caffeine and lean are the only drugs i can read on. I can't even read hungover much less while still drunk.

>>8128484
I enjoy reading when I'm drunk, but I don't remember anything about it the next day. So just some tea and a couple of biscuits to crumble lovingly between the pages will do me just fine.

Probably because Americans are paranoid about the government, though the tactics of control used by the Party would work just as well on them.

it's their fantasy of what europe is like, that takes their mind off the fact that it is actually what america is like

Most people don't have any fucking clue who DFW is, so it'll probably go unnoticed. Actually, it will go unnoticed, because nobody's going to read it anyway.

>>8128429
DFW didn't invent footnotes

Those people are not philosophers. They are pseudo-intellectual nonsense-peddlers.

redpilled analytic philosopher and STEM student here.

Don't read this cuckolded effeminate illogical unfalsifiable nonsense.

It's all about muh feels and hence appeals mainly to women and liberals.

Take the redpill and see the dark side of Enlightenment, the truth of the human condition: the Truth that leftists don't want you to hear.

Stop what you're doing right now, go pick up some rational and logical male thinkers and you will come to thank me eventually. Right now you are brainwashed, but you can achieve the clarity and the capital-T Truth that the redpill stands for. You can be an intellectual like me.

Deus fucking Vult

greentext is the final form of literature.

Gandalf literally explains why he gives no fucks as soon as the hobbits ask him why Tom cant help. Not only is he basically a shadow of earlier magic made manifest, but he has no omnipotent powers outside his own wood, AND he cant really conceive of the outside world anymore since he is infinitely ancient.

>>8128123
Tom is a physical manifestation of middle-earth. But since he's so old he doesn't have perspective on the happenings of the Third age. So yeah, in a way, he doesn't give a fuck.

I think also from a thematic perspective, if Tom is to represent childhood lore and fairytales (his character I believe is drawn from an old doll Tolkien had as a boy), then he cannot be allowed to interfere in the happenings of the ring. Part of the hobbits' maturation is to leave Tom's realm behind and journey into the unknown, taking with them the warm memories of their stay. This both allows them a chance to prove their character and raises the stakes of the quest. But this is all just my opinion.

On another note, I am currently reading Fellowship for the second time (first time was as a kid, so a lot went over my head). Have just left the Khazad-dum. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

>>8128735
Correction, the doll did not belong to Tolkien but to his son.

Also found this. Tom is obviously the Witch-King of Angmar.

>he believes inherent meaning and value exists

>>8128019
no i want to make my own meaning, i just want to get better at it by learning from example.

That only comes from reading all the books

It's New Sincerity, aka Post-Postmodernism, the future of literature.

>>8127881
Hopefully not and no
>>8127913
Also no.

The arts have advanced to metamodernism--an attempt to reconcile modernism and postmodernism (whatever that may be)

i'm about 220 pages in after 2 weeks of reading it and the more i read the less i understand anything. maybe i should've started with V. or CLo49.

>>8127871
It took me a month or two. Read Ulysses next if you haven't already, that's what I did.

>>8127888
V is Very understandable.
