Nobody has actually read it.
It's been a meme for 90 years.

It's fucking boring man. Just read the first 200 pages and you get the gist of it. That's what I did.

Yes. It's top two best things I've ever read.

Tropic of cancer by Henry miller?

>>9248776
No but thanks, I'll check that out soon.

Also iirc, the title is just the mc's first and last name.

I love how the illiterate reddit mods delete my post but allow this pseud free range to rape this board with his remembrance of polemic sophists

Why was your post deleted?

I also mis him.

It seems like English isn't your first language. I'm gonna keep readin, but you should know that there are a lot of grammar errors in this

I liked it. Reminded me of a story by Asimov called "Let there be light..."

It's funny... your grammar is seriously poor, but you write with a better "rhythm of thought" and a more natural voice than the great majority of /lit/.

If you clean up your grammar, I can see you goin somewhere with this stuff, OP. Not "goin somewhere" as in becoming some big author guy, but in gettin people to read and enjoy your works.

Yes, English is not my first language. And, I don't really know what to use for grammar correction. I used Grammarly, but it doesn't highlight all the mistakes.

Thanks for the feedback.

I don't have a cat.

Obadiah did nothing wrong

Have not read them since jr. high/high school but I have fond memories. Sharp is a badass. I also read his story about an archer/king or something like that. Don't remember much except the ending but it was badass.

Bernard was one of my favorite authors as a teenager.

Not so sure if I'd read him now, but he's still strongly preferable to young adult fags.

>magic and magical creatures exist but are not commonly seen or understood as such,

I'm talking about worlds where magic is common place, as are magical creatures like dragons.

>>9248562
there are like at least 5 million anime where magic exists simultaneously with technologically driven empires

honestly though just play Final Fantasy VI

I'm trying to think of a word that means something along the lines of "wrongly accused perception". Askance was the closest word I could find, but that doesn't fit the position in the sentence.

Consider the following sentence:

"Her speech dismissed the perception that her stance on gun laws was influenced by political lobbyists."

You didn't even try to answer the damn question for yourself
There wasn't even an attempt
Besides, why does Nietzsche trigger you so?

I AM.

Does smacking a boil with a thick book like a Bible really work? What books would you recommend smacking a boil with?

The Cleanest Race

you probably just think there's a lack of significant thinkers because of the linguistic block, the specifics of asian culture are still pretty isolated from common western knowledge.

look up the Kyoto School for more contemporary thinkers, or for classical thinkers look up Dōgen.

The Kyoto School including Keiji Nishitani were quite influential but a lot of the work hasn't been translated very well yet. I'm pretty sure he studied under Heidegger for a while

DT Suzuki is probably the most important philosopher for understanding how Buddhism was popularized in the west.
