I was on the mountain for a week, so what's our opinion on the whole NYT Bestsellers list debacle. Bad timing by trying to displace SJW blacky author, jews jewing jews, or is NYT finally plugging their exploit hole, or something else entirely.

I'm not trying to be judgemental, but if you're a weirdo posting on 4chan, I imagine that the nyt bestseller list has absolutely no relevance to your life.
Not trying to be superior here, just stating difference. I don't like country music, so the billboard top 100 country list isn't my go-to stop for new music.

I just want an outrage thread where people pat me on the back and tell me that I'm inherently superior to women, kikes, and niggers.

A volume is a collection of chapters or sections which composes a conventional book, which is itself a part of a larger collection of works.
It can be a used as a synonym for a book, but it can also describe a sequence of periodicals.

2:20 is when he speaks in a Shakespearian accent
>Shakespeare's sense of poetry is the greatest the world has ever seen!
>Shakespeare was, truly, the greatest master of the music of poetry!
And you say this having read Shakespeare outloud (or even more embarrassingly, with an internal voice) to yourself in whatever shitty modern accent you have, most likely American, probably nodding to yourself and congratulating yourself on your "deep" understanding of Shakespeare's poetics. ("yes, yes, quite sublime, yes") You have no idea what the "music" of Shakespeare is like, so stop pretending. Shakespearian English is supposed to sound completely different from what you think it sounds like. You may as well be reading Chaucer in pathetic modern English translation and pretending that you are appreciating the poetics of Chaucer.

I want to learn about US politics around the time of the nation's founding.
Ideally I'd want a single edition containing the Constitution, amendments, Federalist and Anti-federalist papers (or at least the highlights of both sets). Does such a thing exist, ideally in .epub format?

Check out the Constitutional Rights Foundation: They have tons of documents on that kind of stuff.
To start off:

surprisingly, barnes&noble publishes pretty much exactly this

To add, I'm a Britfag---are the anti-Federalist papers worth a look, or is there a reason they seem to be rather less well-known and revered as their Federalist counterparts? Are they more than just a historical curiosity?

-Marcus Aurelius meditation
-Miyamoto Musashi book of five rings
Start working out. Once you get used to your routine and have no problem folowing it, you should apply that discipline to other projects. Your laziness will disapear, together with your low self worth and self loathing, because the accomplishment of your routine will give you some selfworth. It will take 12-18 months until you will feel the effect.
Get rid of bad habits. Vidya, tv, to much 4chan, smoking, binge drinking, porn etc.. Helped in my casse a lot. Your gonna make t bruh!

I only mean to say that few authors write entirely in perfect lines, and that their novels are more than the sum of their parts. That one shouldn't worry too much about crafting each individual line because far greater writers have written bland prose here or there without failing to make something great in the finished product
Basically I'm saying I found some alleviant to my "perfectionism" and thought it might help others to see things this way. I understand how you might have read it as puffed-up, though, now I read it back to myself

Finally! Someone's talking about Mailer.
Was he a blowhard? Sure. Did he write too much? Maybe. That said, he had an intense passion for trying to getting to the root of Gilmore and, in a larger sense, the American "justice" system. If you finished that, proceed to Armies of the Night
