What are the other "thos"s?
The Pathos/Logos/Ethos trifecta was drilled into me throughout high school, and then they sprinkled "Mythos" in at the end as a bit of a teaser. The other day I read an essay that made use of "Bathos", which was awesome and clarifying. But it made me wonder, are there any others?
i.e. not necessarily ancient greek words, but words that explain large/untenable literary concepts while remaining etymologically similar.

>They had but one last remaining night together, so they embraced each other as tightly as that two-flavor entwined string cheese that is orange and yellowish-white, the orange probably being a bland Cheddar and the white . . . Mozzarella, although it could possibly be Provolone or just plain American, as it really doesn't taste distinctly dissimilar from the orange, yet they would have you believe it does by coloring it differently.

Women make up the vast majority of readers and authors in the world now. Almost every humanities major is dominated by women, almost every new author being published is female, and almost every book is targeted at a feminine audience.
The question you should be asking is this: why are men turning their backs on college and academia in general? What are the root social causes of this problem?

It's a recurrent theme in Kafka's works, since he always felt inadequate in his body.
His Metamorphosis and Letter to [his] Father are mostly about that.

Poetry isn't hard.
Just group a bunch of obscure words together and make it as pretentious as possible. The less it rhymes, the more high-brow it is.

I've finished Russo's Destroying Angel.
GOD, what a nice cyberpunk book! I love sci fi crime novel and if you want a Blade Runner setting, well, Destroying Angel is the book for you.
I'll read the second novel of the trilogy, Carlucci's Edge. The third book is Carlucci's Heart.
So, I've a question: do you know some good noir/hard boiled cyberpunk novel? I know only "Altered Carbon" and the Maird Audran saga.

Can you guys explain ideology to me? I thought I understood it, but the concept is rather elusive to me. What differentiates a healthy world view from an ideological one? How does one escape ideology? Whats the difference between values and ideology?

ideology is when you put on the glasses and you see the monsters on tv

Marxist version of 'spook.'
Just read "The German Ideology" by Marx and you'll get it.

It's similar, but not exactly the same thing. You could say Stirner's viewpoint was itself an ideology.

I wonder if there are actually any people on this thread who love books.
This place is so hostile. It makes reading a chore. Everyone is elitist and constantly out to try and one-up each other.
It's ridiculous.

Well, what is the point of posting this though? It's just the culture of this place and 4chan as a whole. It's a tired banal observation that everyone already knows and is most likely the reason people even come here in the first place.

What's everyone's favorite of his?
The Sailor Who Fell is definitely my favorite. I think it captures what he meant to convey in most of his novels the most concisely and (maybe) the most beautifully. That being said, Golden Pavilion is very good and Confessions of a Mask can be super funny and heartfelt at times.
Side note: is The Sea of Fertility worth reading?

The Roman patrician class? Greek, usually.

Patrician Romans spoke Ancient Greek to one another to outdo Latin-speaking plebs. So I'd go with the Greeks.

Latin sounds cooler
