Hi, I use a lot of sticky bookmarks, written with topics that interested me during the read depending of what I'm working on.

I don't take notes, I just try to absorb the experience and retain the important parts.

>sticky bookmarks

I started to use some months ago. They are good to mark quotes I like when I read literature, but when I'm reading philosohpy is like if I don't write down I will forget it soon.

Go back to the genre fiction containment thread and don't kill other threads with this shit.

this is like the least lit lit i've ever seen

Hiya! This is an automated post. We've noticed that you posted from an IP that frequently visits /v/, /mu/ and /r9k/. We would like to request kindly but aggressively that you go the back there.

Thank you!

"Red pill" is not appropriate /lit/ colloquialism.

>>8029036
/lit/ is homogenous and doesn't actually exist

And /btfo/ is just a basic /b/ meme.

Because: he boinked caddy, that stays between the family and it's his fault.
She boinked someone, on the other hand, and it's her fault.

Funny part is his father wouldn't have given a shit

Incest is the key element here.

OMG do really people read philosphy in English? What a joke

>>8028935
I have the first, but one needs at least a novice understanding of Plato, Aristotle, and Nietzsche to understand Heidegger, and that requires knowing Greek and German..

words

Probably Bildungsroman or an adventure story. Those have both become kind of clichéd in literature.

>>8028856
If I read one more book with words I'm gonna lose it.

Maybe it's a clever allusion to something?

Start The Brothers.

>>8028833
read The Idiot

>Not found any serious criticism on this
because it's not warranting serious criticism
the entire point of the book is how everything becomes more primitive as the landscape changes

>>8028770

Yes, I get that, I'm talking as much about his language choices, only the black characters (who never have names) are referred to in an explicitly animalistic fashion. Subservient cyclops and hippos and twisted muscular beats. Unless you think some aspect of primitive existence is that non-white people turn into beasts that doesn't mitigate it.

why do you assume racism is just a product of the times

Potentially. Been eying to buy this series the next time I go on my book purchases. My backlog has about 5 books in it so I won't need to buy anymore in a couple months. Have you read all the books OP? What do you feel it's more like in the genre fiction department?

Catullus

Have you figured out what literature you want to discuss yet?

This place used to be ok until it got infested by the intellectual cesspools of /pol/ and /mu/

>>8028695
>muh board used to be good until X happened

also, niggers.

Follow with Plato's dialogues.

>>8028578

Fuck off.

>>8028590

Any specific version/translation?

>>8028544
I know what you're insinuating, and I've been out of high school for almost 5 years.

>>8028539
“It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable.”
