That which, to a degree, partakes in the transcendental idea of autism.

A carpenter, if he wants to be a good one, does he measure everything with great exactitude, three or four times in a row? And if a jeweler or a smith does the same, can we not say they want to be good at what they do? And do they not draw the envy of those carpenters, jewelers and smith who are lazier than them, and measure everything only once or twice? Well, my dear anon, an autist is someone who wants to be good at everything and consequently draws everyone's envy and hate.

He finished the book and had it published OP. He also had a midevil antique he would have loved donated in his name to his heaven on earth (where he spent his whole life) and had dedicated to him a work he valued more than whatever Pynchon you've been getting wet over recently. These three works alone, without the frequently stated fact that he was indeed happy despite all of just horrible misfortune, can tell he that he was just in feeling that he was no failure.

Perhaps it's not of a fault of the object that it doesn't seem to meet you, though I'm not implying you have a faulty expectation either. You two have crossed paths and couldn't understand each other. Perhaps another time. That is, if only you allow yourself to go on to other things accepting you don't know it for the time being.

LotR is chiefly Nordic, not Celtic.

Shut the fuck up, nerd kid.

>>8239626

LOTR is British, inspired by Northern European myth generally.

Amélie Nothomb

Houellebecq is easy to read.

Also look at that Achilles culturally appropriating the blacks with his dreadlocks....tsk tsk

It's a bit of a misunderstanding, really. Homer had quite the...affinity, let's say, to honey-sweetened Chios wine in his later years. He wrote Aias as the son of one Telamon (he loved making up these ridiculous names). He then forgot about that, and also about making Aias this big, brawny bear kinda guy, and when he wrote the next scene he had Aias as a twink-like, weasly fellow, the son of Oileus ("the oily", further reference to his sneakiness and androgyny). He had greenlighted the proofs for the first two books and, by the time he realised his mistake and broke open his wine jugs in the donkeys' trough, it was all out in the latest issue of The Smyrnean, which serialized his stuff. He then resolved to make up for it by coming up with hundreds more ridiculous made-up names. It wasn't enough. After being thoroughly thrashed by the critics he gouged his eyes out in shame and begged to be exiled. Unable to write, he went on to inspire and develop a new style of "oral" poetry, a clear break from the rigidity of written text that had been the only medium of literature until then.

Every book is life-changing in a minute way if you REALLY read it, OP.

Revolutionary personal growth is the biggest meme in the universe and I'm not one of those people calling everything "memes" and "buzzwords". But, seriously, you identity (and thus also your perception of people and the world) changes at a pace so slow you are bound to perceive it as being always the same (otherwise we wouldn't have the notion of "identity" in the first place). Yet in retrospect it's possible to (hopefully without delusions) see how much you've grown.

Now I'll shut up and let some less theoretical fgts hit you up with some really dank books.

God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

"Take away the mask, and it will be extremely painful ... for you." - Oscar Wilde

Take away the mask for you?

He means that when a person believes they are cloaked by anonymity, they behave as their true selves. i.e. The difference between how a person behaves on Facebook compared to 4chan.

Nice try OP, everyone knows Nietzsche was Polish.

Thai people have the coolest names, IMO. E.g. the filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul
