Does anyone else get that voice in your head narrating your life as if it were a book, after you finish reading something?
Mine mimics the tone of the book, for instance, after I read "The Pox Party", I suddenly had this well spoken, hyperobservent narrator in my head, commenting everything I did.
Soo... anyone else?

I've been currently thinking about my perceptions completely differently lately. With the help of many authors and psychedelics I have begun to explore what seems a whole new world than I previously thought of.
I'm wondering: what books I should read to continue this journey of rediscovering how the world truly exists, or at least, how my perceptions may be inaccurate?

This is wonderful advice. I suppose I wanted to feel safe, in the comfort of a surrogate to contemplate my questions safely. But I suppose I can only understand my reality by exploring it as deeply as I can myself, and literature was simply what opened my eyes.

Your perceptions are 100% accurate, because they are yours. Consider travel.

I don't see anything as being essential.
If you're looking for theological answers they're easy to find.
imo you need to be more familiar with the bible than anything else.

whoa. deserves comment but i don't know what to say.
buddy of mine taught hs english for about 4 yrs. one day before class (first pd) female co-ed comes in early and says hey mr. x, wanna see my tattoo? Ok. At which she turns, bends over and presents (tramp stamp) just as the asst principal is walking into the room, and promptly turns to walk out.
That's when his troubles began....

Hamlet is undeniably emo. He is wearing all black and not talking to anyone the first time he is introduced

Is this an enjoyable read?
If so what would you compare it to?

Yes it's an enjoyable read if you are into SciFi. Part 1 is good, 2 is a bit slow/boring and part 3 is the best in my opinion.

Enough to not be mistaken in the book they've written.

Depends. The highest level math I've complete is freshman semester college mathematics for an Engineering degree. It involved advanced calculus and matrices etc.
How /lit/ does that make me?
>>
Honestly none.
I'm a triple major in chemistry and mathematics and honestly I would rather not know about science since it just ruined everything for me.
Everything must seem like a mystery for the uneducated and I wish I could go back.

Sup /lit/ I finally finished this astonishing novel, seems like one big astonishing straw-man fallacy to me. I mean why does socialism necessarily bring corruption? Sure Rand made a few decent arguments about how to live your life on a personal level but her views on social structures and government organisation are total trash. She only focused on the problems of a Soviet-like system and spent almost no time on how an alternative, ideal system would look.
Also had a terrible ending.

Why did you spend so much time reading a shit book? Any serious critique or philosopher will tell you how bad it is. It's bullshit man, Ayn Rand's point of view is indefensible bullshit.

Because historically it always has.
