Who were too carefree or careful, who were too many
Though always few and alone, who went the pace
But ran in circles, who were lamed by fashion,
Who lived in the wrong time or the wrong place,
Who might have caught fire had only a spark occurred,
Who knew all the words but failed to achieve the Word–

Their ghosts are gagged, their books are library flotsam,
Some of their names–not all–we learnt in school
But, life being short, we rarely read their poems,
Mere source-books now to point or except a rule,
While those opinions which rank them high are based
On a wish to be different or on lack of taste.

In spite of and because of which, we later
Suitors to their mistress (who, unlike them, stays young)
Do right to hang on the grave of each a trophy
Such as, if solvent, he would himself have hung
Above himself; these debtors preclude our scorn–
Did we not underwrite them when we were born?

Writer, fuck. First step, write writer when you intend to.

A large parrot that makes screeching sounds incessantly.

Low quality bait but I think you really did your best effort here.

Realize that Peter Hitchens is the greatest intellectual currently alive

He is virtuous as all Hell, would never accept tattoos or piercings, drugs, promiscuity, or interracial marriage.

They're bros.

Their dad is a dick.

I lol'd. Now, back to your containment board, memelord.

It's the greatest if you're a Christian atheist like me

>t. Zizek

That's a good book.
I mean, where else can you find anything so seriously interpreted about a bet between god and satan?

Also, I love the way god goes "here, have new children" by the end. Just like that.

the wisdom literature is great, pleb

Meditate.

Gorilla Mindset

Is meditation really beneficial? I've heard mixed things about its usefulness. I've tried it myself, though possibly not for very long, and it didn't seem to provide much improvement.

Marx doesn't *require* (emphasis here so someone doesn't crucify me with "dude he's flipping Hegel") any prereqs, and depends on which texts by Adorno---for example, "Notes to Literature" can be read outright, but "Dialectic of Enlightenment?"Nietzsche, Freud, Marx, Weber, a robust understanding of Western intellectual history, etc.

>>9133298
I'll let these /pol/ comments redpill you:

>Pederasty is Frankfurt School Marxist invention. The Jewish Frankfurt School was organized with the goal of deconstructing Western Civilization through the usage of made up pseudo-Theories and what they labeled as "Critiques". In other words, you're regurgitating anti-West hate speech.
> This sort of plan would take a generation or 2 and it should have been implemented long ago the same way the frankfurt school convinced western civilization it was normal to accept niggers and faggots into their society.
>the destruction of the family through feminism, and the encouragement of atheism were both aims of the cultural marxism of the frankfurt school. which was a jewish plot
>DEATH TO THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL AND ITS FOLLOWERS !
>The jewish question is actually true, explaining how they were behind the Frankfurt School which spawned the critical theory that destroyed the family and other moral values

if >>9133349 sounds like paranoid bs to you, congratulations on not being insane.

w/r/t your question, why do you want to read Capital? it's a big boring economics textbook. you'll probably get more out of an anthology if you're coming at Marx cold. no comment on the other two dudes.

What a dumb couple of questions

>I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.

Really makes you think

I have a pretty good memory. It's been a few years since I read the Count but I remember it well. For some reason the first character that comes to mind when I think of it is Luigi Vampa.

Religion and The Medievals saved me in the end though

Shut up, virgin. Your thoughts don't count, because they are obviously being weeded out of our evolutionary trajectory.

>>9132706
Roth, Delillo, McCarthy, Gaddis, Faulkner, Carver, the list goes on

They're shit. Your best work of literature was written by Russian. Not that English are much better, theirs were written by Polack and Irelander, but they at least hove some chicks and glovesalesmens child right after them, therefore they are superior.
