If you do, how do you take notes when reading a book? Highlighting and notes in the margin, or do you write in a separate notebook?

I don't take notes. After I finish reading a book, I write a poem with themes and ideas found in the book, and in books I read before that. That way, I build a dialogue between different themes and ideas.
>>
>>9650991
write in margins with a #2pencil. have developed a code with greek alphabet so that often notes consist of single letters here and there.
>>
>>9650991
i just underline or bracket passages which i like, then stick a little sticky note on the page so i can go back and refer to it, and then later i write down what notes i would have written on the page inmy diaryinstead, saving the book from being riddled with stupid notes

Do featureless (no internet, no useless bloat apps, etc) e-readers exist? I just want something that displays a book list and displays the book contents when I click on a book.

I still don't understand how hacks like Ginsberg and Kerouac even compare to William S. Burroughs.
More offensively, it seems like Naked Lunch is the least liked of the three classic beat books

I'm looking for the perfect book to fit my taste.
I need something that is non-fiction that's subject matter is something strange or paranormal.
Good examples:
The Sphere - Crichton
I Am Legend - Matheson
The Quiet Earth - Harrison
The Dome - King
Most Lovecraft
Most Junji Ito
I get stuck reading a lot of "pop culture" books because I'm admittedly not a connoisseur but I'm really hungry for a good read, please help!

Why are so many otherwise edgy young people scared of following their wildest dreams? Don't you realize that any sort of "safe and stable" mentality makes you a cog in the machine who sacrifices his life, spirit and basically his entire being to keep things stable so the real individualists can live life to the fullest and make full use of their creative energies to create something greater? Do you really think of your teen-20-something self as some kind of disposable little worker ant and nothing more?
Think about what a sacrifice you are making to people who don't know you and who will never thank you or reward you. Think about what a sacrifice you are making to yourself.

Marxism. Stop thinking you can have "just" a theory of advertising. Totalization is the bare minimum of intelligibility for social phenomena in a society such as capitalism.

I mean literally fag, not some metaphorical interpretation. Nabokov was an artist and he consciously wove elements of Shakespeare's play into his novel that's then further masked and misunderstood as a novel about pedophilia (it's not)

Have thought of it over time as more of a clash of civilizations novel- Europe\America; dreaming wayward youth\cynically driven adulthood. Henry James on American turf driven up a notch or two. I've only read L twice, however- both times when still in my teens.
Do any of you guys actually believe that Hegel's dialectic is a valid logical procedure?

That doesn't show that the dialectic is a valid logical procedure (or form, if you will).

Adorno himself, obviously.
A Nick Land Reader: Selected Writings is done!
PDF: https://u.nya.is/oauzos.pdf
EPUB: https://u.nya.is/ajccaw.epub
The epub didn't come out great, it lost some styling and the footnotes only work sometimes. It would take a decent amount of manual work to fix...I used htlatex to go from latex -> html and then calibre's ebook-convert to go from html->epub. If you know a better method, I'll try it out.
I'm sure there are errors, especially stuff where I didn't catch imperfections in the OCR process on the old articles. If you point them out I'll fix them.

My daughter is 7 years old, she does not read very much and I want to get her into reading. What are some good books for her.
I was thinking Alice in Wonderland or the Secret Garden or A Wrinkle in Time
I want some books that are empowering to little girls, right now she's just a cute little loli who sits on everyone's laps and uses physicality to gain acceptance and I want her to gain some perspective

There's contemporary philsophy going on?
Analytical "philosophers" circlejerking about formal logic doesn't count.
