why are you holding that piece of garbage like a book

>>9311821
I struggled to hold it in one hand desu senpai.

You mean 'wrapper.'
But really it's called a dust jacket.
While reading, take it off and leave it on your bookshelf, upside-down, where the book ordinarily sits.

Just marry and fuck?

Yes... Yes, you shoud.

Marriage as a legal institution makes no sense. It is a religious ceremony, an oath sworn on the names of the bride and groom, and God. Keep civil unions, if you must, for tax purposes. Leave marriage to the church. It's the only institution that actually gives a shit about it, anyways.

Yes. If it weren't for pagans and atheists the whole of humanity could have been in space with our Lord by now.

Is that Meat Loaf?

Ask coworker as to what it's done to alleviate said problems other than recommend femprop. Has coworker housed a refugee under its roof? Ask how Africa's problems should be your problem; after all, they wuz Kangz and sheeit who should possess the mental werewithal to fix their own problems, right? Ask how Islam - the predominant religion of Africa - is contributing to its own problems.

Tell that bitch it doesn't mean anything to be concerned about it and yap about it to your co-workers and on facebook, you actually have to do something about it for it to be meaningful.

I don't know who this assclown is, but that's some of the most absurd shit I've ever read.

Sounds interesting. I'd like to know too.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Then she bears some breadth?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip:
she is spherical, like a globe; I could find out
countries in her.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
In what part of her body stands Ireland?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
Marry, in her buttocks: I found it out by the bogs.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Where Scotland?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
I found it by the barrenness; hard in the palm of the hand.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Where France?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
In her forehead; armed and reverted, making war
against her heir.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Where England?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
I looked for the chalky cliffs, but I could find no
whiteness in them; but I guess it stood in her chin,
by the salt rheum that ran between France and it.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Where Spain?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
Faith, I saw it not; but I felt it hot in her breath.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Where America, the Indies?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
Oh, sir, upon her nose all o'er embellished with
rubies, carbuncles, sapphires, declining their rich
aspect to the hot breath of Spain; who sent whole
armadoes of caracks to be ballast at her nose.

ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Where stood Belgia, the Netherlands?

DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
Oh, sir, I did not look so low.

Is this dark ecology guy?

What the fuck is wrong with you mate?

Infinite Jest made me want to start drinking, really. The last part of the book was depressing as hell. It was still enjoyable overall, though. Can anyone recommend a book that's similar to the A.A. parts of IJ?

>>9310286
They're probably smoking too much of that dank

>>9310289
what about people who don't abuse any substance and still don't dream?

I haven't been aware of having a dream for 10 years
It's weird

You absolutely need to add Aquinas

>skipping scholastics
Look at this retard

>>9310275
proceed with the peripatetics
dont neglect the neoplatonists
continue with the church fathers
include the islamics
stick around for the scholastics
maintain for the modernists
go on with the germans

Defo don't start Adorno with that. Start with Dialectic of the Enlightenment

Just checked it for you, OP, it's available in english

>>9310217
I ain't interested in Adorno tbqh, I just want get into the aesthetics and heard Aesthetic Theory is v important, but I'm not sure if I can just dive into it directly

If you've read stuff by Adorno, Horkheimer & Marcuse, you're probably more qualified to be dishing out Frankfurt School recs than 99% of this board. Obviously DoE is probably the most essential, which I'm assuming you've read. Check out Illuminations by Benjamin.

>>9310527
>Illuminations by Benjamin.
Thank you. And yes, I've read the big three if I may call them that, but don't really know where to go next or where did it lead to (in terms of thinking/movement/authors)

Checking Wikipedia quickly I have missed out on Habermas and Walter Benjamin, so I'll head to those.

>>9310557
Forgot to add- I know you mentioned Adorno, but definitely check out Minima Moralia by him of you haven't.
