>Listening to old out-dated fucks talking about shit in an under-developed language in comparison to today's.


Just because you're not pondering the meaning of life and existence, and actually write something decent, funny and relevant doesn't make you less of a thinker in any way.

If anything, it takes more balls to tackle today's problems, than regurgitating whatever an 18th century prick wrote.

Fuck you.

What time do you wake up/go to sleep?

Also, when you go to sleep, is it because you force yourself to as to meet a schedule, or is it because you are so tired that you cannot keep awake any longer

this information does not enrich me in any way trivia nerd.

More like Lope de Verga.

My vote is Faerun. I'm well aware Salvatore did not create this world. But the amount of books in the Forgotten Realms is staggering. Plus you can grab a D&D monster manual to look up pictures of the villains in any book. Love it.

In terms of sheer worldbuilding, Tolkien has never been topped. Robert E. Howard's Hyborian age is not really about the WORLD - his approach to geography, history and ethnography was that he simply threw in what he needed when he needed it, and didn't give a damn if it meshed with everything else or not. Would it be cool if Conan crossed a desert now? Fine, the next thing on the horizon is a desert. That's not to say that the stories are BAD, because they're quite good, but they're about different things.

Salvatore is just trash.

Another series that has a vast, detailed world that nevertheless feels very comfortable and familiar is Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. Though be warned, that series is VERY long, and there are books that are slow and kinda boring because very little plot development happens in them. It picks up toward the end, though.

Kokoro - Natsume Soseki
Love triangle. Ends in utter tragedy.

Love in the Time of Cholera is exactly what you're looking for, guarantee it.

Good one. I was going to suggest Lady Chatterley's Lover but yours is better.

Why force yourself to do anything.

Do what you enjoy.

Watch Alex Jones youtube videos and read his articles at prisonplanet,

>>8008253
Well the point is, I don't really enjoy anything. I just "do" things, and stay on my laptop rest of the day after I came back home from work.

That humans have a tendency to do things half-heartedly, and look for the easy solutions to thing, eg. escaping.

The teacher had become a maternal idol to the male student, and the student's Oedipal complex compels him to have symbolic sex with his symbolic mother. The student's attempts at enlightenment were hindered due to his neurosis, which induced severe paranoia regarding premature ejaculation. At the climax of his life, (his death, which was expected to still be a day away) he became enlightened, and thus symbolically prematurely climaxed.

This is a good recommendation, but should probably be preceded by something more introductory, like the author of that guide's intro to formal logic book, which I've heard good things about.
I also liked Barwise and Etchemendy's Language, Proof, and Logic.

Read a liberal tumblr post. They are educated, and you are not.

I'll start by posting one of my favorites who is pretty well known, Better than Food: Book Reviews. He tries to praise books he likes and convince others to read them.
