Liberalism is cancer by default, true enlightenment comes from a wise man powerfully dictating the rest of the world

People are naturally evil and stupid, giving them freedom was a mistake

Who ever said that ?

The only time I've seen it mentioned here is when I was recommending it to someone. It's a great book.

Some folk don't like Steinbeck because he's a socialist and it shows in his work. I don't think I've seen anyone say he's bad in any technical sense.

How well does something as visual as kung fu work in something as non-visual as text?

Shut up, little bitch

Any light novel with illustrations you like

What are you interested in? From/about what period? And in what topic? War? High society? Adventure? Emotional drama? Humour? History?

Personally I like Bleak House or David Copperfield by Charles Dickens for their rich plots, Henry Rider Haggard (She, King Solomon's Mines) for the derring-do and adventure, Mark Twain (Life on the Mississippi, Roughing It) for the humour. Read Jane Austen or Emily Bronte (Wuthering Heights) for society and drama.

Get a job. Get a useful major in community college. Go to the gym. If not literally kill yourself. also shave your fucking neck dude be presentable

Yeah the main character is basically a robot pre internet.
It's pretty funny, especially if you like racism. There's a black character called Jones and the authors portrayal of him had me dying

The Ten Indications of a Woman’s Sexual Satisfaction, as noted by Su Nu:

1. Her jade hands holds his back, the lower part of her body moving. Sthe sticks her tongue out licking him, trying to arouse him. This indicates that she is greatly aroused.

2. Her fragrant body is supine and all her limbs are straight and not moving and she is breathing hard through her nose. This indicates the she desires him to resume his thrusts.

3. She opens her palms to play with the sleeping man ‘s jade hammer and turns it around. This indicates that she is hungry for him.

4. Her eyes and brows are flickering and her voice utters guttural sounds of playful words. This indicates that she is greatly aroused.

5. She uses her two hands to hold her feet and opens her jade gate wide. This indicates that she is enjoying it greatly.

6. Her tongue sticks out as if half-asleep or half-drunk. This indicates that her vulva is anxious for deeep and shallow thrusts and she wants them to be done vigorously.

7. She stretches her feet and toes and tries to retain his jade hammer inside her but she is not certain in what manner she wishes him to thrust. At the same time she murmurs in a low voice. This indicates that the tide of Yin is coming.

8. Suddenly she has what she wants and she turns her waist a little. She perspires slightly and at the same time smiles. This indicates that she does not yet want him to finish because she still wants more.

9. The sweet feeling is already there and her pleasure is mounting. Her tide of Yin has arrived. She still holds him tightly. This indicates she is not yet completely satisfied.

10. Her body is hot and damp with perspiration. Her hands and feet relaxed. This indicates she is now thoroughly satiated.

chiThe Yellow Emperor addressed a question to Su Nu saying, "My ch'i [energy] is weak and out of harmony. There is no joy in my heart and I live in constant fear. What is to be done?" Su Nu answered:

All debility in man is due to violation of the tao of intercourse between yin and yang [the two polarities in all dualistic phenomena]. Women are superior to men in the same way that water is superior to fire. This knowledge is like the ability to blend the "five flavors" in a pot to make delicious soup. Those who know the tao of yin and yang can fully realize the "five pleasures" [of the senses]; those who do not will die before their time without ever knowing this joy. Can you afford not to view this with the utmost seriousness?

The Yellow Emperor said: "I wish to hear of the advantages of sex without emission." Su Nu replied:

One act without emission makes the ch'i strong. Two acts without emission makes the hearing acute and the vision clear. Three acts without emission makes all ailments disappear. Four acts without emission and the "five spirits" are all at peace. Five acts without emission makes the pulse full and relaxed. Six acts without emission strengthens the waist and back. Seven acts without emission gives power to the buttocks and thigh. Eight acts without emission causes the whole body to be radiant. Nine acts without emission and one will enjoy unlimited longevity. Ten acts without emission and one attains the realm of the immortals.

ALL FUCKING BORGES

i still dont get this picture. like, ive read plenty of borges and "Author of the Quixote", but dont see what the humor is other than the novelty of debasing the bee-movie meme to the level of Borges

>>9969598
anything by henry james, anything by Joyce, Virginia woolf, Jane Austen

>>9969600
Still haven't read anything by Henry James. What do you recommend? Big Woolf and Joyce fan.

Pic-related is a bit of a surprise for me. I was always nervous it'd feel like genre fiction, but the prose is phenomenal and Grendel feels genuinely alien.
