I dream of writing the next Finnegans Wake, something so obscure that only a handful of people can understand it. I dream of writing something that makes millions of people become so confused and overwhelmed that they submit to me and call me a genius. I dream especially of having the girl I love read it and getting such a feeling of confusion and inadequacy from reading it that she immediately calls me and talks to me in a completely overwhelmed and intimidated manner betraying her submission to my absolute genius.

For myself.
For the art of it.
For I find them within me, keeping me company. Why not learn to play again?

Gives me something constructive to focus on.

It is a difficult but enjoyable labor.

I dream of things and long to preserve them somehow.

My inner life needs a sort of waste system, to release pressure or steam or what have you.
My only audience when I write is my future self, to have a portrait into my mind in the time that I wrote it.

Just smugglers bible. It was great. I put down the book I was reading and cracked open actress in the house. Hooked me within the first 3 pages. I'm a suckered for this kind of stuff.

What a Jew You can immediately tell she's a classic 70s New York Jew. 70s New York Jews are one of my favorite subgenres of Jewry

You couldn't have chosen a more flattering picture. It really captures the Jew in her, ya know?

is this any good? i want to read it but 400 pages of a man staying generally in his room sounds like it could drag on, or is it not just that?

It's good.

Goncharov spends a lot of time giving backstories to the people who visit Oblomov, it's not just a long description of him sitting down.

He does a fair bit in the second half of the book too
>>
>>8885933
He's more active than you think. I'm not finished yet, but it's not what I expected. Great book though.

Its quite good. I actually found the bits set in his room the best

Nothing, at least as far as I'm aware. Its more a criticism of common misinterpretations than an overall summary.

Nothing pisses me off more than plebs who think Nietzsche promoted amoralism and nihilism.
