This changes everything. This discovery makes every modern Nael scholar practically useless. What are the implications of centering the "YES"?

moving the lines unexpectedly is a common way to get an ever so slightly longer pause between them, while further emphasizing the word.
Tell me good books with edgy content that revolves around life and how meaningless it is. Books that show you the banality of lifez sending you into a abysmal depression of a existencial crisis just for a time later, you returno knowing that utimately, all your actions will be for nought and the world will make another turn while you being a slave of society will do the same, with the ilusion you had achieve something, but in reality, you are just marching into the deep, deep darkness that is the void of nothingness.
So yeah, I am looking for edgy books like this.

I will, as long as you can verify these views to be true

consider this:
which works are the most popular (also in mainstream philosophy)?
easy to understand shit that makes pseuds feel good or smart but doesn't require high cognitive abilities.
why should that have been different with the greeks?
most of the works from that time are lost, isn't the chance high that only the easy to understand shit survived because it was copied the most?
consider Aristotle for example, he is what in the sense of Nietzsche I would call "feel-good philosophy" for the herd.
what if western philosophy and literature was based on the most basic stuff the greeks had to offer?
this is the problem with worshiping tradition in general. old does not equate good. bad stuff also lasts the test of time.

There's a reason why no one but edgy fascists and people who like stupid adventure novels like this guy, and why Anglo-American intellectualism has discarded him. Grow up you twats.
>>9941549
Meh, you can appreciate an author's ideas even while disagreeing with him overall. I understand why Zizek likes him.
>>9941549
What fascists like him? Gaiman loves him.
>>9941549
I like him and I'm a Trotskyist. Sometimes you can like people you disagree with.

Guys, I keep hearing how people are stupid to question religion or the "incredible transcendental nature of continental thinkers". If you dare to ask why you shouldn't believe in any other unfalsifiable system you get abused.
So what are the benefits of pretending, I mean, knowing Nietzsche's "profound truths" (that nobody can agree on) or about any other area of bullshit, I mean, deep thought?
Does it let you walk on water or do a physics degree in two days? Where are all the superhumans kept? Surely they choose to use their incredible powers outside the Critical Theory or Women's Studies department?! Their powers are being wasted!
Alright Jordan, you can go now.
How do I evolve out of Vonnegut/King/Palahniuk core?
I honestly enjoy the majority of their books a lot and don't know how to change it.

Don't change it. Just enjoy what you enjoy. There's no real reason to do otherwise. You can branch out and read different and "harder" things without giving up your enjoyment of those authors. Don't feel pressured by all he patrician/pleb memes here, just have fun with the hobby of reading.

A little too long for him, but I liked it.
>>9933353
Loved the writing at first, but once the meat and potatoes of plot swung into gear the details bored me. I do want to try again in the near future.
I think I would have liked it better without the "epilogue" though from what I've read it was originally conceived as a short story that comprised precisely that epilogue.

>The celebrated academic Harold Bloom is a lightning fast reader; blink and he's probably turned the page – twice. In his prime he could churn through 1,000 pages an hour, which means he could have digested Jane Eyre during his lunch break and still had time to chew through half of Ulysses before returning to classes
>1,000 pages an hour
Is the TRUE POWER of aestheticism?
I really have to doubt he was able to turn the pages that quickly with his chubby sausage fingers.
Oh shit, maybe he wasn't lying when he counted 'dozens' of the phrase 'stretched his legs' in the book Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone and has just become senile?
Maybe he has dementia and marked his envelope, went back to the page, saw 'stretched his legs', marked it again and so on.

"Stretched his legs" doesn't even appear once though.

Can we have a civil discussion on the female side of beat generation literature?
Personally I think that the big three, but also Bukowski, were actually pretty terrible people, but I think their biggest failure was their disregard for a female perspective, even when they had exceptional female writers as their own wifes.
Why did they choose to not give a fuck about anything but themselves?
>>9933255
because they weren't retarded?
>>9933255
The Beats were a meme movement that produced nothing but dogshit. Leave it to women to become pseud groupies
>>9933255
I think Burroughs shooting his wife and letting his son get raped by his degenerate faggot friends was much worse than not giving a shit about female perspectives.
Thinking of getting into this large beast. How was it? is it worth all the time investment?
>>9933222
No. You could read Homer, Virgil, Dante, Milton and the Bible as well as the whole commentary of Thomas Aquinas on the Gospels instead. Comparatively, what would you say is worth your time? A bunch of beautiful and timeless works or a contemporary 10 volume fantasy enjoyed by nerds only?
