Anyone who reads in public when they have no real legitimate reason to be doing so is a fucking douche. And there's never really a good enough reason. They just want to be seen reading. And that's douchey.

>>9151264
Depends on the bar. Some are pubby places where there's hardly place or time to read and some are more relaxed.
If you're really adamant about this, try finding a quiet bar that's not busy and obviously don't sit at the fucking counter.
Also if you're gonna be going to a bar everyday you're gonna become an alcoholic.
Just go to the fucking library.

>ps: im gay so it would be a gay bar, but i dont think thats really relevant

Well media paints gay bars as spots for gay men to get drunk, hook up and then go fuck each other in the toilet. If there's any truth to that, sounds like a fantastic reading environment.

Anthony Bordain's newest cookbook is pretty good. All basic recipes + a Ralph's Steadmen cover.

"a randomrandom number between zero and one"
*assume only integers*
only integers between zero and one are [0, 1]
highest number = 1
> if first nuimber that comes up is 1, hold
> if get 0, press button for 1, hold

both have 1 has highest number
prize money split 50/50
no need to rechoose numbers
both players reassign gender as male
walk off studio premises

~ the end~

0.5 seems like the obvious answer which means it's probably wrong, but I'll submit it anyway.

Lol

how many job prospects are you going to have after failing out of your stem degree?

>>9147683
Why? Do a degree that will get you a job you might enjoy. College is 3-5 years. Working life is next 40.

I'm looking for a book where kids have to act like adults.

Especially in some kind of supernatural crisis. Why? Who knows. Is that a fetish? Can fetishes be non-sexual?

>>9132175
It's called having an interest or a hobby, you dumb millennial.

>>9132188
My hobby is reading about children acting like adults? I think you're confused.

>>9152189
I just read this gimmicky mother fucker. I'll give him one more shot. but if I get another book that's one giant gimmick you better believe I'll be in every mcelroy thread telling people he's shit.

>>9152189
Yes, but no one has ever read him.

He should stick to podcasts

Sous le soleil de satan - I will never even think of a 16-y-o girl. They're batshit crazy and dangerous.

>>9152129
Mouchette was great, as are his writings on technology.

What's his best?

>>9152400
Monsieur Ouine was my favorite. I think it's translated in english as the Open Mind. Kind of similar to Diary of a Country Priest but more magical realism involved.

>>9151882
Quick rundown on that book?

Freud and Jung couldn't be further apart.

Freud is the example of a rationalism taken to the degree that it can pick up sentiment again, as a total stranger to it.

Jung just fell back into pure primitivism again. At the end of his life, he believed that the supernatural was real, and that the unconscious was reality.

The great flaw, imo, with the idea of the collective unconscious is that it doesn't need to be there. It's enough for all the people of the world to have similar myths simply on the basis of their similar experiences. There doesn't need to be a big over-spirit collecting the information.

If people live in the same zones and fight the same animals, they will form the same myths, because those same myths will apply to the same experiences, you know?

I think that Freud is super-beyond and still not fully understood, even now. And I think Jung used his framework as a way to invent appealing mythologies.

I mean, they're both mythologies, but Freud's are much stranger and more interesting. But more... evil, somehow.

idk

Thanks, i'm going to read them both but that's a nice overview.

>and what Joyce called the finest story he ever read.

No, Joyce was referring to "How Much Land Does a Man Need?"

> This reading group has finished: Makioka Sisters, Divine Comedy, Petersburg, Quixote

damn, I'm impressed. Every time I check the discord it's some losers talking about their fapping schedules and social anxiety.

>5 chapters a day
Do you people not have jobs?

>>9151902
>No, Joyce was referring to "How Much Land Does a Man Need?
you are correct, apologies. Misread pap bloom's book. As for the losers talking about fapping schedules, maybe in the past, we have purged them now.

>>9151904
thats like 50 pages a day. If you can't handle that then just read it slower.
