What is "All Fiction Ever"?

>>8135803
Would you say that something like Don Quixote or other literature is also like this just because it's fiction ?
Because that's false
It's only genre fiction

>>8135493
Quite good. Lulu is amazing though.

I know this is slightly off topic, but could anyone rec me some Romanian literature? Poetry/novels/philosophy/whatever I don't mind

>>8135685
I haven't read much Romanian literature, but Emil Cioran, Mircea Eliade and maybe Paul Celan (although he wrote in German mostly) come to my mind.

daily reminder that you have to read it in french

Just got them half an hour ago, I'll start reading on it tonight.
I've seen people complain about it being difficult or 'boring', but that were mostly people who only read YA or chicklits otherwise.
It seems to deal a lot with inner monologues and stuff, but if you're remotely well read, that shouldn't be anything new.

yes

Why?

Intelligent people overwork themselves quickly to the point where they're disabled and can't work anymore. Then, they are granted neet-dom by their benevolent governmental social services program.

All memery aside, DFW wrote some quite interesting essays that are worth a read IMO.

Read Harpers and the New Yorker and related publications for that type of shit. Don't listen to pseuds who say Hunter S. Thompson because that dude was a meme author who apparently plagiarized his quotables (I just discovered this first hand). His writing is tedious and boring as fuck in his professional journalistic pieces. I would recommend Wallace Thurman from previous readings and of course any of the modern classics, like Arthur Miller, etc. But, I'm not extremely well read, though I've been through a share of classics and some obscure titles.

This is something I had to read as an undergraduate and it opens your mind up to a lot, including post-modern dialogue: http://innovate.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Winner-Do-Artifacts-Have-Politics-1980.pdf

Beauty has nothing to do with "top notch" journalism.

>Doritos, light of my life, cheese on my fingers. My hunger, my munchies. Do-ree-toes: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Do. Ree. Tos. It was chips, plain chips, during lunch, weighing one-point-eight ounces in one hand. It was Cheesy Nacho for snacks. It was Cooler Ranch at school. It was Salsa Verde in the shopping line. But in my mouth it was always Doritos

it is natural for men like you to crave the validation of their existence and get depressed if they fail to feel relevant, responsible.
The best way for a man to cater his need for approval is to serve some woman (and some of her children) through emotional&financial support.
Men are pleased to contribute to someone else life, to support their family.

Why women are a good way to feel relevant? Because women love to be provided for and each woman will always find a man ready to please her.
[for most men, the best feeling of feeling real is when the girl moans from your cock in her pussy]

THe problem for men is that they are disposable in the eyes of each woman, since all men wish to serve the few women who talk to them.
Men must thus invent several ways to please women, invention and creativity which strengthen their feeling of being worthy, relevant, in touch with reality.
Men are too impotent to find other way to feel real.
Once that the a woman replaces a man by another provider, the man gets very upset and depressed.
THis leads men to think that they are better than women, stronger, smarter and that they must built a life outside women. Some men manage to indeed built an empire, but they will always loos it for some women.
Women give meaning to men and betas, no matter how successful outside women, will always give up everything for some relationship with some woman who claim to fancy them.

I would recommend autobiographies or memoirs to start with, which could allow you to connect with a real woman as opposed to a fictional one. Unfortunately I haven't read many myself so I don't know which ones to recommend. What sort of women would you like to get to know?

Remember that no matter how close to home some characters can hit, in the end they are still fictional characters. Not many people are as interesting as the one's we find in books. If you'd like to get to know irl women more, your best bet is to talk to them. If you want to talk to them about books they might have read, any list of famous women authors could point you in the right direction. Thank you for your service and good luck, anon!

Margaret Atwood writes engaging, accessible fiction with a focus on women. She might be a good place to start.

>The Jew is immunized against all dangers: one may call him a scoundrel, parasite, swindler, profiteer, it all runs off him like water off a raincoat. But call him a Jew and you will be astonished at how he recoils, how injured he is, how he suddenly shrinks back: “I’ve been found out.”

disregard your irony the cosmological argument is still pretty strong, he didn't invent it though, it all stems from the greeks

Because they don't realise that they run on faith too, it's placed on science instead of the absolute

>>8134480
>Because they don't realise that they run on faith
wut

certainly they are not scientific because they cannot be proven (quite a lot of the most interesting things cannot be proven and can be only gussed) but it doesn't mean they are based on faith, it's sound philosophical speculations

Give Butcher's Crossing a shot.

You might like reading nonfiction about the polar expeditions too. Nature doesn't get much more brutal than Antarctica.

Don't fall for the memes about reading in translation, it's perfectly fine if you aren't an autist.
Of course, it's worth researching which translations are best for a given work.

obviously Moby Dick

Man, Dostoevsky really needed an editor. He needs to learn about paragraph breaks.

Good, but not as good. Definitely better than Bleeding Edge, The Crying of Lot 49, Inherent Vice, and Vineland.
