>inb4 someone mentions 50 shades of grey
I also enjoyed Anaïs Nin's Venus Erotica. Well written and the actually arousing.

i do realize this Sacher-Masoch is pretty much "cuck, the book" but still.

Probably some Agatha Christie Hercule Poirot shit

My mom has worked in a bookshop since I was a child so over the years I've read hundreds of airport novels.
They are all basically the same, just pick one at random from the best seller list if you want something contemporary.

Otherwise the only things that stands out in my mind is:
The Bourne Identity, don't bother with the rest of the trilogy though.
The Day of the Jackal
Without Remorse by Tom Clancy

>20th-century Christianity moved away from a life-denying other-wordly emphasis towards a more decadent wordly ethic

Not true. Yes, there has been a rise in what's called Prosperity Theology (aka Name It & Claim It, or Blab It & Grab It), Christianity hasn't made this move. Christianity in fact cannot make this move:

Then Jesus said His to disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
--Matthew 16:24

>>7847835
Yes. Modern day ethics preach the lie of hedonism in which numerous pleasures end up making life poor as a result since there's not "one" strong pleasurable experience. I think Nietzsche critized hedonists though as being decadent animals living meaningless lifes though. I think he would've denied it as leading to a society of weaklings and herd-walkers instead of strong individualists, However the criticism of christianity is still valid inasmuch as there are still fucktards practicing the religion, and inasmuch as the fact that Nietzsche criticized religion more from an ethical standpoint, and this ethos is manifested specially in the modern taste for democratic governments, equality, and SJW.

Genre is trivial classification of superficial elements.

Good luck fishing for #content for a Gawker Media site on here.

That's "what's to track" should be "wants* to track"

Reverse Google image search.

Other than that, it depends of what's in the picture.

That was great thanks!

I do

>>7847623
I do, though. I have about 1,200.

Why don't you browse /lit/ in paper? Esites lack character.

OP is a homosexual

how does one spontaneously develop two separate handwriting styles?

let me rephrase that;
since nobody ever spontaneously develops two separate handwriting styles, the question begs as to why the hell would you consciously obsess about your handwriting.

>>7847526
The first thing one learns about cursive is to not lift the writing utensil off the paper until the word is completed. Why would you labor yourself so much as to interrupt your words like "unjust" to simply put in a J. It looks dumber than just using one or the other.

Use the Palmer Method. Learn the right way to sit and hold your arm. Use your upper arm muscles to form the letters, not your lower arm muscles or wrist muscles

the Italian translation is internationally recognized to be better than the original itself

>>7847347
In what way? I'm genuinely curious as to how you rate translations of a book that's supposed to be confusing.

>>7847290
I'd say the whole thing is pretty dope but I'll limit it to the fundementals:

Read the Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Number, Deuteronomy.

Read the beautiful stuff: Ecclesiastes, Job, Song of Solomon

Read Isaiah, the only prophetic work required to fully understand the weight of the NT

Read all of the Gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Read Acts.

Primary Epistles: Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians, Timothy, Hebrews, 1/2/3 John

And of course read Revelation.

I would say that you should probably just man up and read the whole thing through, but if for some reason that's hard, in my humble opinion the top picks maybe would be Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Daniel, and Isaiah off the top of my head. Just go ahead and read the entire New Testament honestly, it's not that long and shouldn't take you all that much time. Maybe drop Acts if you must.

>>7847407
This is a good list

no not really though if you're such a sadsack to continue to identify with him you're just a confused young kid

hopefully

Mason and Dixon is different but some regard it his magnum opus. The rest is stuff you read if you just want more Pynchon.

M&D

>>7847262
V. if you haven't read it yet. M&D is the next best thing after that but I still think GR is his best.
