what did he mean by this

>>9709382
I need to do some research on hibernation then.

>>9709382
However, if bacteria can adapt to ice and move around, then maybe those neurons may be active.

Very unrealistic. Could not finish it. 3.

>>9709347
Like, probably a 7

Anything with talking animals is for children

>>9709231
Why would you even need to think about getting a library card?

Cities are part of nature.

Nature is often ugly. If you happen to live in some kind of national park, then great, but go to your nearest forest, it's probably just a bunch of weeds and trees that all look the same. A city at night is much more beautiful 9 out of 10 times.

Most of the ones I see on Amazon look like useless self-help crap

Classical Rhetoric for the Modern Student.

>>9709348
Thanks
Also wonder if anyone knows a book that deals mostly with Style, not content? Something about non verbal communication

>>9709158
he only existed so Anthony Kiedis could rhyme his name with "house-key"

The equivalent of listening to a podcast with Steve-O or chatting with the homeless alcoholic outside your apartment.

It's entertaining at the time, but after a while you feel sorry for them because they are one trick ponies and you're sick of hearing yet another story about how they fucked up when drunk.

Overly simplistic style that caters to a casual adult audience who don't like regular literature.

>NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

immediate red flag

>>9709101
This.

JYTs bestseller about money?

Expect to learn nothing about money, or the desert tribe of outsiders currently in control of the distribution of it in western nations.

>>9709101
I've actually read it, it's really good if you're interested in a well thought out history of the evolution of credit systems over time. It's not particularly dumbed down either going explocitly into detail about things like asset backed bonds.
8/10 would recommend.

Fun fact the dude is also married to Hirsi Ali.

>>9709023
I like that one but I think Milk and Honey is my favourite modern poetry. Have you read it?

>>9709023

>tfw soods shit on modernist verse.

>>9709027
No I haven't yet but I will next thank you!

>>9709039
I'm not sure I understand. I love Modernism.

Mother Goose, perhaps.

i'm going to restrain the part of me that wants to scream "pleb" because your image related sort of articulates that well enough.

if you like pessoa, I would also check out Rilke, who has a similar relationship between lyricism and prose to our favorite portu, also a lot of lamenting on the 'self' and the space between words.

William Carlos Williams.

Don't be wrong to take difficult poems very slowly, and reread it again. Lots of the time they are meant to be read slowly and reread again.

Animal Farm is a good satire on the shortcomings of humans in a socialist society.

>>9708933
I read it in highschool but I don't remember if I understood it. Is it a fair look? Also I thought it was about communism? I'm more interested in libertarianism and fascism

Mein Kampf

>>9708894
Not worth it. You should buy them, drop acid and then play Majoras Mask 3DS with the 3D on full. Shit is lit, my dude.

>>9708894
I actually have some and use them occasionally.

What kind of things are you interested in? Personally I think a lot of entry level classics are boring but it's hard to recommend someone books without some sort of frame of reference.

>>9708890
first learn how to read, critique, and analyze before you dive into the classics. try critical theory today.

seriously, dont waste your time reading if you cant do the three. and i may get some shit for saying this, but it helps to watch those shitty review videos by wisecrack.

>>9708921
I like film a lot. I'm in to snobby art films and oldschool classics.
>>9708926
I'm pretty sure I'm capable of analysis due to my history with film. I don't think I've ever critiqued a great book before though

Yes.

What's with the butterfly?

>>9708814
Probably closer to /tv/'s alley but they wouldn't help. For all the writefags on 4chan there really isn't a good board for writing. We have one (1) thread for it, and only one douchey reviewfag for every 100 writefags.
