>the soul purpose

I genuinely can't tell if that's intentional.

Fuck you, this is important to lit

For example, this post really could have been one sentence.
>Why did he feel the need to make it into 4?

And there are a few semantics questions here.
>What does it mean that chakras don't exist?
>How can they not exist while also being something by a different name serving a different function entirely? (i.e. chakras actually being thought forms created for the "soul purpose of poking holes into your energy fields"?

I am not triggered by the content at all. I follow these kinds of people because I like to hear off the wall stuff every now and then. But the structure and meaning of this post are beyond my comprehension, so I came here.

I don't get it?

I dislike the form of literary appreciation that begins and ends with how well you identify with the characters and what your feels are.

On the other hand, she introduced a lot of people to some good books, it would be wrong to knock it too hard.

>>8754030
There are some good suggestions and some poor ones.

I wouldn't read most most of her choices, but at the end of the day it's just books she likes, nothing I feel strong about.

the illiad. this is part two to the illiad's part one.

>>8753935
But the Illiad itself is like part 30 of the Trojan War

Nice recovery, OP.

Check out Meditations by Marcus Aurelius and some shit by Alan Watts.

why do some species remain cute well into adulthood?

Power of matriarchy.

>>8753807
Yes, I'd second that, at least in terms of classic 19th-century novels.

>>8753807
Best English novel.

you sound like you just binged the latest south park

That should start to fade away once you take the huge dildo out of your ass and start reading real books.

I'm a doctor.

Try a non-degenerate like Thomas fucking Pynchon

>What does the crowd want?
To be told that they're done learning and they don't ever have to challenge themselves or subject their thoughts and opinions to scrutiny ever again because they're perfect little angels entitled to all good things regardless of how what they've done for it.

>>8753645
I meant more along the lines of "what do they want to read?"

I'm not sure even radical types read their own sermons. They just write them to blow off steam.

YA is where the money's at

Mother of fuck.

This pretty much made me want to gag, so cliche with some kind of "trapped in a video game" feel. Come on man, we can all be more creative than that.

Nigga stop describing everything, and if you have to, don't do it in past tense
>The sky was a bright blue, with scattered white, puffy clouds. The sun shined (??) brightly down on us, but (???) the temperature was a mild warm, and the cool breeze helped keep it comfortable
This vomit could be replaced with 'pastoral sight' or something similarly evocative. You don't need to tell people that sky is blue, clouds are white, and sun, apparently, capable of shining, stating the obvious adds nothing to it
