Not that I wouldn't like the money and attention of course, but I find when I think about others reading my work it makes my writing worse. It makes it shy and vague. Is this a common thing?
Well, if I do get published I'm using a pen name.

Am I the only one who thought that Submission was too shallow? In the sense that it posed no real deep and proper challanges for the main character to adopt islam and the new islamic culture.
It makes me htink that that was the point, a sort of joke about contemporary western culture?

What is wrong about contemporary western culture??
>>
Yes one of the points was that what's left of western culture is so shit that even some old barbaric religion for low iq sandniggers is better.
Just make people respect a few rules, let them skip those they don't like, go back to a primitive state of society and things will improve.
It's basically make the women do house work instead of spending billions on their education and let the men do the useful jobs, since the workforce is reduced by half every one will have something more meaningfull to do.

That IS the point.

What contemporary novel has made you rethink society and your view on life? Something that really upended the way you think of matters. I mean that for example, reading dostoievsky is interesting, but while some of his insights are eternally human and interesting many aspects of his theology and philosophy are outdated and irrelevant as we are living in a different time, in a different society and around different technologies.
What contemporary book have you read that really blew your mind?

Can someone help? I'm doing personal endings for conjugations right now in latin.
I don't understand when you stress a vowel and when you don't.
It just switches off between stressed unstressed when the active personal endings are added without explanation.

stresses are a waste of time in latin and attic greek (prove me wrong)
sure you sometimes need to stress to know the case of a noun but desu you'll figure that out with context.

7 Habits was pretty good, but very repetitive and beats a dead horse with examples.
I want to read Carnegie. I also read leadership books occasionally for work.

I always thought 7 Pillars of Wisdom was a self help book based off the title alone.

Overrated. Like Japanese films, it LOOKS like a novel but there's really no content. It's pure imitation of American or European models without anything inside, like a replicant out of Philip K Dick.

The Silmarillion.
It's like The Bible but with better prose and a deeper mythology.

I honestly never read anything he ever wrote, but he's pretty much Stirner at this point. Every person that has an opinion gets called out as "PURE IDEALOGY" instead of "SPOOKS"

The girl, i have a crush on, gave me this book.
What am i in for?
She is really shy and always talks about how she loves horses. I only know, that nietzsche once saved a horse from its owners punishment.
What does it all mean?

Anon, this is not a joke, this is not haha funny ebin 4chan memes, this is serious serious serious shit. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT (and once more for emphasis, DOOOO NOOOOOT!!!) have ANYTHIG to do with horse girls. There are so many reasons for STEERING CLEAR that I LITERALLY don't have enough time on this planet to explain them all. But please please just trust me that horse girls are to be AVOIDED AT ALL COST

She's obviously trying to sabotage your intellect because you would grossly misinterpret the text without proper prerequisite understanding.
>>
>>8595359
although I dont have personal experience, but the "horse girls are crazy" meme is a legit thing.
Just don't fuckin do it. read the book. thank her. get on with your life.
