Allahu akbar my friend

>>9137988
What book have you in mind?

>>9137994
I don't mind. I think something the majority of /lit/ would like would be ideal, to ensure the survival of the reading group.

Maybe The Brothers Karamazov or some Nabokov

I'd be interested in this.

not this time, mr FBI

I strangle a girl i love with a cable. I fuck prostitutes whom i don't kill; but when i fall in love with a girl, i strangle her without even taking her clothes off. I actually do it to keep my sanity :^/

Its unorthodox but I'd actually say read The Social Contract first since it's much easier and provides an entry level amount of knowledge about the concept.

Aside from that some history of the Civil War is probably a good idea, so you know where Hobbes is coming from historically and politically.

>>9137448
Thank you anon, i read Locke's two treatises of goverment before trying to read this one, so i have a minimal notion of what hobbes talk in Leviathan, but i will consider reading Rousseau frist too.

Im in chapter 4 or so, and i feel like i dont have enough knowledge to understand completely what is talking about regarding to lenguage ,thought and logic, i suppose he was referencing the greeks, but i don't know where to start with those. Plato's republic and Aristotle are a must to understand hobbes?

>>9137448
Who's civil war? This book preceded the US civil war by 200+ years.

i like it, but because long titles remind me of shitposting, and i unironically like shitposts.

I will use it for my own book

>The more primary sources the better
Epictetus, which that is NOT a bust of in your picture, despite what googole says, Seneca the younger, Marcus Aurelius, etc.
I've no idea what could be hippy-dippy in a contemporary rundown of the whole thing in something contemporary, so you're on your own. There's a likely a list in the sticky, but beyond that, read some reviews (for the contemporary)

Zazdroszczę a może tylko mi się wydaje, że zazdroszczę tym, których biografię można napisać lub którzy potrafią napisać własną. W tych niespójnych impresjach, których wcale nie chcę czynić spójnymi, przedstawiam obojętnie moją autobiografię bez faktów, moją historię pozbawioną życia. To są moje Wyznania, a jeżeli niczego w nich nie mówię, to dlatego, że nie mam nic do powiedzenia.

Jesus wept.

The mermaids wake us and we drown.

She set her white face to him, passive, like a helpless animal. Her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.

Marcinie, to jest po prostu marne. Rozumiem, że nie masz życia. Literatura Ci z tym nie pomoże. Nie próbuj z tej pustki czynić artystycznej wartości, lecz zacznij żyć, żebyś nie musiał takich rzeczy już pisać.
Przy okazji, popraw, proszę, interpunkcję. Bierzesz się za literaturę nie znając gramatyki. Wstyd.
>Zazdroszczę a może tylko mi się wydaje, że zazdroszczę
Błąd. Powinno być:

Homos are more sensitive and take time to appreciate beauty which takes a lot of time. Sensitive straight men tend to write novels about existence in the bigger sense.

>>9136748
>Does the experience of being Other
i think so. being different probably fosters the desire to share your experiences.

Other in what sense?

As a straight man I'm attracted to women. I'm the same as other straight men.
A straight women is attracted to men. Women are different to me.
A homosexual man is attracted to men. He's as different as a woman.

Same difference between man-woman and man-gay man. It's just sexual preference, favoring X thing to fuck and not Y, or fucking both.

Their "otherness" comes from being cast aside, being clichéd and ostracized, the same way as blacks in racist places, nerds among jocks, autists among normies. They're outcasts.


> Homos are more sensitive and take time to appreciate beauty which takes a lot of time.

Homos =/= le gay meme from early 00's comedies.
They're people like you and me. Two of them are as different to teach other as you and me. Gay men are not necessarily feminine or sensitive.

Can you illustrate why it isn't?

You plebe

Anything goes, then?
