That's a good translation.

Another good option is David Magarshack.

Hopefully we can indulge in a very thorough and intelligent conversation about Silence of the lambs by Thomas Harris. Viewing the psychological state of Hannibal Lector, and Buffalo Bill. I recently rewatched the movie and would love to hear some of the opinions on /lit/ about the characters' psychi and thoughts.

The movie is an all time classic, the book is hack thriller fodder, neither good nor bad, and is only exception in the authors character of Hannibal lector, who is compelling in both mediums.

Red dragon was a somewhat better book, his best desu, but Hannibal and Hannibal rising are drek Cash-ins.

If you liked it try reading the stranger beside me, helter skelter, Zodiac, Night stalker, and of course in cold blood, which is the best of the killer medium.

Red Dragon is a masterful psychological thriller. Don't think I've ever gotten in the mind of a villain that well before; you really sympathize.

Silence of the Lambs is not as good but worth a read; it's too dispersed to unravel a single character's mind.

Have books actually made an intellectual impact on you?

It feels like 90% of college kids who go on a mission to learn from classic literature begin a pompous nihilist and remain a pompous nihilist

I'm very interested in Heidegger. I've read about his philosophy in other books which mention it in a casual way, or to make a contrast between other modes of thought.

What are some essential works to read before reading Being and Time?

How familiar are you with german philosophy? I'd recommend being at least somewhat familiar with the ideas of Husserl, Hegel, Schelling, Kant, Nietzsche, and Aristotle, but it's not like you need to have read the entirety of each of their books to get a feel for Being and Time, as the latter is fairly self-enclosed as far as philosophy works go. Just get a feeling for the groundwork of phenomenological thought prior to Heidegger, Husserl in particular but also Kant and Hegel for an understanding of idealism and the idea of noumena that Heidegger was trying to jettison himself from
>>
The other important one you need is Descartes because the whole shit about 'dasein' is so Heidegger doesn't have to deal with problems re: Cartesian "subjects"
>>
>>8838806

this is a pretty good list.

seriously OP. just crack open being and time and see if you understand it. youre probably not going to. thats ok. keep reading the prerequisite material until it kind of makes sense.

I recently noticed that even the writers known as introverts such as Kafka, Proust, Faulkner etc. had lots of friends and social interaction and basically met new people all the time. After this realization it became more apparent to me why all my writings circle about my own character and memories which, regardless of style and construction, will just bore people. I'm reading Rilke at the moment and he advises aspiring poets to reach into their deepest inner feelings. But isolating myself emotionally just makes my writing a dizzying, mind-numbing exercise. I guess there's no passion without empathy. Basically, how does anyone make interesting friends? Where does real inspiration come from? Would be really interesting to know if anyone on here has made any experience with this kind of problem, /r9k/ virgins please don't apply.
