Is there a philosopher who hated religion as much as Stirner? He rants about it or the God-fearing in every chapter. I'm not even sure what more there is to learn from him, but his rants are entertaining.
>Wheels in the Head
"Man, your head is haunted; you have wheels in your head! You imagine great things, and depict to yourself a whole world of gods that has an existence for you, a spirit-realm to which you suppose yourself to be called, an ideal that beckons to you. You have a fixed idea!
Do not think that I am jesting or speaking figuratively when I regard those persons who cling to the Higher, and (because the vast majority belongs under this head) almost the whole world of men, as veritable fools, fools in a madhouse."

Der Einzige is little more than plain old dull nominalism for the intellectually bankrupt adolescent. If you haven´t read the chap, consider yourself lucky, if you have, take consolation in the fact that you'll grow out if it.

You fucked up by posting an NSFW pic for a SFW board, don't do that shit.

As for The Ego and Its Own, I liked it and thought it made some good points, but its lack of self-examination is where it falls short.

Overall though you really can't fault it unless you believe in a god, which itself is tantamount to not having a discussion because divine law is portrayed as infallible, perfect and eternal.

Actually yeah, come to think of it has anyone produced a decent critique of Stirner? I've seen bits and pieces but they always resolve into personal preferences rather than logically reasoned alternatives.

That bad, huh?

27 volumes isn't hard when you have entire pages that have a picture of refuse floating in a scummy pond, the letter E or random phrases like "WUZ" taking up entire pages

Does this have an actual intricate plot, and discernible ideas, and stuff?

Someone on /lit/ said it's supposed to be a parody of YA series.

>>8407578
Yes it's a gimmick. Why would you even have to ask?

>>8407543
It gets pretty damn mean-spirited towards the end and takes a relatively dim view of society, but his books after J R are more negative overall.

Agapē Agape is where all the bile he's built up over his lifetime spills out, though you can't really appreciate it until you read the rest and know at least a little about what his life was like.

>>8407559
Thanks! I'm looking forward to it.

Holden Caufield grew up and wrote the greatest piece of literature, the Recognitions, of the 20th century.

Family guy is shit and I haven't read that book so I don't care. Plus, next time you address me as '/lit/' I'll fucking end you you fuckING bitch. Got it?

Murakami is a hack.

Am I a pleb for having read no Murakami outside of The Strange Library, which was supposed to be YA if I remember?

I have After the Quake but I never got around to reading it.

Murakami is trash, just read whatever, all books are the same.

psychological surrealism

just look into general post-postmodern authors. Murakami, Foster Wallace, etc.

around 50 is when I quit

>>8405790
I read 80 is the norm. I figure I'll make it an even hundred before I call it quits. I should be done with my second novel by that time and would be ripe for another round of disappointment. btw, I failed to mention this is the first novel I've sent queries for, if anyone's reading.

I raped that bitch's corpse, LOL.

His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

"My fist turned into a yellow rose, then it started choking itself into other colors" Said the sailor while he recovering Excalibur, this way he could avoid becoming a pirate.
