Unless you're studying for your entrance to the Party, not really.

Whatever stereotype you have in your head about it is probably true.

Absolutely changed my life. Proud to call myself a National Socialist these days. It makes you wonder why this isn't mandatory reading in schools today, but Hitler nicely points out how Jews are interested in subversion rather than deal with facts. I recommend it to all my friends, and they've all taken the redpill

I can't even tell what's going on here, is that Gene Hackman?

No, it's Lingchi. Don't know if this one shows it a little bit better.

Write a paragraph right now about the last book you listened to. That will show us if it "counted" for you.

>>9902244
I'm looking more for a general consensus on the credibility of audibooks vs. reading.

>>9902232
It depends on how much attention you paid.
>does it not count?
The fact that you are even asking this shows you value having read books more than having understood and enjoyed books. So no, it probably doesn't count, because you were probably driving or working while listening, and misunderstanding, trying to get through it as quickly as possible just to check off another book on goodreads.

to-morrow...

>the rimy black man should get one because the folksy jew got one

the guys he stole from: melville, faulkner, hemingway

>>9901886
Hm. He's pretty unique. But Faulkner, Melville, and the Old Testament should quench your thirst (in reverse order of course).

>>9901891
>melville, faulkner
yes

>hemingway
no

You could also try Flannery O'Connor if you like his Appalachian works.

There's also an obscure book titled The Bible which McCarthy makes a lot of esoteric references to throughout his works.

>>9901646
Yes.

>The didactic tone was nearly identical to a parent scolding a child, nauseating.
Get used to this.
But overall, yes. He is worth reading. There is a reason he is highly regarded. He was a real jerk but he had a lot of interesting ideas.

You lost me when your differentiations went beyond good and evil.

Slytherin isn't for the evil, it is for the ambitious. Slughorn and Snape were heads of Slytherin House, and both were excellent fellows. They may have been a bit discriminating in their praise, but they were hardly unfair. Their personal drive for excellence is what made them powerful, and demanding of their students. Like stern parents would be.

How power is used defines "evil." The Malfoys and especially Voldemort were characterized as evil by their actions, not their traits. Voldemort was not born evil. In fact, he allowed his misanthropy to make him into what he became. Avoiding that fate is the ultimate lesson of Hogwarts, or any parent for their child. Remember that Harry, like Tom, was an orphan adopted by Dumbledore.

>>9901524
Hufflepuff is a tragically mistreated house anyway. It's not "miscellaneous" as far as I remember, it's for people who are loyal and dedicated, above all, to their friends. You know what people do for their friends? Murder.

Gryffindor pro: Brave con:vindictive
Slytherin pro: Ambitious con:cruel
Ravenclaw pro:intelligent con:arrogant
Hufflepuff pro: dedicated con: obsessive

I think the only real pleasure still available in life is the aesthetic pleasure one receives from seeing a beautiful nude female.

>>9901293
>I am who I think you think I am.

You can't read minds.
You can't infer thoughts.
You can't give yourself your own narrative from another perspective.
Slow down.
Deep breath.

Do not think.
Do not slip from your eyes.
Do not withdraw inside.

Do.
Ask.
Question;
do not assume.
Do not pause,
only resume.

Where one mind lies,
all lie; and all lie.
Do not listen,
speak. Do not think,
speak admission.

You aren't a pessimist,
neither an optimist.
You are one or the other,
but don't love yourself.

Too accept is to step
to stone life set in stone.
Die as who you are
and not who you think.

No he's literally a reddit immigrant

I don't see how anyone aside from extreme nihilists, anti-natalists, and supreme tech junkies might even be able to consider this man "their guy".

>>9900873
I think it's pretty clear he has more respect for 4chan than reddit. I don't think he uses either but he has praised /pol/ and follows people on twitter whose accounts are dedicated to making fun of reddit humor.

>>9900525
there's erich kästners "fabian", which is breddy good imo. Kästner is famous mostly for his childrens books here in Germany, but this one is aimed at an adult readership and, frankly, i liked it.
Bear in mind that the same book was also published under the title "Der Gang vor die Hunde". ALso, i have no idea if there are any translations.

>>9900546
I don't really like Kästner. He wrote shit like "Die Verlobung von Santo Domingo" and I rather read something factual from a historian than a fiction with massiv ideological glasses.

>>9900554
you won't find anything on weimar that is not ideologically tainted in one way or the other.

welcome to the w a t e r kiddo

Reddit writing prompts! They're fun and get you in the flow. Make anonymous reddit accounts and just whip some off. Get in the habit of writing this way. It helps you figure out a flow pace and find your voice.

you keep writing. simple, but difficult. if you wait for inspiration you will never achieve what you'd like to. do it.

Kant did a good one. Nietzsche did a good one on both he and Kant. Heidegger did a good one on all three.

It's a shame he was drowned out by retarded philistine englishmen and americans misinterpreting him for so long
