I don't remember reading the narrative voice saying that he represented an entire race, so no

>becomes huck's friend by the end, a much better one than tom
>huck saves him from numerous slavery-related misfortunes
>Jim has a good heart, just suffers from a lack of education
Yeah Mark Twain was known as "The Black Death" in his day because of the sheer number of blacks he massacred

sage and report.

Nice to know you live near Notting Hill, though. I'll be checking out the stations nearby.

Nice literature thread you got there friendo :)

How long has this meme been running? Only returned to /lit/ a week ago and I've seen three different versions already.

He killed Basil; come on, now

Who else here agrees with Sir Henry except the masturbatory, overindulged hedonism and views on polygamy? Other than that he is essentially one giant red pill.

After Basil demanded to see the painting (which he ultimately had no rights to, since he had transferred ownership of it to Dorian) he had to be put down or else Dorian would be ruined. It was an act of self-defense.

The Old Testament has plenty

The Last Incantation - Clark Ashton Smith

Who's dat cutie?

>>9944920
Of course he was. He was a stupid, sad old man who had never had good pussy in his life.

>>9944920
that's a very sexually charged cover. everyone always forgets about the "love story" in 1984

> that bdsm guy staring him down
> sexy minx with all that cleavage and the words "ANTI-SEX" on her button

>>9944920
Dude I literally wrote that in another thread

1984 is so wrong cuz that.

The first half and last 20 pages should just be reprinted as the entire book.

i maturbated to that pic a couple times

>>9944878
I brought that pic up in high school class and was bullied for knowing about such things.

>>9944896
bad luck.
I was stupid enough to look up mr. hands in class and I didn't get bullied.
that was in the first class of my life I didn't suffer horrific bullying in, though, so lucky me.

I want to start a blog centered around geopolitics, would like advice which blog-hosting websites are better than others.

I checked out the website "medium" but it's offputting because it seems fundamentally structured to become a hivemind. I'd prefer if my blog was kept for better or for worse private except to those who are specifically pointed there through a link referral or such. I do not like, you know, how on medium or twitter for instance a post may "trend" and expose to others.

It's not that I don't want a large base of readers, but I don't want people who aren't interested in the topic at hand finding my blog and criticizing me for whatever reason (this blog would be fairly neutral and I don't want partisans mucking it up).

Thanks for any advice or guidance.

huh. so he's like a japanese dfw?

>>9944809
He's like a Japanese Liberace but dressed less flamoyant but equally gay, annoying and self indulgent. Mix that with romanticized quixotic teenage-style mix ups over violence and beauty and BAM. There you go.

>I recently began diving heavily in literature and philosophy. how can I not become a high culture jackass/elitist pretentious asshole

Just don't feel the need to talk about it in situations that don't warrant it. Also realise that those subjects are edifying but not fun for others. Life is short so seek pleasure but don't seek to maximise pleasure all the time like some Instagram meme.

>How can I not become a Baudelaire fanboy chasing attractive women

Nah. Do this. Absolutely 100% do this.

I've always been self conscious to never be outwardly pedantic (or at least I think so). I meant, how can I avoid turning pretentious inside

sorry, i don't speak german so i don't know what it is

>>9944680
I read it twice ish. Although it's filled with great philosophical statements. Including that you shouldn't blindly believe or build on false statements. I didn't get a biggest part of it. But I think it's well worth the effort.

>>9944688
Finished your colouring book I see

>>9944680
I read it and it gave me an appreciation for self reference and also the patterns which seems to show up all throughout nature.

I plan to read it again but, do slower with an intent to learn more about the subjects he talks about. Using this book as your guide you could wind up in some pretty interesting places.

And no, you don't need any mathematics.

DUDE

>he has a book on peron

Iv been interested in Peron and his ideology for quite some time but have never have found a good place to research

Is it any good?

>>9944670
Look at the rest of his books and guess.

>>9944562
I'm like that, too. But usually think or fantasize about what I just read. That's why I don't really mind.
