Essays and Aphorisms by Penguin?

Master of eating.

Let S be the set of all sets that do not contain themselves. Tell my /lit/, does S contain itself or not?

>>8991943

First provide an example of a set that does not contain itself

I don't know what Yuro secondary education is like but I don't think it would work out in Burgerland, because trying to engage with critical theory without a solid background in western philosophy is walking before you can crawl.

why would you want to perpetuate that plague?

God, American high schools are dumb.

I don't know about the others, but popular entertainment went to shit because they realized their audience (plebs) will not even know the difference. Why work hard on something when you can phone it in and get just as much money?

Btw, I am totally open to critics on the biography selection, If you have a book that portraits the Mormon in a good light let me know.

Put it in a pastebin and I'll delete what I think you should remove.

Just read the introductions to whatever edition you've got.

i liked it quite a lot, it at least feels different from the typical genre fiction, and it is a step in the right direction. i feel the problem /lit/ has is that it reminds one of plebbit. I think if you go forward from this point, you won't have any problems. I mean, typically I would suggest that someone in your situation would go on to read dostoevsky's crime and punishment, just because it's so damn accessible, while still being rewarding in the sphere of literature. you might try dickens as well, david copperfield is quite long, but can teach you a bit of perseverance. There's a lot out there, and catch-22 isn't a bad start at all.

Did you go from giggling to horror when you read it? Like, did you at one time or another wonder when it stopped being humorous, wondered if the beginning set your mind up to think everything was going to be funny, only to let little things creep in, making you laugh at increasingly more fucked up events until you realized what the hell really happened?

>wallacian
yeah that's not a thing

did he have friends? he looks like he's annoying to be around.

>>8990620
Does wallacian mean writing obnoxious amounts of text that amount to nothing? Because otherwise he has no distinctive style, let alone the influence, to justify the coining of a new term.

>*tips* fedora

Reminds me to start another of these threads on /b/.

Divine intervention.

You were destined to fail because your motivation was getting published.

Now, if you actually liked writing for it;s own sake and didn't just like the idea of telling people you're a published author then maybe you'd have gotten somewhere instead of spending all your writing time jerking off to the idea of getting a booker prize.

>How did the catch up go?

perfect. Story is as captivating as ever.

I can't help but feel Benedetto still has something up his sleeve. I thought he was going to be burned alive in the chimney as retribution for what he did to Bertuccio's step sister

I started reading this ages ago and have slogged through it up to page ~700ish, around where he's just come back from the opera for the first time.

Does it get better? Because I am bored and also slightly bemused at how much of a smug Mary Sue Dantes seems to be.

>>8990025
I bought Gravity's Rainbow last week and i've already read DQ, C&P, Moby Dick and IJ.

So please anons, do me a favour, don't make me buy Blood Meridian.

Vote GR, you know it's the right thing to do.

Love, anon.

I think out of sheer practicality we're gonna have to push the start date to early February at the earliest. Even if we can decide today which edition to read, some people are gonna have to order their copy online (I just assume people are willing to shill out for a physical book while I know a good chunk of us read on their computers or tablets/e-readers).

As for a reading schedule, we'll have to see once the voting is over but generally 30-40 pages a day is a good pace where we can get it done by the month while also allowing us time and room to discuss the passages.

This guy here.
>>8990094
This sounds good to me, i've still got 300 pages of Ulysses to go so i should be ready come February.

Vote GR, folks.
