Any /lit/-law bros here? I'm looking for recommendations for podcasts, books, and law intellectuals.
>tfw asked dad about going to law school and he nearly shot me
>>9114476
First year? Because I know no one else who'd voluntarily cramp their free time with even more law-related shit.
>>9114476
>Been in law school for three years
Yeah you're a first year. Find a hobby. I'm autistic and even i think I read about law too much with school alone.
What is some essential libertarian literature?
t. Ayn Rand fan trying to force others to read his heroine because he got butthurt by the other thread >>9113352
The only good thing a libertarian could hope to write is a suicide note.
>>9113812
Actually no, just legitimately curious. I just found that other thread and felt stupid for making this one.
Given that /his/ is practically brain dead, this board could be a better place to recommend history books.
I'll start: The Reformation in the Cities: the appeal of Protestantism to 16th century Germany and Switzerland by Steven Ozment

Sounds interesting. Thanks senpai.
There is an astounding amount of classic LGBT literature out there. Wanting to read LGBT literature isn't a justification for reading fan fiction garbage which doesn't portray homosexuals in realistic lights at all. They just want to read trite fairytale garbage.
"Be the gay Shakespeare" indeed, the man was bisexual.
Want to read gay literature? Start with the Greeks.
>implying they actually fucking read
>>9132087
the Greeks were hardly modernly gay. They were men, lovers.
>>9132087
>ugh, its called Yaoi mom, you wouldn't get it

So far it's nothing but pure edge. Does it get any better? I realize that Neet-she was extremely educated (he sure loves to show it but dumping latin everywhere for no reason) so his fedoratipping has some substance behind it, but it's still fucking obnoxious, all he does is shitposting about 2500 years of philsophy and claims that everyone but him is a retard. How do you approach philosophy anyway? Should I struggle through with the works in which the premises set by the author clearly contradict my beliefs to try and prove myself wrong, or there's a place where dropping is a good idea?
Clearly you don't have the will to power.
No, Nietzsche's brand of existentialism is pretty bland and selfish. His aphorisms were arguably the best part.
Kierkegaard is a bit more wholesome and intelligent if you ask me.
your entire question is posed in such a terribly arrogant way that I think you might not be ready for philosophy, let alone Nietzsche.

What are some good postmodern door-stoppers?
>good

Isn't this a contradiction? Not in the way that bashes pomo but isn't pomo against calling anything good or bad? Or anything at all really?
>good postmodern
There are none.

Is it pathetic to go back to college at the age of 26 to study library sciences?
no
>>9131345
I got offered a job at a local library just because I went there alot and had a generic history degree.
If you are either European or a rich murrican it cant hurt, otherwise just keep your eyes open.
>>9131357
Where are you?
In my country you need to have an MA in library sciences to work in a library, most of the time anyway. Fucking kill me.
Is Giacomo Leopardi the most depressed and depressive writer in the Western canon?
Compared to him Schopenhauer is a wishy washy happy chad.

That's literally Kierkegaard explaining why you should be clearly grounded in a higher power. It's like a bunch of brainlets crying and one person is like 'this is why I would cry if I were a brainlet'

>What is life? The journey of a sick cripple carrying an enormous load on his back across steep mountains and impossibly bleak, barren, unforgiving lands through snow, frost, rain, wind, and scorching heat, walking days and nights on end to arrive at some precipice or ditch into which he’s fated to fall.

I've recently developed an interest in ornithology.
What are some good books on birds? Preferably with details, pictures, a comprehensive work on the avian dinosaurs.
Leave links if you can, it's hard to find books on such topics on the net.
google Jan Hanzak, he had big book with pictures (however mostly b&w in my version) about matter
I enjoyed "Where song began" by Tim Low.
>>9131286
A modern classic if fiction.
How can anyone familiar with the history of philosophy still think that it's something akin to a scientific discipline that strives for truth? Philosophy is a conversation with tradition, and a framework for interpreting that tradition in light of current social reality.
Logical analysis and autism over symbolic logic is pointless, philosophical questions aren't "solved", they are useful worldviews that reflect our understanding of the world. Every notion progress is subjective to a specific tradition of philosophy.
when will these damned continentalfags get the FUCK off my board?
>>9131160
When anglos develop a good argument to refute historicism, and stop ignoring philosophers who don't fit with their chosen methodology.
>>9131186
Continental philosophy is pretty much entirely responsible for every trannie and SJW in existence.
The older I get the more I worry about what will happen when I die. Where does Christianity stand on shitposting? Is it okay since I don't mean any of it or should we stop? Asking for a friend.
>>9130966
youll burn in hell forever if u been a bad boy if your a good boy youll get heaven and get to watch others get tortured :) is fucking epic!
>>9130990
But is shitposting good boy or bad boy? Is it either?
>>9130966
theres a special place in hell for people who think it is funny to shitpost without some deeper meaning.
So, /lit/, I think it's time we had a talk.. A talk about the great G.R.R.
Anyone up for a discussion about that series that has reached heights as great as Tolkien? Yes? Good. Well, let me begin...
What do you think the Khaleesi shall do once she 'returns', per se - as if Christ - to Westeros. Do you think, for the sake of parlance, G.R.R. is trying to resurrect religious ideas in his works? I may be an avowed atheist, but for me, these questions cannot be left unresolved. Sometimes, occasionally my curiosity - that thirst to know a writer inside, as well as out - takes over my better, reasoned self. And though this better self is apt to listen to the birdsong of Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, et al when it comes to that death-cult which is religion, I cannot help but be moved, nay transcended, by those stories of the Red Melisandre, the Old Gods and New... Let us discuss the theology of Westeros, and Known World. Please, let me know of your opinions, your knowledge on this matter... It will please me...
>when you roll up in a thread 'xpectin erybody to already be up on op's ass but ain't nobody took the bait yet.
>>9130967
Bait? Please leave this thread before I send you back to the Gods, Old and New. Replies in gravitas only...

Is this book unjustly hated because it is in the high school curriculum?
>it ain't bad and it ain't sin if I cheat on my husband and fuck a priest if love is involved teehee :)
>>9130882
How is your reductionist plot summary relevant to my question?
>>9130873
I hate it because I had to read it in my AP class.
Not sure if it's just me, but I immediately began to hate any book that a teacher made me read in high school. It's probably a good book, but I had prejudices against it when I had access to it, and by now it's not worth trying to affirm anything.
Quite honestly, I probably would never have heard about this book had it not been for that class.
