Anyone got any literature related to depersonalisation disorder?
I read nausea and it seemed pretty plausible that
rocquentin had it
Anyone here got it? I'm sick of it, I think I'd rather be dead but too much of a puss to stab self

I have a pretty bad case of it. It's one of the most irritating things in the entire world, because it's almost impossible to relate with other people. With depression, at least people can somewhat understand what you're talking about, and the idea of depression has been memed enough so that people realize how shitty it can be..but with depersonalization, no one really gives a shit.

I know what you mean. Everyone except close friend whose had experience with it is dismissive of it. I can't concentrate on anything and I have to stare at simple things like 'remove card now' when paying for something for like 3-5 seconds before it converts to any sort of appliance meaning. Or at least I used to, now it's automatic even though I'm never quite sure I'm doing the right thing.
It's a pain in the fucking ass. People inspire me with as much emotion and empathy as the npc's in gta

This might be an obscure thing, but I must ask anyway. Do any other anons here, when disgusted by the rest of the covers for a book, design the cover for and typeset a version yourself and get it printed? I did this for Finnegans Wake. I thought all the existing editions for the book were shit, so I made my own. After I read it, I sold it on eBay as a rare book for ten times what it cost to produce.
Anyone else do this?

i bought it hoping to find the ideas behind the man, what I got was a lot of detail on landscapes and a flamboyant display of himself.
Gotta chose and read a book considered literary merit by the college board. recommendations (short one please). Ive read: Hamlet, Oedipus, Antigone, Candide, The Metamorphosis, Native Son, Old Man and The Sea, and Waiting For Godot.

What's /lit/'s opinion on Hunter S. Thompson? Particularly his Fear and Loathing series? Where to go after reading ...in Las Vegas and Hell's Angels? Because that's all I've read by him, plus The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved. But that's it. What should I read next by him, /lit/?

Because 'the face' can pull you bitches while you are young, but being a patrician gets you bitches always, and some of them actually have money, not just teenagers.

How do you guys decide what to read next? I've purchased around 100+ books at this point, but I've only completed six in the span of 2 months. Out of the six, four were light novels that have 15+ entries, so I never know whether to continue reading the series until completion or to start anew...

Why do you buy 100 books in the first place? How many of them are lit approved?
>>
>>8009439
Where I live we have a shelf filled with books. I've seen most of these books around the house growing up so I know them at least by name. I usually chose books by, in this order
>author
>recommendations
>title
>heard it mentioned on /lit/
Of course the size and general aspect of the book have an influence on my choice.
I like choosing books because I spend a lot time on each one.
also, this>>8009502, did you buy a wheelbarrow of books? How did you chose them in the store?

>While art and music will be widely practised and taught, heavy or bulky equipment and buildings specifically devoted to the practice of the arts will be abolished. In the literary field, the ministry of education will grant permissions to print only fictional and non-fictional works of high quality: trashy novels will vanish. The inherited capital of public and private libraries will be carefully managed. Afternoon newspapers and pulp literature will be abolished.

There's no way to decide objectively what's high quality and what the population wants.

But I am, sort of.

>>8009270
Every work written before the printing press shall be excused from this treatment. That already cuts down on the number of books that are to be abolished.
