Because they do not believe in the divinity of Christ, which is the subject celebrated on Easter.

Jonathan Haidt and Jordan B Peterson

Your best bet are youtubers, no joke. If you're an insecure teenage girl go to Zoella, if you're a beta whiteboi go to Stefan Moleneyeux. Either way you're just looking for an absent parent or older sibling.

Audiobooks are trash that should only be used after actually reading a text to get a better understanding of it. Reading is an exercise, if you're using audiobooks it's the equivalent of eating fried chicken while walking on a treadmill.

>started the trend of contemporary writers fetishing Southern poverty
Southern Gothic had nowhere worthwhile to go post-Faulkner, with the exception of Flannery O'Connor.

Which one?

There's like eleventy Bibles.

I read Kavalier and Clay a while back and didn't understand the hype surrounding it. Maybe it's because the author's Jewish and what he wrote was essentially the Oscar bait of literature - it had New York Jews as main characters, WWII oppression, beautiful homosexual love trampled by unenlightened bigots, etc. This could have been tolerable if Chabon's language was anything special but it was rarely elevated beyond a pedestrian level.

I've read everything by him. Moonglow is probably my favorite. Read Gravity's Rainbow first though. Is it on that level of difficulty? Not at all. Just lots of references and shit. You could get through without reading GR, but I don't think it would be as rewarding, not that you would know the difference anyway.

Yiddish Policeman's Union was good and the premise is hilarious

12 is when you idolize Plato.
13 is when you notice Aristotle makes more sense.

Adulthood is when you understand Hegel.

My favourite childhood book was Finnegans Wake but I only got into philosophy at 7.

The author's a cuck. He's essentially a self-help writer for stunted adults. He's a knock-off John Green, a poor man's Mark Haddon.
