Why didn't his mum dip him in the water again holding the other foot? Or use a net.

It would have been nice if Hephaestus made an ankle guard for him instead of that shield.

He realizes that mortality and an unlikely vulnerability, only exploited with the intervention of a god, was the only way to truly cement his place as a timeless hero.

better question is if anyone here ever reads them

Do I look like a fucking brainlet to you?

I only have to glance at a page to remember it for eternity. After that I can replay the story in my head switching the characters out for those from anime.

I reread books because the person I am today is not quite the same person I was years ago. Re-reading books, especially those from my youth, reveal things I never noticed the first time.

It might be worthwhile, but it's infinitely better if you have previously read the author in question.

Reading Blanchot is like reading no one other. Though he's impossible to love, few books have stuck to me as fast as The Space of Literature.

Prove that you are a white male that supports Trump. Then, and only then, can I give you a link

>>9963472
Well, I'm a white person, but I think trump is terrible. It's pretty juvenile to not let someone into a server because of difference of opinion though.

Do you think he memed back at us with this?

>I also write to learn about myself, to learn about my relationships, to catalyze changes in my life, to join the conversation happening with authors over decades talking to one another through novels and short stories and poems and essays and memoirs, to communicate in depth and at length with friends and family, for financial reasons, for fun, to amuse and move myself and others, to do something in which I can use all of me, to do something creative and open-ended and long-term, to play around with language and ideas, to create new sentences and phrases and words, and to create culture as a means to replace other culture instead of complaining about that other culture or being absorbed by that other culture.

Sounds pretty wise

some people like it a lot. i liked it a little but enough to be roughly halfway through the sequel right now.

>>9963145
4/6 are great.

I tried twice but it didn't hold my interest. People seem to love it tho except for the end.

>women wouldn't act like that
Are these the same people who got all pissed at James Damore?

>>9963140
It's true, though. The women would all starve to death in the first week.

please expand upon your OP.

>>9963138
I can recognise sociopaths having dealt with one or two in my lifetime. They tend to put you in a spell, where you only realize that they were manipulating you later. She was constantly putting me down in subtle ways, utterly taking advantage of my politeness. Essentially she made me feel like a fool for an hour, all the while making me believe it was my own fault. My question is this: is this typical of someone who has integrated the shadow? She may have been fully aware of what she was doing, yet I failed to notice her actually helping me, as if she had taken the shadow aspect seriously but not the actual compassion element. It makes me wonder if there is room for genuine kindness in Jungian thought.

The only Pole worth reading is in Antarctica.

Basing on my experience with your pic, I don't think there's an absolute best piece of work, that ruins enjoyment of previous books you've read.
It's just that nothing can top it.

This can't be real

As faux-lofty as his prose. Is there a bigger a tragedy than a silicon valley nerd larping as a victorian upper class?

i'm cringing

I scratch my head, usually until it bleeds or more.

Yeah I twirl my hair too #justgirlthings

I rub my penis until

Multiple books at a time, very rarely do i pick up a book and read only that from begining to end.

I usually write down the things i think about while reading as food for thought later.
