Why do I see a lot of teen girls praising this book on Booktube and other online communities? What is about this particular book that attracts women? Are they just Francophiles who pretend to have read it?
Its an incredibly long book. Why do women like it so much over Tolstoy's works (War and Peace)?
Is Les Mis YA-tier?
Seeing only female booktubers reviewing a classic is usually a sign to remove it from your TBR.
You only want to talk about carli claire m8
>>9146408
because le musical (aka le movie)
>>9146419
This, none of those girls have read it. They saw the movie and maybe read the script to the musical. Some of them probably don't even know it's a book, or who wrote it.
Keep it on your list next to W&P.
Write her a personal love letter ITT, faggot.
How else do you expect her to love you?
I don't know enough about love to do that
I would but I don't think alcohol cares how I feel about it.
If I caught anybody loving me I'd kill them with a dirty screwdriver.
It's all they'd deserve.
just finished reading norwegian wood
couldnt put it down
plus i didnt want to do my law school readings
absolutely loved it
what were your thoughts? feelings? comments?
what book similar to norweign wood should i pick up next?
i heard murakami's other works are unlike norweign wood, a lot more "magical" as some say, and im unsure if i would like that, since some who were a fan of his more "murakami" books did not like norwegian wood
>>9146395
All of Murakami's books are melancholic as fuck. So if you liked this, you'll probably like the rest of his catalog.
i had the same feeling with wind-up bird chronicle
i just couldnt get enough of the atmosphere
You should probably check this out OP
Is this view justified in any Catholic writings anywhere? Even if you live such a life, sincere confession aught to fix things, right? Whereas Atheism is a mortal sin. Furthermore, is it a sin to pay your employees minimum wages? Does papal infallibility trump prior doctrine?
Modern Catholicism supported by text thread.
>>9146373
I definitely have more respect for someone who is honest about their religious status than I do for a hypocrite. See: Pharisees+Sadducees vs. literally anyone else.
I'm a Protestant though, so don't take my word for it.
>>9146373
This new pope is the antichrist. Prepare yourself for Reformation part 2: Electric Boogaloo
How many lambs without, how many wolves within!
A catholic anon on here or r9k was criticizing protestants and the 'gospel of wealth', and i agree with him. It's wrong to be avaricious or usurious, and you don't need to read the Bible to know that exploiting the poor is wrong. Even if they give large sums to private charity, remember the story of the woman with the two coins.
It is better to be in the church, as indeed we are called to take part in the body and to gather with other believers, but I do not believe that all of the elect will come from within it; many who are in it will perish.
>"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
The sacraments are cute, but ultimately symbolic rather than meaningful in themselves. As Jesus said to the thief on the cross: "Today you will be with me in Paradise!"
That said, minimum wage can be a fair wage for certain jobs, and we live in a fallen world so we're always going to fall short of God's ideal. We just have to try our best.
Only God knows our heart- not Pope Francis.
>>9146383

I don't particularly like him, but who am I to judge?
Why do people even bother writing books after this?
Nothing will surpass it.

THE STRANGE thing was, he said, how they screamed every night at midnight. I do not know why they screamed at that time. We were in the harbor and they were all on the pier and at midnight they started screaming. We used to turn the searchlight on them to quiet them. That always did the trick. We'd run the searchlight up and down over them two or three times and they stopped it. One time I was senior officer on the pier and a Turkish officer came up to me in a frightful rage because one of our sailors had been most insulting to him. So I told him the fellow would be sent on ship and be most severely punished. I asked him to point him out. So he pointed out a gunner's mate, most inoffensive chap. Said he'd been most frightfully and repeatedly insulting; talking to me through an interpreter. I couldn't imagine how the gunner's mate knew enough Turkish to be insulting. I called him over and said, "And just in case you should have spoken to any Turkish officers."
"I haven't spoken to any of them, sir."
"I'm quite sure of it," I said, "but you'd best go on board ship and not come ashore again for the rest of the day."
Then I told the Turk the man was being sent on board ship and would be most severely dealt with. Oh most rigorously. He felt topping about it. Great friends we were.

The worst, he said, were the women with dead babies. You couldn't get the women to give up their dead babies. They'd have babies dead for six days. Wouldn't give them up. Nothing you could do about it. Had to take them away finally. Then there was an old lady, most extraordinary case. I told it to a doctor and he said I was lying. We were clearing them off the pier, had to clear off the dead ones, and this old woman was lying on a sort of litter. They said, "Will you have a look at her, sir?" So I had a look at her and just then she died and went absolutely stiff. Her legs drew up and she drew up from the waist and went quite rigid. Exactly as though she had been dead over night. She was quite dead and absolutely rigid. I told a medical chap about it and he told me it was impossible.
They were all out there on the pier and it wasn't at all like an earthquake or that sort of thing because they never knew about the Turk. They never knew what the old Turk would do. You remember when they ordered us not to come in to take off anj more? I had the wind up when we came in that morning. He had any amount of batteries and could have blown us clean out of the water. We were going to come in, run close along the pier, let go the front and rear anchors and then shell the Turkish quarter of the town. They would have blown us out of the water but we would have blown the town simply to hell. They just fired a few blank charges at us as we came in. Kemal came down and sacked the Turkish commander. For exceeding his authority or some such thing. He got a bit above himself. It would have been the hell of a mess.
You remember the harbor. There were plenty of nice things floating around in it. That was the only time in my life I got so I dreamed about things. You didn't mind the women who were having babies as you did those with the dead ones. They had them all right. Surprising how few of them died. You just covered them over with something and let them go to it. They'd always pick out the darkest place in the hold to have them. None of them minded anything once they got off the pier.
The Greeks were nice chaps too. When they evacuated they had all their baggage animals they couldn't take off with them so they just broke their forelegs and dumped them into the shallow witer. All those mules with their forelegs broken pushed over into the shallow water. It was all a pleasant business. My word yes a most pleasant business.

I can't read more than 2-3 hours a day at a time. I want to read more. But, I can't. I find no interest after 2-3 hours. Even the book is so interesting for me to read. Is there any way to grow the strength to read more than 2-3 hours a day?
>>9146162
Just read intermittently throughout the day, you fag.
>>9146162
>2-3 hours a day at a time
>at a time
do you mean 'without any pause'?
Feel lucky that you are still physically capable of reading after 2-3 hours. After reading for an hour my vision gets so blurry that I have to stop even though I want to continue

Hi /lit/ what else would you recommend for my non fiction?
>>9145728
>That much Chomsky and no Manufacturing Consent
I would read outside your comfort zone, but if you want more of the same, A Bright Shining Lie is quite good.
If you are interested in real non-fiction without the anti-neo-imperialism bias you should use oxfordbibliographies.
>>9145728
>what else
Variety for a start.
>>9145728
Freakonomics. Anything by nick bostrom or michael lewis. Roosevelt trilogy by edmund morris. The universe series by brian greene. Chomskys latest was great. Thats the first few that popped in my head
For the longest time I couldn't find any of Stimer's work. I couldn't understand why until I realized that I have been calling him the wrong name for the longest time.
It's Stirner, not Stimer.
A fucking font was the only thing in the way of me figuring out what the hell everyone was talking about.
Fuck me.

Oh, do not ask

Can you fart while we fuck?
What's the point of it all? That's it.
Why don't people view him more highly?
He beat Stirner to the punch by over 50 years.

Stirner has a funny picture

His name is literally on the picture.
