No, pretty much soft bondage with light pain. Me basically maxes out at medium tier flogging, and once suggests anal plugs.
The only chance that youd think he was kinky is if you HADNT watched porn for the first 20 years of your life 3-4 times a day, with effectiveness of vanilla sexuality diminishing slighty every shame filled orgasm.

What am I, a woman? When I'm horny the only part of my body I want crying is my penis.

alright so I just finished my first Mcelroy and the entire book was a giant gimmick. it left me feeling like I had just read an extremely literary piece of genre fiction (which I guess isn't so bad). there were parts with some really good writing and some added pseudo science bullshit (which I looked up and I'm apparently to stupid to understand). but the gimmick just wasn't all that believable. I feel like the book could have been better without that gimmick. but like I said the gimmick makes it feel like genre fiction. so my question is, do the rest of his books rely heavily on gimmicks? after reading what I just did I feel like they probably do.

Lookout Cartridge has a gimmick of sorts but is good but maybe not worth the effort, Women and Men is excellent but difficult not only to read but to find. It is however 100% worth the time and effort and contains some of the greatest passages I've ever read and reveals itself as you work through it as the masterpiece it really is despite a daunting and to put it lightly confusing beginning

I'm having a hard time synthesizing my ideas and writing. How do I improve? How do I write faster, I'm so slow?

It's kind of personal, but maybe having a schedule will improve your writing.

>>9151442
Okay I can do that. My slow writing is starting to affect my overall college experience.
Are there any books on the subject? I'm scared I might be retarded.

Try to find a method that doesn't go against your behavior.
For example, track down some words, then write the concept you want, all calm and good
>the world is the totality of facts, not of things.
what did he mean by this?
more specifically, why is the world not made up of things? in what way is it's representation as the set of facts more accurate?
What should i read to understand the t.t. better? presumably Russell or G.E. Moore, but what work specifically has helped you understand it?
pls don't answer if you're going to talk out of your ass

Synopsis of his whole work.

>Synopsis of his whole work.
i figured only tt (1-2) would be about that particular phrase, i really doubt the entire word is about explaining the first sentence, and i don't think you thinks so either.
>1 The world is everything that is the case.∗
>1.1 The world is the totality of facts, not of things.
>1.11 The world is determined by the facts, and by these being all the
facts.
>1.12 For the totality of facts determines both what is the case, and
also all that is not the case.
>1.13 The facts in logical space are the world.
>1.2 The world divides into facts.
>1.21 Any one can either be the case or not be the case, and everything
else remain the same.
These don't seem to be the explanation of an idea to a layman, I would think he's expanding on logical positivism. Do i really need to understand all of the work on positivism preceding this work to understand a single sentence?

It's not bad. His best stuff is Coin Locker Babies and Almost Transparent Blue. Popular Hits, In the Miso Soup, From the Fatherland with Love....these and his other novels are sort of these shot to the arm, short and punchy social commentaries. In the Miso Soup is very good, and is about a bit more than it seems at first blush.

>>9151361
I try to read pic related and it bored me on the begining so I give up. I will give a try to ATB and IMS.

Almost transparent blue is a god tier novella.

No, because sophistry actually has practical applications. Philosophy is entirely useless.

I'm so fucking sick of the mountains of people telling me I need to stop using my taste and read / go through tonnes of boring shit.
Dostoevsky and Dickens and a lmost all books written before 1900 are boring as fuck. There are zero worthwhile "insights" in these books, as if that's why I even read books lol.
All philosophies are just one out of infinitely many possible points of view, but some are better marketed than others. I have a constant crushing feeling because pseuds tell me I have to read Plato even when I know it will be BORING AS FUCK, trivial, vague, fallacious shit. I KNOW this before I've even fucking read the republic. The dialogues I have read have been sophistry.
I am SO fucking bored of SICP. All it does is repackage simple stuff and presents it in an overly complicated way. Lisp is nice but if it is never used irl then why do the mental masturbators never shut up about it?
Boredom is a a completely intellectual emotion.

Disgusting. Understandable, but disgusting.
For those of you that live outside of the big markets - USA, UK, Germany, etc... how do you buy books?
I want to buy cheaper physical copies, but my shipping fees from Amazon or other book stores are too high to justify it. And locally the selection is really bad, mostly USSR era books that I have either read, or don't want to read. And of course 99% of it is in my native language, with bad translations.
tl;dr third worlders of /lit/, where do you buy books from?

Are you the same Russian guy who was begging for people to send him books recently?
Post your town either way
>>
>>9151114
No, I am not.
I'm from Bulgaria, in a city near the capital.
If I buy new books, I can afford maybe 1-2 per month.
I want to buy second hand, but second hand books here are mostly trash, and almost entirely in bulgarian, with bad translations and often bad prints.
>>
>>9151092
polack here, i of buyings physical books in local bookstores or through the net, for ebooks i usually go with #bookz
i read translations if the book i'm looking for wasn't originally written in english, french or russian

I am halfway through the sound and the Fury, and I do not like it so far.
Is there a deeper meaning I'm missing, or is this just some experimentation from Faulkner with no real aim à la Finnegan's wake?

I'm looking for two picture books I read as a child.
The first I read in the late 90s, but it might've been (much) older. The story involved a woman being kidnapped by a winged monster who later turns out to be literally heartless (IIRC there was some system similar to the Harry Potter horcruxes where the monster's heart (and possibly some other body parts) where placed somewhere outside of his body, and he was immortal until his out-of-body-heart was destroyed). The monster's death featured a surprising amount of gore.
The second picture book was one I read in the late 90s and featured a story about a group of monsters living in a house together. The monsters leave the house one night and another monster comes out: he's a monster that's hated by all the other monsters. He explores the house. The picture book was quite dark and creepy as far as picture books go.
If anyone recognizes one of these I would be extremely grateful.

I don't want to kill you by Dan Wells
But I think that's like, the third one. Holy shit. I think I read the first two. This is all coming back to me. How fucking weird. I didn't even- this is very upsetting right now.
