The Color Purple.

Steinem and Hooks talk about womens issues like it's still the 60's.

purple, no question

I own it, but I've yet to read it.
Is HGtTG a book that endorses atheism?

The last time I read it I was 14, and I enjoyed it then. I don't know what I would get out of it now, I don't remember enough about it. Reddit does love it, which might be a bad sign of the humor in it, but just read it and decide for yourself.

It's alright. It's pleasure reading, it doesn't elevate you to another degree of "literature" or whatever what are u expecting?

It's funny, sweet and pass-timer.

Go read it and get it over with

It's pretty obvious

wow what a mystery

Why are all the good writers today, Sexist date rapist types?

Tu español está de la verga, empieza con libros para niños o de youtubers, la literatura para imbéciles es perfecta para aprender un idioma, sobretodo para que te familiarices con las preposiciones correctas en cada contexto.

I'd point out that without social constructs they would be pic related.

Breaking structural norms that exist to reduce suffering is unethical.

I would also suggest that thinking about such deep questions only leads to anxiety.

Doesn't that mean morality is just whatever we agree it is? and there is no objective morality?

>>7833813
>there is no objective morality
Nothing is objective save mathematics and the science that derives from it. Social Sciences especially.

The Dark Enlightenment. NRx advocates monarchism and traditional gender roles, throwing society back into the Middle Ages. You would think that a guy that understand D&G so well, would see the problem with hierarchical power systems. I think Land was just being a deviant reactionary to draw attention to himself. It worked. But no one could possible take his ideas seriously.

That said, Fanged Noumena is still a great read. Lang is/was a great writer. A pleasure to read his work.

this is a good example of a rhizome:

i feel bad for writers, since u need to have a brand name degree for anyone to take ur seriously, as a programmer i just have to write good code that solves hard problems, fuck a degree lol (although i did a humanities for fun when i was younger)

because I'm assuming you only had good grades and a decent SAT score to offer them, correct me if I am wrong

What is the point in a literature degree? You can read and form opinions on a book just as well without one. Go to school for something that will make you money and spend your off time reading.

Yes they do. Though they did turn out a lot of beatniks.
Try not to get shot or stabbed on your way to class.

Work hard and stay the hell away from drugs and alcohol and you will have a bright future waiting for you in 4 years.

when are you turning 16?

do you ever regret the hours you've wasted reading about the left's version of the zombie apocalypse?

What's been the biggest adjustment for you in transitioning from highschool to university?

How's campaign trail? Been thinking about getting it. Coincidentally, i'm about to read Hunter Thompson's In Las Veags, just finished Mythology (Edith Hamilton)

>>7830909
im about 250 pages in or so. of course its very contextually based but its a great accounting of a time in history and it has some great universal truths about politics in the form of hunter's usual rambling writings. I feel like it was probably more effective as it was coming out, now its more of a historical reference of the 72 campaign via the lens of hunter s. thompson, essentially making it one of the best works of the new journalism movement

proudly bumping this creative thread idea

Lmao my le morte de Arthur has a hilarious note. Some dude gave it to his gf and called himself Arthur and her guenevere. He clearly never read the book

Gravity's Rainbow, page 4 or 5

It's describing everyone waking up to the scent of the banana breakfast

in the bottom margin, in all capitals, is the underlined word "MISOGYNY"

Vonnegut's Slaughter House Five is an amazing book on this subject, much of Hemingway is also good (except from Whom the Bell Tolls). I even consider The Odyssey a book about how war is hell (Odysseus cannot leave the war behind, and adapt/return to civilian life even when he physically returned to Ithaca)

Heart of Darknes. Oh wait

>(except from Whom the Bell Tolls).
Care to elaborate?
