To really understand it, you need to have studied some Aristotelian logic, and to be familiar with both Frege and Russell's work upon which it is a sort of commentary, correction, and expansion.

I'll be honest that I did not pursue those things myself, and had only read Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations." I went to it out of curiosity about what he denied in his later writings, so my understanding is cursory. Read Russell's introduction, it's helpful.

Don't talk about things you don't understand.
In fact, don't talk at all.

Women getting old is so fucking depressing. You just know that they identify with their appearance and their youth far more than the achievements and ambitions they pretend to have.

Women palpably feel like they hit their peak at 20 and then declined. What kind of life is that? Men can look forward to being a cooler and cooler guy until they're dead or senile. Maybe not in a physical domain, but in terms of accomplishment.

Lady Gregory is never talked about on /lit/

It is shit. It tries to be borges. It isn't borges. Also it seems like it suffers in translation.

got that (Eng. 1st ed.) in a s/h bookshop some 10+ years ago, worth a smallish fortune now.

it's not his best effort.

Severian falls in love with Thecla.
Later, Severian becomes Thecla.
And Severian eventually holds a negative view on who Thecla was.

I quit reading Harry Potter as a kid shortly after the 5th book came out, wrote a small essay/thing describing what would happen in 6 & 7, and ruined both of 7's parts for a local Nurse's Union by predicting them 10 minutes before their fancy theatre date.

Finnegans Wake on the hand has me constantly going back to it to see just how much was referenced that I missed.
>I haven't found any less than 10 new things every time I go back, at ~514 ref's now;
>some anons have quoted in the upper 6-8000's

And then there's shit like the King James Version of the Bible, the Torah, Qur'an, Vedic scriptures, and older Chinese writings.

Emerald Tablet's not necessarily a book, but I've read dozens of theories and translations and feel no closer to a full comprehension than when I'd first heard of it.

Chaucer and Joseph Campbell, even Dundes and Muehler and Heinlein were a second read after reading analyses and other works related to them.
>will admit I'm shite on philosophy, so Being and Time was a third go while Republic was a one-shot

Scandinavian and Russian stuff is typically once in English and second time in its own language. I hate French lit, it's fucking snooty.
>there was one oddball comic I recall reading in French that was bretty gud
>I think it was banned for outliving its time for depicting a teen girl doing stupid amounts of drugs then fucking and exploiting a robot
>though it did shit on retarded folk and siamese twins with a retarded siamese twin autist that used a chainsaw to tear people apart while half-naked teens on drugs ran screaming through the streets, so there may have been a few reasons to put that one to sleep

Not OP, but I plan on reading this soon. I know that it's a masterpiece, and very culturally significant, but how enjoyable of a read did you find it?

>>9617400
Do I need to read Orlando Innamorato first or can the novel be understood and appreciated without it? I only ask because copies of Orlando Innamorato are really expensive where I live.

All you have to do is give up all of your possessions, take up the weight of your own failings and follow your inner light.

>How can I live a "post-materialist" life when every instinct I have naturally is to return to my middle class upbringing and acquire profit and material security at all costs?
Good question. The short answer is dive right in and over time you become acclimated to your new standard of living. Your "instincts" are actually your programming. Over time your "instincts" will change. Turn your AC off, and eventually you will get used to the heat.

Try reading some Stoic texts and embrace the lifestyle of perusing virtue. This will help in your quest of less consumption. You don't need material goods in a virtuous life.
