Why are Anons so unlike the characters in works of literature popular on here/the authors of those works?
Raskolnikov wouldn't be shitposting and bitching on 4chan after he had his Enlightenment, Tolstoy certainly wouldn't be this cynical.

often times its irony. but lets get real, anons who spend time shitposting and being mean on 4chan aren't going to red tolstoy, and if they do, they surely wont enjoy him.

Emulation characters and authors isn't the point of literature.

Is Hegel as essential for understanding of the further philosophy as Kant? From what I read so far, hegelian philosophy is just a huge heap of meaningless wordplay over dialectical method, and "muh whole" (mainly applied to muh German nation). Does he have any redeeming qualities?

How often does this occur in Literature? Should I take this question to /x for the magical angle. I don't even really like trains.

>Finally finish Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Good fucking god. I can see what Bloom meant when he said it was 'unreadable'. I'd like to think it simply didn't translate well, and was far nicer in its original German.
Nietzsche said that Kant's CPS was the "secret joke of his soul", essentially proving the common man right in a way he could never understand. I'd say Thus Spoke Zarathustra was the secret joke of Nietzsche's soul.

How many books do you read at once? I normally read one at a time. I know some who like to read 2 or 3 at a time.

Two; one in English, and one in another language.

Three.
One fiction, one non-fiction and one poetry collection

Over 20, since I don't seem to finish them.

Is it a bad idea to limit myself to reading only contemporary fiction? I.e. fiction written after 1960? If so, any recommended authors for contemporary stuff? Don't have as much time to read as I'd like and I'd rather be more in touch with the current cultural zeitgeist.

All of the greatest works of literature are written before this date. To only read books from the 60's onward is to prevent yourself from reading 90% of the greatest works every written.
>>
it's fine
you can read what you like
honestly most of /lit/ doesn't read enough contemporary literature and is pretty disengaged with anything happening at the moment
it's easier to read the established classics once they've had time to become canonised i guess
>>
>>8327868
He said the 1960s, not post 2010. With all the Pynchon, Delillo, Murakami, Ishiguro, Borges, Márquez, Bolaño etc /lit/ talks more than enough about post 60's works.

Is Wittgenstein a step beyond Nietzsche in any way? If so, how?

Straighten up your question, you stupid little shit.
>>
>>8325879
No. The two have little, if anything, in common except that they both really thought they had a solution to beat "old philosophy" for a hot minute.
>>
>>8325921
This. Though, to directly answer your question: nah. Neech is still more influential. Wittgenstein just thinks he out-philosophied philosophy when in reality the logic of the Tractatus doesn't add up (both on the microscopic, analytic level where his syntax is just blatantly wrong, and on the macro level of the 1-7 proclamations where #7 is an embarassingly earnest leap for someone supposedly commited to logic); the Blue and Brown Books are scattered and contradictory, to say the least; and, the PI is rather silly and, ultimately, a boring observation about language moreso than it is about philosophy.
