i don't believe there was a single thought in the book, no.

shit translation

>>8183056
Could I read the original with 2 years of French down my belt?

That depends. I assume it helps train you to continue during pauses in thought. But going back and changing things must be a bitch. I usually jump around during a session, change one thing and it causes changes to other things, almost like coding.

I think you are, though.

If you properly train Dragon on words you don't articulate well or words that belong in an exclusive vocabulary base then it's well worth the money.
After spending about 4 hours training Dragon it doesn't make any errors when I dictate to it anymore.

>well fucking worth it
>pic related

i hope not. if it was, whoever is laughing is a real sick fuck.

what did he mean by this

>>8182984
Life is a strictly for the lulz endeavour but it's often dangerously short on lulz.

As far as I can understand it, the author is trying to say that most leaders prefer to place their trust with a handful of competent individuals rather than a large group of people that don't know what they're doing to accomplish a task.

The wording is very awkward, but (along with reading the last part of the sentence that you've omitted) it sounds to me that he's implying that the only thing stopping a person with large aspirations that requires the help of many is the willingness of that many to put forth the effort to actually accomplish a task. Laziness is a disease worse than a muscle illness.

I see, thank you for your insight Anon.

>>8182461
No, idiotism.

Also, top tier book, I have no idea why so few people have read it.

I've had this book on my shelf for so long. I really should read it some day.

>>8182588
I allways imagined that he was just pretending.
I am pretty sure that's what the author was going for.

maybe if you post more cute pictures

Her vagina was much
deeper than I thought it'd be
Only words she knew were
Japanese song lyrics
translated by shiftless fats
Wished my tongue could reach her bike horn.

haha if we can appreciate sleeping with heavier set women, dig it.

Stalagmatic stalemate

A mixup messup
In the banana store
Slime, shame, stone
The madness of a criminal
With nothing to lose, and nothing to gain
Public nuisance number one
I ripped off a man's nipple with my teeth

What are you trying to say

Pynchons my fav writer for sure because my fav thing in books is goofs, gags, jokes and rambunctious behavior, and his books are full to the brim of it. Every novel is like one of those novelty snake cans, you open the book & POP you get a face fulla snakes and you fall back cackling. The mad mind, the crack genius, to do it! and then you think hmmm whats he gonna do next, this trickster, and you pick the book back up and BZZZZZZZZZZ you get a shock and Hahahahahah you've been pranked again by the old pynchmeister, that card. "Did that Pynch?" he says, laughing yukyukyukyuk. Watch him as he shoves a pair of plastic buck teeth right up into his mouth and displays em for you- left, right, center- "you like dese? Do i look handsome???" Pulls out a mirror. "Ah!" Hand to naughty mouth. And you're on your ass again laughing as he snaps his suspenders, exits stage right, and appears again hauling a huge golden gong.

>>8182408
this is one of my favorites.

Yes. It's Steinbeck's best novel imo. The Bible parallels are pretty heavy handed, but Edith is an interesting character. Has some very notable scenes. It's also easy to read and won't take much time despite the length.

>>8182356
hey I never read the Bible and I ever will. can u tell me what bible bits to know.

>>8182375
Not the one you're responding to, but Cain and Abel.

East of Eden really is a phenomenal book.

>he actually reads don dellilo

I've only read And Then There Were None and since then i decided i will stop reading Agatha since her writing just Bores me and all her riddles require Devil's proof or Schrodingers cat to actually work.

Non-fiction only.

Dublin looks like towns in video games from the 90s where everything is 6 feet away from everything else

I want to play Thief now

>Dublin in Winter

Southside is breddy comfy in Winter if it snows, generally it just rains though

Temple Bar (in the pic) is the opposite of comfy, it's a quarantine zone for British stag parties

Get him a pair of balls.

>>8182038
He already has a lot of balls. Like, hundreds. He's obsessed with baseball.

>having a gf

Your bf is a retard just buy whatever.

You got me. There's no way to prove that it's all a load of bullshit.

You should dedicate your life to it.
