I know maybe I didn't describe it right but you should really read it, it's the best book I've ever read

2666. Don't fall for the pomo meme.

Read 2666. Underworld has been the most disappointing book I have read.

>>8489979
If you're American (or Canadian I guess) read underworld. If you're anything else read 2666

>>8489970

>In order to alleviate his suffering from chronic headaches, persistent vomiting, and a painful digestive disorder, Nietzsche tried a long list of medications as well as a variety of diets. Ironically, it is very likely that Nietzsche’s obsession with fruit was responsible for inflaming his digestive discomfort. According to the innkeeper at the Alpine Rose, where Nietzsche stayed for an extended time in 1884, Nietzsche’s daily food intake consistently included a beefsteak for breakfast and fruit for the rest of the day. Not only did Nietzsche purchase fruit from the inn and from local Italian vendors, but he received baskets of fruit shipped to him by his friends as well. This wasn’t a small amount of fruit. Rather, on more than one occasion, Nietzsche ate almost three kilograms (6.5 lbs) of fruit during the course of a single day.

What a poor and bland person you must be to ask this...

>>8489802
Because my backlog is already going to take me forever and I don't want to chuck another one on willy nilly

>>8489802
not OP but i'll buy this today and report back in a few weeks

Men are visual, women are more into those shitty erotica books.
The whole thing is about some billionaire cowboy musician quarterback who comes down from mt Olympus to fuck some nobody bitch.
This is clearly a female fantasy.

men, especially now, want porn straight to the point, no story, just two (or whatever you are into) people fucking, some woman gagging on a cock till her eyes roll back and cum is shooting out of her nose.

I understand why this is, we all have ADD now.
But as person who grew up fapping to hentai, i personally feel a good story can enhance porn.
Of course this is a very rare occurrence.
A good story can set the mood.
But i dont think anyone is thinking they want to be the kubrick or (insert great writer) of porn, rather they are thinking how much money am i going to make

>But i dont think anyone is thinking they want to be the kubrick or (insert great writer) of porn
You're looking for The Devil in Miss Jones (1973).
>>8489781
Men haven't had feature length or book porn in decades to the best of my knowledge.

I love books like this. The idea of falling for a dom like this is hot.
Shit author though

>>8489680
No.

>>8489680
Of course he fucking isn't. How do you even formulate that question?

>>8489680
yes, he lives in a barrel on the streets of new york and likes dogs

Mein Kampf - My failures are not my own fault, the Jews did it, we need a little room to grow
The Communist Manifesto - Poor people's failures are not their own, Rich people did it, we need a little room to grow

>>8489655

>we need a little room to grow

That sounds like just about any bit of political philosophy desu senpai

>>8489671
>>8489655
When i see a little room to grow i put it to the tune of say a little prayer for you with Hitler singing it in a lounge.

The consensus among actual professional philosophers if you ask them is that the split is a meme

Link to the study? I've heard conflicting opinions on this, but nothing that expresses or hints to some official consensus. Some say the divide is arbitrary, others say that there are obvious differing characteristics.

This, very known ranking list of Anglophone schools disagrees with you: http://www.philosophicalgourmet.com/analytic.asp

None. Books don't magically give you money.

Marx ofc.

This.

Something I want to read, or something that I want to read but not sure if it will be good or not so she can test it out (because she has to read it otherwise I will make her feel bad for not doing so).

This is the first time seeing it, and tbqh, just going by the title, I bet it's just going to be another "whoa, stoicism mang" book, written in shitty prose.

>>8489343
that's more Ryan Holiday's thing

"Models" was good and was one of the few self-help books I immediately applied to my life. I didn't know he would be coming out with another book so as of now I'm looking forward to it. Thanks, OP.
