Read something actually good and not the eternal meme's shitty plays.

Drop him and read Marlowe

>>9068019
Read Racine

>>9068006

Diplomacy by Henry Kissinger

History of the English Speaking Peoples by Winston Churchill

The Story of History by Will and Ariel Durant.

History of the Peloponnesian Wars by Thucydides

That's plenty to get you started.

>>9068006
that's outdated and no historian takes it seriously these days

>>9069747
what about mommsen's history of rome?

I don't think about it at all

>>9067909
You should though

>>9067918
You're pressuring me :(

If you don't write that way you aren't taken seriously.

Because it's building off stuff from the previous century which built off stuff from the previous century and so on for like 16 times, so it's just gonna get worse as time goes on

The Poetry Tree has a long been a growing and early has the lowest fruits been bought

That all sounds fine, but first I think we need to talk about the bonus situation.

The problem is space truckers aren't actually realistic. The amount of energy we're talking to propel a spaceship at reasonable interstellar speed quickly becomes retarded.

There's no way the people who regulate spaceships are going to let some space-muslim who keeps his head down to buy a spaceship and blow up a planet with it.

This is obviously a setting where space travel has gone beyond the realms of where we are today, sort of like the Aviation world in the late 1980s-1990s. It's established, refined, and mundane, but relatively young in the grand scheme.

Hell, no one was even piloting the Nostromo, it's all done automatically.

Kidnapped

One Piece

That's one pale pussy.

>"Do Christians think non-compatibilist free will exists"

What do you want to hear exactly? The scriptural answer is "no."

>>9067555
Wtf is non-compatibalist free will you fucking asshole

Blind swordsman sounds a little cliche-ish, but really, you should go for any idea that gets to write

>>9067497
Yeah I felt that it does seem somewhat of a cliche, but I wanted others opinions before I actually started to write it.

>>9067483
cool idea OP, going to steal this right now so you better start writing

Only two tattoos remained, one if you counted this one.

It never even existed in the first place.

I just realized, it is precisely (though there are more reasons obviously) a good book because even "smart" people like you, "dont "get"" why its a good book

>>9067398
haha you wanted to know what was the item, right?

>>9067365
Why don't you start?

>>9067369

I would just like to hear what people think about this book
I think it is an incredible book
So well researched and it slips in and out of reality and fantasy.
And i can't grasp the concept that he originally wrote it in frencj

>>9067393
