Same.

How fucking hard is it to hit Enter and Tab to start a new paragraph?
And they pick on McCarthye for run on sentences.

Silly little book about thinking outside the box. Lots of fun little exercises that will actually teach you a thing or two if you complete them honestly. Based around Leary's 8 circuit model. For more about the model, I would suggest Info-psychology and Game of Life. Definitely a worthwhile book if you're young and just getting into the whole counterculture. IMO, however, RAW's best work is Illuminatus! and Cosmic Trigger but those are a bit longer and heavier.

no one read it?

>>9808529
Thank you, anyone else wanna give their reviews? My money is in your little fingers

>>9808416
No, son. You take the redpill and you'll know the truth of all of human nature, the desires of women and men, the absolute truth of whoever is pulling the strings and causing our misery, and what we need to do to save the white race. Start with Schopenhauer's On Women

>>9808416
Go read comics, you precocious little shit.

>>9808416
Haha my son, you came to the wrong board. Why don't you try /sci/ the place where questions actually get objective answers?

>>9808382
My boy! Glad someone finally said it. Ulysses is boring as fuck.

probably because coelhos occult level stopped at new age tote bags and overpriced coffee

That's where you're wrong, xiaoren.

>master gong

i am seriously beginning to think having had deleuze uncork the mechanosphere for me (w/land first having terrified the living shit out of me enough to make me want to read him) that so much spec-real stuff just seems, i don't know, occasionally too masturbatory even for me
>tfw you are a skilled masturbator, with a very precise skillset, masturbatings that make me a nightmare for people like...hello? hello? damn, they hung up

china tho. china feels like the fucking promised land sometimes for some of this shit. i can't quite put my finger on why, it's partly because it's such a fucking floaty-world over there. chuang tzu feels like diogenes sometimes except instead of diogenes being in a barrel and a poor misunderstood dude searching for an honest man, something else...

so on the one hand it's fucking stupid to get all cosmic w/o digesting Lovecraft.Net or whatever. but there's also a horizon beyond which it doesn't make any sense either to just circle around and around the Door to Nothingness and all of that other shit w/in capitalism & landian fun.

economically, politically, historically - but specifically *phi*
*lo*
*soph*
*ic*
*ally*

china has a lot going on. and the chairman has some legit great other lines, although that one, i think, is my fave:

>If our society seems more nihilistic than that of previous eras, perhaps this is simply a sign of our maturity as a sentient species. As our collective consciousness expands beyond a crucial point, we are at last ready to accept life's fundamental truth: that life's only purpose is life itself.

- Chairman Sheng-ji Yang,
"Looking God in the Eye"

and he was the fucking *villain.* alpha centauri did nothing wrong.

all this to say:
teach me your ways,
"anonymous" senpai;
tell this brainless cakewit
of the waters of yr homeworld

Pretentious

Got me into reading as a kid. I remember being hard into DUDE WEED as a 16 year old and googled trippy books. I purchased 2. One was naked lunch the other was on a winter's night a traveler. I started with naked lunch and got halfway and gave it to a friend because it was so terrible. He did the same except gave my copy to the trash. But on a winter night a traveler sparked some shit with me. Never looked back.

I don't want to.

Sea Rose
BY H. D.
Rose, harsh rose,
marred and with stint of petals,
meagre flower, thin,
sparse of leaf,

more precious
than a wet rose
single on a stem—
you are caught in the drift.

Stunted, with small leaf,
you are flung on the sand,
you are lifted
in the crisp sand
that drives in the wind.

Can the spice-rose
drip such acrid fragrance
hardened in a leaf?

>Are they just written to pander to housewives and women with no ambition?
Yes.
This is a huge business.

>>9808091
I'm sure the Jews are behind this somehow.

>>9808093
What is the make version of books aimed at those with no ambition?

She sure was.

But let's talk about Samuel instead. I'd like to hear your opinion on him.

Cathy scared the shit out of me when I read it

>>9808085
Was it difficult to read? I'm an English learner curious as to whether or not it would be too taxing for me if I finally decide to pick it up.

don't you have math homework to do?

>>9808073
actually I'm getting paid to watch other people work while I screw around on the internet so I have the time.

>>9808065
No. It seems like an important distinction. I think 1) is closer to the definition of Agnosticism. I would personally go with 2). Yet 2) is frequently associated with materialism and a lot of people that identify themselves as Atheistic because they reject the traditional understanding of God but still have spiritual beliefs would be offended by that implication.
To sum up Atheism is a rejection of the traditional understanding of God but not of spirituality.

Jews go to school and learn to write good. Crackers live in trailer parks and yell at waiters for messing up their order

Blake?

>>9808001
start with the greeks, faggot

>>9808001
Stop reading. Start thinking.

>>9808003
I read the greeks. I want to start again, though.
>>9808004
yea

>thinking that art of a thought is more important than the message itself

If you're not writing a medival book why bother, everything is electronic anyway now.

Except if you're trying to be an "artsy" hispter chick, nobody cares.

My handwriting when printing is total shit. I have to write cursive because it's just much more legible for me.

Don't associate with this creep any more.

But he is my countryman

but Houellebecq is the edgiest of edgemasters. Your friend was right, he's just another french meme.
