Under this criteria, Fyodor Dostoevsky would be shit.

>>8960722
He is an author for undergraduates to namedrop, that's about it.

All you need is Schopenhauer's 'On Women' and Mein Kampf

Redpill > cuck philosophy

I was hoping to start with less specific issues first, like basic epistemology, or philosophy about language, and ethics and existentialism.

>I want to fill my head with circle jerk pseud nonsense
Waste of time, it's boring and you won't impress that pseud girl that sits a row behind you.

Make someone capable of solving problems, reading people, or making solid plans in a lot lees time than an average person could.

Research how to fake the appearance of deep intelligence by cobbling together half-remembered scraps of wiki articles on things you assume smart people like

>oh wait, you're on /lit/, you're already doing that

You don't, obviously.

Chuck's Dinosaur Tinglers.

Are you you looking for sexual excitement or enjoyment?

ITT: Women needing literature to play with their vaginas.

Huh, I just bought this on a whim yesterday because I remember it being one of my grandad's favourite books.

>get two pages in
>already no idea what the fuck is going on

He says the abridged version is enough to be getting on with if you don't want sources with notes on everything as you go along, if that's any help.

Unless you are a researcher, the abridged version will suffice. If you still want more after you finish, you can always go to the index of the complete version and look for the parts that interst you more or for the ones that you didn't read and think you will find interesting.

The Story of Mankind by Hendrik van Loon

Please halp

>>8960611
Jung doesn't exists outside US universitaria. Just like Derrida

>>8960611
Attempted to make Freud's discoveries safe and appealing to the religious public, Nazi's, Americans; covered over the radicality of Freud; supplemented Freud with imaginary totemism

Third-wave Jungianism with its emphasis on Hegel and dialectics seems compatible with Lacan. I would like to integrate the two.

Tell me what you felt reading it.
The descriptions I found didn't look very fitting with what I was looking for, especially for the location.


>>8960621
I can't find any description of it.

I read many books at once. I hate it because I end up reading the same few books for a long time, but I can't help it.

Right now I'm reading 5 books. 1 poetry, 1 fiction, 1 political, 1 philosophical and 1 ancient text...Plus I always have my bibles out on my desk. When I read the bible I can't help but compare passages/translation/annotations etc.

Too scatterbrained. But like I said it gets frustrating and I end up in a slump sometimes where I don't want to read at all.

You can't be cynical with flowery language, it just makes you look like a twat. I can tell you write more than you read.

>>8960822
Thanks, go kill yourself. No really, have a nice day, you earned it.

anyone who dismisses karl marx is
1. an asshole
2. a conservative
3. just plain stupid

how does one make a neighbourhood unattractive to cat piss, and does it involve actually reading marx?

>>8960432
Is this from that normie "muh 1984 is real and happening now" bait game called Orwell?

Black wallpaper since I always have something on fullscreen or several windows at the same time so there is no point to see a wallpaper for 10seconds when I turn on my PC.

wow and I thought all the cavemen were gone

IIRC the crimes section covers like 10 yrs or something. Obviously the Amalfitano parts and Fate and Critics all occur around the same time. The part about Archimboldi covers nearly 60 years.

>>8960317

Yeah, The Part about the Critics and Amalfiltano parts were the only ones I'm really clear about so far since they are linked so closely together they may as well take place in the same time frame.

What should I read next by Bolano? I was thinking of The Savage Detectives.

When I read 2666 I guess I never thought about the time but just kinda picked up on it from context. I'm pretty sure somewhere in there Bolaño says the murders were over a 10 year span. The rest seemed to follow fine just with reading.

Homosexuals are the master race. Nearly every single great figure in history dabbled with homosexuality. I wonder why /pol/ doesn't acknowledge this.

pretty much true for /lit/. get over it, straight man, you get to write airport fiction or YA at best.

This :) Just stop repressing your desires, /pol/acks
