You just need to read more history and philosophy.

You don't even need to make another LotRs. Whatever it is stewing in the back of your head, put it on the back burner and read up on the real world and old world it once was.

Here's an easy primer in philosophy

Thank you, anon. Although, I have to admit that I wanted to avoid reading the whole history of philosophy. I expected you to share philosophies that you found interesting when reading. Nevertheless, I'll give that website a try.

A rascist elitist pure blood nazi nietzschean genocidal cult. Maybe make them gnostic and the holders of the true blood in a world they see as evil. Then they see themselves as those carrying the holy grail of divine blood while cleaning up the other humans who are the descendents of evil gods. All other people would view it as a genocidal cult. This could be a pretty liberal book if you liked.

Make them a luciferian gnostic pure blood genocidal totalitarian tribal cult. That is fantastic and has relation to reality.

White Noise.

>I read for pleasure

the true mark of a pleb

I also read more or less 70 pages, some years ago, and understood that it is supposed to be a depressing book. As I was already a bit so, I risked not aggravate my state. That is, was afraid of reading it, still am, maybe

no, boredom is an attempt to regulate too much creativity.

>>8780218
and isn't creativity just an attempt to allay boredom?

Life is a pendulum that sings between pain and boredom.

What's so entitled about wanting variety in my studies?

I went to study literature, I wanted to study all literature, not just predominantly books about the boring lives and underwhelming problems of upper middle class white women from 1820-1930

Yes, one of the great Russian classics.

Funny too.

I bet it's a meme t b h.

He literally doesn't get up from his bed for half of the book.
The book has around 600 pages.
It's great actually.

>>8780055
this is what happens when you don't start with the Greeks

>>8780055
The latter requires you to think a certain way, thus making you a slave to a belief and idea.

>>8780055
Imagining a thing is not the same as believing in it.

He is worth reading, yes. Start with the Raven and if you like that you'll like his other stuff.

>>8780002
Whatever, I find it great.

>>8779868
Because Americans are brainlets unable to withstand the genius of Musil

>>8779868
Germans do the same shit with Poe.

>>8779868

Because people tend not to care about an unfinished novel that's already 3000 pages long, no matter how many critics suck its cock.

Tried Savitri Devi?
