Why is there no woman Shakespeare? The closest you have is Jane Austen who basically just writes imaginary gossip.

We needed some time for feminism to pick up and the institutions to start giving women writers a chance. In the last year alone we have had Rupi Kaur, and Mira Gonzales. They will be spoken next to Shakespeare in 100 years.

I liked it, but I find his novellas Cannery Row and Tortilla Flat more enjoyable. Though it's a little bit messier, East Of Eden is his masterpiece and if you enjoyed Mice and Men you would like that a lot. Grapes of Wrath is commonly cited as his best work so you might want to try it out as well. I didn't like that as much as the others, though.

Good book! Do you think George did the right thing? Or should he have campaigned for better prison conditions? When is killing acceptable? Euthanasia?

Thought it was best to condense all of our John Green talk into one thread since he's our most discussed author.

Anyone read this series? Below is a little something from the book.
Alright The one thing that All That Is knew is that there was nothing else. And so It could, and would, never know Itself from a reference point outside of Itself. Such a point did not exist. Only one reference point existed, and that was the single place within. The “Is-Not Is.” The Am-Not Am.
Still, the All of Everything chose to know Itself experientially.
This energy—this pure, unseen, unheard, unobserved, and therefore unknown-by-anyone-else energy—chose to experience Itself as the utter magnificence It was. In order to do this, It realized It would have to use a reference point within.
It reasoned, quite correctly, that any portion of Itself would necessarily have to be less than the whole, and that if It thus simply divided Itself into portions, each portion, being less than the whole, could look back on the rest of Itself and see magnificence.
And so All That Is divided Itself—becoming, in one glorious moment, that which is this, and that which is that. For the first time, this and that existed, quite apart from each other. And still, both existed simultaneously. As did all that was neither.
Thus, three elements suddenly existed: that which is here. That which is there. And that which is neither here nor there—but which must exist for here and there to exist.
It is the nothing which holds the everything. It is the non-space which holds the space. It is the all which holds the parts.
Can you understand this?
Are you following this?

>Are u following this

Thats actually 'god' asking Neale Donald if he understands it
>>
>>9051420
Yes. Let me explain it to you this way:
In the beginning, that which Is is all there was, and there was nothing else. Yet All That Is could not know itself—because All That Is is all there was, and there was nothing else. And so, All That Is… was not. For in the absence of something else, All That Is, is not.
This is the great Is/Not Is to which mystics have referred from the beginning of time.
Now All That Is knew it was all there was—but this was not enough, for it could only know its utter magnificence conceptually, not experientially. Yet the experience of itself is that for which it longed, for it wanted to know what it felt like to be so magnificent. Still, this was impossible, because the very term “magnificent” is a relative term. All That Is could not know what it felt like to be magnificent unless that which is not showed up. In the absence of that which is not, that which IS, is not.

What are the best books for learning to understand classical music? (including more modern classical like Stockhausen and Ligeti and Xenakis and Feldman). I've always been intrigued by this music but never felt like I got a full grasp of it. Should I learn music theory or is it unnecessary?
