Who on here has actually read this? What did you think of it?

Is he actually Alt-Right, or some kind of right, or are just the right people trying to attach his movement to someone actually inteligent?
I would be interest because the connections with Deleuze and all the antihumanism, but you know, I already pass the times of reading Evola and relateds.
Been a while but sometimes I pick out a random essay and read it. The one about Kant of the Ecstasy of Pain was beautiful and compelling.
Recs on particular essays?
>>9294783
His work post-2013 is neoreationary and he's probably the second most influential philosopher in that movement. Before that, it's a weird mix. If you go all the way back to the eighties he's a Marxist but he gradually becomes more right wing. Read his "Dark Enlightenment" essay.

Hello there, French dude here.
Could you explain to me why English academic milieux seem to fetishize French literature as some pinnacle of knowledge or of social sciences.
Anglo-saxon lit has always looked to me as much more diversed, straightforward and, quite frankly, using to its own avail the much more flexible language that is English. Same could be said with Russian lit, more poignant and rooted in the reality of human condition.
>>9294592
For the same reason that Frenchies fetishize Edgar Allan Poe
Exoticism
C'est une bait. Le Sage et la Hide.
>>9294596
I'd say Oscar Wilde was a stronger influence on French lit that Poe ever was. But Wilde was gay so...

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Is this series worth watching? I'm very new to literature in general.

Is stuff like supermegacomics the post-modern equivalent of literature?
>>9294548
Supermega was an ironic meme years before ironic memes reached any level of popularity.
>>9294728
It isn't ironic, it's post-ironic.

Are book remakes a thing? Has an author ever remade their own book?

>Has an author ever remade their own book?
don't know about that, but steven fry (poorly) remade the count of monte cristo
keller rewrote, rearranged and republished "green henry" under same title after it had already been circulating on mass market for decades.

About to finish this book, I think it deserves a heartfelt recommendation.
The imagery of the interplay between benefactor and apprentice is perhaps the best iconography of one's journey to knowledge I've ever seen - the psychedelic sequences don't need any more praise then they contain themselves.
The structural and analysis is interesting in its trying to construct a structure for a method of learning alien to the Western one, though Castaneda underestimates the role of volition and aim in the rituals described. They're interestingly similar to chaos magic in that respect.
I know there are strong doubts on the veridicity of the informations contained in this book, but I feel it's worthy enough even if as a work of fiction.
It was fun when I was 20 and on drugs.

Finally, someone who appreciates the comfiness of this wonderfully disturbing book.. That a 24 yr old wrote it should be submitted to the Vatican as a miracle case in point.

I'm thinking about starting a collection and I wanted to know your opinion of which one is better.

Penguin for the spines and larger catalog.
Oxford for the elitism.

Why?
>>9294431
Because it gives the impression that you bought them to read them, not to have them as decoration.
