Write while you're at work and edit at home. That's what I do. I'm about as productive at work as my coworkers too, so it doesn't really interfere with anything.

Get money to survive through either begging or stealing. Be homeless.

Or move home to your parents or friends, where you don't have to pay rent, work all you can for a year and save everything, then take a few years off

Even Kafka only worked from 7 to 3

Where's your image from, opie?

I hope you are using some kind of source control. Academics would love to have a meticulous insight over every little change you perform over your text

It is what goodreads has as the cover for that 4chan collaborative work.

Well, we're alike, but do you actually live a good life or are all these issues mainly a distraction from your own failure?

Don't listen to what "Pseudo Intellectuals" say about the insight you get from reading. It's clear you're an intelligent and conscious man and need not worry if you don't understand something or have trouble extrapolating an idea, that's natural. I hate to be cliche but learning truly is a process, devour these classic works on your own at the speed you so choose. Focus on the insights you get from reading on your own without caring what others say, half of them are merely spouting the ideas of others. Stick with it anon, we've all been there.

I live a barely acceptable life. If I live according to my tastes and my definition of integrity starting from tomorrow, I think I can be a success.

By barely acceptable I mean I exercise, have a respectable looking job and CV for someone my age and graduated from university. Not that I am impressed with myself (not being modest, but I can't be bothered going in to details). The 24/7 propaganda machine grinds me down.

An angel who has lived for twelve revolutions around Sol. Sweet d-a-r-l-i-n-g, you bring fire to my groin.

Start with the Greeks. Presocratics, then Plato's complete works, then Aristotle. That's about a years worth of philosophy for you to contemplate. Make sure to read secondary sources and watch youtube lectures on each dialogue.

>>9734518
did Niet ever seduce and actual woman?

>>9734752
I'd advise ignoring this. Start with something more pop. I've linked what I think to be a good jumping off point.

Check the catalog, and remember not to make a fantasy thread again outside the general

You have a general for an entire genre? Weird board.

>>9734530
Outer /lit doesn't like their pretentious circlejerk being interrupted by people who want to talk about genre fiction books. /sffg/ is actually a pretty active community and people generally like talking about books there, which makes it unique on this board. Also yes, plenty of people in /sffg/ have read Sanderson's works. You'll find haters and fans both.

GET OUT

I love being seen as someone who reads but I'd rather scroll down 4chan and watch yt videos lol

>>9734457
I usually get about 1 hour of reading in every day while sitting out in the sun. It's very nice.

Critique of Pure Reason

Why did originally OP chose this author?

>>9734433
I think it's whomever's but I'm not sure.

whomsoever's't

>>9734433
Judging by this
>http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/whoever.asp
it should be whomever I think but personally I think both sound retarded and I'd just use "whichever".
Not my native language though.

zizek's analysis was cool in the post-ideological years but he has no insight now that the culture wars have commenced

he is probably too old, out of touch and lives in a bubble

im genuinely interested in this. They're both entertaining charlatans with limited academic standing.

He reminds me of the mall Santa that molested me.

Generally the opinion on this board is that it's good, and one of Hesse's best works. It definitely has a main character that is most similar to the posters here, out of all his works, so that may influence it.

>>9734395
literally me

>>9734395
Hesse is kino-tier and it's a shame that while Steppenwolf is fantastic, and autists like to bitch about Siddhartha being an easy-to-read, vanilla eastern metaphysical Roman with fantastic prose, his other works like Peter Camenzind, Glass Bead Game, or Narcissus and Goldmund get a fraction of the attention those other two get.

humanity has gone too far

Is this computer generated? And you're right about it being dense, took me 3-4 minutes to read the first paragraph

>Literature, that "highest and most spiritual art", reaches new heights with this procedurally generated tour-de-force. Explore Dublin, the Galaxy, and Hell with Stephen and the crew of the Heart Of Gold as the combined consciousness of two of the "greatest authors" of the twentieth century has a stroke.
Holy shit

>>9734142
Start with The Idiot

>>9734142
Notes from the Underground is entry-tier, probably right up your alley if you're on 4chan, and it'll teach you that the author wasn't really what he's written up to be but just a neurotic creep who taught but couldn't do.

Demons is pretty good, but I would start with Notes or something small like that. You picked a good author friend.
