How does Kierks justify Christianity over other religions if he promotes a "personal" faith?

Heres a pro tip. All the greeks were super masculine manly men who ate tons of meat, lifted pillars, and got so ripped they could beat any MMA fighter with one hand tied behind their back. You have to channel this essence while you read them. Don't read like you would a book read like you are exercising. Also it doesn't hurt to get a few weight sets to use in between readings. Give a voice to what you are reading as a loud man yelling about something he is passionate about, sort of similar to how Hulk Hogan or Macho Man Randy Savage yells things, normally you shouldn't give a voice to things but this helps with "boring" things.

>I realized that I didn't make a mistake. I was made of mistakes. People are made of mistakes. This is what people are made of. Remember that people are made up of stars, our own celestial bodies, what comprises others incredibly out of reach yet twinkling in the distance, preconceived and premature, and yet we ourselves are made of the same cosmic dust-to-dust. Always remember, also, the universe was made by accident. And it all makes sense, because she is my sunbeam.
-"The Approximate Cost of Loving Caroline"

>Margot wore makeup like wood glue. I was the qawky, gangly teenager, with limbs like freshly washed baby carrots, starting at square tile one of the high school entrance. I had a stack of books the size of two Infinite Jests and a paperback Girl With Curious Hair. I was looking her, dead, in the eyes.
-"Paper Towns"

>"Why are you speaking to me, Colin?" When she spoke, she made it a breeze. When others spoke, I only heard wind. And yet, when I spoke to her, I talked to the wind.

Roll for your girlfriends, lads!

All of them. New England is the only /lit/ part of the country. Why do you think all the important publishers are in NYC hmm?

>>8483025

this or taoism. or both.

I love this. It's why Anselm is my favorite character from The Recognitions, and why Father Ferapont is my favorite in Brothers K. It's an archetype that needs to be explored a lot more.

i reread this and the recognitions recently bc i'm writing on them for uni, and in short absolutely. all gaddis is worth reading. i felt frolic was a little less good than the recognitions but that doesn't mean it's bad. it's very very funny.

>>8482910
i hate that fucking cover

>>8482910
Yeah Frolic is good. Only weak Gaddis is Carpenter's IMO

haven't heard of that one. Hall's Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art is better if it's to decipher art because it gives most stock figures of Western canon and stock symbolism.

Cassell's Dictionary of Superstitions doesn't deal with illustration but if you're looking for symbol dictionaries b/c /x/, it's good and cheap.

Rene Guenon - Symbols of Sacred Science

But might mot be what you're looking for..

Yeah this screencap is the only thing I've ever seen on the internet that has made me literally seethe with rage. I'm still clenching; fists, jaw and rectum alike.

i always thought a lot of women would like kate gompert but i guess sometimes you read for a specific purpose

>ART HAS TO CONFORM TO MY ETHICAL AND MORAL STANDARDS. ANY ART THAT DOESNT CONFORM TO MY VIEWPOINT IS TRASH
Are there really people this close minded in this world?

Wow, that place sure looks cozy. Hopefully I find a qt 3.14 hipster girlfriend/wife to share that with one day.

>What books do you guys recommend for my situation?
No book to recommend, but turning 18 might help.
Not even memeing.

Get the Reading Greek books from the Joint Association of Classical Teachers.

Remember to get the Text and Vocabulary book, and the Grammar and Exercises book.
