No. Get over it. They're exhausted forms

>>8530825
Wrong and you're a pleb.

Absolutely OP. If you look at poets like Keats and Byron, they brought back romantic and chivalric poems from what was widely considered a dead genre, just as it is today. There's no reason that can't happen today, although it may just not happen with romance and chivalry, but perhaps another 'dead' genre.

>>8530861
I want epic poems to come back so fucking bad.

>>8530804
poorly. paying more than 99 cents for a book marks you as a fucking pleb.

>>8530819
Was a gift card, so I didn't spend anything. I did try to go for the cheapest option I could on everything though.

Adequate selection, read them don't let them sit around as some physical representation of your desire to be a patrician.

This guy is a trolling nigger don't pay attention to him.

Its your personal library, let him have his own shitty library with some shitty overly worn books stained with some other /lit/tard's cum.

It'll tell you your yearning for philosophical justification and intellectual process are a result of your sexual frustration, so if you carry on after that, you're probably only suitable to become a celibate academic rather than reproduce, so you could well succeed in that futile vein of "accomplishment".

of course, to not stumble on that cul-de-sac, you're going to need to sponsor a few whores back to a non-debased state, which is where most of /r9k/ falls down.

try his on suffering next if you think you're doing okay.

> challenging and deep
That little piss-ant straw-man rant is basically a grumpy letter to the editor that could have been penned by any pompous /lit/ misogynist. It can be understood and disregarded by anyone, regardless of brain damage.

>t. male so upset schoppy called his intellectual striving out as just being thirsty he's forgotten the essay even insulted him

No, Anna Karenina is his magnum opus. You fucked up.

It's your own fault.

About 25 or so more pages and it will, yes. Think of the first 100 pages as an introduction to the characters.

Why are frog shits so stupid?

You could generalise it to:

The Greeks did fuck all and the pseuds worship them most of all.

''Waking up to a huge CRASH always means something big is happening. It's never CRASH - mom made pancakes or CRASH - we decided to adopt a golden retriever.''

I prefer pic related.

That's fine.

Yeah, a philosophy degree is basically the default degree people get when planning on doing law. If you do that, look at other prerequisite courses that most law schools require or prefer to make sure you've taken all the pre-law courses your degree might not necessarily require.

But honestly I'm going to a fairly good law school right now, and the most common degrees are philosophy, economics, English and business. You can basically major in whatever you want as long as you do the pre-req courses, get good grades and do well on your LSAT.

Thanks alot. I'll be 27 when I graduate uni, do you think my age will affect my career prospects when it comes to finding work in the legal field? what sort of age range are the students in your school?

It lead to him being the most popular of philosophers, so it's pretty evident, really.

Because Nietzsche said most people should not read.

presocratics are nice, particularly Parmenides/Zeno and Heraclitus

The best part of Karl Ove's books is his friend Geir.

It's hard for me to imagine what I could possibly get out of reading these books.

DFW is in God's presence, as nothing is separate from God.

>Those who love God and prepare themselves to assimilate his light will begin to be transformed even in this life; they become "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4). But those who resist and ignore God "harden their hearts" (Hebrews 3:15). If they "love darkness rather than light" (John 3:19), they will find the inescapable brilliance to be searing misery and paradoxical blindness.
