i'm redpilled, kid

I lust love the thought of your retarded soul exiting your fat sweaty body and going straight to hell after your heart collapses from too much mountain dew

>he hasn't read pale fire

>>8251071
Ada is one of the great literary works of the 20th century and Pale Fire is superb. His lesser other works alone would still put him on the same level as any other respected writer of his era.

i know you're just bantering tho

if you want to learn about your consciousness, then stop being a rationalist, even better, stop being an hedonist and learn samatha mediation

i watched a talk of his once and he didnt seem next level or special in any way

however he's 100% right about the role age plays in academic performance, holding back your kid so they can be with people younger than them does give them a big boost

>>8250936
He's a legit hack

One if his books made me sperg out on a date... this girl recommended it to me. I read it before our next date and she brought it up again and I had to tell her it was shit.

>>8250919
This

>>8250919
I used to write every day but I fell out of the habit. Even though what I was writing wasn't very good, it was a great routine, and it was very introspective -- I learned a lot about myself. A big part of me wants to go back to it, but I can only think, what's the point?

Nothing. I want to start writing though, just don't know how to go about it I guess ?

The protagonist gets dicked mercilessly throughout the book

>>8250887
protagonist discovers a book in a library, falls in love with it, but can't find any information on the author.
He is about to give up when he sees an old card in the front of the book with the name of the last person to check it out. It was thirty years ago.
If you're lazy, you can make this person the character's estranged father.
What happens next is up to you.

protag moves to south america in an attempt to escape what he sees as the perils of modern capitalism, moves deep into the jungle or somehting idk you decide, gets bit by a snake and slowly dies over a few days, realising he cannot get help he simply has to accept his death

No, most of those like reading and have good taste. Neither of those things are your problem.

>>8250869
What books specifically have you had this problem with recently?

>>8250869
i feel you, OP. I am also worried about my ability to enjoy reading.

And life in general, to be honest.

What the fuck am I become

>>8250861
only downside is that i need to convert all my epubs to mobi. Is there an easier way to bulk convert it? is the azw3 any better than the mobi format?

>>8250865
Duokan has native epub compatibility.

>>8250836
It's pretty bad. Don't trust book rankings (with a couple exceptions), trust talented writers, esteemed critics, and genuine intellectuals. And no where in their vast corpus of literary critique do you see, say, Nabokov, Wilson, Sontag, Northrop Frye, etc. talk about this weak novel because it is not high art/literature.

>>8250836
The deadly combo of "woman writing about race issues" triggers all the edgelords, you should have seen the thread when she died

>>8250836
The book is pretty good, read it either way, it's not very long.
It's for the best if you form your own opinion.

>>8250829
Adam Johnson's The Orphan Master's Son

I thought it was good, maybe I'm a shitlicker, but I liked it.

My Struggle, Brief History of Seven Killings and... uh...

I think the Ferrante books were a hell of a lot more interesting than the Knausgård ones.

If you want to work in education I guess you cant go wrong.

I was English Major but decided for Marketing instead, seemed more conducive for what I wanted long-term

>>8250740
Sounds insane, but the reason I want to major in English over business is because I feel teaching is a much more noble and fulfilling occupation than anything business could offer. I don't like exploiting people for profit either so I would prefer to teach; although, I am conscious there is such thing as just business.

It's honestly difficult deciding what I want to do for a living. I certainly don't want to be stuck in a cubicle for eight hours a day though.

If you realize that teaching kids sucks, you can also work in social services. Or vice versa.
