You don't understand subvocalization.

Reading without imagining the sounds ISN'T subvocalization.

Reading whilst imagining the sounds IS. I imagine you saw the word 'subvocalization' and thought it was something to do with suppressing the sounds/vocalization.

It's not a meme it works. You can't sub vocalize everything. But think of it like higher gears in a car, you only down shift when you need to etc

Pynchon is almost certainly my favorite writer, because what I enjoy most in books are goofs, gags, jokes, pranks, and rambunctious behavior, and his novels are full to the brim (so to speak) with these. Every novel somewhat resembles one of those novelty snake-cans: you open the book --- and POP! your face is instantly bombarded by rubber snakes, and you fall back to the floor, cackling. "The mad mind!" you think, "The genius, to do it!" and then you think, "Hm, what will he do next, this trickster?" And you pick the book back up from where you dropped it upon the floor after being besieged by the heinously hilarious rubber snakes and --- BZZZZZZZ! You get a shock! Hahahaha! You've been pranked by the old "Pynch-meister" (as they used to say in Uni), that "card"! "Did that pinch?" he asks, chortling childishly and excessively. Observe him carefully in his state of nature as he inserts a pair of plastic "buck-teeth" into his mouth and politely displays them to you. "Do you like these?" he charismatically asks you, eyes a-twinkling. "Do I look handsome?" He pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" and he places a hand to his naughty mouth, and you have fell to the floor with laughter again as he snaps his suspenders and exits stage-right, then appears again, hauling a large and golden gong.

Peter and the Wolf is a masterpiece of music and I cannot stop listening to it. I literally listen to this piece for hours straight and even handbang to the cat's clarinet.

I started reading the first in the series because of the memery on /sffg/ and some interesting snippets I read on the wiki.
Personally, I don't recommend it. The sex is far far more outrageous than I could have imagined. GRI isn't just a joke, and it isn't a rare occurrence. So far everything relating to the holy war is a carbon copy of the first and third crusade altered slightly. Literally everyone is an abominable monster. Everyone hates everyone. The philosophy and the creepy monsters, the two things that attracted me to this series in the first place, are pushed to the periphery for the sake of backstabbing and fucking. I haven't read Prince of Thorns, but I can't imagine it being edgier than this.
What I've read so far will be useful for shitposting but I would not suggest investing your time into it.

What's intellectual about them?

>Kellhus exhibits incredible powers of prediction and persuasion, which are derived from deep knowledge of rationality, cognitive biases, and causality, as discovered by the Dûnyain, a secret monastic sect.
>The key feature distinguishing the Prince of Nothing series from its contemporaries is the importance of philosophy to the work. The plot, characters, setting, and metaphysics of the Prince of Nothing are intertwined with philosophical positions unique to the series.

Could you provide an example of a strong argument for a claim of your choice?

Why do some people still believe in the existence of "existence"?

Are there any strong arguments in support of its existence?

Have you ever read from something with e-ink? It's nothing like reading from a phone.

There is no "self" to do any of this.

For years, the publisher of this book had allowed this book to feature a gorilla on the cover, even though it was about space bears. Clearly the guy wasn't getting paid much to redo it.
