Do you put wicker seats or a swing on your stoa?

Read books and criticism, you dense helpless faggot

>programming

How dull

Programming is the most noble of all modern human activities, for it combines the precision of STEM and creative sprawl of humanities. Go for it, and study literature for pleasure

>>8776330
Programming is fine, it is both entertaining and technical. Just make sure you get some UX Design and Development experience so you can become more than a code monkey.

Tons of people get programming jobs without a degree and tons of people write without a degree. If you're worried about learning both, just pursue a degree in the field you're least likely to learn on your own.

>actually thinking literary agencies will give half a crap about your work
Self-publishing is the only viable option.

I was once like you. I got a journalism degree and spent a few years as a subeditor.

Spoiler: don't do journalism, it's a waste of fucking time. The industry is fucked beyond repair.

hes aight.

i guess it is alright when you have tried all things of value and want to see what those who have no value do.

you can learn why right things are right by seeing wrong ones.

ovetly political books are weird for me, so imma have to give them a pass. especially Ayn

Read 1984 if you're a libfag, read Atlas Shrugged if you're a /pol/fag, read Catch-22 if you're a well adjusted individual.

>>8775647
THanks

I think Ill go with 1984 and catch22 very likely but my main worry is about the Atlas one

I read a summary of it and what kind of a book it should be, and Im really not sure as Im not that into politics either.

Can you recommend a third book to go with the two, one that would be a nice comfy classic that would fall to the category of "read if youre a well adjusted individual" as well.

Since I made this thread, Ill ask away

Are all of hemingways books similar in writing style? There were things in for whom the bell tolls, that I disliked and wonder if most of his books are quite similar in writing style, I felt like they were a bit too slow for anything to happen or something like that.

HE thinks he's funny and a biting satirist, emphasis on the he. He also reeks of communism and socialism. Early works are his best.

>>8775587
we used to love him

He's the thinking man's Douglas Adams.

21st century is nostalgia

Digitalism and finding a new basis to build our philosophy on.

Considering that pomo swagboys like Derrida and Baudrillard completely destroyed philosophy I suggest we start with the latter.
