You have to give this book lot of attention. I mean to every single sentence. After Benjy's section things should start to make sense. There are few narrative shifts and crucial moments and everything revolves around them via character's memory, if you grasp them, then it's not that difficult. You can refer to this commentary after each section, it clarifies narrative pretty good - http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/~egjbp/faulkner/n-sf.html . And the disorientation is there for a reason. Faulkner was a master of that.

Thank you, I guess I'll start over and keep a pencil at the ready.

That's fairly easy to understand. He's saying "Culture makes a man civilized."

Post Hegel.

Ulysses is for people who are terrified of individuality, and only want to consume safe, sterile, socially-approved literature. Prove me wrong.

>>8639823
Well, not necessarily sterile, but it definitely shows that you need some outside authority to gatekeep what does or doesn't "count".

>>8639823
except, society as a whole doesn't read "the literary canon", so it's not socially approved. it's academically approved.

Hungarian guy is cool. Read all his books and still won't attempt to spell his name. There's only one relevant though anyway

idk why?

the 50 page speeches got to me. honestly she writes amazing stories and action with some morality (think ender's game or even dan brown whatever).

as much as i loved atlas shrugged, i wouldn't re-read it unless someone made an edit that brought the preaching down from an 11 to a reasonable 4. like how they made episode 1 good with the phantom edit.

It's hilarious

I bought it as well but you can get the gist of it by skimming the Wikipedia article. I am a fully paid up Stirnerite but it is such a fucking boring book. I didn't get past page 100

>>8639689
Make sure to read Marx's critiques later!

>>8639703
How is it boring? Its actually considerably less boring than most philosophy books. Trying reading Hegel before reading Stirner. You'll welcome Stirner and death.

Anything by John Green

Demons is more political and deals with nihilism and the people who supported it. Based on true events.

The idiot is more of a character study with myshkin being a Christ-like figure in 19th century Russia.

Personally I liked demons better.

>>8639588

i liked the idiot more, mostly because when i read demons i wasnt too familiar with the historical context in which demons was written.

depending on your background of russia during the time of dostoevsky, i would make this choice accordingly. if you are less concerned with historical context and wish to read a more standalone story, go idiot.

that being said, i think i owe demons a rereading here soon.

Demons is so much better. Better read Turgenev's Father and Sons first, though.

English is dogshit. Enjoy your life.

Are you in high school? Not only did you miss a fat chunk of Chapter 7 but you also missed a fairly important chunk of dialogue. Most of what you wrote looks somewhat accurate but I get the feeling you're missing the bigger picture here.

>>8639687
I only read the beginning of the chapter.

When he shoots the cat and it just disappears had me laughing maniacally, mostly because I'd been reading it for 2 hours at that point and needed some way to relieve the heart sinking nausea of the soul..

>>8639546
Yes, Summa Theologie. I only just started it after a long preparation. It's amazing.

If you're mental enough to read that shit then you might as well read some Savitri Devi and become a fascist as well as an idiot.

Many of the so-called esoteric authors/schools are all just frauds or cheap rip-offs of stuff that came before. In most cases it's better to study religious texts and commentary on them because it's often the esoteric parts of religious teachings/texts that are later just repackaged and sold as an esoteric cult thing.

Frithjof Schuon is one author that is pretty good as is Rene Guenon. Guenon's book "Introduction to the Study of Hindu Doctines" is pretty good and serves as an overall intro to both his work and Hinduism/eastern philosophy. They are both worth reading although Guenon seems to delve more into the esoteric teachings of various traditions so if you want esoteric stuff/metaphysics you should definitely check him out.

Gurdjieff is one of those people where he acted sort of like a cult leader but at the same time he had some really interesting teachings that some people find to be very profound so he is worth reading but take it all with a grain of salt. "Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson" by Gurdjieff is good although if you read it then it's important to read the 1950 edition or whatever ones are closest to the original text as possible because it was revised later in a more recent print and they butchered it. "In Search of the Miraculous" by Ouspensky is also good and is related to Gurdjieff and can be read before or after BTTHG.

Evola is also worth reading but can be sort of an edge-lord and he can make you want to roll your eyes sometimes. If you read him it's better to stick to his more metaphysical/religious stuff, his book on Buddhism is pretty good.

"Mount Analogue" by Daumal is also good.

OP avoid Devi she is just a retarded larper basically.
