Used to say this all the time when I was a 10-year-old little shit. I hate me so much.

That's Brazil. Specially since we're right next to Argentina.

Might want to hold that praise because I live in Melbourne and it's as cucked as any "multicultural" European city.

>>8738757
Sorry mate but you swapped good weather for culture. We'll leave the surfing to you and you leave lit to us.

An Introduction to Nihilism
Absurdism: an Introduction

>>8738738
thanks

>>8738733
Lol, but seriously though, is a university the only place where I'll find books like this? Searching "nihilism" and "absurdism" in amazon only gives me meme results and retarded 2edgy4u pseudo bullshit that was written for art students and hipsters.

>>8738731
Beyond Good and Evil and The Antichrist.

>taking the 'easy' route

Not going to make it.

>tfw you study late 19th century german philosophy of science and want to bite OP

>>8738626
Your welcome.

>>8738618
I would hope so. I love Silverblatt, such a good reader. This interview is so damn good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLcwIu2m5F8

>>8738697
Agreed. His interviews are phenomenal. He has some good ones with Anne Carson, David Wallace, and William Vollmann. He's got some interviews with Delillo which are good as well though I have a hard time listening to Delillo.

Silverblatt's interviews are so informative without being overly stuffy and academic. I'll watch this interview later, anon. I'm heading to a poetry reading in a bit.

Storm of Steel by Juenger is possibly the greatest war time account I've ever read.

been meaning to read this, but i read on here that there's certain editions that cut a lot of stuff out. does anyone know what the best edition to get is. I'm leaning towards the penguins classic one because the cover design nice (pic related), so how much does edition actually matter?

>>8738676
This is my copy, as far as I can tell there's nothing cut. Highly recommend it.

seconded.

>>8738570
Perhaps the meaning was lost in translation?

>>8738570
We know who the dense one was here. Ha! Derrida is fucking legend, buddy. Is he hard to read? Of course--he's undermining language!

>>8738541
Yeah, it was a word before retards on 4chan started obsessing over it

>>8738545
I distinctly remember reading Othello my sophomore year of high school (2006) and the phrase "put the horns on" has stuck with me ever since. In the same play I learned about crocodile tears. Shakespeare is the GOAT.

>>8738747
Read Marlowe or an Jacobean playwright and cuckolding( and puns on horns) is there in abundance

>>8738532
LOOOOOOOL YOU JUST FUCKING SAID 'KEK' ON 4CHAN????

HAHAHAHAHA

>>8738534
his wife literally cucks him several times with several men throughout the book, i wasn't trying to make a joke family

>>8738537
So either you're too dumb to know what you've just read was about, or you're making an epic cuck post on /lit/

It's the former then?

>>8738343
Yeah it's almost as if it were written in another language or something

>>8738343

>reading verse translations

>>8738356
That is irrelevant. Tons of martial and folk music from lots of cultures, including a lot of country & western music from America, is based on the dactylic hexameter- LONG short-short. It's the galloping rhythm of a horse at a steady trot.

That or books similar to this movie? If you haven't seen Short Term 12, it's on Netflix and it's incredible.

>>8738337
Thanks for your contribution

>>8738337
You seem stupid.

After you blow your mental load all over some good books, It's fun to go on here and act retarded and make fun of people.

>>8738309
The shitposting certainly is a waste of time, but it enjoys me.
However I also use this to propagate my ideas or other's ideas that came from books or the books themselves.

I also take breaks from reading, not always in the mood for it.

>>8738309
Discussing how to interpret books is breddy gud.
