This book. This fucking book. Holy shit.
The modern world is a spectacle. Even the most intimate parts of your lives are partly being commodify.
> "The spectacle is not a collection of images, rather, it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images.
The Facebook friends are a the perfect example of relationships being rendered inauthentic, and spectacular, and false by the society of the spectacle. The same process is occurring in all types of relationships. There is not authentic relationships between people anymore. It's no longer our own words, our own feelings. That's the level of alienation he's talking about.

there is no genuine distinction between authenticity and inauthenticity
no level of commodification can falsify the precondition of the existence of commodification, i.e., what it commodifies
get out more, loser, you can't take ideology off and see what's behind it

It's a good book, but be careful because he is a communist, which is the greatest scourge upon the earth to ever plague mankind. You can identify the problems with our society without supporting some utopian vision that can easily be warped to mean total dictatorship.

Bookworm has all the best interviews.
Paris Review also has great interviews. Yeah it's not a video/audio recording, but don't be a pleb and read them.

I've read IT, The Shining, Pet Sematary, Different Seasons, The Long Walk, and Misery.
IT is my favorite thus far, but I think Misery is the most well written. Where do I go from here?
inb4 King sucks. I know. I don't care.

There's really not much else I'd recommend, he's written a tremendous amount of complete shit, you've already banged out the good stuff.

Read his short story and novella collections, that is where King shines. Pick up All Dark No Stars, and A Bazaar of Bad Dreams.
Anybody know who Zizek is referring to when he alludes to "intelligent conservatives" in interviews and such?

It's a funny meme. There are no intelligent conservatives. Reality has a liberal bias. Too be conservative is too be delusional.

Don't worry, they suck dude. The people who will call you a pleb don't understand them either, they just like saying they do because it makes them look more intelligent.

How has reading changed your perspective on the world? Big or small.
For me, I can no longer stand to watch anime or TV series. Watching 65 episodes of something feels like a colossal waste of time for me. I genuinely feel bad for normies that waste their time watching stupid drivel on Netflix instead of enjoying a concise, insightful novel.
