There is no greater motivation in life than wanting to tell mommy and daddy to go fuck themselves. Harness that.

Good news! Free will exists.
Now get to work and stop using early determined variables to dictate your life.
He that hangs himself is a virgin:
virginity murders itself and should be buried in
highways out of all sanctified limit, as a desperate
offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites,
much like a cheese; consumes itself to the very
paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach.
Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of
self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the
canon. Keep it not; you cannot choose but loose
by't: out with 't!
well, /lit/, why are you still a virgin?

>tfw read no books for over a month because I read one at a time and the brothers Karamazov is so fucking boring
>read less than 150 books in that time
Reading other people wank over how much philosophical / psychological insight this book has reminds me of what a pseudy exercise literature has become.
This book is horrifically boring. I can't bring myself to read and I'm only at about page 130 out of about 700.
Can someone explain what I'm supposed to get out of this? And if the insights are so profound, what are they? A third question: Is enjoyment ever supposed to be involved?
The cherry on top is that almost nobody would be praising this book if it was written today. And if it was written today and self published then nobody would read it and it would be mocked if it was read (>inb4 you dispute this). This shit would not happen in a medium / art form that wasn't close to death or dead. And I know I'll be mocked for using "enjoyment" (the E word) and that wouldn't happen with a healthy medium either.

You're too stupid to understand it, that's all. Go read something that you like.

Is this the work of a master baiter, or a shithead who moseyed into /lit/ somehow then decided to try out reading a foundational meme but "just didn't get it"? We'll never know, because either way nobody cares what you have to say.

If he didn't kill himself then, he would have fucking lost it when trump won. Probably take a couple people with him.
It is very sad though. I'd have bought it.

Hunter would have supported rand paul for the fucker was against corruption of any kind or the ability to be corrupt.
>>
>>9173724
Rand was probably the biggest disappointment of 2016. He's a sellout, not even half the man his father is.
I don't think Hunter would have been a fan of anyone running in 2016, but he definitely seems like he'd have been a Ron Paul man.

I need to rant about this shit. I haven't read a book cover to cover in 5 years and somehow I ended up reading this shit over 3 days.
I feel tricked. Halfway through I realized this book was more trouble than it was worth, but I trudged on reading all the fictitious footnotes and quotes from mock-critics in hopes that my patience would be rewarded by some mind blowing climax where everything gets tied together. But no, it just becomes more and more ridiculous and in the end the author blatantly destroys the "realism" of the universe that he so painstakingly created with all his bullshit footnotes.
I wanted a cool horror story about a transforming house with a maze and a minotaur. I got half a tedious, dry, ironically academic character study of a boring ass family and half a guy drone on about his sex life before he goes full schizo.

I disliked this book. Blue font and erratic formatting doesn't exalt the underlying writing to anywhere near praiseworthiness in my view.

>>just a bunch of disenfranchised people looking for a certain product
lefties, and people in the SI, did this as well under May 68 in France
that's probably part why Debord became so disillusioned and drank himself to death
I really recommend Michéa's The Realm of Lesser Evil and Lasch's The Culture of Narcissism as supplementary red pills.

You could try using google. It's live action role play. Normally it's referred to people that go to ren fairs and shitblike that.

Hello, fellow intelligent anime board posters.
I will be immigrating to the United States in a few months, and would like to know what books or resources are available to give me a basic overview of the GED and what it entails.
Thankyou.

What is the best language to learn? For both literary and career purposes. I'm 18 years old, I already know two languages (English and my country's native language, which is quite useless). I want to learn another one ASAP. What language do you recommend bros? I want a language that is moderately easy for a native English speaker to learn, that has a lot of quality literature available, and can benefit me in my future STEM career (though this is not as important as the literature). Thanks

French or Italian. They share a good chunk of their vocabulary with English, but their grammar will be tricky.
If you feel patrician: Latin or Greek.

>>9173335
just learn english better, it's the only language that matters. maybe japanese once you've mastered english.

I love short story collections they publish.
Also they're easy to hold because light and flexible.
Paper could be whiter though.

The fact that you buy a "fancy" notebook to sustain your vague fantasy of being a cultivated writer and an intellectual, who, you know, scribbles down REALLY DEEP stuff in his notebook, leads me to the belief that your first and last entry should be your suicide note.

If you can't muster enough attention to even choose a book to read, then perhaps you aren't cut out for reading. Try playing a game instead.
