Love him, recommend him all the time (unironically). I read 120 Days of Sodom when I was in college. Basically a grotesque mix of flowery language and insane depravity. De Sade was kind of windy and probably got off on his own prose
Pasolini did a fine job adapting 120 Days as a condemnation of the Italian gov't (he probably lost his life because of it)

Nope. He is considered monotonous and talentless when it comes to style.
Great philosopher though.

>And catching up the syringe, he fills it with milk, returns to behind his object, brandishes the nozzle, plunges it into the vent, and shoots out the fluid. Having been told what to expect,
Eugénie submits to everything; no sooner is the remedy in her entrails than he lies down on the
bed and orders Eugénie to come at once and straddle him. "Now," says he, "if you've got
anything to do, have the kindness to do it in my mouth." The timid creature has taken her place
as she has been told to do, she pushes, the libertine frigs himself, his mouth, sealed hermetically to her asshole, catches every drop of the precious liquid that leaps out of it.
That's a fucking bouquet m8

Related, how are audio books compared to reading?

Definitely not as good as reading to me. I recommend listening to audio books of books you'd be too lazy to read.

Are the Witcher books a brainlet filter? Because I seriously find them extremely boring and badly written, especially when the characters speak in walls of text with no breaks.

He is, also it's a very short read.

>>10014790
Definitely worth reading. SotS is short but you will need to read it a few times. Understanding early Marxism and the writings of Fromm, Gramsci, and Arendt will be a good compliment. Nietszche and Freud followed up by Phillip K. Dick and you're all set for a total psychic meltdown.

I have read so many biographies or at least the introductions and leaf jackets to see just how many artists lived off their families wealth, fucking around in school, trying on different careers like they were clothes, moving to different cities because they was depressed or didn't like the feel. I shoulda been an artist bros. but instead I was an autist.

It's a really good western. Fleshed out archetypes, engaging structure. It's not a "blown away" kind of book, just so well done it seems effortless.

My heaviest textbooks I ever had to carry around for school were both paperbacks.

I just finished reading the Fin de siècle portion of Max Nordau's 'Degeneration'. I see a lot of parallels between the degenerate Nordau depicts, and the modern day leftist. I wanted to read this book because at first I thought that maybe I was a Degenerate, and there are some similarities I find like being fatigued and
having self doubt. What does /lit/ think being a degenerate means?

4. The falseness of an opinion is not for us any objection to it: it is here, perhaps, that our new language sounds most strangely. The question is, how far an opinion is life-furthering, life- preserving, species-preserving, perhaps species-rearing, and we are fundamentally inclined to maintain that the falsest opinions (to which the synthetic judgments a priori belong), are the most indispensable to us, that without a recognition of logical fictions, without a comparison of reality with the purely IMAGINED world of the absolute and immutable, without a constant counterfeiting of the world by means of numbers, man could not live--that the renunciation of false opinions would be a renunciation of life, a negation of life. TO RECOGNISE UNTRUTH AS A CONDITION OF LIFE; that is certainly to impugn the traditional ideas of value in a dangerous manner, and a philosophy which ventures to do so, has thereby alone placed itself beyond good and evil.

The opinions validity is irrelevant, it's utility is important.

I was asking because the first half of this paragraph makes the point nicely, but then it keeps going so I was just worried I missed the point.
