Live as a politically active, cash-strapped Irish salaryman. Lend yourself at times to your passions while restraining yourself at others, and most of all, watch the children.

Or just read conscientiously.

Read a short analysis after each story to make sure you didn't miss any subtleties.

I only like Cioran and Houellebecq, but the only people I know who read are a girl who reads sci-fi and fantasy and another who likes Vonnegut, Murakami, etc.

>Do you have any friends in real life
hahahahaha

>>9378391

No real life friends here (or online ones for that matter), but thanks for the idea of taking a free literature course to meet similar minded people anon, I'll actually look into it.

How come?

The Odyssey.

I've been writing Neo-Classical poetry since. It's so beautiful.

I write for myself, and that's what Homer has taught me.
Life is beautiful, and so is literature.

I love you guys.

As an edgy virgin desperately searching society for a trend to blame my psychological failures on, I found it quite eye-opening

It's been a few years since I read it last, I found the idea that excluding self-identified Leftists from any sorts of change/revitalization movements as an absolute necessity to be interesting even if they agree with their goals or you agree with some left wing ideas, because the sort of people who become card carrying "leftists" are either themselves hopelessly lost to the machinery of society/socialization or will inevitably bring in people who are leading to the trivialization of your movement and eventual downfall.
considering how the "left" has a habit of absolutely tanking every single movement into a mess of bickering and over-socialisation I tend to agree with him. look at every single green party in the West as an example.

consider whether suicide is right for you
suicide is not recommended if you are pregnant or nursing
may cause death

Got you covered sempai!

Have fun reading those, they are very inspiring :)

Faggot spook detected.

See if you can find one of Jan LaPerle or Emilia Philips's books on Amazon. Or Matt Hart. Contemporary is definitely the way to go here.

ee cummings. There should be readily available collections of his romantic poetry.

Nice trips. I wrote it on a certain French author with a short name and a Russian author with a much longer name.

Mission Goal: To eliminate the Conde Nast Monopoly and return to the people the prestige allotted only for those to whom for these go, this might be our only shot /lit/, I'm telling you again

You can't compete with the New Yorker, Its distributed at cost to nearly every dentist and salon coast to coast.

Les Miserables is my favorite book. The Hunchback of Notre Dame is up there as well.

I like Victor Hugo, he's an amazing story teller. His complex plots all tie up so well, and all of his characters have their own little quirks and they're fun to read about.

Definitely under talked about, I agree OP. I think it's just because not a lot of people read him here.

Well, it's a huge fucking book. And it's complex. And huge pieces of it are historical essays basically. Pretty much /lit/ repellent.

From the wellspring of subjectivity is made manifest all possible forms.

Phenomenology's program was descriptive, or based 'extro-spectively'. Proust's view of interactive memory (and therefore of 'time' as we actually experience it) could be cited as one instance of how the program works.

These threads prove that 99% users of /lit/ don't read. Anyways, the idea of phenomenological reduction is to acquire the point of view that is, in the broadest sense, free of all prejudice. It is radical, it requires you to suspend the natural worldview. Words don't work here all that well because phenomenological reduction is a process, it requires you to meditate. There is a reason why Husserl claims in his Crisis of European Sciences that if you are successful with your Cartesian meditations your worldview will shift completely, as if you experienced a revelation. Good luck with your meditations.
