How much money do you think this guy makes with his stuff? If you want to read it, buy it! Or do you want to work for free?
Hey man, I would love to have this new TV set, anyone knows a store where I can get it for free?
Really guys, downloading intellectual property for free = murdering artists.

If I gave a shit I wouldn't be asking

Ya, it's hard to be excited about Salinger.
I'm interested in war literature that explains mass army combat. I've recently been trying to play a strategy game (pic related), but I don't understand at all the theory behind battlefield tactics.
To be clear, I'm not interested in modern warfare or squad-level tactics (I was an 11B in the Army with more engagements than I can count). I'm interested in the strategy used with battlefield formations starting in the medieval through to the civil war (I'm alright with firearms as long as its civil war or earlier).
So, what war literature do you suggest? To be clear I'm primarily interested in modern scholars analyzing military movement theory on outdated tactics. I would also be interested in source material from the eras.
>>9116111
This is very era and region specific, but Chandler's "the campaigns of Napoleon" is basically multiple diagrams and maps of every one of Napoleon's battles (multiple maps for longer or especially dynamic engagements) accompanied by a coherent narrative of the campaigns--if not a holistic picture of Napoleon himself, his politics, etc. The ebook is passable, but IMO the print edition is a must if you want to really understand the diagrams.
I hope it suits what you're looking for!
I'm doing a dissertation on the connections between military concepts and literature and how we can read lit thru military concepts. some of my reading list is:
Paul Virilio - pure war
Eric Schlosser - Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety
Peter Paret - Makers of Modern Strategy from Machiavelli to the Nuclear Age
John Keegan - The Mask of Command: Alexander the Great, Wellington, Ulysses S. Grant, Hitler, and the Nature of Leadership

i dunno if this helps, but books like michael herr's dispatches and i forget the author but the book is called the laotian fragments seek to try and emulate the experience of the vietnam war both formally and content-wise.
also read sven lindqvist's a history of bombing it does interesting formal experiments as well
what book is the biggest tour of force?
Infinite jest. Their was literality a movie about that fact called the End of the Tour. IJ symbolizes the cessation of all other tours.

Why is it that there is zero original gender critical literature written from a male perspective, but at the same time a phenomena of men feeling the need to talk over and "correct" feminist literature as if they're coming from a position of being more well-read in that area?
>>9115987
becourse women are fucking stupid idiots who belong in the kitchen and not in art or politics.
take the redpill and find out the truth that their all superficial worthless whores
>>9115998
what's up with numales resorting to sarcasm when they get all pissy and PMS?
>>9115987
Men aren't self-aware as a gender with interests and special, group-specific problems. They have them, but they don't stick up for themselves. Ironically this is part of masculine identity, to be above this (and so in denial about it).
Women will always win in these arenas because men can't complain about anything. So the narrative will always be that women get the short straw, even when they plainly don't.
I memed too hard you guys

Haha wacky! xD you definitely fit in with us in the cool kid 4chan club now!!
This is how I write. After a few minutes of writing I will have to step, since my hand, wrist and forearm will be to sore to continue.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix it, and how much does it take to get used to a new hand position?

Come on /lit/! This a serious handicap when I'm trying to produce good literature. Help me!

Did he say anything orginal or innovative? It just seems like absurdism is a rephrasing of shit existentialist philosophers had been saying for long before him
>>9115545
That's because you're making the usual mistake of thinking he was a philosopher, he even admitted this, that he was a writer.
My pseud friend loves the fucking Stranger but hates Shakespeare
He's as much of a faggot as he sounds like
Also thinks Stranger is inferior to Moby Dick
Like holy shit

Redpill me on Beowulf, pseuds. Is it worth reading again?
>reading again
>again
If you've already read it are you not informed enough to make that decision by yourself?
>>9115213
Yeah to your kids.
>>9115213
Beowulf is cool, if we're talking about the Old English poem that is
however if we're talking about having read one of the modern retellings of the story, then no, it isn't worth reading again
Is there any bigger pseudo-scientific claptrap than neoclassical economics? Why are you still buying into this shit?

What was he meaning to imply with this statement?
Also, wouldn't Smith have been greatly against fiat money?

Nietzsche seems overly concerned with how sexless philosophers were at the time. Was he right?

>>9114628
He was basically a Marxist. As Marx said the point of Philosophy was to 'interact' with the world, Nietche was commenting on the distant and reserved ivory towerness, instead of being down in the trenches of the historical process, fucking and eating the flesh of false prophecy!
Did it influence his philosofy being gay?

Of course. It's a mental illness, try the redpill
