Hi.

Seducers Diary wasn't very good and I love Kierks.

I think Fear and Trembling is one of the most relavent books of our time. I have no idea why Islamic terrorists don't use the story of Abraham, probably because they're idiots, but it would be nice to see an intellectual side develop.

>>8607271
I second this. FaT is amazing

Muslims teleologically suspend the ethical all the time. Its called Taquiya and its very messed up

>>8607139
Is there a problem with that?

no, men have been oppressed throughout all of history. they are the philosophers coz they are the only ones able to break out of the meme due to their oppression. instead of catering to womens every need and want like wagecuck slaves.

Obviously yes. Now delete your thread before you summon more robots

women have it far better than men.

Note: this guy and Thomas Ligotti are pretty much the best Lovecraftian Horror writers still kicking

/lit/ why aren't you sucking Campbell's dick right now?

>>8627937
Campbell posts on reddit in an inconspicuous manner under his own name. This is noteworthy in itself. Also that youtube video of him at a roundtable discussion with Clive Barker, with Ramsey doing little discussing but a lot of eating. He appears to be a humble and likeable man - as for his fiction, he is always on my to-read pile.

All aspects of modern capitalist society is mediated by images and we constitute our idealized self-image within that spectacle.

From being into having into appearing

Some notes on the text, which are straightforward by just browsing the OP link:

The text is divided into nine chapters, each chapter being prefaced by a related quote. It is further subdivided into 221 sections (not counting the chapter-opening quotes), or as I like to say "pronouncements", which range from a sentence to a very long paragraph or two.

This choice of numbered paragraph-by-paragraph organization of a short, serious text is very much in the European philosophical tradition of shorter texts. Locke's second treatise of government, Kant's prolegomena, Luther's 95 theses, all operate in the same way.

The pronouncements are divided among the chapters like so:

I 1-34
II 35-53
III 54-72
IV 73-124
V 125-146
VI 147-164
VII 165-179
VIII 180-211
IX 212-221

Thus I propose for discussion to copypasta precisely the above 18 pronouncements which delimit each chapter's end points, although of course they are readily accessible in the OP link. Posting them here and encouraging a direct discussion of them ought to be a good starting point for discussion of the text, I think, although this fairly presupposes that a browser has actually read the text.

caught chlamydia from one of two girls

1) quite hot Indian girl who was cheating on her husband and hooking up with me to get raped
2) below average country girl i had to hook up with cus i took the bus to her village and there were no buses

i've on about 3-4 occasions hooked up with a semi-cute asian crossdresser to suck his cock, but that was after the chlamydia. anyway that's pretty gay isn't it? i just really like being submissive sometimes and girls are bad at it.

one my biggest regrets is not going further in anal play (on me) with a cute mulatto french girl. one of her biggest fantasies was using a strap-on but i was, and am, poor and it seemed to cost so much. she was a student so she also didn't way throw out the cash. shame.

Two stars means 'I liked it'.

>>8627013
Goodreads screencap on /lit/ means "I didn't write it".

>>8627019
I know.

Two stars actually mean 'it was okay', three is 'liked it', four is 'really liked it' and five is 'it was amazing'.

Only the one star option is a cowardly 'did not like it'.

Four degrees of praise and only one of disapproval. Truly plebeian and inoffensive, normalism to the core.

How can there be objective issues if they are issues? They depend on someone to have an issue with a long book, stop being retarded

Depends on whether the length is actual plot or just unnecessary padding with purple prose. Read any book from the Spanish "Boom" and you'll see what I mean. Fuck this movement.

>>8626819
I'm saying, is a book being too long an issue in and of itself?

I will undergo dissolution into the draconic principle soon through self-immolation, for a dragon is born in fire and a dragon dies in fire. You don't get the actual story behind this because fuck you. The end.
