No. She seems to be the idol of scum I hate.
It's on the same artistic level as the smiths and joy division

fuck it upsets me
I've just started to get into reading again and I'm afraid if I just jump into stuff like Ulysses, Gravity's Rainbow, Brave New World, etc I won't get the full effect of reading them.
What can I read that will build me up to be able to really appreciate books? I'm a freshman at uni and some things I just finished are Old Man and the Sea and pic related.
>>8611108
Philosophy, Bible, Greek drama, Shakespeare
>>8611108
Raymond Chandler should be up your alley if you liked The Maltese Falcon. Brave New World isn't nearly as difficult as Joyce or Pynchon, you can jump right into that, hell they teach it in high school.
I cant find this book. Please someone post a link so i can get it for my e-reader and fuck off. Pls i want to read.

It's on Soulseek.
Soulseek is really underrated for ebooks. Give it a try. Search for 'inherent vice epub'.
>>8611040
Not with that attitude!
Do you have a library card OP?
Has anyone here read Young Hitler by Claus Hant? Apparently it's one of the few books that examines his early life without ridiculous bias in either direction (i.e. not the stormfag direction of 'he was literally the messiah!' or the normie 'he wuz liderally hidler xD')
No, I'm not a nazi sympathiser, but I'm interested in why he became the way he did, and almost everything else I've read on the matter has been incomplete so far.
He literally was Hitler though.
Is it kinda like Young Indiana Jones?

Man I need to retread magic mountain thanks for reminding me oh-pee
Isn't it "people like I," not "people like me?"
No. Whom do like? Me.
>>8610915
Can't throw out a subject like that if you don't attach a verb to it
If you mean comparative as in "people who are like me" then you're right.
What's a good novel to read when you're going through the grief of a recent broke up?
Novellas preferred.
Pan by Knut Hamsun
>>8610910
Lenz by Buchner
Some of Kierkegaards stuff really helped me recently. He became most productive after he trolled his fiancée into breaking up with him. Try Either/Or and Repetition
What are some websites that provide quality articles and have good columnists? It can be about literature, philosophy, society, etc. -- it's fine as long as it is related to humanities/social sciences.
I only know news sites like CNN, The Guardian and so on. Where to go deeper?

the New Statesman archives
most of its modern output can safely be ignored
Yo, are the rest of you getting this at the bottom of your screen?

Nope, on a phone :)
No, I use adblock because I want 4chan to die

I'd go with Zarathustra, then BGaE.

What do you think about him? He's second only to Vermeer for me, honestly.

Do you think Dalii is some shitty artist, anon?
Didya read his book
What's a good Sherlock Holmes story to read? I've never read any of them. Hound of the Baskervilles? Are any of them like Encyclopedia Brown where I can solve it beforehand?
>>8610515
dude just get the collected short stories and start reading them
>>8610553
"dude" i don't want to read everything he's ever written, just looking for a good one.
which is your favorite?
>>8610515
I don't see why you wouldn't just start at the beginning and read through all the stories
The novels too, there's really nothing horribly complicated there
Hound of Baskerville is obviously one of if not the most famous Sherlock story, I imagine you might as well go and read that if you are gonna randomly jump through them instead of reading them chronologically like a sane person.
What are some of your favorite book covers?

I actually do like this cover.
ITT we state a current philosophical or life issue we are facing. Anons then recommend a book to help us overcome or reframe the issue.

Has anyone read this?
I just started reading this and I had a few questions. I'd like to avoid spoilers if possible.
Does Azoth/Kylar stop being a whiny bitch?
And is it just me or does the book kind of just jump ahead and without explaining some shit? For example during the coliseum tournament all of the sudden Logan knows who Kylar is and is super passed at him. Like how the fuck did he figure that out? Did I miss something?
Other than that it's a dope book

>the perfect killer has no friends only targets
>For example during the coliseum tournament all of the sudden Logan knows who Kylar is and is super passed at him. Like how the fuck did he figure that out?
Been a while since I read it but I think Kylar was wearing a mask right? Logan doesn't know about him being the asassin, he just sees a guy in a mask
