Stirnerfag, honestly, do you even know what a spook is? Death isn't. Dying is.

>>8154892
He's a Marx fan and hasn't read Stirner.

This guys trying to make fun of Stirner without knowing anything about him.

>>8154892
Death is not real because it can't be experienced.

Why do you retards love these threads so much?

Could you please delete yourself from life as well?

I'm glad Nietzsche still has the capability to so thoroughly piss off you positivists.

Nietzsche certainly was very tongue in cheek

I've been thinking of taking notes. Imy a slow reader but I still lose specific details and memorable passages a month or so after reading. Let's take notes together and meet up sometime, me and you. Would be nice.

Nah, I just read for pleasure anyway, it's not like I'm out to impress some anemic intellectual scene clinging desperately to the arse end of western society.

>>8154601
I don't think wanting to remember information about literature, because you feel like you can positively gain from it, is necessarily something connected to the desire to "impress some anemic intellectual scene." But, if that's an identity you're wrestling with, maybe keep it inside so you don't interfere with discussion/make people feel they are perceived as a projection of you just because of their desire to better themselves.

Non-fiction doesn't exist.

Even what you percieve as reality is fictionalized by your imperfect senses and faulty mortal reasoning.

No man has ever written a work of non-fiction.

non-fiction is a myth.

Oh fuck off, that's not profound

Nu-male cuckhold.

I haven't seen her for a long time. So long her defining feature may be not being there. Maybe my love would fade in her presence, like it has before. Back then I felt I didn't love her anymore. After she was gone I loved her twice for it the same way I still do.

Best thought of and seldom seen.

What is this image?

Depends on who you ask and why they read.

Some people will say anything older than 30 or 40 years is no longer relevant to modern life and therefore without value.

For me, time isn't even a variable in the equation of perception, and this is true for all forms of media. Nothing which interests me is related to or affected by time.

>>8154203
if i show the full image it will lose its mystery

The Thirty Years War by C.V. Wedgwood.
Is 500 pages nearly enough to cover that clusterfuck of a war? No, but still a great read.

>>8154177
You could try the ones that trace commodities over time. Or trade routes like the silk road.

Quinine by Fiammetta Rocco for instance traces malaria and its treatment from Rome as a papal state, through colonization in South American, and protestant rejection of the medicine through the Reformation as a Jesuit cure, up to Nazis trying to blockade it, and current medical treatment in Africa.

If you want something specific to Roman and medieval times, you might want to narrow down what kind of history you want.
Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is very good, for instance, but if you want a history of the early Republic, it's not going to do shit for you.

>>8154232
General history is okay to me.
Though I'm fairly interested in religions' involvements in transitioning the Roman times to medieval times, as well changes in society.
Books about the battles, famous war generals during both eras, crusades, the Black Death are also fine.

One paragra[h at a time to not hit word limits. here we go. (It's not great.)
Anna reclined peacefully in her chair, curled up with a book for a relaxing day of from work. Her black hair was unbrushed for her lazy day. It lay haphazardly over her shoulders and across her back. Her dainty hand turned a page in the small novel. The house was quiet and calm.
Suddenly, Anna felt a cold chill come over her. She instinctively tried to shake it off, but the chill was still there. So she got up and walked toward her thermostat to adjust it. When she had walked three steps away, she no longer felt the chill. She thought it odd, but checked the thermostat regardless. It still read seventy-four degrees Fahrenheit, so the thermometer in the thermostat hadn't detected the change in temperature. Anna shrugged it off and sat back down.

>>8154434
After a moment, the chill returned. Anna tried getting up and walking away again. Once more, the chill was gone with distance. “Must be a draft from somewhere,” Anna dismissed. She took her book to her kitchen and sat at her counter to read with a glass of water.
About half an hour passed before the same chill returned. Anna was worried now. She went to check the thermostat again, not stopping when the chill stopped again, and saw that, yes, the temperature was steadily seventy-four and the air conditioner was not active. Anna thought she had been too stressed at work, so she attributed the strange phenomena as her tired mind playing tricks. “You win,” Anna conceded aloud, and she grabbed her book to return to bed. Sleep came quickly.

>>8154436
The next day went without incident. Anna went back to work at the bank and came home after her shift. It was rather uneventful, all things told. When she got home, she smiled at the thought of successfully relieving herself of all that pent-up stress.
However, while preparing dinner, Anna felt the same chill come over her again. As an experiment, she tried to walk to the other side of the kitchen and back. After a few steps, the chill was gone and by the time she returned to her original position it was gone from there as well. She got back to preparations and ignored the chill when it came back this time.
When she put dinner in the oven, she realized the chill was only getting worse after twenty minutes. With a huff, she walked into the living room, and her eyes widened when she realized the chill now followed her. She walked slowly, desperately to the thermostat, hoping she could just turn up the heat and make it all better. When she got close to the thermostat, however, the chill was gone immediately, and she read it anyway: seventy four degrees.

Not really, but i only learned english so far.
I want to learn german but i really cant find an use for it, and japanese is too much of a weeabo thing to do.

I managed to learn French and German so far, and I consider myself perfectly fluent by now. I speak both regularly when working, and both are similar to English so it was quite easy to study. I'm currently learning Japanese and I have much more trouble. I barely speak it although I have been working on it for three years, and I cannot find opportunities to practice it. I'm considering asking to shift to our Tokyo branch. I've been speaking German and French for approximately ten years.

Learning other languages is literally cuckolding. Use your national language and don't fall for globalist Jew tricks

Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Schopenhauer, Heidegger, Nietzsche, Wittgenstein. I'm Catholic so I disagree with a lot of what Schopenhauer has said on Christianity but some of his aphorisms has influenced me like in picture and he encouraged me to read Upanishads. Plato is who I started with in philosophy (The Republic) so I have some nostalgia for him. I agree with Nietzsche's point on Christianity because his attack is on a Christianity that I dislike as well.

>I'm Catholic

Ironically, or what?

>>8153934

We could narrow your list down to Schopenhauer/Heidegger/Nietzsche/Wittgenstein.

It's weird how right-wing this place has become.
