What's the best reading position? What do you think of pic related?
Best is lying down on one side.

needs more stomach support if she's not tubs. good way to get back ache that. personally, semi prone.
Sitting down (preferably with back support: think of sitting with your back to a tree).
Knees up, book resting on knees (or on a bookstand which rests on your knees).

Viola is such a beautiful word despite being the meme instrument.
How can an atheist recover from this book?
>>9928070
what's the problem? ecclesiastes is borderline apatheist, if not crypto-atheist. it sits so poorly with the christian tradition that many people want to make its inclusion in the OT ironical, or for didactic purposes, with the 12th chapter 'showing up' the teacher for his 'false wisdom.' the book straight up claims that god's will doesn't matter, and that man is just an animal.

What is that cover? Is it original? What is the name, if not?
Sorry, I don't know anything about art.

Never read the Butler did they?
At this point, who else is semi-ironically on /TeamChina/ ?
Hi /lit/. I want to compile as much Dave meme-orabilia in one thread. Kinda like the Ransom Center but memes instead of Sierpinski gaskets and annotated books on film theory.
Having such resources in one place will massively benefit /lit/, I'm convinced.
I hope you're not planning on using this for irony's sake.
lads this is the 2010's meme trio or the only books you should read from this era.
The nix - nathan hill
The instructions - adam levin (dfw jewish son)
Jerusalem - alan moore
dishonorable mention goes to a little life by yanguaria hanyanarya

Ok /lit/ so I just started getting into reading this summer and I am now done with the Greeks, How to Read a Book, the Romans, the Sumerians, the Holy Bible (KJV), every page on the wikipedia about whales, and Shakespeare.
What else do I need to read before I'm ready for Moby Dick?
You're already ready for Moby Dick. If anything the whale research is a detriment, as much of it works on how little was known about whales.
What would you say it's the mark of a work of art that coming from the lowest of society makes it into academia's taste?
When some experimental piece comes into play, what's the difference between "the king's new dress" and something of true meaning?

Please put together a coherent post next time, thank you

>What would you say it's the mark of a work of art that coming from the lowest of society makes it into academia's taste?
No, all academia is full of retards peddling the behemoth along for career purposes. They have nothing substantial to say about anything.
>When some experimental piece comes into play, what's the difference between "the king's new dress" and something of true meaning?
"true meaning"? What kind of vague, meaningless shit is this? This is a non-question, true meaning doesn't exist, if you mean something unique then what makes it unique is that it hasn't been done before, obviously.
As the other poster said, put together something coherent next time. It's like you tried to sound as pretentious as possible without actually saying anything, very much like academia.

Why did she have to mess with Pepe?
Jee, people didn't want to vote for a creepy, dead-eyed, sociopath and went for the charismatic guy instead. That's what happened. Big surprise.

what did Hemingway mean by this?
Then they were together so that the hand on the watch moved, unseen now, they knew that nothing could ever happen to the one that did not happen to the other, that no other thing could happen more than this; this this was all and always; this was what had been and now and whatever was to come. This, that they were not to have, they were having. They were having now and before and always and now and now and now. Oh, now, now, now, the only now, and above all now, and there is no other now but thou now and now is the prophet. Now and forever now. Come now, now, for there is no now but now. Yes, now. Now, please now, only now, not anything else only this now, and where are you and where am I and where is the other one, and not why, not ever why, only this now; and on and always please then always now, always now, for now always one now; one only one, there is no other one but one now, one, going now, rising now, sailing now, leaving now, wheeling now, soaring now, away now, all the way now, all of all the way now; one and one is one softly, is one longingly, is one kindly, is one happily, is one in goodness, is one to cherish, is one now on earth with elbows against the cut and slept on branches of the pine tree with the smell of the pine boughs and the night; to earth conclusively now, and with the morning of the day to come.
