What do you guys think of these hardcovers?
the superior way of starting with literature? I mean it looks like it includes seminal works of literature and the design is superb.

The story and explanations surrounding Jesus can't really be believed by thinking people. Not literally.

>>8102966
It's just a fact. It makes no sense. Which is why most religious people resort to saying "it's not ours to understand" or some such nonsense. It simply can't be believed.

Was anyone here first bewitched by Schopenhauer's philosophy only to turn on him in favor of Nietzsche's philosophy but over time realize your initial judgment was correct and that Schopenhauer was the superior philosopher?

I'm looking for books that are debachery. Books that are disgusting and obscene, which make you feel rejuvenated and relaxed. I read a little bit of Story Of The Eye, I felt that rejuvenated free feeling. Also, Michael Gira's spoken word, but I have not read his book The Consumer. I wish that I could get that on paperback or something, but I can just read it on my kindle. I'm a disgusting man, I feel content in that equilibrium between disgust and self loathing, where there's just a nihilistic nothing matters sort of feeling, except for feeling your self loathing being dumped into your reflection off of the story.

I was thinking about reading cows, eden eden eden, the consumer, the painted bird. I want to know what you think though.

I started Perdido Street Station, having no idea what it was about. Maybe it was good, maybe it was shit like >>8102790 says, but that kind of out-there fantasy with weird creatures and such just isn't my cup of tea, so I stopped after a few chapters.

read perdido street station. thought it was pretty good.

read it again four years later, thought "wow, this is a mess, but it almost works"

read Embassyville, and thought "why is there not one single visual element to this book? who knows what the aliens even look like?"

I can't read Chinese but I'm going to assume it's something related to bajiquan or tai chi based on the cover.

Would you agree that the only way for sincerity to manifest itself in our current cultural climate is paradoxically masked as irony?

In other words, is post-irony the only way for new sincerity to flourish?

Hey /lit/, /ck/ here.

I've been researching different cultural cuisines, and decided I want to learn a little more about other cultures in general. Can you recommend me some reading that really gives you an authentic feel for what other cultures are like? How they behave, what their customs are, and just what their outlook on the world is in general?

I'm a rural American with fairly little experience of world culture, only been outside the country once, and almost everything I'm exposed to about other cultures has been filtered or told through someone with an American worldview. I'm just looking for authenticity, from a native author. Fiction or nonfiction, either way will explain lots about a culture and their outlook on things.
