That sucks man I'm sorry. I hope that you keep at practicing English

>>9923277
That's a powerful feel anon

>>9923277
okay im curious. what's your native language?

also if you are literate enough to shitpost i'm sure you could start on some twain or hemmingway

différance

i don't know, you tell me

>>9923247
That's actually a good question. The answer is: some people don't automatically auto-correct. For some people, it messes with their brain, as they can't figure out the right meaning. Plus, it shows care when writing.

>>9923233
Other novels by Bolameme (aka mariachi pynchon) and the fags he namedrops all the time

>>9923233
I don't think I've found anything yet that wasn't dated that compared to this novel. It's one of my favourites too anon. Most novels I think that compare usually only bring with them a few elements that Bolano includes amongst others.

Cesar Aira's The Musical Brain.

Have you read Rayuela

To do away with subvocalization is silly. Words have a music to them and a good writer takes advantage. You can't speed read Shakespeare. And why would you want to? If you're reading something at 5000wpm it's probably not worth reading at all

>>9923223
Speed reading is only good if you're reading newspapers. If a book is worth reading in the first place you're not going to enjoy it by speed reading

How the hell do people even retain ideas in the book through speed reading? I tried that shit and it all seemed like just word recognition.

>>9923208
It's for children, but it's bretty gud as far as that goes.
I think he might have also written some socialist genre fiction too, but I might be thinking of something else

>>9923231
>It's for children

How so? Is it hemmingway-tier?

>>9923259
delete this you fucking faggot

>>9923154
Searle got his ass handed to him by known pseud Derrida. Deleuze wrote a obscurantist defenses of baby boomer yuppie artists.

>>9923154

It's not a failure, it's an interesting viewpoint that isn't the end-all theory of everything but something that it's just useful to be aware of even if for the sake of expanding your intellectual awareness like Stirner etc.

>>9923148
>writing in your book
Wtf

This is what I used in college:

Draw a small arrow in the margin pointing to an important passage

Then use the blank pages in the back/front of the book to make your own index with the page number and a short note.

>>9923152
lots of people do it

personally I just underline important parts and annotate general concepts once in awhile

Only a fool can "climb the dominance hierarchy" in our world. Are you a fool? If you aren't exhausted, you probably are.

>>9923122
lmao shutup faggot

>>9923122

Faggot, also a pseud, but primarily you are a faggot, probly fat

>>9923098
Hegel.
I just went straight to Fear and Trembling and it went well enough. Kierkegaard's works do use the dialectic quite a bit, though, so now I'm going back and hitting up Hegel so I can understand everything properly.

>>9923098
The fucking bible

>>9923134
unironically this

He's pretty good. The Hunters is one of my favourite novels.

"It was the Autumn of 1958. Their children were seven and five. On the river, the color of slate, the light poured down. A soft light, God's idleness. Like a line in a letter which makes one stop.

Nedra was working in the kitchen, her rings set aside. She was tall, preoccupied; her neck was bare. When she paused to read a recipe, her neck bent, she was stunning in her concentration, her air of obedience. She wore her wrist watch, her best shoes. Beneath the apron, she was dressed for the evening. People were coming for dinner.

She had trimmed the stems of the flowers spread on the wood of the counter and begun to arrange them. Before her were scissors, paper-thin boxes of cheese, French knives. On her shoulders there was perfume. I am going to describe her life form the inside outward, from its core, the house as well, rooms in which life was gathered, rooms in the morning sunlight, the floors spread with Oriental rugs that had been her mother-in-law's, apricot, rouge and tan, rugs which though worn seemed to drink the sun, to collect its warmth; books, potpourris, cushions in colors of Mattise, objects glistening like evidence, many of which might, had they been possessed by ancient peoples, have been placed in tombs for another life: clear crystal dice, pieces of staghorn, amber beads, boxes, sculptures, wooden balls, magazines in which were photographs of women to whom she compared herself.

Who cleans this large house, who scrubs the floors? She does everything, this woman, she does nothing. She is dressed in her oat-colored sweater, slim as a pike, her long hair fastened, the fire crackling. Her real concern is the hear of existence: meals, bed linen, clothing. The rest means nothing: it is managed somehow. She has a wide mouth of an actress, thrilling, bright. Dark smudges in her armpits, mint on her breath. Her nature is extravagant. She buys on impulse, she visits Bendel's as she would a friend's, gathering up five or six dresses and entering a booth, not bothering to draw the curtain fully, a glimpse of her undressing, lean arms, lean trunk, bikini underpants. Yes, she scrubs the floors, collects dirty clothes. She is twenty-eight. Her dreams still cling to her, adorn her; she is confident, composed, she is related to long-necked creatures, ruminants, abandoned saints. She is careful, hard to approach. Her life is concealed. It is through the smoke and conversation of many dinners that one sees her: country dinners, dinners at the Russian Tea Room, the Cafe Chauveron with Viri's clients, the St. Regis, the Minotaur."

What do you think he was wrong about?

Additional: Nihilism is a sickness, but how is nihilistic thinking inaccurate?

>>9923064
Yes, everyone else

He predicted a lot of the major events and themes of the 20th century, and early psychoanalytic fundamentals

Itt people who haven't read beyond good and evil

>>9923039
They don't. /lit/ right wingers are reporting your lower quality threads. Read Plato

>>9923049

Heidegger has a better approach to metaphysics.

How long ago was Peterson writing about Marxism and postmodernism? Because what he says about those things echoes very much what the alt right says about them.

>>9923046
Mainly because they have copied whatever Peterson said about them and just mixed it into their le kek internet personas.

we used do caesar's bello gallico in school. the books looked like how shakespearean english is annotated, with only the extremely rare words translated. pretty easy since he mostly talks about the same shit but good grammar practice

>>9923025
There are schoolbooks entirely in latin, specially for learning it progressively.

>>9923035
Yeah, but I am talking specifically about classical or medieval works.

I am already done a few of the cambridge latin course books and started looking through latin per se illustra exercises.

I've used Ia writer on my phone.
