>Eric Dodson https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr8ziBzqZlGAvv4krfAAORQ

If fun is allowed look up 3 minute philosophy, it's an aussie guy summaries philosophers with MS paint. Better than it sounds like.

What is some genuine tumblr-core literature that you guys have read?
I'm trying to get a feel for the mindset so that I may hopefully court one of these girls.

Don't you think it's rather shallow to want to court an arbitrary girl from a very specific demographic that you know absolutely nothing about?

I read taipei and I guess infinite jest would impress most of those girls. Be yourself though, act like you're casually and subtly smarter than that type of fiction. You read pynchon and joyce and faulkner and mccarthy, but you also read spiotta and didion and oates and joy williams-why?-because you're smart and open minded and well read, a real smooth modern intellectual.

So is this the new Stoner?
I find it incredible that some book no one outside of hungry and quality literary circles have hear of for 30 something years suddenly becomes "one of the best reads of 2015"

I have seen it in the library once.
I don't know why it's significant.
How is the english translation btw?
>>
I read it and it was pretty good
>>
I always scroll past this and see the Trystero horn on the cover. Too bad it's not a Lot 49 spinoff.
Maybe I'll write one.

A purely Orwellian novel. Eerily similar to the world we live in. A must have in any free thinker's arsenal.

Just awful, even as YA novel. I couldn't bring myself to finish it even despite its short length.

Should I experiment with hard drugs and battle with addiction and substance abuse for many years before being pulled off the streets by a charity worker, where I later spend a year in a halfway house beating my addiction and picking up the pieces of my broken life/relationships with family and friends in order to develop my character that can be portrayed in my masterpiece?

Can philosophy have an actual, quantifiable effect upon one's mental health? Take Nietzsche, for example: Did his philosophy drive him, at least in part, mad? Or was his madness completely unrelated? That is, nothing more than a likelihood as a consequence of his father's own madness, that sadly came to fruition.
Or can it even a physical impact on the brain, for example?

Yeah, if you're any kind of Marxist/SJW, then chances are a blunt object will make a very impact on your brain, and by mine own hand no less.

Probably the latter, though I do find it interesting how unexplored the relationship is between philosophy and mental health.

I'm not the biggest reader, but I wanted to really thank /lit/ for introducing me to this book.
I loved it and couldn't put it down. What are some books you might recommend for someone that really enjoyed this or what are some books that made you really laugh?

It's not nearly as funny or well written, but Tales of the City by Maupin features a similar cast of strange characters.

What have you been downloading lately? Pic related. Rate it, and psychoanalyze me please.

Downloading is the easy part, you have to read all that shit. At one point I almost exclusively read ebooks. But what happens is, that you download any book that looks remotely interesting and tell yourself that you'll read it eventually. I'm back to normal books now. At least I get shit done that way.
>>
Well you certainly haven't read all this, which means you are just downloading memes as you coincidentally come across them. Since your choices here are merely coincidental it's not really possible to psychoanalyze.
Durant's work alone will probably take you several years.
