Are you purchasing these? Or are you asking us to rate your current collection? Are you 12? Would you like a real collection?

Better to just flip a page or two before the end to see how many pages.
I've done that shit, though. Even if I'm on the last page, my eyes want to read the last words and I can barely concentrate.

If I were to right a Philosophical book, would you recommend it be written as Nietzsche does, with separate yet connected paragraphs with many parables and hidden meanings, or more akin to regular books such as Kant or Descartes?

I would say that unless you have some serious post-grad level philosophy under your belt not to write philosophy at all. Almost everything you write will be laughably wrong. Please don't.
Saying that I like thinking so I do philosophy is like saying I like drawing pictures of houses so I'm an architect. It's a serious discipline that only serious academics are able to contribute to.

It's bloody fantastic, is what.
It's one of those texts that remind you that every innovative and challenging development in the contemporary novel (thinking of pomo challenges to the form) was already done in the 18th century.
Have you read it? If you're considering it, just start it. It's not the sort of novel that you read cover to cover, but that you read for a while, then return to later. It was written in instalments (as they were then), so it makes sense to read it in chunks.

Hey guys/gals, I'm reading the road for school and I was wondering if I could get some input from this line: "How does the never to be differ from what never was?" I'm wondering what is your interpretation on it because I'm dumbfounded, all opinions are welcome thanks!

Hey guys. Is there still a point these days to read The Old Testament? I've been reading the KJB recently not so much as in an attempt to convert as in a search for a literary experience/because it's an important work to understand the western canon. Because Christianity relies mostly on the New Testament, is the OT as important or has it degenerated more or less solely into a source of prose?

yes, it's still important. it's not necessary to becoming a christian, but a lot of it is super interesting. If you really are interested in being a Christian you might be interested in learning about the history and struggles of God's people.

My fav character is Jon Snow because IMO his chapters are the least boring, also Tyrion.
I've only read the first book, and I'm half way through the second.

These replicant mimetic creatures are almost undetectable. – “Thanatos mimics the anthropomorphic desiring-cycle — anticipating, enveloping, and simulating it — but it is on its way somewhere else. Because thanatropic replicants are dissimulated as erotic reproducers, they initially appear as traitors to their species, especially when the shamanic xenopulsions programming their sexuality are detected. Nothing panics the reproducers more traumatically than the discovery that erotic contact camouflages cyberrevolutionary infiltration, running matrix communications channels across interlocked skin sectors.” (Machinic Desire, p. 7) – Nick Land
As we become One with our Other. As Man melds with machine to become cyborg—as man merges with animal/insect to become something anthropomorphic (think Kafka’s Metamorphosis or Beatrix Potter)—and as these anthropomorphic cyborgs meld with Others like themselves, we become more immanent and holistic in perspective, a disORGANized Deleuzian system where we are becoming Animal.
The question is: Did D&G, in their philosophy, predict the future coming of Furry culture? Is the Furry culture the Becoming-Animal?

It was just a generation of children confused by disney.
you absolute memelord.

Mmmmm... No. I don't think so. I'm trying to think of an example, but to start, consider how every major culture in the world has stories (dating millenia B.C.) about people becoming animals, and vice versa.
>>
Yet the objective relationships between animals have been applied to certain subjective relations between man and animal, from the standpoint of a collective imagination or a faculty of social understanding… The animal is inseparable from a series exhibiting the double aspect of progression-regression, in which each term plays the role of a possible transformer of the libido (metamorphosis). – Deleuze & Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus

Just finished this. I really enjoyed it, but I think it made me too empathetic to the blight of the downtrodden. Am I a goddamn red now?

This. I think she takes too long to get to two overly simplified point, but lots of young libertarians get a conservative boner from Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. I can sum her books up for you... >Workaholism is the only civic duty and the ends justify the means.

Are spooks always negative notions? Or can they be positive? Is the concept of a spook more about unveiling the truth of the external forces around you?

"Spooks" is used a catchall for unexamined influences on us all.
