art criticism is dead evidently

hi icycalm

What finally kills off an artform is the invention of a higher one, thus what killed classical music was the electronic kind, what killed painting was photography, what killed the theatre was the cinema — and videogames will eventually kill them all

hahahahahahahahhahahahahhhhhh u cant make this shit up

>>8539534
Ecclesiastes
Genesis
Ephesians
Jonah
Luke
Acts
John
Job
Psalms
Revelations

In this order.
This is all you really need. Everything else are just filler stories or ancient tribal rules that aren't relevant unless you're a historian looking into tribal Hebrew culture.

at a minimum, weave these two lists together concurrently

OT:
Genesis
Job
Exodus
Ecclesiastes
Deuteronomy
Ruth
Joshua
Song of Songs
1-2 Samuel
Isaiah
Daniel
Hosea
Joel
Jonah
Malachi
(also sprinkle the Psalms throughout, either a few at a time or a book [I-V] at a time)

NT:
Luke-Acts
Romans
Galatians
Ephesians
James
Matthew (concurrent to or close to Isaiah)
1 Corinthians
Philippians
Colossians
John
Revelation

Also get hold of a timetable, especially for the OT books

What is bad about it? i'm just starting with writing

At night he could sometimes see the lights from a passing tanker or trawler. There wasn’t anything to do here except indulge the lazy unravelling of time, as if urging him to fill the vacuum between the distant screeches of drunk women. It’s all rotten to the core. To think that people had once lived here, pitifully evident by the crumbling ruins of farmhouses, crooked teeth jutting out of the landscape, the acidic soil rejecting fragments of collarbone in disgust. As he watched the bokeh of street lights dancing on the water, through tears, Michael came to the realisation he’d left the keys to his flat at home. His stomach sunk like a boat without its bottom. The Jews must have done this.

I think it works better like this desu. Though it's still not clear what indulging time lazily unraveling has to do with urging him to fill the vaccum. And the crooked teeth beside the collarbone seem like a semi-mixed metaphor. Maybe jawbone would be better instead of collarbone.

I know it's a meme but my diary, desu.

starts of slow, gets better, then suddenly eight thousand years later, gets slow again and then ends.. what happened? i re-read this about two weeks ago and i still can't remember why the story stopped there.

stunningly mediocre. it feels like you're on a really long bus ride that drags on and on but a passenger breaks up with their partner midway through the journey and the brief reprieve of vicarious drama makes you think the rest of the trip will be good. you are wrong. you are dead wrong.

there's like 30 books on different topics.
I'm trying to read all of the ones from antiquity -> romanticism. i like them a lot.

Thanks, I'll check them out. Some people on Reddit recommended me Art Since 1900 by Hal Foster and some others, thing is I'm afraid that it's too postmodernism leaning. Can anyone confirm?

it's like comedians who only do things to get bits out of them. you're not really living a life. i get it

While we're at it let's share more vicious literary quotes, if anyone's got any more.

Sincerity becomes the honesty of people who cannot be honest with themselves. - Gaddis

That's not what I heard. It was well known he was always on his knees in the alley at the back of the Greek restaurant.
