Hello Sebastian. How has your life been like recently?

https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/35959535-crito
Finally got around to Clockwork Orange. It was fine I guess. I feel like I'd have enjoyed it more if I were younger and the language was a bit gimmicky after the novelty wore off.

Hi Crito

>>7639444
Hi Sebastian, nice work on reading that McElroy last month


My profile, I've been on planes for the past 24 hours so I've read like 3 books in a caffeine haze. Goal of 250 books this year.

Best person on goodreads.
Want to read 60 books this year, if I continue by this rate I'll read 100. Maybe I will, depending on exams.

>Goal of 250 books this year.
How do you guys do this?
Are you very young or a NEET or do some people just have exceptionally fast reading skills.

I'm honestly curious, reading about one book in three days is no joke if you're working a job.

>>7643201
I read a lot of novellas and stuff so I increased my limit. There should be a page-count goal.

Friend, unless you're reading Hegel for the fashion why not go Hume -> Kant -> Hegel ?

If you don't have time then maybe Kant -> Hegel?

And if you have time then:

Plato -> Aristotle -> Desecartes -> Hume -> Kant -> Hegel ?

I tried to jump into Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil as my first philosophical text, even with a beginner's guide it was a thorough mistake.

I don't know if you'll enjoy Hegel when starting him without prior reading.

>>7643205

Is there any way to check page count on goodreads?

If people can honestly read that much I should probably try some of that speedreading stuff.

I can only assume people don't keep reading at those rates unless they're sure everything is still in their comprehension.

It's more about actually discussing literature while giving other people the convenience of knowing your past preferences and opinions.

We are humble and civilized there only because we have profiles. I can guarantee that most of us shit up this board like every other anon does.

sebastian, if you were to read one of your five star books today for the first time, do you think that it would still get five stars, or would it get the standard 'three stars, good book' rating like everything you read nowadays?
do you you think you're still capable of being wowed by something enough to consider it five stars amazing?

>>7641650
Ανασυρόμενος means something like shy, or closeted or sheltered, correct? I can't quite put my finger on it and I don't want to pull out my dictionary.

I have no problem downrating books after a while if I thought I overrated them, so the ratings are still valid

The word I'm making a pun on is άνασυρόμενος, anasyromenos, the act of a female lifting her skirt to reveal she is actually male.

>>7644588
You're technically right in that the definition of the word is 'hidden' but in stylistic ccontext that I'm punning on, it is revealing the "hidden" truth of the gender.

>>7647551
Hey man, I might be going down that path.

I have financial security, it's just the showing my face in public to relatively well-to-do relatives and elite friends part that's got me in the knots.

You NEETs read so many books it's spectacular, would you suggest your lifestyle to others?

I just don't have enough time to truly understand Wittgenstein if I keep being a wagecuck.

>>7646908
Both posts are me.

You can head over to reddit's ask philosophy for guide regarding where to start a jounrey to Hegel too (they're good for very specific recommendations, given it filters out anyone who didn't actually read the books) you didn't seem to have read much other philosophy (sorry if I'm wrong) so I was quite surprised to see you introducing yourself to Hegel.

I don't have much experience with him but that just doesn't seem like a good idea.

Also, in 2015 you read 53044 pages in 4 times 365 that is 1460 hours. That's about 36 pages an hour. That's around half a page a minute. One page should be around 300-400 words so that's around 200 or 150 words per minute.

200-150 wpm is a very realistic reading speed for anyone, my point being, I suppose reading so many books is very doable if you're committed enough.

Just wanted to post this here if anyone is interested, you don't need to be a phenomenal reader to read 200 books a year it seems, just a consistent one.

My question has been answered, thank you.

So is ανασυρόμενος modern Greek for "trap"? Is it because it alludes to the act of "retreating" one's penis between the thighs?

Is it a pun that you've come up with our is it common slang?

I don't know the modern Greek connotation. I only know that it was an ancient Greek name for revealing the genitals of what you could probably call a 'trap' deity like Hermaphroditus or male-bodied forms of Aphrodite.

And I made the pun myself of Anasyromenos ("revealing the female to be a male") being Anna Syromenos.

You can tell I made it because it isn't very good. :( It was very casually made.

You try reading it cover to cover in English and tell me it's not boring as shit to read. It's incredibly useful, and everyone who wants to understand the world should definitely read it, but complementary texts, tafsir and recitation are so much better than the English text. It has no rhyme, no lyricism, a lot of repetition. It's not a fun read.

I thought you might be Greek. I have a few Greek friends and they are wont to make puns like that based on Latin alphabet fake or playful transliterations of Greek words.

Your pun is pretty good. It's on par with the kind of stuff that my native friends keep coming up with. I don't speak Greek well enough to decipher most of them so I keep asking for explanations, the sort of which you've kindly provided.

Everyone's bitching 24/7 about how Evangelion plagiarized Ideon. I wouldn't go that far, but it's interesting that both had many elements in common.

I like the way Tomino easily dispose any character even if it seems relevant to the story or not.
