Not a fan of charlatans. I despise all of these political twitter aggregates; right or left. They're frauds.

Do you read his works in Japanese? It's pretty hard to translate the literary nuances of Japanese to English.

>>9643418
I am Japanese. I live in Japan.
Do you like this writor?
In Japan he is no person.
No one likes him.
This is means you American are bad
for buy so many his books

He's actually good, but his problem is that his style it's really repetitive.

Read Hard boiled wonderland and kafka in the shore, ignore any faggot who reccomends tokyo blues.

I solved this by forgetting about network engineering after graduation, never getting a real job, becoming a neet, and studying literature.

>Not being mentally ill like all great writers and making irrational self-destructive choices

>MFW could be working in field there is shortage of workers while paying taxes but am instead draining the public purse

>Does having a career totally unrelated to writing or literature negatively impact your ability to write?
It gives you things to write about other than writing itself, as well as money so you don't die of starvation.

>>9643871
Yeah OP there are network engineering jobs where you setup some really specific system and travel around a shitton. That might be good if you're looking for inspiration for writing.

I mean it like... it might, but it's like something that we can't really like ... access ... given our like material 'reality'.

>>9643255
is ideology, and ideas, and idealism actually just literally material?

doesn't really matter. what matters is that if you think there is no free will, you will fall into existential crisis, so it's not very practical to think that way irl. might be interesting from a philosophical point of view, but is it really worth it to fuck up your life for philosophy?

Is it King James or something else?

he basically took the dfw model and feminized it.

Because he appeals to mentally ill, neurotic, SJW faggots of which there is no shortage of currently?

>48 cheerios

it's shit holocaust propaganda that only tells you common sense, iow "people who keep a positive outlook are more resilient in crisis". NO WAY?

One lessons it teaches is that cognitive needs can be met prior to meeting physiological needs. That debunks the widely taught hierarchy of needs pyramid by maslow. what's funny is that I had a psychology teacher who praised that pyramid and that book without seeming to ever make that connection.

I've heard good things about the book, didn't read it myself yet though

As for the crysis, well that depends how it manifests in you, it varies from person to person so not everyone has the same problem they need to solve in it
Can't hurt to read a book though, can it

on the genealogy of morals >> beyond good and evil >>>>>>>> ecce homo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the rest

>Most Underrated
Twilight of the Idols

never see it mentioned and the section on the four errors alone is one of the best passages in his work

>>9643242

That would def be mine as well if I didn't think Untimely Meditations was way less talked about. Problem of Socrates is such a good section.

press x to doubt

A Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

I hate the utopia theme; I've read probably 10 of them. This book kicked ass. My view hasn't changed on the subject, but BNW far surpassed my expectations and I was sad to put it down and sad when it ended. It made my "Top 10 Best Books I've Ever Read" list.

Lincoln would've been better

>>9643117
Anglos

>>9643117
gonna lmao when he gets attacked by a schizo

this is actually really odd and probably a symptom of a sort of retarded narcissism. A kind I can't even shame, only pity.

>>9643118
maybe OP has a dope name and anything else just doesn't rate

>>9643122

It's WIlliam.

I don't even think it's that amazing of a name, but when I name the main character Chris or Robert, it distracts the hell out of me and I can't continue writing until I replace it with William.

>>9643076
How can you be alienated without first being connected? Think back and remember how it was

>>9643094
The ending of that story gives me the feels

>>9643076
That fucking cat-piano...

Also, "The School" is hilarious

>>9643040
forgot to add: without appealing to religion or spiritualty

>>9643040
I don't think Camus' philosophy really lends itself to being refuted or even be up for discussion. I'm not aware that he made any actual technical claims that might actually provoke debate. Pointing out that life is absurd is insightful but also kind of superficial.

>>9643058
Well, yes I can see what you mean. Why do you think it's superficial?

>>9642997
If I had a knife, I'd cut off my fucking head right now

Probably some lame shit about light in darkness

why do my spaghetti-o's keep making lightning?

Did you happen to finish the book dumb dumb ?
