>what is objectively wrong
>from your subjective position

What's it called when it's a small guy like that? What's the name of the disease or condition or whatever? It's hilarious.

it's shit

>>8157834
You're a weirdo.

Go back to /r9k/

What's his connection to handicapped people? Why does he care about them? Why does he decide to do it? Did his emotional crippling lead him down this path, or was it arbitrary (his choice to go after handicapped people)?

Why do you want to bring God into it? Does it have to do with his emotional crippling?

Does amputation really take little away from women? Like your image, arms perhaps don't take away much; however, personally, if it were her legs being gone I would find her less attractive.

Perhaps explore your own fetish. Does it have a limit? What drives it, if anything?

Keep going, OP. Don't mind the haters. Write what you want to write.

At some point the books won't fit on the shelves anymore

>>8157655
The books are all exactly 401 pages, which leads me to believe that they're all split up into different volumes.

>>8157658
410* pages, sorry

>>8157634
Turn off your internet.
Easier if you've got a desktop, just unplug ethernet and throw it to the other side of the room. The urge to browse /lit/ is compulsive and thoughtless. By adding any degree of difficulty, you force yourself to think about what you're doing and realize that it's not what you should be doing.
Don't be afraid to stop writing for a minute or two and think if you feel you need to though

>No time for reading

typical/lit/ "writer" lmao

work with a pomodoro timer

25 minute bursts, 5 min breaks

changed my life

I'm asking seriously.
I'm 100 pages in and so far every chapter is just frivolous dialogue that's centered around the (non)characters making witty ripostes at each other. At times it reads like a disjointed come-back manual.
It's exactly as though an autist sat down and ran a script on how he thinks conversations should go.

The only way it could be impressive is if you are memed as fuck and fascinated by bombastic Briticisms. There's zero substance.

>>8157643
At least you seem to be impressed by the wit of Austen. That's something.

>>8157620
His answer to the antinomy does not resolve the problem at all. Well noticed (even though it is absolutely silly that the problem is so little mentioned among readers). It is a notorious problem in his philosophy, for which Schopenhauer offered no more than a pseudo-solution (the one you mentioned).

>>8157848
Has anyone else (Nietzsche?) proposed a solution without changing the whole system?

>>8158282
There is no satisfactory solution except for modifying Schopenhauer's conception of the world as will, for it remains inconceivable that something could come into existence out of a world devoid of time, space, matter and causality (i.e. the world as will). Nietzsche is in fact one of the earliest to acknowledge the problem: http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521855846&ss=exc (point 4).

I buy some books, I lend some books, I pirate some books, I borrow some books

Look at me! I'm average!

How much do you guys spend on books per month?

>>8157610
10 euros a month for two books in used condition from amazon mostly

>>8157598
>reading degenerate liberals

Try Mein Kampf instead.

Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72

I think the rest didn't impress me that much

>>8157598
You grow up and stop reading Thompson.

>>8157586
Greatest author of all time?

Really, kid?

Heh. Stick around here for a while and you'll soon figure out that you've been brainwashed by the liberal media gay agenda machine.

REAL intellectuals read the greatest ACTUAL authors, not trash like Rowling. I'm thinking, of course, of the likes of David Foster Wallace, Thomas Pynchon, and Gass.

>>8157591
not funny.

>>8157593
Whereas calling Rowling the GOAT is absolutely hysterical

The Beetle Leg

>>8157489
I only know of fantasy, in which I would recommend the following works
Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser
Conan
John Carter (Princes of Mars)

Pop. 1280

Everything from Jim Thompson is amazing crime noir pulp, you'd have to read him in small doses because he uses the same themes over and over.

>>8157485
it's written like 600 years past homer

>>8157492
Oh.
.
I was thinking about the plot when I talked about being older than the greeks.

Jason

Hercules

That guy who hercules liked

The son of that king

>antinatalism

>>8157342
OP was evoking, I assume, the Book of Disquiet, so you can direct your edgy rash wail at that to begin with. Also, there actually isn't all that much antinatalism to Cioran (or any at all, even, if we're talking true sentiment).

>>8157234

I mentioned structure. This one is official like threads on other boards. I'm also not samefag.

Here, let me start

"fanning water on both sides"

my new expensive bicycle
completely unbecoming of me
is not meant for the craggy roads of this city
though it claims to be a "mountain bike"
hardtail, 21 gears (shorthand for 7x3,
though i would hardly know what that means
dipped in the filthy vapours suffusing this urban lung),
a titanium skeleton as sleek as an ocean liner.
when i pedal el poderoso through the undulating
wavy asphalt streets that line this rancid metropoliced hub,
my heart hops on every slippery slide, each jerk and skid,
each strangling strain on the wheels as i make a hairpin bend
fit to snap right down the middle.
yesternoon it rained and i found a microscopic honeycomb
growing off the plastic of my smoothly-hewn mudguards:
a present from mumbadevi for being born in her boggy
womb. my feet seemed dipped in ice, frozen nerves,
the skin perspiring dilute acid as i pedaled faster
than i should have over the slick cobbled lanes,
the rocks and stones and bits of road chipped off,
gnawed off by cats and hounds pissing over
the tiny clumps of grass that timidly sprout from spores
buried underfoot, then
the sonorous almighty nasal rumble
of rubber rolling over a metal drum embedded
in the ground. then the swerving, the shifting of weight
as we weave between cars many kilometres travelled to meet
here amidst a trumpet band from pandaemonium,
between men and women letting down their stringy hair,
the mask of water on their faces deepening the reds,
the sensuous browns of their pupils, and they stand back
and watch my bicycle chain pull us down the river and home.
