So, /lit/ how many pages do you read while taking a shit?
Do you have a book or two at reach when hitting the crapper?

I'm another man, made of real flesh and blood, typing this to you right now. I'm just as real as you. We could just as easily be sitting in the same room together. I'm a real person, not an abstract, anonymous post. Now imagine shit coming out of my ass.

Hello /lit/
Let's play a game. Bookmarks. We decide, either based on the book, or the author of the book, what the most appropriate item would be to use as a bookmark, or an ironic item to use as a bookmark. You get the idea.
tldr: funny/appropriate bookmarks

What are some good books that bring me back to reality?
I have become so lost in postmodern absurdism and memes that my perspective on reality is total chaos and everything feels like a pointless purgatorial dream that ends when we die. I keep on having weird dreams and I am always tired and wanting to go back to sleep and dream again. The universe is too deep and cold.

Since you're in the abyss, why not The Kybalion?

Why is hermeticism etc the go to for occult stuff? Could just as well point him toward some chaos magick, it'd nicely tie in with what's going on with him at the moment

I have already started reading P. D. Ouspensky and George Gurdjieff. Esotericism > Occultism

Man i have no fucking idea how to feel about this guy. I've read some Rothbard so I've seen some serious shit but idk where to place this guy, is he the absolute craziest Libertarian or is he the most sane Libertarian?

lol pretty much this.
His Democracy: The God That Failed is how you separate the principled libertarians from the posers.
If he sounds crazy, it's because society is.
Tangent: he called Keynes a faggot.
If you want to dip your toes, here's Hoppe writing how the theses of Marxism about class are basically correct, but then he gives it a Mises-Rothbard analysis.

Why are non-literary people happier than literary people?
Why does there seem to be an inverse relationship between how happy you are and how many books you read?

what exactly are you basing these assumptions on?
>>
>>8264558
27 years (thought I guess you might aruge only 9 or 10 of those years were of concious effort) of attempting to associate myself with literary people and dissociate myself from non-literary people.
In that time, I've noticed the inverse relationship.

Reading promotes social isolation which leads to depression.

What does /lit/ think of Marshall McLuhan?
I just picked up this book and have started it recently, I find him very interesting as a personality and he has some useful ideas from what I can tell.
inb4 form your own opinions: I'm curious to see (or rather read as McLuhan would note) a discussion about someone who isn't often discussed on this board.

True Love Shinning
An inner flame in between
A big heart we had
Formed by our kiss
Wildest Dreams
Didn't need zines
To tell us the state of our fashion
Late can be great
If you know how to handle your time
It's so good
Name a movement
Sing a sign
Better yet a song
That sends a sine
Wavy Love
