What are some good reads (preferably novels, not philosophical essays) related to existentialism / absurdism / nihilism.
I know those are 3 different philosophies but they all share things like lack of objective morality / lack of objective meaning in life / overcoming the absurd / etc.

WHY?! WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO WITH THESE JEZEBELS? All I want to do is come here for an asexual experience that will exercise my brain but I am constantly titillated by these vixens with their prodigious hips and provocative figures. Can I never satiate this thirst, will I ever know the touch of a woman and enter between her loins? Will my seed ever drip from her moistened hole?
Life is a constant hell. No wonder I resent women too.

Have you ever judged a book by its cover? If so, what book and what did you think? How did it turn out. I'll start.

The title more-so, I'm usually attracted to books with obscure and ambiguous titles

I'm writing things that, I hope, have actual literary merit. In time I hope to be recognized for my talent. I take some solace in the fact that a lot of great writers weren't instant successes.

I took a political alignment test (ethics, specifically) and I ended up matching 100% with this old bag of bones
Where do I start with Hobbes? Is there anything I should read prior? Is his work very difficult?

Ted wasn't right wing and you'd know that if you actually read his work and not the short critique of leftism that gets reposted on /pol/.

I'm planning on making my way through the bible for lent, but I don't have an annotated version. Is there a good online guide for it out there?

Read one of the plain-English translations. I like NLT. You don't really need a guide for it like you do with KJV.
>>
>>9188881
I have the NIV, is that any good?
>>
>>9188903
I had one around once and skimmed it, it seemed OK, kind of in between those extremes. If you skim a bit of it and it's not painful to absorb, go for it. My understanding is that NIV is what you're most likely to find in any random Christian's home.

Hey /lit/, can you recommend me some good stories about the topic of solitude in space?
Never been really into sci-fi that much, but I'm truly interested in this matter. If possible, I'd prefer those to be short stories, but novels are welcome too.

2001: a space odyssey
The sequels get progressively worse but Clarke does have his moments.
Also, if you're up for nonfiction, really the only book you need is "Pale blue dot" by carl sagan. It's a detailed tour of the solar system from the perspective of a lonely voyager satellite.

This one always struck me as a "trapped in/by your own mind" story although it's not specifically about isolation.

its fiction. its about multiple dimentions and time travel and kind of reminds me of a christmas carol in a way. its worth reading but i made the mistake of thinking it was 1 book. do youself a favor and think of it as a trilogy so you dont get burnt out. it man be overly descriptive at times and kind of boring for a harry potter/his dark materials type of tale.
i liked it though, if thats what youre asking. otherwise i think its worth like 28bucks at the bookstore near me

That cover is so fucking shit considering it's on Alan Moore's book. It looks like deviantart.

Why did the balrog of Moria fight Gandalf to death?
It was an intelligent creature and had no stated reason to relentlessly continue to try and kill another powerful Maia (who was perfectly fine with avoiding the fight and fleeing) for days.
