HOW DOES IT FEEL
This is some bullshit
CRAZY NIGGER
If any Singer/Songwriter/POET/AUTHOR deserves a Nobel Prize for their work, it should be Leonard Cohen

There is literally zero chance they would award it to two Canadians in two years.

ITT: Nobel's losers

his death made the numbers on youtube vids of his songs jump than they started getting DMCAs.
Gonna happend to Nobel Prize winner now too.
Kinda funny how he was influenced by Dylan early on, but later started to despise him.

What? Jealousy?
>For his outstanding use of language and beautifully crafted description of worlds, people and humanity, Tao Lin wins the 2016 Nobel Price for literature
Post yfw this happens
>>8613377
2076 is more like it.
meming aside, is anything this cunt or his buddies have written any good/worthwhile?
When I first visited /lit/ he had just as many threads as Stirner and DFW.
What happened?
Books that emphasize life and experiencing things rather than thought? Not only beautiful, spiritual experiences, but simply appreciation of mundane life. I heard pic related fits the description.

You better ask /a/. I am dead serious.
>>8613351
Yea but I've already watched Yuasa's works.
Walden could be considered in that light.
>Starting with the Greeks
>Not starting with this based Frenchman
Has there been a more entry level tier philosopher than him?
>"Give her the D" - Descartes
I imagine you have to immediately go back to the Greeks after reading if you want to understand later developments. It's probably just easier to start with the Greeks.
NO JOKE

He seriously isn't that difficult to understand if you wouldn't have been to lazy to get a modicum of understanding of the most basic marxist and psychoanalytic concepts. Apply yourself.
Why do normie retards cite this as an argument against suicide when it's so fucking dumb?
>DUDE JUST IMAGINE SISYPHUS IS HAPPY DESPITE HIS HELLISH EXISTENCE AND HIM AGONIZING TO DIE EVERY MINUTE OF HIS LIFE
No. Sisyphus is not fucking happy.
What Camus wants you to do is live your life based on a lie. To pretend that someone like Sisyphus is happy when he is clearly not. It is living life in a bad faith.
After reading it, I am convinced that suicide is even a more logical decision than before.
>>8612937
Thinking about killing myself, should I read this?
>>8612937
Yet you chose to shitpost instead of kysing you are self, so you probably imagine suicide is not so logical for whatever reason.
>>8612940
Read Nausea instead. The end is still BS but the the rest is better than anything Chadus could've sharted out.
How fast do you read?

Is it acceptable for writers to incorporate aspects of cultures outside of their own into their writing? Where is the dividing line between a respectful use of other cultures and cultural appropriation?
>>8611629
The only real "line" is not pretending to be someone you're not. Other than that anything goes and fuck anyone who says otherwise.
Using Roman letters alone is cultural apporpriation. Go write in runes or some shit you filthy anglo.
>>8611629
Culture is a social construct

If you're not a neet, how do you get time for reading books? What activities do you sacrifize instead of reading?
Stirnerist NEETism is the only literary life in the postmodern era.
