Pure drivel. Self-help is a pseudoscience, and if common sense doesn't tell you this, then nothing will.

Or you could just start with the Greeks. Or the Chinese or the Indians. And then make up your own mind about it.

It's out there, help yourself.

This. Also change your writing style next time so you're not recognizable old boy but nonetheless, it's was a pleasure, Mark.

Where the hell is this meme from? I see it all the time, along with:

>There was only one enemy left; two if you counted god.

Holy...

I feel like the series is much better looked at all 5 books at a time than with the first. That said, Life, The Universe, and Everything was probably the climax of it

i can only read sober. can't imagine how anyone does it under the influence or intoxicated.

if i'm reading 4chan posts, yes.

it calms my anxiety and helps me focus after one glass of wine

Homer

>>8892918

>there are only two competitors: Shakespeare and Dante. So, /lit/, who would you say is the better?

pynchon, desu.

full disclaimer: i haven't read pynchon.

>>8892924
Dante did everything Homer did, and did it better

just finish the fucking book OP

I took breaks when conversations ended.

at least take the parts he did practice seriously, amerifat

To say one has to practice what one preaches is covering with a thin veil the ideology that these two things are separate. That there is something that you think first and then apply in practice or that it is about something you think that you must preach.

Nietzsche did not preach, nor did he just simply practice some ideas, like one would by following some guide book on life (even if self-made). He lived close to his philosophy and with the conflicts inherent of it. Perhaps it may seem strange to you to see that his body of work was much bigger than himself.

(Not to mention that some people just think he is telling people to be selfish and try to be great then how come he doesn't hit the gym or something, which is just stupid, I'm assuming you don't think this)

you can't force greatness senpai
otherwise you'll end up raped by ideology like raskolnikov

>>8892886
If you want to understand the history of the history of Nazi Germany then go ahead.

>>8892886
Nope

Its a pleb book that wasn't even written by a trained historian, just an extremely unprofessional journalist who literally disliked the Nazis because he thought they were gay

Historians hate it because its sloppy, and Redpilled morons hate it because it completely misinterprets their beloved Nazis

Read the Third Reich trilogy by Richard J. Evans instead

Do kids nowadays really learn cursive like on the bottom?
That's barely even cursive anymore.

>>8892750
Obviously because the details aren't important to the themes of the book

>John Wayne dies

really? where does it say that?

IJ had one of the most beautiful endings I've ever read.

The structure of the book instills a small feeling of disappointment.

You add the right people with the right taste and it becomes great.

autistic cataloging and rating, that's it

same reason i have RYM and Letterboxd accounts despite not interacting with the community (especially in the case of Letterboxd; it's mostly insane SJW types, with a much smaller but not-insignificant reactionary element comprised of dimwits that surely frequent /pol/; why aren't there many relatively well-adjusted people to talk to on the internet?)

>>8892734
I get recommendations from the 40 or so "friends" i have picked up on goodreads threads. also, i track my books.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy SHIT, OP, that was one of the greatest things I've read on the chans on a long time. Holy shit, what wit! What clever pastiche of the old stale memes! Oh my God, I need to catch my breath. Thank you, OP, I truly have not laughed that hard in a long time and I am definitely taking a screenshot of this beautiful thread to show to my mother and friends and everyone. Thank you.

btw im a girl

WTF were you even thinking posting this sub quality meme on one of my favorite anime forums? I'll have you know that by the time I was 11 I had already finished Naruto, Bleach, every Dragonball series, as well as countless other quality anime. I even had the best limited edition figurines that my parent's money could buy from REAL series such as Deathnote, and the TMNTurtles vintage 1987 edition of Raph. Don't even get me started on your "anime experience." Look I'm not trying to be overly rude or anything. I'll always encourage people trying to get into Anime, and I am usually quite the patient and understanding man, I honestly try to relate and befriend people such as yourself on most occasions for at least a month, or however long it takes for me to deem them worthy or unworthy of the sweet blessing that is anime, but this? This is unacceptable and downright OFFENSIVE to my culture and everything I stand for as a devout anime viewer and Manga reader (I'll return to this topic in a bit, don't worry.)
You think you know anime? You think you're a real fan? Never in my entire 16 years of living have I ever seen something more PATHETIC than THIS. Honestly with posts like this I can surmise that your character is nothing more that of my parents, or old friends who just couldn't accept me for who I am. I've known your type ever since the fourth grade when my heart was destroyed by the girl who was actually TOTALLY INTO ME, that was of course until I showed her my storage closet full of only the highest quality clippings of my ShōnenJump collection. You're just a shallow, shallow man, just like Haretchi-Chan of my own Independently produced Manga. Not that I expect you to have even the slightest clue what I'm talking about. This an advanced and highly evolved form of entertainment, and if you can not appreciate it as such then I have no interest in your "contributions" to this forum, "sir".
Now lets take a look at the animaiecal achievements of a true civilized Animation enjoying youth. I've recently completed my 429th anime, this probably doesn't seem like a significant number, however asking any intelligent viewer, such as myself would yield you the response that it is the total number of Naruto: Shippuden episodes, one of the greatest series to be released. Additionally, I own a limited edition beach towel of the 1st edition semi-holographic re-release of The Dark Magician Girl. I have also saved up enough of my allowance to purchase a full sized pillow displaying a custom image Shinobu Eishima-San (from bleach in case you weren't familiar.)
