o’ need,
While thro’ your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi’ perfect sconner,
Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o' thrissle.

Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Fine selections. This latter must be Burns, although strange to say I'm not familiar with it. I'd post one too, but I am not in the position to do so right now. Great to read while on the job. Homely, humble, quiet, lovely...
