Redpill me on Jane Austen and the Brontës /lit/.
Are they worth reading or a meme for plebs and empowered womyn?
If they are worth reading, how comfy are they, and where to start?

>meme
>womyn
>comfy
Go back to /r9k/
google it
My gf studies Enlish and totally loves Janes Austen. I think they're great make-out movies and I find them hilarious because they remind me of that TV-show from Max Payne. I'm sorry that I'm an uncultivated pig
Is meme connected to myth?

Why does /lit/ have such an enormous hateboner for this book ?
It's not just /lit/; have you ever been in the real world? I've never met anyone that thinks highly of The Great Gatsby. Even as far as forced high school curriculum goes, it's far worse than The Lord of the Flies, Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, and To Kill A Mockingbird.
>>8249461
Yeah I've noticed people calling it shitty
What I wanna know is their arguments, since no one ever goes beyond the "it's shitty" from what I've talked with people
So I asked here
Why don't you personally like it, anon ?
>>8249441
>marathoned
>chapter is literally like less than ten pages long.
How do I motivate myself to read more? I enjoy reading but I can only go for about 40 pages at a time and I have a hard time getting started. I wanted to use the summer to burn through my to read list but I've yet to finish a single book.

Eat less processed foods and sugar. Get more sunlight and fresh air. You will find your ability to concentrate on reading is improved. Your comprehension should also benefit.

If it's impossible to understand life, then what value does trying to understand anything has?
>>8249343
You should learn the value of proper grammar.
All my life, false and real, right and wrong entangled.
Playing with the moon, ridiculing wind, listening to birds,
many years were wasted seeing the mountain covered with snow.
This winter, I suddenly realize snow makes a mountain.
>>8249346
I question the value of proper grammar.
Post the personal things you've written out.
Here is an entry from yesterday...
Woke up early, kissed this bad bitch
Rolled me up a blunt, then I took a piss
Can't remember what I did last night
I'm just tryna spend a hunnid stax everyday of my life
Money is the anthem
Black girls in the bedroom, white girls in the bathroom

What do you all think about the continuity of consciousness and the nature of human identity considering the past and future are just functional markers utilized by our minds?
>>8249299
Stop reading nonwhites they give stupid opinions like the tripe you just wrote out.
>>8249340
I believe the continuity of consciousness is a pretty big topic within western philosphical circles.
Buddhism has some pretty accurate assements about life imo
>>8249363
I've noticed while tripping on acid that I can relate to Buddhist ideas easier, but they amount to the same things written by Western philosophers. Specifically Nietzche's idea of eternal recurrence.
What are some books that deal with sexual promiscuity?Can be from both spectrums, and/or from a positive and negative light.
Nymphomaniac from Lars von Trier is about sex-negative feminism

This thread is now a woman/feminism/female sexuality hate thread
ROBOTS GATHER 'ROUND
All women these days take over 500 dicks before they leave high school while I'm forced to be shunned forever because I'm a genetically inferior male.
And they talk about 'male priviledge'? Give me a fucking break.

God is the act of being itself to the medieval and apostolic theologians. Being requires energy: all matter is itself a form of energy. Even the act of moving requires energy. Thus, creation requires energy. Is energy God or did God somehow create energy?
Alternate question: Is Thomas overrated compared to a great deal of much lesser known medieval thinkers?
>>8249253
>Being requires energy
No it doesn't, numbers have being and no energy, so do angels.

Could anyone recommend me some essential literature about psychology? Any kind is appreciated
Make up your own theories, they will be as valid as the known ones.
tl;dr: psychology is a pseudoscience
>>8249151
Personally I just read sumeries of fruid jung lacan and about current cognitive trends.
>>8249173
I have to say that despite the fact that lacan's ideas are not considered relevant i still found them extremely interesting and provocative.
Also, read deleuze's chizophrenia book.

I read this after GR and I couldn't get past page 20 and it really put me off his other stuff. Are the others also this bad?
How do you know where you cross the line between being eloquent and being an insufferable pretentious try-hard?
that was funny.
Always copy Hemingway when in doubt.
Should I put this in my resume, Y/N?
