Try not to discuss it in the first place?

If they're wondering why they don't have grandkids yet, just explain you're a socially retarded weirdo and can't even get a gf. Works for me.

Not OP, but someone has references or advices please ? I do not have the time these days to study others things than what I have to do for my memoirs, but I will keep interesting recommandations near me.

I was planning on doing one with Bloom, but there are too many good Bloom faces to pick.

So excited to read this, it'll be the next thing I'll read. Been so pre-occupied with things like Quixote and Juan.

Demons by Dostoevsky

Kafka

Dunno, but DWF has a great essay on Lynch (great iff you like both DFW and Lynch)

Hawkes has a few that capture a similar sort of feeling as Eraserhead.

The Cannibal
Death, Sleep & The Traveler
The Passion Artist
The Lime Twig
The Beetle Leg

Parts of Second Skin too I guess.

I tried to find one, but I think you'll need to be more specific.

Honestly, anything close to that would do.

Like I've said an hour ago in a kierkegaard theread with the same OP picture, Plato (but not aristotle), kierk himself and hegel.
Kierkegaard is also a fideist, hence your belief according to him would be quite different than the one of st. Augustine, Aquinas and closer to Pascal.
Go for Confessions of Augustine as a more newbie friendly work which is also an earlier part of the philosophical history.

>>8378970
Just try reading it and use the internet for help. For an intro to Kierk (but not to either-or) I recommend looking up Bert Dreyfuss's lectures at Berkeley. You can find them on itunes as a podcast.

You don't really need to read anything before. He uses some Hegelian terminology, but you can look those terms up to see what he means.
the sparknotes page for Fear and Trembling has a terms page with these definitions

This is back when they believed a load of shit that essentially happiness more or less necessarily was a result of knowledge and correct perspective. Now it's more or less conventional wisdom that there is nothing but perspectives, some of which may lead to intense joy like buddhism and some which lead to shit like believing ernest becker or the far more trivial, pleb versions of becker like cioran and ligotti. I.e. life is bad and everyone secretly is awful because I'm ugly and sad

Favorite is Ulysses - it's good.
Least favorite is IJ - it's not good
GR - yes Tommy, your sure wrote down a lot of things. Very nice.

>>8378776
Ulysses > GR > IJ

They're all fine but IJ is the least fine

Ulysses is by far my favorite, really got a lot of great moments and I feel like Ive learned a lot with this book when it comes to seeing how great literature can be, amazing passages and moments, bored me only in a few chapters but that is really minimal. Leopold and Dedalus are among the most memorable and deep characters that I have found in any form of midia

Worst for me is IJ, some good passages, moments and characters, but A LOT of useless stuff, also the style is the weakest when compared to the other 2, still a good book tho

Also Ive read all 3 in portuguese, fight me
