It is a lot easier to just sit on your ass and watch youtube videos of people who are unironically fat fedora wearing gamer say things like "the easiest way to become an atheist is to read the Bible " or "We are all atheists about most of the gods that societies have ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further."

Atheists drop out of high school to become professional gamers. They don't read at all.

Of fucking course it evolves

Typically it gets streamlined with less syllables

>>7853704
It evolves, of course. Though, it's still a fucking cop-out when someone ends an argument with that particular phrase.

And but so I ate a Gorgonzola sandwich while wearing a pig costume.

Outed plebbie. Plechazunga Pig-man is a yellow and purple creature of German Expressionism

It's a metaphor for being yourself.

It was all a harangue on penises and its wonders.

its a comment on the repression of sexuality in victorian scotland

when pronounced in the scottish dialect you realise the title is actually "my big dick"

My favorite book. It's pretty remarkable for its time. Predicts philosophical trends extremely well. Actually had to put it down after 600 pages and resume it a few months later because I felt like if I kept reading it I'd kill myself.

>>7853898
I agree, there are several times where I can see how he predicted not just philisophical trends, but the nature and spirit of US culture. It reminded me of Delillo in White Noise, but about 30 years ahead. How many times have you read the book? I can tell it benefits from several re-reads.

>>7853957
I've read it 1.5 times. I started from the beginning after putting it down to take a course on it. One thing I noticed on re-reading was that the introduction of almost every character is ominous. I especially like how Otto is introduced for that reason, though I can't stand anything about him. The parapraxes are also filled with foreshadowing. Who is your favorite character so far? I'm fond of Anselm

I was surprised when I first learned about subvocalization, because I never really did it. It's like I just read, I don't consciously sound out the words in my head.

>>7844891
Exactly how I felt. I thought it was amazing that the average person had such a low bandwidth brain.

He wasn't one nor did he consider himself to be one.

I also cannot fucking stand that piece of shit Harris.

>>7854483
I didn't say he considered himself one

ubermensch does not need the title
so he would not concede not because he can but because it unconcedes him

Why do you want “gay” authors?

>>7856092
Yukio mishima, the man was an absolute fairy.

>>7856114
I'll admit it. I... am gay. I want to explore my new-found, gay identity.
