he's JJRM Martin,
creator of worlds,
destroyer of characters.

He's never gonna finish his book

>>9926565
he's a hack fraud. The book will be released in two years on his 70th birthday and the end of season 8. It will be a slightly longer and more detailed season 5-7 with the same general plot outline. The latter half of season 7-8 won't even be there because they are the Dream of Spring which will never get released because he will die

>thinking but then I get depressed because my life sucks
Do drugs, not enough to impair you. Become a functional addict. Is dependancy better than being depressed every day? I think it is

I thought about that once and planned to do it, I got really quite drunk and smoked a lot of marijuana on christmas eve and was sick and didn't wake up until like 11am and my family were disappointed and angry at me

I currently have no friends (and no real interest in having any desu, maybe a qt tho u know ;)) and live in the countryside in the home of my parents, I do have a fair amount of dispossible income but how would I into drugs? I don't want to deal with drug dealers because they're scary, there is the one guy who I'm pretty sure is a drug dealer (I might just be thinking that because of racism tho) who comes into my work from time to time but hes seems a bit insane

thanks :D

>>9933713

I'm a redpilled, frogposting, anime-watching, video game-playing, prospectless, unattractive, and bitter guy. This sounds like just my thing, revenge porn typish

>>9926545
I think you're very attractive anon, you just don't know you're beautiful nigga

>>9926545
You're downright beautiful

>>9926495
and yet none of them do

>>9926512
Your wrong, sweety :)

>>9926495
People get fucking degrees for understanding this book.

>>9926441
I started with Notes from the Underground and went to Brothers K.
Maybe you should try Notes, idk.

>>9926447
Yeah I probably should've started with notes from the underground/dead since Brothers has been a pretty big bite to start with but I don't wanna quit at this point and I am enjoying it. I just wasn't sure if any of his other books had similar or opposing themes to Brothers.

>>9926441

Among his other novels, you will want to read C&P first, then Demons, then The Idiot. (The Adolescent is not worth while.)

Notes from Underground gets too much attention, especially in this cesspool of manchildren. The Gambler and Notes from the House of the Dead have more to say, especially about the author. The Double is also significant

Don't overlook his short stories, especially "The Dream of a Ridiculous Man". Also "The Heavenly Christmas Tree", "A Christmas Tree and a Wedding", and "A Gentle Spirit'.

>made you audibly laugh out loud

>made you completely change your worldiew

I just read Mishima's Patriotism and it almost made me pass out. The imagery was more disturbing than any film I've seen. Maybe I'm just being a bitch.

>>made you fap
Unironically Lolita
>>made you completely change your worldiew
Notes from the undergound because it was my first real lit and sparked the reactionary in me

got bored after lucy died. dropped.

It gets good again once they start looking for Dracula

>>9926370
In all honesty, if you want good 19th century horror-fiction you're better off with Shelley´s Frankenstein. It explores so many themes like revenge, man vs. the nature of man, man playing god, nature vs. nurture etc. But most of all and what's growing increasingly more relevent is that it is, to my knowledge, the first instance of the the exploration of the dangers of artificial intelligence. Sorry, I always have to shill Frankenstein.

Just go for right wing stuff, you can't go wrong

Culture of Critique by Kevin MacDonald is always a good choice.

Read the Gulag Archipelago if you're interested in Communism.

>>9926263
All the parts of the Bible where Jesus talks about what kinds of people go to hell and what happens to them there will apply to every anabaptist that has ever lived.

Q by Luther Blisset and The Movement of the Free Spirit by Raoul Vaniegem.

>>9926263
"The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit" by E Michael Jones has at least a chapter on the Anabaptists as a revolutionary movement.

>>9933386
Infinite Jest

>>9933386
All of them.

Please, tell us more about how this book affected you.

>>9926201
Several books have made me cry.

>>9926211
Made me realize that everything I've been told was a lie and that the redpill was true all along. I always thought /pol/ were a bunch of retarded Nazis, but fact is they're very redpilled to the truth.
>>9926232
