Neither, it's a very sincere novel about the state of the internet around 9/11.

What about all the neoliberal terrorism and all the Bush did 9/11 implications?

Don Quixote.

Catcher in the Rye

I really fucking HATE george w bush and i wish that fucker would GO TO HELLLL ALREADY!!!!!!!!

Well, no conservative would read Finnegans Wake, so it stands to reason a liberal like yourself would get something from Bushisms.

It's existentialist, philosophical, fragmented. It's life-affirming. Something to read and re-read for an entire life.

Goodbye, OP.

comic books

It was a serious question. I find it hard to believe that anyone with a job or in school has time to read an entire book everyday.

This desu. You could spend a life on Plato alone.

What are your interests? You could hop straight to Descartes or Hume if you will. Maybe you'd enjoy reading some Romans, such as the Stoics or Lucretius. The Platonists are another option, as are the philosophers of Christianity.

2. After TLP and PI, is there anywhere left to go with Wittgenstein? I hear he has other posthumous works but not sure which editions are authoritative. Any help?

3. Which is the best abridged version of Summa Theologica? Or is it necessary to read all of it. I'm not that interested in early theology but would like to know about its influence.

Just make it about a beam from outer space hitting the earth, giving all metal the properties of rubber, leading to countless deaths at amusement parks. That's what I usually do.

It seemed to be the perfect temperature, or rather no temperature at all. Everything seemed exactly where it should be; Except for the people. People dream their whole life, and no, I do not mean their ambitions. I mean that state of mind you enter everytime you feel like you've had enough for the day. Quickly fading out and then back into existence. Only to find yourself laying in the same room you have been for--what feels like seconds, but seconds are just what you feel. Others can change seconds into hours, days, and even weeks. To take this time for granted is obsolete. It is not by choice that we forget, but rather the will of our memory.

The roads were empty, and a soft, nostalgic tone filled the air around me, like a bathtub I could not escape. This was suburbia. Usually filled with the sounds of chatter, cars speeding by, and oddly enough, nature. This time it was silent. One thing seemed off about my quaint little house. The same house I had lived in for 5 years. Another sat next to it of a different variety than normal. I questioned this houses existence due to everything else seeming so perfect. The house was a bright blue, and reached a third floor. Realising that I had already drifted to sleep I shrugged it off. Having seen stranger things in this land I began my journey towards the highschool I experienced most of my teenage years at.

That's not what he said at all. He didn't say not to use words, but to use the carefully, and in accordance with what your truly believe, to not be deceptive.

You can talk about what your breakfast tasted like.
You can't talk about the afterlife.
That's as plain as I can put it for a retard like you.

>>8075117
'Gee, I wonder what the afterlife is like'
