Alchemy is complex
Sychronicity is your friend

Usage of the word "quantum" outside of a physics discussion indicates a retard. Or, rarely, a conman.

If someone can name a good piece of Australian literature you're a legend.

/lit/ likes penguin books desu

Their paperbacks are alright. I like the black spine design. So they absorbed Random House right? Is everything published under the Penguin name now or is Random House still a functioning entity?

People get lonely. If you're immune to loneliness, you're either less than human or better than human.

it means society is collective insanity. That something never seen has the same properties as god or will be branded too base to enjoy polite lies.

mm, hard to tell, Crime and Punishment is more straightforward and hits the mark like an arrow while The Brothers Karamazov meanders more around and has more themes but the structure suffers a bit. On the other side you can extract whole chapters of The Brothers Karamazov and they stand perfectly on their own so I guess it has my vote as best for now.

The Gambler is my most comfy pleasure, where I always go back when I don't know what to read.

Only read: Brothers, Notes, Idiot, and Crime

Crime was my favorite. I liked the manic edginess.
