Use anki digital flash cards. Put the picture of the word on one side of the card, and use an audio clip of the word being spoken on the other side. There are websites that allow you to download clips of words being spoken in French for free.

>One hundred years of solitude, Gabriel Garcia Márquez
>The Ego and His own, Stirner (didn't finish it though)
>Capitán Alatriste, Arturo Pérez Reverte
>Don Quijote de la Mancha (re-read it for the 3rd time)
>Pnin, Vladimir Nabokov
>The Karamazov Brothers, Fyodor Dostoievski
>Memoirs of a Beatnik, Diane di Prima
>We, Yevgeny Zamyatin
>The Setting Sun, Osamu Dazai
I might be forgetting one or two but so far I remember those.

The value of a philosophical work is not as quantifiable as one of literature (although literature is not either)

Is there any difference between subjectivism and relativism or are these terms and their absolute meaning synonymous?

well i'm a mulatto, so i'm fairly happy being in a world of black and white. it brings me great... relief.
relativism infinitely less centralized than subjectivism. subjectivism is a gentle solipsism.

Yes.

So you're the narcissist who keeps starting "shelf" threads.

Donate them to your local prison. It sounds like they could use them. Also, what's in the jar?

You write down your thoughts.

And if I never seem to keep up with it?
>>
>>9656600
That's your own fault and I'm sure has more to do with your inability to commit to anything than writing in and of itself

>he still thinks desires are his own
>it is thus in psychological time—the only time that has meaning—that the issue of recognition or misrecognition can be decided. It is also to be stressed yet again that recognition and misrecognition will take place in every single minute of physical time and that recognition, if it is to happen, will happen physically “now,” in the present, but will enlighten and heal all the preceding, earlier misrecognitions. Here we return to Proust’s insights about the search for lost time and time regained. As for the future, on the psychological level it represents nothing but a projection of the past and an imaginary repetition of memories.
>It is desire that engenders the self and by its movement brings the self to life.
>desire is the origin of the self. the self is therefore in reality a self- of-desire. Another desire, the desire of another model, will bring with it the emergence of a different self, an-other-self-of-an-other-desire.
>a psychological reality is not situated in the tranquil opacity of anyone’s “own body,” contained in the reassuring totality of a “self,” but rather in the mysterious transparency of the interdividual relation.
It's been getting mighty accelerationist in here, how about we take a Pause That Refreshes with a Girard thread. Baudrillard: the sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence. The ultimate monkey-wrench for Skynet is going to be a Gauloise cigarette, a peach and a fucking beautiful afternoon with absolutely nothing to do except read Shakespeare.
Is memory a third category to set aside Being and Becoming? Have I lost my goddamned mind? Let's find out.

was the quote on the cover true when the book was published? I'd say that, of all writers alive (and works to have been published since) it's the most important work of fiction I can think of.

Why did 1984 (and to a lesser extent Animal Farm) become Orwell's most popular work when his nonfiction is so much better?

Neocolonialist/neo-Liberal conspiracy of silence.
1984 and Animal Farm were handy red scare tools.
>>
because his fiction could be enjoyed at two levels:
You could appreciate the well-crafted narrative AND you could understand the social commentary that still remains relevant in our times
>>
Because homage to Catalonia is impossible to use as anti socialist propaganda
