THIS DICK AINT FREE
What are some of the essential works for one eager to delve into this school of thought? I've found myself recently reading Age of Enlightenment thinkers and I've had a significantly fruitful experience understanding their philosophy in terms of atheistic individualism and pursuit of liberty
Although I still find myself leaning to the left, as a former libertarian socialist I can't help but see the worrying similarities of neoliberalist global policies of free trade which have essentially produced the third world
Plus my disdain for communism only really goes so far and I really do not see it as such a dangerous ideology as say 'fascism'
Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations
then read Mises and Rothbard

I mean like I obviously detest Stalinism, and any form of authoritarian communism
But for instance a good friend of mine is an anarcho-communist and I do find a lot of positions as understandable if not quite utopian

I have an 8 inch penis in case you were wondering
which edition of the Canterbury tales has the best notes?
riverside maybe?
Riverside, overall, though Norton and Broadview also have decent editions. The Broadview Companion to Chaucer, though, is the best orientation I know of (and I've taught the Tales to third-year students). Check it out:

and which is the most poetic?
for someone who cares more about poetry then accuracy.
Should we be more lenient towards writers if they have mental disorders?
Pic related; has OCD.
You cannot write a good book without having a mental disorder.
>>9362032
Being a shitty writer naturally is as much a handicap to writing as being a shitty writer because of a mental disorder. The latter is considered more significant due to being a quantifiable thing.
Which would mean that either I would have to make the assumption that all writers make the same effort and appraise them all as equals, or set the same bar for all individual writers. I can sympathize with the fact the he's mentally ill, but it doesn't make me judge his work to be any higher. It's far too difficult to consider every individual problem for each and every writer, most are not as measurable, in any case.
So, no. And his writing is shite.
No, Jesus had holes in his hands yet still found a way to write the New Testament
1000+ pages of filler or what? Is it worth the time?
So what if it's 1000 pages. You could still read it in one sit

No. Absolutely not
It's not filler; all the vignettes contribute time building the mythos of Derry.
