DT à la Poe

Does it go all #ACCELERATE?
Bc I only read stuff playing into my current meme ideology

>>7852389
If I say yes, will you read it cover to cover on sheer faith alone?

Uhhh where is Pynchon........

for every molecular drop of seriousness, 99% of the 1% valuable content evaporates

would you rather have 1% valuable content + memes, or an endless reddit universe of

naive scientism is pretty widespread among the fedora tippers, but actual scientists are somewhat more likely to have a more nuanced understanding of philosophy of science, but there's lots of variation

Will do. Anything else?

If my dad had just died and some jabroni gave me a book, i would punch them in the mouth. Seriously, how the fuck do you expect this to play out? the only thing you'll be doing is making him feel bad for not liking your 'gift' and making yourself look like a retard in the process.

>asks for quality fantasy
>has black company as example
Wew lad

>quality
>fantasy
lol

Outside of the Hobbit and LOTR, there's nothing worth reading

Malazan Book of the Fallen

If the book is anything like the city it's quite shitty.

I read this guy's novel Amigoland.

It was okay.

I did and then sold it to my nearest Half-Price Books. In fact, that was just recently.

it's shit teebeehach

I don't take kikes seriously.

Women function in society by generating frustration in men. That's it. I don't think that surprises anyone.

As a bisexual who's had a taste of dating with both genders and has gotten to get a feel for what a shitty deal straight men get, her argument is ..... well, fucking duh

(Also guys just try cock. I promise that you're more bisexual than you think you are and trust me you'll have sooooooo much more fun. You'll even have better relationships with women once you no longer actually need them for sex.)

you can learn english in 6 month. And psychology is a lie.

Everyone is "interested" in psychology (and most pf psychologists are women anyway afaik), and english is most popular language in world, everyone knows it fluently. I am not in position of giving advice in field of choosing uni tho

>>7846998
I already have an alright decent command of English. I'd be studying for a bechalor in English from what my country calls the faculty of literaries, which is the only way I can translate the word.
How is psychology is a lie? Isn't it simply the study of human mentality and thought?

What would you suggest and why?

It's Dark and Hell is Hot

If you listen to anything but classical you are a hipster with no taste and should leave this board immediatly

Reading is. Wee todd ed!!!

currently-Metamorphoses
>prior (all withing the past week or so)- the art of war, the kreutzer sonata and other short stories, the universe in a single atom, the psychedelic experience, and don't sweat the small stuff (kek all you want)
>next- probably "kitchen confidential", Gogol's overcoat, and The Stranger

>the god delusion
>the martian
>slaughterhouse-five

Oh yeah, should also mention that I plan to take (or have taken) mostly logic courses to complete my philosophy degree - maybe that has to do with the fact that I don't have to write as many essays.

>tfw Classics major so I get to read both literature and philosophy equally

why don't you like Russell, OP? I find a lot of his books really comfy and enjoyable, especially History of Western Philosophy

You could listen to a recording of the canterbury tales but you may as well get one of any book at all, none of them make any noises except when it's windy and then they just rustle a bit.

Damn this book seems comfy
>tfw you will never share stories with fellow pilgrims on the road to the shrine of Thomas Beckett

That is stupid

they have no role in society. don't let the leftists fool you

>>7851849
the reason liberals are smarter than conservatives is because they actually see the value in art

Doktor Faustus by Th. Mann

It must have helped her help herself.

better than all the genre fiction reading men

dude, you're mad online about a tweet by a pop singer. get a hold of yourself.
