Auster should really have gone for that philosophy degree.

It's one of the best books I've ever read, desu senpai.

I've heard that it's tough to make a living self-publishing but you can at least find a few readers, which is better than nothing. I'd say give it a try and see what happens.

I wouldn't say retarded, i mean, if somebody like him existed, it would take a lot of balls to not give a shit like he did.

Yes that's exactly right, Camoo sat down at the ol ticky-typer and said "you know, I think I'm gonna write a story about a retarded guy."

Anyone on this piece of shit website who will say Proust isn't good is a retard. People far smarter than them and far more well read than them know that Proust is a genius. Read him, OP.

Absolute genius. It's very long but hell it's rewarding. Go for it, it's a total must-read.

You know you can always just fucking read him and decide for yourself. I don't get why people here act like you're contractually obliged to finish a book once you open it

I find it hard to believe that Freddie Mercury ever said that

Sure anon, sure you're not. Mishima is good without being autistic . Read the entirety of Sea of Fertility, not just Runaway Horses. Futurists have... Interesting ideas. Maybe go look at Rexists. That being said, fascism is inherently anti intellectual and not really worth anyone's time apart from middle school edgewoods.

try an easier novel and work your way back into the passion of reading. what the hell is the point if you don't enjoy it? I didn't read for years until i read Catch-22 on a whim and it got me back into the process. I floated away from it again and now i'm in the same boat, but I'm getting back in with the good ol' russians.

Just realize, if you've taken a break, you have to work your way up again, it should be easy to get back into the swing of things but only if you work your way there instead of trying to jump straight into it.

What are you reading? Give me the last three books you've read or tried to read and name me some of your favorites.

Regardless here's a laundry list of taking the next step: Stop with the video games. Cut down on the internet. Go outside. Exercise. Meditate. Find friends and go out at least once a week. All of these go hand in hand, and the more you follow through, the more you'll enjoy reading, and subsequently enjoy the activities.

Regarding the video games... This was the hardest part for me, but once I started seriously getting into literature, they honestly stopped being fun. These days if I absolutely need to unwind and I try playing a game, thirty minutes in and I'll say to myself: i'd rather be reading. This is coming from someone who played video games since he was five, and in his last years of high school and early years of college was playing video games five hours a day and spending the majority of his days online, in a voice server.

There is a UN paper on 4chan and the influence of /pol/ on world politics.

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1610.03452v1.pdf

I feel like this isn't even reality when /pol/ actually is influencing the media and the UN had to do research on 4chan and /pol/.

Be wary of Dawkins, the guy's ideas are very niche and not representative of biology. His conception of a gene over the decades is also very different to the usual idea.

That said I did do a thing on stem cells recently, and like three of his ideas came up in a row.

>>8711141
>For me it's The Selfish Gene
That's not taking the 'red pill', because the concept of selfish genes is false.
Start reading more and more evolutionary biology such as I have done, and then you will be trully 'red pilled'.

If you really want to become 'red pilled' (shame the word has a negative association, it had potential) you do not stop reading after one book and call it a day.

You also need to see what other authors say, and only then one can conclude who's in the right.
