the red book
but other than that, I'm interested as well

my

4chan

so what do you think about it?

>>9822816
Seemed like much ado about nothing to me.
"The world is a void and nothing matters, have fun"
literally babby's first nihilism intro.

This
Great video and really fun to watch but the ideas behind it are basic.

The Bible as you smirk to yourself knowing that there are imbeciles who STILL believe that shit.

Don Quijote is pretty fun. I read it when I was an edgy "reading is for fags" teen but I was surprised at the familiar humor.

Is there any notable literature that does? I honestly don't think there is.

Why would I need to own books I have already read?

I have read about 5 books from start to finish in my entire life. Four of them are by Nietzsche, the fifth one is a Beethoven biography.
My bookshelf has literally hundreds of books: all the classics, philosophy, essays and so on. I have only skimmed them, some of them I have never opened. It's a shame I know. Will I be excused if I say that I'm battling with depression?

When you finally get a job, snowflake.

I don't even know what board this belongs on.

Its a means to represent overlapping sets, useful to humans who aren't great at cognizing commonalities between multiple arrays

It's used to show what Germans would call Schnittmengen and it can be used to humourous effects, for example when you have two circles called "OPs" and "fags" and the overlapping area is labelled "(You)".

Being a retarded little faggot

Did somebody hurt your whittle feewings OP? Yeah that shit is obnoxious. The only people that I ever see doing it are the SJW types.

>>9822483
Altwoke faggots are much more obnoxious than SJWs. At least the former know not what they do.

your life needs to stop

look into "Anglish"

English without Latin.

Or just learn german

>>9822452

Some people genuinely read to feel smart- or more accurately, smarter than others. That's the audience for these writers.

They're also the loudest audience. The only thing better than feeling like you're smarter than other people is acting like you are in a social setting.

Then actual smart people, like you and me, probe their thinking, and end up bitterly unimpressed by the empty platitudes and maxims and references that apparently turn a novel in to a piece of "serious literature".

Just try and ignore them. They're easy to spot.

The opening literally tells you what its about.

Humbert is going on a self-indulgent and highly biased rant about his pedophilic escapades.

I bet you're the type of person who needs to "identify" with the protagonist.

Honestly I have a hard time reading any sort of romance novel.

I wonder what the japs about the sketch comedy due of kamikaze pilots at the end.

>>9822286

I thought The Zone of Interest was, well, interesting. Nothing spectacular.

he has a cool voice

>>9822286
His best friend was Hitchens. That's all i know.

Because the tiger is out

>>9822228
you've misheard him, he actually said "we need to offer humans up to zeus". sloterdijk is a well known advocate of polytheistic human sacrifice.

>>9822228
Maybe he meant what is portrayed in the new German propaganda film, "Arian Reservation".
>>9822288
This is a good idea too. I say we sacrifice the bronies on Mount Olympus followed by the weebs.

thinking about reading it. Tried to read a couple King books, never got very far. Then I read that there's like, kid sex in it? Which kind of skeeved me out. Been thinking about reading it lately. The new movie that's coming out kind of reminded me.

You read it op? Do you think it's good?

I think he writes good characters, but his books are famously hit or miss.

>>9822207
IT is the only book of his I enjoy.

>>9822195
I read him alot when I was young because my mother wanted me to start reading adult books and these were accessible. I think they vary massively in quality, with stuff like Misery, The Shining, IT, Different Seasons, and Needful Things up top, and most of the rest, especially after he stopped doing drugs, at the bottom. His prose is terrible

"x", he said
"yz?"
"xwg"
He looked uncomfortable, glancing up the stairs.
"xyz...x"

but the ideas he came up with are the results of a good mind + narcotics, and should be respected.
