Get off your high horse and start working with the text, that's how it's supposed to be and that's what everyone else does

Some Victorian gothic seems to work. And Norse sagas.

my life as a beach boy by Mike Love

>>9904639
Thanks lad. Much appreciated. How is it?

Watch Love and Mercy

can't believe people are actually so scared of life's one inevitability that they have memed this so hard for so many years it's actually baffling

none of the proposed afterlives even sound good. who wants to be around forever anyway

as a buddhist, i wish it did

Kierkegaard was spot on when he said that the most terrifying thought imaginable isn't that we perish, but that we can never die.

Tolstoy
Musil?
Lotta Japanese lit is like this I think as well. Try Mishima's short stories Death in Midsummer and Patriotism

My brother is reading it in Russian

Im reading it on the toilet. Its pretty guud desu

Reading it right now. Pierre reminds me of my own awkwardness so much I hate him.

Think he's wrong about the whole, "our leaders are secretly nazis" thing, but he's probably right about the sinister forces thesis that there is something weird going on with the elites of America and this has always been the case. I don't think "satanic" captures the weirdness. My bet is that the elites are probably organized along some sort of esoteric religious lines with secret societies, left hand path magic (that are extreme in their rituals: the more extreme, the more power they think they can get), etc. and that this is mistaken for babby-tier "satanism". Also, you don't need to buy into supernatural explanations for this to work. To say our elites are doing weird, ritualized death and sex magic isn't to buy into the idea that this stuff is ontologically real. You can have an anthropological explanation of some group's beliefs without buying into the ontology of the beliefs.

>tfw you wanted a discussion but op left his own thread

whelp, going to sleep now, also saging.

desu I didn't expect any replies til tomorrow.
I concur w the first post of course.
I really found Hitler Legacy to be a monumental piece, because it really lays open how things that seem so distinct and foreign to each other, how those things flow out of each other organically, and I learned strongly that World War 1&2 are the same war and that this war never actually ended.
Esp interesting was getting into detail about agents of Britain and Germany in Middle East during that ww1&2 extended period, spec Max Oppenheim and Muslim Brotherhood et c

All this the more nuanced by the films Hypernormalisation and Pervert's Guide to Ideology, along with Family of Secrets book about Bush Dynasty

is this what he did after formalizing set theory?

In all seriousness this book really made me see life in a new way. Specifically Frankl's third way of finding meaning - overcoming unavoidable suffering with dignity. And for people who haven't read the book, that's much deeper than it sounds.

reza aslan's shia- his book Understanding Islam doesn't stint in that direction. I remember checking out a few books from the library relevant thanks to his bibliography.

It doesn't even matter. It's batshit on every page.

What an awful thread

>>9904215
I wouldn't know, I can't read Russian.

That's a funny way to spell David Foster Wallace

instead of using a bookmark, i'll leave a paperback on the page i was reading by laying it on that page on a flat surface and keep it that way until i pick back up again, which could be hours or days.

>go to the local bookstore
>check out interesting books
>don't buy any
>download them off the internet for free afterwards
a shame I can't do it anymore because the place went out of business, though

>the captcha says to select all street signs
>click on all the cars instead
>sometimes it goes through

hopefully it sets back google's self driving car project by a few years so people can still make a living driving uber
