You guys are seriously cucks. From Joyce to Dostoevsky to Burroughs most writers are degenerate incarnate and use their vile works to promote cuckoldry and other sick social deviancy. Prove to me why any true Aryan person should read "great" Literature which is filled with jews and their degenerate cultural marxist puppets instead of engaging in redpilled shit such as MLP:FIM and Nickelodeon.

>Prove to me why any true Aryan person should read blah blah blah...
That sounds like some heavy academic work and I only do that when I'm getting paid. Good luck.

What part of Cuckolding being the thinking man's fetish do you not understand?

I don't actively care about politics and this thread is not supposed to be about politics that go beyond the question so please don't let this thread devolve into a shitshow. I just want my question answered.
I read the first 50 pages of the brothers Karamazov and I'm confused since I don't get what Dostojewski means by "liberal". He refers to Miussow in that way while he implies that his personal political philosophy somewhat aligns with Proudhon and Bakunin. Is it simply a (translation) error and he's actually meant to be a left-libertarian or is there a definition of liberal that I don't know about?
>>9216822
Liberal means someone that supports capitalism. In the classical liberal sense. So John Locke or Thomas Jefferson. Or me!!
>>9216822
Ask pol, they know a lot about politics
After reading pic related I thought "man, there is no way a woman could ever really understand this book"
Are there any books that a woman could understand on a level that a man never could?

Is this the newest post-modern masterpiece?
Nice to know that noted intellectual Ben Shapiro endorses it.
Well, he kind of stole the idea from David King's trump book, which was in itself probably derivative of another work
It's a good gag gift but not a masterpiece
>>9216781
Ben Shapiro is almost as great a philosopher as Sam Harris

Yes, love it, fantastic movie for when you have a hangover
Pynchon gave it his seal of approval also
i love it but the film's focalizing of the impressionist narrative seems wrong? on an event-by-event basis the film is faithful, typical filmic exclusions and abridgements aside, but the compass is off... PTA has led us to inferrences i don't think pynchon was trying to make. maybe it is inherent in the process of filmic adaptation, maybe it is in untangling and retelling pynchon's complex writing, but it feels not like the novel itself but a commentary on the novel, a layman's commentary on a work beyond his depth.
anyways... yeah i like it.
Which publisher has the best version of this, and why?
>>9216693
Nice thread op, reading your pic related version right now, p. comfy/10. If you aren't a true hardcore weeb about terminology his footnotes are fine for the story.
>>9216693
In my view the Alan Alda version is definitive

are you cute?
Is it possible to think like, and come across as, a college educated individual if I have never been to college? I was able to get a decent job without a degree, but now I'm wondering how to be a well-read, intelligent individual. Can I accomplish this on my own? Or is engaging in academia a vital part of the process of learning how to be a good thinker? Any book recommendations on what thinking like a college educated person is like?
yes
people who just study their undergrad are glorified highschoolers

Of course?
Ordered a copy that should arrive sometime next week. It has god-tier reviews in Goodreads and has been compared to War and Peace.
Thoughts?
>>9216400
No not really
No need for a reading group. It's a lot more about ordinary citizens and civilians (with much inspiration from Chekhov whom Grossman admired) from concentration camps in Germany to the troop reserves in the Caucasus's. But like War and Peace, lots of characters.
What I find a lot more interesting is that it's a snapshot of the history and culture from WWII that is almost entirely gone today. Grossman clearly denounces both the constructs of Fascism and Communism on fundamental and moral levels but still supplies his own counterarguments like a devil's advocat through his characters. You'll also find some Russian lit discussion from Russians, how people ironically called Dosto's The Possessed a reactionary text and how Grossman thinks that the USSR are the last ones to understand Chekhov and are ignorant on Tolstoy. It's helpful if you know about Stalingrad and the general history surrounding the invasion of Russia. Read it by yourself if you do read it, and if you're looking for an emotional ride, you'll probably get that too

I'm trying to find a specific novel. I remember reading about it in the NY Times book review more than three years ago. If I remember correctly, its about a day in the life of a meth addict in either Arizona or California. It's a very Naked Lunch-esque novel, with some Joyce thrown in. I can't find it anywhere, but I remember the cover art had a similar style to pic related.
Appreciate whatever lead you can give me. Thanks!

Interesting. This guy apparently lives in the same city as me.
Nevermind, I found it. It was in the New Yorker, not the NY Times.
Its called "Jack, July" by Victor Lodato. Heres the link if you are interested.
