Read interesting books

It's shit. Watch the movie if you want. It's also shit.

Agree, it really is shit. Read the Moers comics for the same thing 15 years ago, but funnier.

>>9197364
just watch the movie

>>9197367
I thought the movie was ok

Bump for interest. Libraries also tend to have a lot of photo books if you want somewhere to start

A lot of them. It depends on which genre/subject interests you. Landscapes? Start with Ansel Adams. Old Paris? Go for Brassai. Surreal b&w? Man Ray. Old groundbreaking work? Steichen & Stieglitz. Nudes and landscapes? Edward Weston. Nudist familes? Jock Sturges. Surreal family portraits? Sally Mann. Old fashion? Richard Avedon. Kinky Japan? Araki. Controversial? Robert Mapplethorpe. Overrated crap? Helmut Newton & Anne Geddes. Studio nudes? Joyce Tenneson. Old photojournalism? Bill Brandt. Underwater? Howard Schatz. God-tier weirdness? Jan Saudek.
Actually, start with Saudek.

when i drink gin i turn into gin gin ling, a child from lost times, i do weird shit and have fun with strangers. but then later i regret some things, some fights, some spits, some words...

psychedelics are better.

and what is dionysus supposed to be? A god of wine... so what is nietzsche trying to say? is he failing? It seems so to be honest, but who knows, im just a clown.

But in doing that I'm basically following your advice

>tfw Apollonion

Fat, but his beard is hiding it.
That's why fat people grow beards. It takes away from their fatness

HES REACHING INTO HIS COAT

>>9197125
He was all for sharing the wealth, but not for sharing the pies

A story about a boy that becomes a cock lusting trap.

Les contes du chat perché.

A story about a boy that discovers /b/ at 12 and becomes a cock lusting trap.

>implying I haven't done just that with the help of psychedelic drugs and lucid dreaming

You tools haven't even lived yet

read this when i was like 13, can barely remember the plot

Practice more. Some books are dense and hard to understand on-the-fly. Most aren't though.

>>9197054

i know for a fact u dont read very much when i read this

just read more and you will read faster

enjoy your reading but don't go so slow so as to be completely sluggish, i used to read at an obnoxiously slow natural pace. just step it up a little bit without completely compromising comprehension

>>9197054
Who cares how long it takes you to read a book nobody gives a shit just take your time

>>9196992
As far as authors go McElroy is relatively esoteric. Which means big publishers aren't going to be printing him; a lot of his books are hard to find.

>>9197022
Have you read Lookout Cartridge? Is it worth it for me to spend $90 on it?

>>9197035
I haven't, a friend of mine has. He says it's a very good book, but no book is worth spending 90 bucks on dude.

>>9196816
The Stranger, Albert Camus.

>>9196816
this >>9196823 is not a bad recommendation.
you can also try Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by Orwell ---the three of them are "memes" around here, but that doesn't mean that they're bad nor that you won't enjoy them. I did (years ago).

>>9196816
Currently enjoying the novels of Michel Tournier.
Modern revisiting of classic stories and characters like Robinson Crusoe with philosophical insights. Very pleasant to read and I don't like novels in general, rather essays and short fictions.

what

>>9196738
I use them for fiction and low stress books. I often listen to it while jogging or sleeping. For serious reading i still rely on books.

>>9196738
The subscription is too expensive for the a start. If they moved to the Netflix/Spotify unlimited content model then I'd be interested.

In terms of audiobooks, I mostly listen to lecture courses and non-fiction. Fiction I prefer to enjoy reading.

>>9196738
If you are lifting weights and need something to do for the 2-5 minutes downtime between sets, or are driving a couple of hours its fine. Otherwise plebius maximus

I get it, he's the ultimate robot and his poetry is good enough to justify his meme status.
