Here you go. My notes on Hegel and his thing about the Death of Art.
Your handwriting is exceedingly neat OP.

There's already a handwriting thread somewhere around here, op. You blew it.

What are the best of the best books to learn about any and all mythology and folklore? Abrahamic stuff counts, too.
I want to learn everything for a universe I'm making in my spare time.
Folklore is anything from regular classic folklore to other stuff like Springheeled Jack, 20th century alien stuff, ghost stories (Bloody Mary), conspiracy theories, etc.

I'm curious of perspectives outside of my own so, anxiety thread. Share your experiences.
Reason I ask is because I'm writing about self deprecative insecurity, and the resulting anxiety. Sometimes self consciousness can be crippling to the point that you narcissistically become obsessed with hating and analysing yourself. Typically, my social anxiety doesn't manifest in the midst of conversation (although it can), but rather in an aftermath of contemplation. If you've ever had a drunken stupor of introspection then you know the feeling.
Also any recommendations on books with themes of anxiety would be great.
Two great works on this kind of thing:

The problem is thinking.
It can't, therefore, be solved with thinking.
There are ways to control and stop thinking. You have to find them.It's called professional help.

Personally not looking for help, but I appreciate it. Just intrigued by anxiety and am curious about other people here opening up with their encounters with it in general.

Serious question:
How do you guys handle it personally when you receive harsh artistic/aesthetic criticism of your work? I want to put aside any debate about whether a particular work is good or not good. I'm more interested in what you do when you've created something which has strong resonance and is aesthetically poignant for you and someone who's opinion you respect trashes it?
How do we know if it is actually good or not? Is it good enough for it to just satisfy ourselves? If so what's the point in publishing?
I'm keen to just have a discussion about this. Has this happened to you before?

Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs are pretty good, the rest of the Hannibal series is shit. Just like the movies
>>
This is almost irrelevant and belongs on /tv/, but of the two films based on Red Dragon (book), Manhunter by far superior to Red Dragon (film)

Just watch the show "Hannibal" and read something else.

maybe you should get pissed off and say that shit is awful. or maybe she's a victim of sexual assault, and that's a common coping strategy. If you're uncomfortable, just sit down and say, yo this shit makes me feel weird and I don't like it. You shouldn't roll with what you're uncomfortable with.

fiction but two of the sexiest books on freudianism and female sexuality:
