I haven't seen one of those in a while.
We read poetry for each other.
English is not my mother tongue so I might have pronounced some words wrong, but here it is.

I like it. I'm sure you didn't plan for the birds chirping but it was a nice touch.
I had to record this on my iphone so don't turn the volume up too loud.

I don't have the confidence to read poetry.
I like your accent, it adds a dramatic effect to your reading.
I'm going to fall for the meme and start reading David Foster Wallace. Do I just jump straight into Infinite Jest? Or should I start with The Broom of the System?

Essays and/or short stories. I recommend A Supposedly Fun Thing or Oblivion.

>>8005403
of course you fucking jump straight into Infinite Jest he's not fucking Joyce

Start with Consider the Lobster or Brief Interviews.
It really depends how good you are at reading, because IJ demands that you are very good at reading.

Anons, I'm looking for some book
recommendations.
A great escape of sorts? One day, just leaving everything behind. Your family, your house, your job.
An adventure book I guess you could call it.
I just want to escape from my life, I would like to read about others who have done the same.

Hello guys,
First time I post in this board. When I was a child I used to love books like "Gnomes" by Huygen and Poortvliet. I was always fascinated by the illustrations, specially the lovely schematics of fantasy machines, vehicles and other contraptions. Unfortunately the last time I "read" such books was around 25 years ago, and I have forgotten their names, authors, etc. Can someone suggest similar books, so that I can present them to my 2 year old son. I would like to see if he likes them as much as I did.
I remember there being a lot of similar books with woodland creatures behaving human-like.
Cheers!

How does one go about learning Christian theology? As someone raised in a non-religious family but someone who's always been interested in the idea religion and spirituality, I'm currently unsure about how to begin, because of the vast array of knowledge. Yet, I'm not necesarily looking to convert, but instead am interested in learning about the study of God and the way in which people think about religion and spirituality. I'm more interested in the intellectual aspects, I guess, than trying to completely assimilate into Christianity. I'm a complete novice to this, so i apologize if my question seems kind of overly broad. Should I start with the KJV?

Freedom, Liminality and Social Change
The notion of Rave events as vehicles for social change may be illuminated by the notion of liminality, a term originated by Arnold van Gennep in Rites of Passage (1909) and later expanded by Victor Turner. Liminality refers to the ambiguity of the ritual realm, where everyday reality is transformed into a symbolic, ‘commitarian’ experience which thereafter affects the individual’s lived reality. In this way it can act as a catalyst for social change. In psychological terms, ritual can be viewed in terms of flow as a ‘psychophysical experience of involving oneself totally in an activity’, which provides the individual with the opportunity to assess his/her normal life, and that this can induce personal and social change.

In his semiotic analysis of rituals, Keyan Tomaselli defines them as ‘The collectively patterned performance forms through which processes of cultural or sacred signification are integrated into consciousness and social practices’.

Tomaselli identifies the liminal state as one that enables the individual to question traditional ways of operating and to recognise new possibilities. Liminal states are also where the noumenal is oft to be found; ‘noumena’ in Tomaselli's view are ‘things and processes which resist scientific understanding’, which range from the paranormal to the supernatural.

One of the most powerfully transformative music events currently known to humankind is the Rave. At these events, the energies of electronic music and light are transcribed into kinaesthetic energy, ie. movement, through dance. People dancing in this energy field resonate to the sound and light frequencies which cascade about them...

Just learn to expect not having the book, accept it and move on by squashing the desire for it, it doesn't matter, nothing does, relax and never set another goal ever again, or at least never worry if you don't reach it. Be sure to tell everybody about your new skill set.

I can't believe this is a point of a discussion. Use any programm you like. The simplier it is, the more brain exercise you get. Don't you think that's helping for you as a writer?

Libre Office on GNU/Linux or Microsoft Office on Windshaft (pirate it DUDE)

Just finished The Name of the Rose and wondered if anybody wanted to stop cyclically navel gazing over Turgenev, Pynchon and DFW and have a discussion on the late great Umberto Eco.
