To busy working on improving AI anon.

because I am not a fascist untermensch

>dude technology lmao

Might as well read Sam Harris.

I'm single. Mostly because the only girls I'm in a position to meet are total plebs. I actually ended my last relationship almost entirely because I ended up hating her because she was, for lack of a better term, a fucking pleb. I honestly wish I could even meet a pseud who at least understood the value of being well read.

>>9890196
I ended my last relationship because she decided out of the blue to get tattooed on her upper breast. Like what the fuck, man. She was pretty normal before that, too.

I think the only thing my GF reads is twitter. Yes I do resent that

>>9890082
no

what was published was not even her diary anyway, jews are so pathologically unreliable when it comes to recording events that you need textual criticism even on a 20th century girl's diary

I imagine stuff like that goes on all the time. I mean, I don't give a shit. If I was dead you could bang me all you want. I mean, who cares? A dead body is like a piece of trash. I mean, shove as much shit in there as you want. Fill me up with cream, make a stew out of my ass. What's the big deal? Bang me, eat me, grind me up into little pieces, throw me in the river. Who gives a shit? You're dead, you're dead!

I thought it was pretty good...I mean....not like great.

I think the whole thing was, "OMG! It's a comedian who actually wrote an actual novel type book, BY HIMSELF!"

Like yeah....I mean...considering that it's good, but it's not an actual great funny book.

Haven't read it but I think this will be the first time I'll go with an audiobook.

>>9889203
I actually started reading it, went a number of chapters, and after an hour or two decided to get the audiobook and read it at the same time.

Great decision. I was reading it in his voice anyway, so it was even more enjoyable like this. But I wouldn't go with the audiobook alone, for the nuances.

>>9889202
It just gave me this huge HST vibe. Funny enough, there's an HST thread on the first page right now too, but a couple of days ago, when I was reading the chapter where they were driving to Vegas early on, I just couldn't fight off that feeling. And of course, that stayed constant to the end.

Out of the books I've read this year, I'd place it on third, after Laurus and The Master and Margarita.

a/v is bottom feed

Because that's empty and not fulfilling.

>>9889034
The range of emotion experienced from consumption parallels and, in some cases, surpasses those that seek the usual walk.
>>9889037
What makes improvement fulfilling? It seems like it propagates that very problem: you will never be fulfilled unless you do A, B and etc.

The Zik has never been wrong about anything.

>>9888990
he's an ugly sophist that pretentious college students think is on the cutting edge of culture. his pomo appeal propelled him into fame, if you want to call it that.

it doesn't get any better than that tho

Book of the New Sun

Why must you torment me so with these Jezebels??

The thought of polyamory makes me sad. I want nothing but a single qt for myself, and I expect her to not want another man besides me. Is that so unreasonable?

>>9887628
>Is that so unreasonable?
No, different people want different things. I enjoy the concept of polyamory. I'm asexual, so my ideal relationship is two best friends that love me, and can have sex with each other. But I'm serious about the books.

>>9887633
That's just a classic relationship + you as a friend; not even polyamory.

Nothing too exciting, I finished the Iliad a week ago and enjoyed it enough to warrant the purchase of the Odyssey, plus it was only $3.50 at Chapters. I was also surprised to find For My Legionaries at a downtown liberal bookstore, I look forward to reading it. Additionaly, I recently bought and read Storm of Steel but I couldn't find it. Please don't be too harsh, I grew up in a plebeian Philistine environment and only recently embarked on the /lit/ path.

Nazi punks fuck off.

The realities of your life will not be resolved by a pop culture fascism movement OP. I wish you luck in getting somewhere you're happy being.

I've got that nausicaa edition, pretty decent though I wish they were properly bound and were cloth instead of paper.
What are the other miyazaki books like?

>>9885564
I... probably wouldn't be close friends with you.. acquaintances sure.. but everything from the weeb/nerd vibe to the total lack of books I'm interested in beyond the classics which don't signify much to even the rather repulsive design decisions which predominate in this book selection indicate to me a set of literary and cultural values with which I do not jibe and which I share very few of.. out of 10.

There pretty neat if you're interested in Miyazaki as a director. They're filled mostly with interviews and essays that he did around the time he was working on his films. Lots of magazine articles and such.

ask bloomio

characterisation and comfyness = M&D
overall fun time with decent characterisation = AtD
crazy mind-altering experience but little characterisation = GR

I'm reading Against the Day and it's pretty darn good. I'm leaning towards GR next because it's his most known masterpiece. M&D's prose seems really transcendent, but requires very careful, slow reading.
