He strikes me as the kind of guy that revolves around great minds rather than being one. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Shitposting is an art so, with that in mind, I propose Finnegans Wake.

You know all those people you see working on laptops in starbucks?

Urbanites are a revolting parody of real humans though.

I was panting now. Was I sweating? I couldnt inhale, my breathing had become irregular and distorted. I had started panting, like a dog. My mind diffracted again.
I heard a knock on the door. Opening it, I was hardly surprised. It was her.
"hey" she said
"hey, uh, come on in"
"thanks.."
She sat at the sofa, and asked me to sit opposite her. I was confused, my heartbeat was rising. As I sat, perfectly unmoving, she ran a zip down the front of her dress, and it fell to the ground. She stood in her underwear, and beamed like a godess. She reached behind her and unhooked. They spilled out, and I didn't dare even blink. She sat back down, clutching her right breast. She bit her lower lip and looked me dead in the eyes.
"No touching. You only get to see" she commanded.
I nodded, drool and spit spilling, my hand reaching and caressing.

My bed creaked and my blanket was a mess. My breathing was ravenous, I made audible moans. I heard thunder crackle outside.

I watched as she moaned loudly. The whore slipped two fingers through the satin cloth of her panties and ran them furiously up and down. I kept my balance with one hand as the other fumbled and angrily made its way into my pants. Her fingers continued, eventually she was screaming. She ripped off her panties and stuck four fingers in, she splashed around, and eventually pangs of pleasure seared through her soul and her chest protruded out, and she collapsed in a heap of sweat, warmth and pleasure. I finished soon after too, and fell down, white dripping from my pants. For a while after, the only sounds were of us breathing, loud and satisfied. She picked up her things, clothed herself in the dripping underwear and put in her dress. She didn't speak a word as she left. I wasn't confused. Only content. After that day, she began to come and go rather frequently. And all the while we never spoke a word to each other.

When I had finished I looked up at the fan. My throat was completely parched and unpleasantly dry. I didn't bother washing off. I slept in my filth.

Why do noobs always start with a dark and rainy night. Too cliche.

Shit, the translator didn't translate them?
Also, I suggest Google
http://www.rapiddiffusion.com/translations-name-rose-eco/

Just download "The Key to The Name of the Rose." It covers all translations, references, etc., and is floating around the net everywhere. I own it as a real book.

The Art Lover - Carole Maso

Why do you not spend your time on poetry you actually enjoy?

What an odd threat, actively seeking things to get outraged about

Read 'On Women' by based Schopenhauer, fellow frogposting friend.

Changed my life for the better

Already done so. That's rudimentary reading. I'm asking for poetry. Keats or Milton esque. Something that will suffocate me with either depression or anger about my situation. I just need to think about it, other than ruminating on how I fucked up.

Why not just read Keats or Milton? Regardless, Juvenal is the greatest poetry to read when angry, but Ecclesiastes is good too. Don't dwell on your wounds though Anon. Consider how you are becoming something else: give Rilke a try.

Just watch youtube videos on your interest areas instead.

Reading information doesn't magically get it into your head better. If you can't read, you can't read. It's a habit developed in childhood.

There's no magical tip you pleb. Just keep pushing though.

Reading does wonders on your attention span, but the only way to improve your attention is to keep reading.

Start with meme-tier books if you get bored quickly - even if its a basic genre fiction escapism novel.

The process of reading a book for a few minutes before moving on to the next is called "browsing". Go to your local library and do that until you find something that grips you. Remember that sometimes we imagine we wish to know something that we don't truly desire to know. It is good to have ambitions for your knowledge, but all of us must consider our strength.

Find some philosopher whose ideas resemble a more developed, sophisticated, systemized version of yours m8. Then read him and go "yep I'm right" then read the critiques, then read critiques of the critiques, etc.

Ayn Rand?

read a history of philosopher (Maggees)

read some key works (or use secondary sources to learn their philosophy) of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant

then research whatever philosophy you please, use sites like SEP if there's any preliminary info you need before reading a guy (say you're reading Heidegger but want to get the gist of Heraclitus first)

All of these movies are pretty classist, from a critical theory perspective.

That goes for the novels too, including To Kill a Mockingbird.
