Nisioisin > Murakami

Prove me wrong.

How old is this "old man"?

I read this book as a teenager, and I liked it. I read it recently, and I loved it.

It's a book that grows with you.

>>9182330
Middle aged I guess.

Oh, woe is me!

The ab-ject would thus be this intermediary position--neither subject nor object--for which the psychiatric term "borderline" would prove to be extremely useful. And, indeed, "borderline" came increasingly to function as a form of explanation for a condition understood as the inability of a child to separate itself from its mother, so that, caught up within a suffocating, clinging maternal lining, the mucous-membranous surround of bodily odors and substances, the child's losing battle for autonomy is performed as a kind of mimicry of the impassibility of the body's own frontier, with freedom coming only delusively as the convulsive, retching evacuation of one's own insides, and thus an abjection of oneself.

"philosophy should be simple, or not at all"

Pursuing anything is hedonistic behavior.

>>9182187
Because some people find the proposition "pleasure is the final Good" to be deeply unsatisfying, especially in comparison to virtue, duty, beauty, and so on.

>>9182191
>>9182192

Literature's just, never seemed rewarding enough compared to the alternatives, even for finding higher aspirations like beauty, or novelty.

>>9182158
no.
also, to get a more comprehensive view of Dostoyevsky's Underground Man you have to read Crime and Punishment.
he definitely took some jabs at everyone, no one was safe from critique, but it was written as a satire. You'd much much better understand Notes after reading C&P

I refuse to read any books about prostitutes. Or whore female protagonists. Was gonna read Notes From Underground but not too eager. I have it somewhere on my computer though. Must learn to not distance myself from a book if the characters don't morally align with my personal values. Ex: cheating. nononono

I know what you mean, my mommy doesnt let me read any literature with swear words.

amor matris subjective and objective genitive

his growth is his father's decline, his youth his father's envy, his friend his father's enemy.

What links them in nature? An instant of blind rut.

>>9182177
The cords of all link back, strandentwining cable of all flesh. That is why mystic monks. Will you be as gods? Gaze in your omphalos. Hello. Kinch here. Put me on to Edenville. Aleph, alpha: nought, nought, one.

Lolita. I was 14 at the time and had just found the love of my life, but the relationship begun entirely with me taking advantage of her sexually. So the ending where Dolores ultimately rejected Humbert Humbert tore my heart into pieces.

>but that book sucked.
exactly...bro, it fucked my shit up

its a meme. sun tzu lost the war while writting his book, its unfinished and outdated

>>9181958
shit bro it's so good, before I read it my infantry:chariot ratios were WAY off.
and I feel a little ashamed to admit it but I may have led one or two charges...uphill. *cringe* I know, I know.
this book is an invaluable well of information completely relevant to life.

>>9181972
I don't think it says anywhere in the art of war that you should be writing a book instead of waging a war, mister faggot.

Atheism is a spook, kid

>>9181736
He was against "subscribing to views." So, I guess if you "subscribe to them," you misunderstand them, and so are probably a "naive, arrogant, new atheist."

>>9181620

nice collection of overused and meaningles phrases you have there. mind if i burn it?

>>9181620
They read like you're trying to write poems, by which I mean there's no real substance at the centre of them, just things written 'poetically' i.e. with a thesaurus and an air of 19th century.

Use a kindle instead

>>9181724
t. amazon

I'd read whatever the fuck I want in public, and then I'd use the time you spend ruminating over what is acceptable to read in public to go over to your mom's house and stick my dick in her ass.

>>9181595
No, it's real. Asking if it's a meme to make yourself feel better about being a brainlet won't change that

>>9181896
t.reddit

>>9181896
Popsci is a meme category though. Its all style over substance and relies on word of mouth rather than quality to proliferate.
