Isn't there some way to automatically filter these threads?

>digits wasted on insecure ramblings

why should be? would you prefer me to say "what is a good book about a solitary travel discovering the remnants of an ancient civilization, who gives insight about himself to the main character and fullfills him as an enlightment path"?

if i can explain more clearly with a game reference, why not?

Camus was a novelist so it's unfair to compare his philosophy with that of an actual philosopher

Luckily for him, Sartre is not an actual philosopher. He's a googly eyed hack fraud who couldn't read Heidegger to save his life.

So Camus wins

Camus easily.
disclaimer: I have only read Camus

Camus because he's nice to the dog

Same, op
Bump

Everyone says it's just common teenage angst, but really, I haven't found anything like it yet.

Franny and Zooey is fairly similar

t. illiterate redneck alt-right STEM-cuck

You really showed us <(;^o^)>

I see the STAAR test is just as dogshit as the TAKS test.

The article is actually talking about how badly concieved the questions were and how stupid it is to use a multiple choice test to prove reading and language skills.
IDK how you jumped to the assumpions that all philology is unfalsifiable bullshit.

Also, related to you assumpions (but not to the article)

I own a copy of that book, but I'm too lazy to read it.

sorry i can't help

>>8946305
No.
Source: I've read it

>>8946305
No. The book isn't about laziness.

Also I recommend the Marian Schwartz translation

yes but that shouldn't stop you from writing one

>>8946271
Well can you tell me what it is I've already started writing it

>>8946251
There has been some but we could do with more.

Would like to hear recommendations from anyone who's read stuff along these lines.

What's even the point of this homework? Western education at its finest right here folks. Can't wait for Putin to be new world power instead of stupid US

4. Portrait of Dorian Gray
5. 1984
7. To Kill a Mockingbird
9. A Christmas Carol
10. Midnight on the Orient Express

This shit is fucking retarded, all the descriptions are so vague.

The manga in his hand should explain why he's so fat.

I imagined him a big boy too. The whole rape scene at the end (when he turns the "boy" into the "man") I imagined him lifting up his fat belly so he could properly insert himself.

Wow, gotta admire the effort you put into making this thread, now kindly fuck off.

i dont want to read DMT induced trash

i have alredy read one copy, but every night i soak my mind in a few of the texts before bed, its just sublime, have you read any of the other hindu scriptures or key religious litrature?

Make a better thread

If you have to ask, the answer is maybe.

Pretty overrated desu. Lacks discernible theme, compelling plot, interesting characters. I don't know what's up with Thomas Mann. Tonio Kroger is probably my favorite short story ever, or at least the one that has had the most influence on my life, yet I can't get into any of his other stuff, including Death In Venice. Where did it all go so wrong?

No, give up

Don't write, we got enough writers in the world who write stupid shit. Only write if you think you are in the 0.0001% of the greatest writers ever lived on earth

To talk about Spinoza, oc
His meaning of monism, rationalism and determinism (althought it's still not clear about him) are on point, he didn't even need all the enlightement from science to get it right, he just used basic mathematics to create a book that holds nothing but truth.
