Absolute trash

Go do an online zodiac sign test, faggot.

>Your reading preferences reflect your personality.

Woah, who'd a thunk it

>>9962509
Rumi is shit anyway. Nothing of value was lost.

>>9962509
I'm pretty sure this is fairly common

>>9962553
Gee I hope not. Examples?

These sort of books assume there is only one kind of person, though... I guess the same could be said about Buddhism and stoicism
I think it is better to find your strengths and flaws by experience, and then develop them

>>9962471

there's not many books like that

I'd just read that one regularly

How To Start Living And Stop Worrying by Dale Carnegie is also good

First one is shit, which depreciates the latter books.

>>9962607
You have to be a cretin to read past the first one, so your taste is already proven to be shit if you go beyond it.

Interesting in starting this someday in the future. Is it worth reading at almost 30 years old?

>>9962439
you are so naive and innocent

>>9962435
Ray Comfort.

>>9962435
Pretty much the entire Western Tradition

>>9962435
Cajetan, Suarez, Newman (not directly tho), Boskovic, Maritain, Gilson, Garrigou-Lagrange, MacIntyre, Anscombe, Geach, Feser, Oderberg.
>>9962528
Not exactly. Hume and Kant for example had a very poor understanding of Aquinas and probably never actually read him.

If you have an android phone, you can use google books. upload the epub files to your google account using your pc and set them to be downloaded on the phone so you don't have to use mobile access

>>9962399
If you have an android phone, use FBReader

>>9962425
Is FBReader better than moon reader?

>>9962382
I read this for the first time when I was 13. Shit was so cash.

>>9962382
What did he mean by this story?

little off topic but has anyone read a similar story (wife killing) where the narrator trapped himself inside the wall with his dead wife in the end? Read it once somewhere and couldn't remember where it's from

not enough

Before it was only an hour or so but ever since I quit my job it's been like 4 hours of reading followed by a bunch of writing.

>>9962294
ive spent on here in the last complete year about 15 minutes, 10 since 10 ago/.

this place is as unsincere and inauthentic as ever

not a nice place to have a party, or to talk to cuties

i'd rather talk to my dumber and charmier friends
or play basketball
or get high and think about how much greatness there is in the world and why you ppl want to fuck it all

life is beautiful , do you see death yet, do you see life yet

sir! what is your handicap!

What do you think is interesting?

>>9962217

OP here, this feel won't go away

Yeah, Roadside Picnic is a fun scifi story.

>>9962211
Do not go in expecting anything like the movie. They have more or less nothing in common except for the setting and several characters. But it's still an interesting and imaginative sci-fi story with a much better ending than the movie imo.

>>9962125
Yes, the prose is generally uninspired but the themes explored are very interesting. The threat of artificial intelligence, man vs nature, man's inflated sense of power, nature vs nurture, the danger of hubris etc

>>9962125
Yes.

>>9962202
i have a problem where if the style is crap i'm blind to theme
i don't mind, especially

>>9962114
Philosophical analysis means a very thorough, straightforward and rigorous tackling of problems: analytical literature is almost always didatic and plainly expositive in form. A Nietzschean work, for instance, puts forth its arguments in a way more lateral fashion; literary devices are plenty and the conclusion might be open-ended. This difference in form alone makes it very difficult for analytics and continentals to estabilish a dialogue, with many ensuing accusation of obscurantism, lack of rigour, lack of nuance and positivism. I personally think analytic reads more like science/math than anything, while continental reads like literature. In conclusion, I think the disconnect is more due to the way they ask questions rather than the questions being asked

>>9962203
This... plus the strong dash of autism in many analytical philosophers.

i bet russell put his pipe in his butt

please

Bowden got me into evola and pound.

Started listening to his pod cast with Richard Spencer

>>9962053
He completely opened me up to the intellectual dimension of the "far-Right", if you want to use those terms, which I never even knew existed.
