I never took him seriously.
Most of the time I couldn't even understand what he was saying through that accent and lisp.

Whatever, man.

>>9190937
Why? His jokes work very well as philosophical parables.

I think he regrets the fact he has become a big funny meme philosopher instead of a serious guy.

Ovid's Metamorphoses.

Blaise Cendrars has a collection of African folk tales. They're pretty fun. I don't remember the name though, I read it long ago when I was a kid and I don't have the book anymore. I don't even know if it's translated in English.

Grimms Fairytales

>Is doing a literature related Masters beneficial in job prospects at all?
teaching, academia. you can write copy or go into editing if you have connections. probably not a significant plus for much else.

Writing copy as in for media publications?

McKenna is such a fine line between insightful and just doped the fuck out

>>9190522
That's the fun though. Some of it insightful and certainly plausible, and some of it is just too far. He's good for the questions he poses, rather than the answers.

is that frog about to blow the other one?

>>9190492
I read the complete works in 3rd grade though

/lit/ is just full of political activist pseuds so nothing good ever gets discussed anymore

The writer was a closeted homosexual who used these books to work out some of his repression. so maybe

All That Is Solid Melts Into Air was really good and well-written.

One of my favorite books is Cultural Amnesia, a collection of short essays on the 'founding people' of current Western culture, it's a big book but amazing
