you need to read in between the lines, but how am i kiding keep reading your shallow literature.

>>9196769

i agree, it's my favorite book and i've read it five times. i consider it to be more of a mythology than a novel. you can see the mental forms as clear and sharp as a shadow on the moon. i think that a person of any virtue will be immensely moved by atlas shrugged.

her other shit is good too but i really consider this the best book i've ever read, and i've read an alarming amount of books.

Please recommend JR.

I could come tonight if she recommended JR.

Lynn could be a good name. Do you think she booktubes?

what is this service? i've never been to barnes and noble

>>9195662
I dunno, why?

I can't take anything done by a Marxist seriously.

>>9195683
Thats quite an intellectually novice perspective

I eat nothing but fruit for two weeks and collect the diarrhea in a bucket and write with my fingers.

Well Ezra Pound was a fine young man
Though possibly a bit of a dandy

And when it comes to writing things down,
You know, he was pretty handy

But remember this, you pretentious shits
With your books upon your shelf:

When he came, his dick went limp
Like everybody else.


- this is serious mum

Can one be moral without believing in the Trinitarian God?

Please be serious.

What condition is it in?

Does it have its dust jacket?

>>9190039
You should have it appraised. You got a photo of the actual thing?

>>9190049
It still has the selves yes, however, my grand father (or whoever actually had it lying around) was a heavy smoker. The pages have gone yellow due to the nicotine - and it has a very vague smell of smoke. My grand father did not smoke. Aside from that, it's in pristine condition.

a necessary evil.

I like listening to him speak (I also enjoy watching him sweat and slur his words while remaining somewhat elegant), but hate his writing. It's so fucking airy.

Now that it's played out people tend to lump him in with the edgy atheist meme, but they tend to forget that not to long ago it was a necessary voice.

His insight into politics was strong too. I don't agree with him on everything, but I liked that his views weren't dominated by party lines.

Can't pretend to be familiar with too much of his output, by in general I've found his political commentary interesting and his religious commentary trite. Plan to read some of his longform works one of these days.

>>9189909
I never once seen an original opinion come from his mouth.
He was a mediocre thinker who payed more effort towards how he expressed what he believed in rather than why he believed what he did. Hence his sudden jolting changes in ideology and intellectual mission triggered by seemingly arbitrary cicumstances

Pure rhetoritician, good for television sound bites and little else

>Atalanta
You mean athena?

No one wants to use your discord. No one is giving you a power trip when you realize how much power of moderation and censure is at your fingertips.

Trying to write Christmas-themed erotica desu. Tell me if you get a boner: http://pastebin.com/0pWkgH4h

how much longer are we going to have these thinly veiled "write about your feelings" threads? when are we going to have a blue board general discussion board?

just because you type out "write" doesn't mean it's literature related 2bdesu

>>9186189
This.

Sure, since a plastic fork is considered "art" these days

Yes.

>>9184109
No. Art is dead.

Shit was dribbling down my leg as though it was the words on the page that I was writing.

>I actually wrote this when I was 17 FYI

Hitherto, the apex of human verisimilitude could be said to be the inestimable discovery of the Garden of Eden, the invention of liberty or perhaps the sampling of such luridly appreciated works of art as sculpture, painting or song disseminated for all, or even more popularly in the works of Mighty Zizek, blessed be his name. But the zenith of humanity is yet on the horizon, only now rising unprompted in conjunction with the unfetterence of this, the most perfect manuscript ever called forth from the dim sinusoidal writhing of the mental serpent so fondly spoken of by Burton and which has issued this excessively penetrative form of the written word for easy consumption and dubious understanding, this Babylon, this inestimable message in a metaphorical bottle, the author’s clear and concise dispatch to the one fortunate soul in the future who will some day unravel the true meaning and as such fully comprehend the sheer rubicund incandescence of this most precious Gem. It is to you, unborn reader, that I, the inimitable Author, dedicate this missive, the last departure from a restless soul, a patchwork figure presiding over the fallow and lifeless wastes of creative endeavour, finally exhausted by this act of plunder, as if to say “Go no further, there is nothing left for you here”. And indeed, any attempt to undertake a creative project from this point forward is doomed to a most insalubrious suffocation by the towering shadow of my White Whale, myself being retroactively reborn as a modern-day Ishmael, chasing the sun in the penning of this superlative document of which humanity knows no equal. So read on past this mild harbinger of words to come and become one of the lucky elite, the philosopher kings of society whose minds have been set free by nought but the sheer and honest truth, risen above even the shoulders of giants through exuberant self-expression and prose. This will not be a pondering Epic Of Gilgamesh, but a prancing touchstone of uplifting trumpery, no Beowulf but a saga it’s equal none the less. Surely the wit and wisdom contained within is sufficient to cow even the most die-hard of cynics, as the modest Author’s humble genius is made transparent to you, slowly so as to avoid stunning and shattering your mind, yet nonetheless inexorably overwhelming in stature
