Where have you seen this everywhere?

Anyway, struggling reading it, even although I would say about myself I'm quite versed into academic Marxist language. It's not an easy read and Wark takes his own theories in account while discussing others so you don't even get the full picture.

Would advice The Left Hemisphere if you're looking for something the title suggests.

I couldn't give you specifics, I've only ever seen it in my peripherals. Honestly, maybe Facebook meme pages?

how?

JM Coetzee - Disgrace. I have never read such a loathsome book in my life. Filled with rabid niggers, sjw lesbians, white men grovelling for forgiveness from dindus.

Anyone knows any good literary podcast in Spanish?

Why is this guy so popular? I've never found his podcast to be particularly enlightening. In one of his podcasts about the first chapter, he claims Joyce used the word "coarsely" because it contains "arse", without any real justification

I just loved his accent and the palpable passion he showed when he talked about Ulysses honestly

RIP Frank

i'd fuck it

I don't think Dune is the best sci-fi novel, and as a general rule I avoid fucking books.

>>9667981
Yes and yes

Girl, Interrupted I think.

i've watched "prendimi l'anima", a movie based on the story of jung and sabina spielrain. apparently, it's based on a book by Aldo Carotenuto, maybe that would be something interesting?


here's the movie: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TwnY5Z8rxpA

also, pic related, but i have no idea if the books is worth reading.

I started writing only on my laptop but eventually switched to notebooks and pens for first drafts. Transcribing it all once it's done is a pain in the ass but I get a lot more written now.

>>9667909
Believe it or not I write drafts on Computer or Cellphone and then I put the definitive ones or the most advanced parts on paper. Maybe it's because the effort of writting manually makes me doing my best. Additionally, I really enjoy writting in cursive, the same safisfaction that I used to had while drawing when I was a child. I can't assure how much it affects work's quality but take in consideration that since it's easier to correct in Computer, it's easier as well to
neglect putting the best words.

I started writing on clay tablets, but now I've moved on to chalk. I've covered the walls in my house with writings. Soon I'll be famous.

That's some real gay shit.

Notes in the margins and then when I'm done with a chapter (or stopping point depending on the work's structure) I take notes on major themes and my thoughts. Not that faggy shit in the picture.

No? You have no way of knowing how much gold dwarves are able to produce, or even if they produce it, how much they introduce to the economy instead of hoarding themselves. Not to mention the fact that most characters in generic fantasy do seem to buy stuff with bags of gold. From your fist-sized travel bags to the thousands of tons of the stuff strewn around a Diablo II battlefield.

I like what you're trying to do but you've fucked up majorly at the start.

>dragons
>dwarves
Literally the same thing. It's like you have never heard of Fafner.

>>9667722
No, dragons are the inherent suffering you must overcome to acquire valuables.

Byron was a retarded gay faggot Angloid

That's not the point. I am writing an essay on the meanigs of the word "war" and got stuck when discussing the phrase "war to the knife", which, according to the Oxford English Dictionary has both literal and figurative meaning. I need quotes for both, and already have the figurative one, and now am looking for literal one, but I'm not sure whether this one is literal or figurative.

More context is required to make the kind of sense, or to discern the sense that's being used.
As a bald statement the reference is to 'life,' as a bitter struggle, and therefore the literal meaning is being used IN A FIGURATIVE WAY. Essentially what THE ENTIRE QUOTE means is therefore Never Surrender. Or that's my guess.
