Yeah you're a first year. Find a hobby. I'm autistic and even i think I read about law too much with school alone.

Given that /his/ is practically brain dead, this board could be a better place to recommend history books.
I'll start: The Reformation in the Cities: the appeal of Protestantism to 16th century Germany and Switzerland by Steven Ozment

There is an astounding amount of classic LGBT literature out there. Wanting to read LGBT literature isn't a justification for reading fan fiction garbage which doesn't portray homosexuals in realistic lights at all. They just want to read trite fairytale garbage.
"Be the gay Shakespeare" indeed, the man was bisexual.
Want to read gay literature? Start with the Greeks.

So far it's nothing but pure edge. Does it get any better? I realize that Neet-she was extremely educated (he sure loves to show it but dumping latin everywhere for no reason) so his fedoratipping has some substance behind it, but it's still fucking obnoxious, all he does is shitposting about 2500 years of philsophy and claims that everyone but him is a retard. How do you approach philosophy anyway? Should I struggle through with the works in which the premises set by the author clearly contradict my beliefs to try and prove myself wrong, or there's a place where dropping is a good idea?

Clearly you don't have the will to power.
No, Nietzsche's brand of existentialism is pretty bland and selfish. His aphorisms were arguably the best part.
Kierkegaard is a bit more wholesome and intelligent if you ask me.

your entire question is posed in such a terribly arrogant way that I think you might not be ready for philosophy, let alone Nietzsche.

Compared to him Schopenhauer is a wishy washy happy chad.

That's literally Kierkegaard explaining why you should be clearly grounded in a higher power. It's like a bunch of brainlets crying and one person is like 'this is why I would cry if I were a brainlet'

I've recently developed an interest in ornithology.
What are some good books on birds? Preferably with details, pictures, a comprehensive work on the avian dinosaurs.
Leave links if you can, it's hard to find books on such topics on the net.

A modern classic if fiction.
How can anyone familiar with the history of philosophy still think that it's something akin to a scientific discipline that strives for truth? Philosophy is a conversation with tradition, and a framework for interpreting that tradition in light of current social reality.
Logical analysis and autism over symbolic logic is pointless, philosophical questions aren't "solved", they are useful worldviews that reflect our understanding of the world. Every notion progress is subjective to a specific tradition of philosophy.

The older I get the more I worry about what will happen when I die. Where does Christianity stand on shitposting? Is it okay since I don't mean any of it or should we stop? Asking for a friend.

So, /lit/, I think it's time we had a talk.. A talk about the great G.R.R.
Anyone up for a discussion about that series that has reached heights as great as Tolkien? Yes? Good. Well, let me begin...
What do you think the Khaleesi shall do once she 'returns', per se - as if Christ - to Westeros. Do you think, for the sake of parlance, G.R.R. is trying to resurrect religious ideas in his works? I may be an avowed atheist, but for me, these questions cannot be left unresolved. Sometimes, occasionally my curiosity - that thirst to know a writer inside, as well as out - takes over my better, reasoned self. And though this better self is apt to listen to the birdsong of Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, et al when it comes to that death-cult which is religion, I cannot help but be moved, nay transcended, by those stories of the Red Melisandre, the Old Gods and New... Let us discuss the theology of Westeros, and Known World. Please, let me know of your opinions, your knowledge on this matter... It will please me...

How is your reductionist plot summary relevant to my question?
>>
>>9130873
I hate it because I had to read it in my AP class.
Not sure if it's just me, but I immediately began to hate any book that a teacher made me read in high school. It's probably a good book, but I had prejudices against it when I had access to it, and by now it's not worth trying to affirm anything.
Quite honestly, I probably would never have heard about this book had it not been for that class.
