Bump because why the fuck is there not an e-reader primer in the sticky what kind of board is this

I don't know but that was easily the best sherlock holmes adventure of that book

The Kindle Paperwhite is ok

/r9k/ is about spite and hatred for women and saying "peepee poopoo" and posting porn all day. Not just being a naive young guy in love who doesn't know better and has an excessively romantic idea of life.

>>8536391
that's true until they find a normalfag grill to obsess over

>>8536397
A "Stacy"?

/r9k/ is Elliot Rodgers, not the White Nights guy. He's just naive, they're bitter, hateful nobodies full of resentment toward those who are normal, because they aren't. They make up stories about sibling incest and torturing women. The White Nights guy was just lonely and naively hopeful, he's a tragic character, not a repulsive asshole.

Icons have the closest relationship between art and the Truth.

That's why it's called fiction, son.

Jesus
Imagine how many things it would settle.

Interesting question. My favorite philosophers are Kant and Wittgenstien, but I honestly don't know if they'd have much more to say, since what they said is so universal/not topical.

Maybe Nietzsche?

>>8536054
how fucking hard would liberal and neocon christians hate on jesus? how many of them would accuse him of being a bigot and the antichrist?

what?

just make sure what you're reading appears so disgusting that no one will bother to approach you

an e reader is not an option

Because Amor Fati

he is just a nerd version of Diogenes

>>8535958
Because he feeds into your need to validate yourself by affecting a trendy macho "intellectual" persona while misinterpreting his work to a stupefying degree like most of the population with only a surface level pop-cultural knowledge of Nietzsche.

Logos is the logic/reason underpinning all existence

ofc if god is to exist, he must exist within logos or logos must be an expression of his will. for things are as they are and cannot be as they are not, therefore there is reason/meaning to things as they are which is why they are not what they are not.

>tels are so stupid they think 'Logos' means one thing
back to lebbit please

>>8535812
Depends on who you're reading.

I like Heidegger's best.

Logos from Legein: to gather.

Logos doesn't equal logic, but rather logic is derived from logos, which is the gathering.

if you are exposed to truth, then you must recognize truth.

what if I read all nietzsche books next? when does the ride end?

you will be reading shakespeare without reading shakespeare

only anime does this to me, a visceral response requires appeal to multiple senses rather than perhaps the impression of the senses.

Thereby a visual medium will have more impact than a written medium, however both are still below experiencing the heights of both and this realization readily leads to Weltschmerz.

What I want to feel cannot match what I imagine I want.

Every time someone asks for a book that will change their life or give them a new point of view- you really can't predict that kind of thing. No book is guaranteed to give you catharsis. Books that changed or had a great effect on one reader may have no effect on you at all. It may be that someone picked up a certain book at just the right time in their life, but who is to say it will have the same impact on you? The only solution is to read constantly or as often as you can, so that you can come across the book that will leave its mark on you.

>Has any book ever evoked an emotional empathy within you that is as profoundly affectionate as they are seemingly personal?

It might be that English isn't your first language, but this is confusing. What is the "they (are personal)" referring to? You've switched from the second person to the third.


>Also why do you read books in the first place?
Because I enjoy reading. I can't give a simpler reason than that.

sure
