you're supposed to read it at 2:30am after years of existential angst turning into bitter cynicism have softened into a numb indifference

if you are a normie you have no chance

It's probably biased and inaccurate towards a positive portrayal of American history.

Anyone ever notice how many threads we have of OP buying a book and then asking our opinion on it, without having read it yet? What goes through the brains of people like this? Wouldn't it make more sense to ask before buying?

Or how about actually reading the damn thing, and then make a thread what you thought of it, and ask for opinions?

I don't get these dumb threads.

It's called bait. It is meant to incite, notice the context and content of these threads. It's always similar, if you get my meaning.

He was fat.

His son was a tranny.

His complete short stories, Finca Vigía Edition, is one of my favorite books.

>philosophical fiction
Fiction with a philosophical theme

I liked Nausea.

>>8115151
The Handmaiden's Tale.

Also keep your baiting threads to a minimum. We already have one Ann Coulter shitfest thread, we need not another one devolving into political screaming from people who haven't read anything past high school.

Conserve these threads one at a time, if not never, to decline the little posting quality left.

Read it, first of all.

Second of all fuck you. Did I say anything about feminism being wrong or did I try to start something by making an argument? No. I'm asking for recommendations to further my education on the subject, because it's an important topic, you sperg.

>Are there any other good books on intellectual history?
It's an entire vast field of study, OP. So... yes, there are.

If it takes "Freud the pseud" seriously, discard it.

Congrats on spouting baby's first intellectual opinion.

He'd say Nietzsche's a charlatan.

Pic related.

On a more serious note, they had a lot in common; Nietzsche clearly respected Schopenhauer. I don't think the former effectively rebuked the latter's pessimism, however.

Good try, though.

>>8115104

Superficially, they had a lot in common. Both had an autistic dislike of Nationalism/Patriotism, for example.

There was a big difference between their deeper tenets, however; Will to Live vs Will to Power, etc.

Most very successful people in the arts are narcissistic. Narcissists are also good at knowing that they're narcissists. If you can't handle being called a narcissist, then you probably aren't cut out to be an artist.

As a struggling artiste myself, I think you're a pussy queer and that Willie G was absolutely right about everything in this book.

I can't even finish this book. every time otto talks to someone they think he's gay or he plagiarized his play.

do they think he plagiarized it because it's good or because he quotes wyatt (who is usually quoting someone else)

>>8114997
being able to foresee the ending doesn't make a book good or bad any more than knowing what happens makes a movie good or bad

also, put TOTC in context. it was published as a partwork for a general audience, some of whom lived through the french revolution first hand.

also, dickens is awesome so fuck you, basically

His prose is shite as well

I'll often type in my phone memorable quotes as well as thoughts that occur to me in the midst of reading. I can be fairly forgetful, so it's nice to be able to hold on to ideas and feelings I might want to express later. But I don't often write down notes for the sake of bettering my comprehension or memory of a work, if that's what you're asking.

Great answer senpai. Great answer.

I think it exemplifies the bastardisation and commercialisation of Italian culture within American late capitalism.

The only time I went to the Olive Garden it was with my stepmother and her kids. She was this butch trailer trash lady who married into my dad's money. But she lost her looks really fast and became fat as fuck. Her arms were like hams. Somehow the discussion turned to how strong my dad was, because he had been fixing some kind of enclosure for the garbage cans and sweating it out a bit earlier that week, and for some reason, my stepmom slammed her elbow down on the table in an arm-wrestler pose and said "I can take your father any day!" I guess trying to show off her muscle but really it was just this fat pale ham arm. Any time I try to fuck really trashy chubby girls, I think of that night, and I can't do it. I hope she's dead now.

yeah, because the world needs another shitty romance novel

>>8114775
Thanks.

don't consider writing until you have a creative urge to write something. If you have nothing to write, don't write. Read, watch movies, listen to interviews, fuel yourself until something starts to come out more or less fully formed.

Stop shoehorning this basic tumblr teen.
