he thinks that being the last man is bad

>>8559347
I should feel bad about how okay I am with that right image

Because it's correct.

>>8559202
but most of them believe in the wrong kind of nihilism

>>8559194
Because it's the disease of our time.

ugh.

He is not wrong about having a "conversation" with the authors and the works you read. He fails to notice, however, that if the conversation goes nowhere it's not because of Joyce, but because of himself.

Wow. Not to one-up you but here's a review of Critique of Pure Reason that I cringed to recently.

Is it possible to hire someone for an assisted suicide? I don't really have the balls to pull the trigger myself, but I've just realized my life is going no where and will likely never go anywhere, so I need to get out now.

This election sucks I hate being a woman I want to kill myself everything is bad I wish I didn't have to ghost write I wish I didn't ever publish under a male pseudonym I wish I just followed through and slit my wrists in a bathtub I don't ever want to be pregnant I don't want children I just want to be alone and I want to be in the fetal position and I want to just give up on life and become homeless and I hate being afraid

I wish I had the courage to just end it

Knowing this place, as it is today, all i'll ever get is mocking for saying this, for sympathy points I don't care

I just want anyone to hear me through an anonymous voice and I just wish everything turned out good

Nothing is good and I want to drink myself to death

I don't want to be scared anymore.

I don't want to cry anymore.

The sequel to My Twisted World.

>>8560031
Dark edgy nihilistic wicked sense of humor

The Iliad

Sólo dos! Español e inglés.

I can speak English, Ancient Greek, and Latin. That's it.

I refuse to ever learn Spanish or Portuguese. Dirt monkey languages.

>>8558391
Most of /lit/ can hardly speak english

Fuck, I've been wondering the same. Met many "poetesses" citing this

Wow.... This really made me think.....

I have been involved with three "poetic" girls and each of them have had this book. What's the deal?

Joel Osteen is so rich. His faith must be strong. Maybe if I buy his books I can be rich, too.

In my Moby-Dick class, we're discussing the scene where Ahab throws his pipe into the ocean.

A guy literally raises his hand and says
>I THINK IT WAS SOMETHIN OTHER THAN TOBACCO IN THAT PIPE!!11 KEKEKEK :PPPPP

The instructor had no idea what to do. She just paused for a second and then called on someone else.

Was that really published? Absolutely disgusting.

Americans will always be deeply, fundamentally STUPID when it comes to literature and the humanities in general, and nothing will EVER change that.

How is your preferred method by genre, but you hate genre shit? Do you mean novel, poetry, short story collections, etc.?

I have mine by country of author origin and time period within that.

>not size

just...reorganize them...not that hard dude

Toronto:
BMV on Bloor. Big selection, very cheap. If you go in you are basically guaranteed to find a book you want to read for less than ten dollars.
Eliot's bookshop. Narrow, two floors. Really packed. Disorganized but a lot of good books cheap.

>>8558976

Amazon/Waterstones

>>8558107

>Anything Steinbeck

he ruined linguistics thats what he did

>>8557856
of course, how do you think
he got a platform to speak from where no one cuts him off

same with Dawkins

>>8557856
He destroyed behaviorism as a tenable philosophy of psychology. I'd say that's pretty noteworthy

church pays

there is an academic community around western esotericism, but its small

one of the major theories is that scholars have treated occultism as "rejected knowledge" its neither theology/philosophy or science

>occultism
>means "hidden"

You're asking why the occult is not taught in schools? Gee, don't know. Write your congressman
