is there such a thing as sexual horror? In this day an age people start masturbating to anime and end up deep into things like extreme cuckolding, furry or bordeline child phornography.
Logic would dictate that you could appeal to the fear of escalation anons display everytime someone posts traps on /v/ or whatever, are there any books that tocuh that particular nerve?

How are there gradients?

Not literature I know of but maybe Charles Burn's Black Hole and It Follows? Black Hole is more body horror as an STD mutates people into disfigured beings.

how so? you only end numb and wanting more extreme stuff until you find yourself masturbating to floor tiles.

You'd hope so, but there are too many posts calling things pretentious here to give enough evidence for it.

Sorry if this question gets asked a lot here, but how do I get back into reading? I used to like reading years ago, but I've kind of lost interest. I've tried a couple of times to start reading books again recently, but when I try, I just read for five minutes and get bored. Also, what are some good entry-level philosophy books?

You cant have anything stressing you. Cant have any distractions. And you have to be hyped as fuck to read the particular book you start. One the planets align you'll be drifting through pages naturally

Sophie's World is probably the standard for entry level philosophy.

She looks like a prostitute that just got dragged off of the street. You'd have to pay me to go near her.

I know that Harry Potter isn't any kind of an achievement in literature but damn is it a comfy read. Why do you hate it so much... or do you just hate the praise it gets?

I don't hate the books or their popularity. I hate the absolute cunt who wrote them. The first few books are pretty good for what they are.
>>
I really like Harry Potter. Re-reading the whole series at the moment
>>
It's an achievement of entertainment, but obviously not art.
It's not comparable to any classic, but it's certainly not as shabby as high brow /lit/erati think.

The Conspiracy agains the Human Race.
Anything by John n. Gray.
If you want some sci-fi, Blindsight.
Might as well shove in some of Spengler's declinism too.

>>9422039
What does black pill mean? I'm serious, all those pills got me confused. I mean is there a philosophy behind it like in the matrix or just a redditshit meme?

>>9422421
It's a meme about an annoying pseud larping as le uebermensch.

Thing is, the setting I'm writing on has very limited resources, just not enough to go around, so conflict is inevitable and the option you suggested wouldn't work, you know?

Recommend some chocolate-colored authors to read besides Morrison and Soyinka. No Achebe and other "muh oppression" bullshit, please.

What books have the greatest intensity of emotion? Among the books that I've read, I would have to name Thus Spake Zarathustra and Moby Dick. I read both of these books alone without distractions and literally thought my mind and heart were about to explode

Whenever you look at a top 100 list of books, there are a few repeats. You've all probably read a few of them.
1. Which books should be in the top 100?
2. Explain WHY they should be in the top 100. Not accepting any answers like "Everyone's read it... so you have to."

Ones that aren't pure entertainment, but educate you.
>1984
>Brave New World
Both depict plausible societies (happening now) designed to prevent you from having any power over your life, and turning people into disposables.
It's been awhile since reading 1984.
Did the society have a rich ruling class? I remember a scene in a well to do neighborhood.
My favorite dystopian stories are ones where the society has no ruling class feeding in resources and orders to sustain it. It's a society where everyone is enslaved, and it's nearly 100% self perpetuating/sustaining. No one benefits, but no one can break out.
Can you recommend anything like that?

Does listening to an audiobook count as "reading"?
I tell people I read books all the time, and talk about various books I've read. But the truth is that I listen to unabridged audiobooks whenever I go exercising (running/walking) every day or whenever I have to go for a long drive (my job often has me driving from city to city).

It counts as learning, and that is more important than someone's made up requirement of rolling your eyeballs over so-many pages of print before you can git gud.

If audiobooks counts as reading then browsing /lit/ definitely does

I'm considering listening to various philosophie books instead of reading since they get boring quickly and various parts are jsut patheticly stupid at times.

Personally? I love having a job. Love getting up at 6:40am, love showering, dressing, having a bite to eat and then I'm through the door. Commuting? Sure it's a drag but that's just part of life. Gotta take the good with the bad. I arrive at work every day at 8:30am, remove my jacket, say hey to my coworkers, sit down; it's time to work. Until 12:30pm I'm fully invested in my work. No time for messing around (boys), no time fro drifting or daydreaming. I head out for lunch and then return. Now the afternoon is a little more difficult to navigate. The morning rush has worn off, I'm a little sleepy after eating, it's kinda difficult but I soldier through, People have it much worse than me and I am just not narcissistic not enough to acknowledge that every freakin' day. I work hard until 5:30pm, at which point I get up, put on jacket, say my goodbyes and head out the door. It takes 40 minutes, often more, to get home. So what? What right have I to complain? Don't like it? Leave it. Come on, kid. This is adult life. So I'm writing a novel. Yes, me. I know, I know, I kinda find it hard to believe too. What's more I want to really make it. I'm talking prizes, professional headshots in sepia, royalties, advances, the whole shebang. But I work full-time, like any mature adult male does, so naturally I only have around 2 or 3 hours or productive time after work each day to knuckle-down (dummies out, kiddos) and focus on my writing. Say I write 100 words. Say I write 50. Who cares? I'm progressing. I'm getting nearer my goal. You want to work part-time and ruin your career chances to focus on your book? Fine. You want to live with mommy and be her little darling writer at the age of 25? Sure, go ahead. It doesn't bother me. Because I know that I, a mature, responsible man (look up the definition, it may be an unfamiliar term to you) have to keep up appearances in addition to writing my debut novel. I may get it finished within a year. It may take a decade? Who cares? I don't. Say I win the Booker aged 40. 50. 60 even. Better than being poor, unwanted and inferior (objectively, if we're going to be honest about this) for the chance of winning the Booker at 30. Seriously guys, cut your hair, find a job, and treat your writing as it really is: a pretty embarrassing and financially futile hobby. It's a past-time. It's a daydream. A wishful thought. Now get back to work!
