>pretty much reddits essence
You just typed Hypebeasting

>>9291502
Fair enough, that is a pretty autistic term to use. Though you do have to admit that one of the reasons why people hate reddit is that they appraise spectacular novelty rather as opposed to the actual quality of the works.

Hence why shit like this is a thing:

I found the Navidson Record to be very enjoyable, well-written, and genuinely unsettling, but the parts with Johnny whatshisface are fucking insufferable. They don't even feel thematically linked to the Navidson Record.

I haven't read a book by a woman in a decade. I fool myself into believing I'm becoming well rounded while simultaneously ignoring the collective perspective of half of the human population. Every time I walk into the library this piece of shit is staring at me from the rotating display tower. Is it worth a read? I might just read some Ursula Le Guin instead.

They are good in original . Translation to english is terrible - as its loosing its climate and style . not the fault of the translator - i would say , but rather the language . Apparently spanish and Russian translations are good .

in polish 10/10
in english 6-7 /10

The short story collections are pretty clever and interesting.
The main novels on the other hand are so damn bad I can't believe they're by the same writer.

Yes, nobody would've cared without the games.

It's genre fiction. Go to your containment thread, little boy.

depends if you think neoliberalism has value

>>9291039
a bit of both. its good to have some degree of acquaintance with them because their influence is becoming pervasive

e.g. NRx is largely responsible for the concept of "virtue signalling"

>>9291039
it has much more value if you dont know whats it about
quite refreshing when compared to the usual wide choice between:

>>i've finished my book and have free money in the bank which i don't have to pay back yet
>free money
>have to pay it back

I think I see the contradiction. Also, post your book or else it's shit de facto

Dumb question, since Homer probably has never even existed

>>9291385

Into peculating preamble I pour my pungent poetry, dripping particles of prose onto paper, and it slides away, parting with its punctuation which it leaves to rot on the page. I take another pull of my beer.

It is not very impressive.

Did you read it? If you did you would know he didn't actually believe that, but was presenting all of the scenarios that could possibly lead to genuine epistemological skepticism and attempted to refute them

You don't use logic to get an idea of God. You just find the idea in your own mind. It's like doing maths and realizing you have the idea of infinity without having ever perceived anything infinite, and without understanding how you could have invented this idea yourself.
What you say is legit regarding Descartes' proof of God, that is actual not valid. I think most people admit it. The argument of the dream is correctly discarded by Descartes, but the argument of the evil demon is not. - However, it's not relevant regarding the cogito itself, which does not rely of any specific idea.

>they even start to ask you personal questions [about] private problems
Do amerilards seriously do that?
For fuck's sake.

>>9290948
yes.

Bump to shamalesly request a book related and that I can't find anywhere to download.

Righteous Indignation, Andrew Breitbart.
Plz guys, not available in my country.

>>9290877
Just start with the greeks, meaning the Iliad and Odyssey.

>>9290905
This guy is not OP.

>>9290923
Also, thanks for this suggestion. I see them in the suggested reading list. Can you explain to me how this will help me? I'm not asking you to do so rhetorically. I really want to know why it's important.

Will Nicomachean Ethics help? At all?

Also, will taking notes and writing about what I'm reading help me learn? How should I study?

>>9290852
No, its not to late. Now leave this shithole and do something about it.

You think that is late? I'm 28 and have only gone to high school.

>>9290977
at least you didnt drop out in 10th grade. I dont even have a GED.
