The fedora meme was pushed here a lot a few years ago. It really belongs to tumblr now, to denote a certain type of (mostly made up) undesirable male who does anything nerdy or has any kind of pretensions or simply has any quality that's disliked by the person using the term. The term means nothing. Fuck off and read some literature instead of posting this vacuous garbage.

Stephen King looks like a skeleton. GRRM looks like he is not writing the goddamn book like the lazy fat fuck that he is.

>>8169998
Stephen King dresses like a ten-year old boy
GRRM looks like the manage of a Gamestop
Don't recognize the pedo in the center

Who do you think is the better scribbler, King or Grrm?

>>8169836
he inspired feminism and the SJW movement by his 'muh feels' """""philosophy"""""".

A cultural marxist if ever there was one.

>>8169836
If not accustomed to philosophy, then yes, it will be difficult and not worth your time.

>>8169836
Well, Foucault is an important philosopher, but if you're not an accusomted reader you should choose something less complicated I don't mean the greeks

the holy bible

You hate yourself, not others.

Get yourself together, anime faggot

Also, take this shit to /r9k/, you're on the literature board.

the idiot.

Because no one here has read him.

>>8169572
That doesn't usually stop us.

>>8169572
literally this. Trying to get this cucked continental board to discuss any significant analytic philosophers is like pulling teeth from their roots.

>>8169544
Christianity

The bible is cool, but buddhism is the right answer

>>8169561
Eh. Most of it is melodramatic and preachy. Hardly any of it except for Jeebus's speeches are at all poetic. Lots of boring history and dates and times.

>The book isn't in 1st person

I thought this was /literature /

yikes

You shouldn't post your fb like that, Molly might get Katie'd

desu, I read "How I Live Now" when I was a teenager and enjoyed it. It's strange, I read adult books and YA books at the same time until I was about sixteen or seventeen I guess. I read my first adult books at the age of 11 but at the same time I adored harry potter and wizard books. I got all hot under the collar reading about alien sex and narrowly averted rape but also got amped up over quidditch matches.

tl;dr those are all YA books go for it I guess you don't give a fuck I don't give a fuck

Aristotle fixed it immediately after.

They aren't even saying anything, just expressing some vague dissatisfaction proffered by the likes of Dawkins and other nu-atheists

I agree. It was good though.

Our generation's view of what is and isn't scary has changed tremendously over the last 50 years. Now imagine how scary it might have been to the people in Shelley's time.

Prolly Buddhism, in an indirect way.
Interdependance is prolly the closest thing to authentic love you will every find in an applicable philosophy.

That or Epicurian hedonism. But that shit has pitfalls left and right, if not done correctly.

In the end it's all the same, m8. Pick something and go from there. If it doesn't make you happy or at least more content, it's either bullshit or doesn't suit you.

And a quick personal advice:
Go from inward outward. Learn to love yourself and take care of yourself. Just trust me on this one. Don't skip yourself. Nothing good comes of it.

Could you elaborate?

my diary desu

The Orlando shooting, desu. They interviewed a mother who didn't know where her son was (obviously dead) and she couldn't hold it together. Why does it have to be like it do?

My daily shower.

That's where I do my crying.
