I don't know much about classic Holly Hobbie but the art is so nostalgic and peaceful.

A third option is also from the earths children period, which is basically a soap opera in an early modern human camp, along with graphic sex.

is that the one where he's a giant worm?

I read it a while back. I can't remember thinking that the prose was anything to write home about but will say that it was a good story and his philosophy at the end was an interesting perspective.

The only time I see this book mentioned is when professionals suggest it "made them who they are today" or something.

It's a nice combination of memoir and philosophic essay. It's definitely not a very rigorous or challenging read, but it has it's thought-provoking moments. I read it in high school and thought it was super deep and meaningful back then, but now that I look back I realize it's merely an alright book. But who knows, you might gain something from it. It's a better Holocaust memoir than Night for sure.

No one will publish you. Even then no one will read your work. There's already thousands of philosophy grads who die without making a dent in the field beyond teaching

You can self-publish anything you want. There are also pay-to-publish journals that will publish anything legible.

Whether this is your goal or not is a different matter.

>>8404930
You can just put them on a blog or something, if there is literally anything to recommend to them people will pick up on it

>Writer Primo Levi (1919-1987), an Italian Jew, did not come to the wide attention of the English-reading audience until the last years of his life. A survivor of the Holocaust and imprisonment in Auschwitz, Levi is considered to be one of the century's most compelling voices, andThe Periodic Tableis his most famous book. Springboarding from his training as a chemist, Levi uses the elements as metaphors to create a cycle of linked, somewhat autobiographical tales, including stories of the Piedmontese Jewish community he came from, and of his response to the Holocaust.

Ah, now it makes sense. Saged.

>>8404776
what exactly are you implying here?

>>8404779
I'm asking if it's a book for adults or kids

>>8404795
Adults.

A simple google search on what the book is about would make that clear. As a matter of fact, simple culture knowledge on the book's significance to literature and contemporary culture would make it obvious.

A sense of progression

Do you read a book to finish it or to enjoy it?

>find out author that i liked wasn't a friendless virgin
heh.... i never really liked him anyway....

gee...this thread really doesn't seem to be made by the same guy who made threads saying Joyce and Homer were worse than some black author I've never heard of.

It's almost like there are users from another board trying to stir some shit, thank god that's not the case since no board on 4chan would rather shitpost other boards than stick to their own little shithole claiming they're fat virgin neets thanks to the joos :^)


Also, Dostoievski is overrated as fuck, his only good books are Demons and Brothers K
