it was extremely gay. not memeing

It's pretty straight.

It's a bisexual meme.

I was in solitary confinement for a while once. It fucking sucks. It made me realize that books were just some guy sitting in your room telling you shit, but from really far away, and sometimes from beyond the grave in a decidedly spooky manner. Being alone sucks, man. But it's interesting, you can't really be alone, taking a page from another thread, everything that surrounds you is just a piece of someone else, sitting alone in your room? that desk is made by someone, it's a phantom of a promise that there is still some permanence to the social world that you can potentially return to. Even nature has a creeping feeling of a personality.

>>9059125
You must be a really uninteresting person then.
Also you sound shizo.

I doubt I'm schizophrenic, that seems like it would have come up. No, I'm fairly interesting, do cool things, think cool things, but everyone has their limit locked in a small room for days and days and days, afforded no tools, just food and water, occasional book you read 4-5 times, no pen or paper, since you're in solitary, too dangerous. how many times can you sing all the songs you know? how many hours can you contemplate your navel? it all sounds like fun and games until you're in the thick of it, my friend.

Isn't that the plot of Naruto?

>>9059095
I'm sorry I don't watch hentai what's a "Naruto"

>>9059089
I prefer: "It looks like the real axe murderer was love, all along."

>How does one improve one's poetry interpretation skills?

Read every word carefully, try to understand and see the reason and value of every word chosen.

>>9059080
Basically the same way one improves any other skill. Get an intro to poetry textbook and read it. The practice

Maybe finish learning English before you start something harder.

>latin
>ancient
But it's not? It was in active use by literary academia and science and only fell out of fashion ~200 years ago
>Greek has the cool alphabet, mysterious alhpabet
Greek's alphabet is extremely similar to latin/romance. If you want a cool alphabet you should look at arabic or korean

Latin has been kept alive by the pure power of pseuds wanting to sound smart. It is the only choice

Have you tried killing yourself?

Kant.

>>9058787
Sam Harris have no idea about what logic and reason actually is. His philosophy is based on common sense more than everything else.

>>9058794
Can Kant be tackled without too much prerequisite knowledge?

i don't belong to a book club but burmese days is one of my favourites by Orwell

>>9058598
Thanks for this thread, OP. I just ordered Burmese Days. As an Indian i am ashamed to say there is not much of Orwell being taught in Indian schools. So, taking inspiration from you, i have started a book club in my building. Good Luck to You as well. I guess the idea would be to let people read at their own pace and wait for everyone to catch up. I don't want to rush anyone because reading Orwell for the first time is a once in a lifetime experience.

>>9058734
Glad to hear it! I'm in australia. is Orwell popular or influential in india?
I've read a bit of rudyard kiplings books, especially Kim, which i like a lot.

my diary desu

>By the logic of Stevian Heartbound, the reviews of people who don't have a direct financial incentive to sell their books are worthless
Thankyou for your worthless opinion.

>complete failure
She was pretty huge in the early 90s, though. And the lack of respect she elicits is due to her political views more than anything else.

well ain't that JUST some shit
