been shilling this shit in the hopes that one other person reads it. it's brilliant
>>9868082
have had this on my to-read pile for more than a year. going to read it this weekend
Short but great. Almost an early form of Old Boy.
Can we get an update on those 2 Greeks images that float around in every Greek thread. I have finished the Odyssey and the Illiad and don't know where to go next, i have had different responses form anons and well I want a /lit/ consensus on the true order on reading Greek literature.
According to these:
>http://www.ancient-literature.com/timeline.html
tells me to read Hesiod's theogony and work and day
>http://www.historyworld.net/timesearch/default.asp?conid=1061&keywords=Greek%20literature
tells me to go to Parmenides
>http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780191736469.timeline.0001
oxford says Parmenides too
>http://www.hup.harvard.edu/features/loeb/timeline.html
Harvard press says Hesiod
So what do? i'd make the image but i haven't read all these books, can anons who've read lots of the Greeks give their opinion.

Don't they have an editor? lmao can't believe thay couldn't catch that

>calling the Pope a Mr
weew
Hey, how can I write a sob story to convince people to give me money? Emotional points to hit, to inspire charity rather than resentment. What persona to use
>I am a black negress
>I was raped by a white guy
>The trauma made me transgender
>And lesbian
>My white gf broke with me up after she found out I am transgender
>I am now on antidepressants
Move her back to Africa and have her also not accepted as transgender and ultimately blame whitey for this because of colonization

What's the point of all this shilly-shallying around when the end goal was just boring ol' p-in-v sex, anyway?
Now that the dust has settled, was he right about anything?
1. Hitler's diaries being fraudulent
2. Discovering Goebbels diaries
3. Revealing Churchill's secret financial backers and general retardation
4. Debunking the document which makes the most horrific accusations against those running the concentration camps (the testament of the Slovakian jews with no original source and (((somehow))) not used in the Nuremberg trials)
5. Bringing the Dresden bombing to public consciousness
6. Forcing the Poles to admit the gas chamber currently observable in Auschwitz is a fake
7. Taking a £250,000 hit after refusing to support the notion that Hitler was aware of the ((("""Holocaust""")))) in his book Hitler's War
Much more too. One of the finest historians of recent times. A true original.
He has been jailed. He has been libelled. Has been beaten. He has had Jews smashing the windows of bookshops which stocked his work. On the day his daughter's funeral he was sent an anonymous wreath from his (((enemies))) with a note quoting Philipp Bouhler (Nazi in charge of killing the mentally ill) claiming her death was as "merciful" as those of Hitler's victims.
And why?
Because the truth is so harmful to (((some))) people that they will do anything they can to suppress it and destroy those who attempt to expose it.

I'd highly recommend his books, despite some silly suggestions and misinterpretations he makes due to his sympathies.
Did anyone notice how the prose is actually kind of weak? I'm on page 30 and a bit disappointed since everybody talks about how awesome this is.
>everyone talks about how awesome this is
>everyone
>white girls aged 15-25
Prose isn't really its selling point
>>9867565
Except it is good
>>9867561
Who talks about how awesome it is? This is not really highly regarded by anyone other than high school English teachers and their students
Is Nietzsche actually worth reading?
nah just skip right to evola and call it a life
>>9867549
this except also Junger
>>9867544
Is XRA /lit/?
I think so
When you realize all is vanity.
Do you kids only read half of Ecclesiastes?
The second half of the book declares that vanity is fine as long as vanity is admitted and God is put above it.
>>9867533
Yes I did finish it, but sometimes you just get reminded of the prior fact very hard.
The only real solace is in the scripture, or silence.
>>9867540
>prior fact
That is only relevant if you're atheist.
>reading fiction is childish and immature
Is there anything more pretentious and arrogant than this?
spamming and flooding
>>9867492
yes.

Who are some pervy and creep post-war Japanese authors like Mishima Yukio I can read?
I enjoyed reading Kinkakuji btw.
I think there was some guy who said he was glad losing the war to the US because he can indulge on big American boobs and ass or something.
>>9867389
Junichiro Tanazaki
I don't remember much about pic related, except that it was kinda pervy (but ultimately wholesome, I think). About women working in the world's most chaste brothel, where men pay to spend the night next to sleeping women.
>>9867446
oh yeah it's him. Heard about him from my friend, but forgot the name so I couldn't search his book
Describe /lit/ with a quote.
it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Some characters in a book I'm writing are an exiled noble family. The setting is pre-industrial, but basically fantastical, i.e. it doesn't need to be historically accurate.
Their living arrangements are up in the air, but they are staying in the same town for about a year. What sort of living quarters should they realistically have?
Somehow renting an apartment doesn't reflect their aloofness, and a roadside inn isn't much better. No Four Seasons or Ritzes in this setting. They're not friendly enough with the local nabobs to be hosted as guests. Any ideas?
haha your a penis XDDDDDDDDDD
>>9867311
A room in a farm house?
If accuracy indeed doesn't matter, can put them in a work house or a boarding/lodging house.
Either way, they're situations where they'd be living with a lot of other (poor) people.
>writes a novel
>actually implements parts of greentext form of writing in the discourse
>wait
Could the greentext be the new desperately needed patrician literary form?
t. adhd insomniac shitposter
>>9867153
Please, God, let me live another 200 years so I can witness the 500 page greentext classics.
>>9867174
Storybro's magically lewd sleepover adventure.
Longer than lord of the rings. Great read.
Greentexting has been around forever.
The Upanishads is written entirely in greentext
Hey /lit/
I was wondering, how do you search for new books? Is there a site like rateyourmusic for books? I'm trying to expand my e-book collection.
Also are any of you familiar with Library Genesis? Do you know if it's gone for good?
>>9866858
libgen.io is still up.
>>9866862
>libgen.io
oh I knew it as gen.lib.rus.ec
thanks for the link it's very appreciated

I wrote a poem in order to win a girl back. Is this a terrible idea? Do women appreciate poetry or will she laugh and show all her friends?
>>9866510
>do women appreciate literature
that's why she left you. you're fucking oblivious.
>>9866513
but it works in the movies anon
in all likelihood your poem must be terrible,
then again her judgment as to poetic quality must be just as terrible
none of this pertains to your predicament but when she makes fun of your poem it will be for the wrong reasons
why don't you bake her a cake instead and avoid all that
>you gotta train your brain
Umm.. what? But how?
>>9866370
hes just a heideggerian right libertarian who doesnt have the balls to say he hates foreigners so he always backtracks on his statements when questioned by liberal journalists
simple, really
I FUCKING TOLD YOU, BITCH.
YOU'RE FUCKING DONE.
>>9866388
I mean, if you had to live and work as a pubic figure in Germany, wouldn't you do the same?
