This whole thread is a troll thread.

Just be happy that you found somebody smarter who cares about you.

why would I fight someone for being correct though?

I'd much rather read an insightful philosophical concept written in greentext rather than a vivid description of your faggotry, homo

>>7802102
this is true

translations are a meme you dip

>>7802106
As in, that there is any recognisable or substantial difference between translators? Or that reading books in any language beside the original is a waste of time?

If the latter, what languages do you speak?

>>7802106
Waterever you ugly cunt.

You're trying to teach yourself perspectives of a subject by polar ideologies. Very smart.

Saged.

I need to know why I was recommended calibre for ebooks and what's a better alternative

>>7801796

Calibre is the best, I don't even know if there are alternatives. What isn't it doing that you need it to do?

Am I surrounded by heads and bodies?

All right man, so here it is. Now it's not fully formed but like its got the ideas they're. Get it. 'Course ya do. Anyway so it centers...right...centers itself on this religious group. But like it ain't a normal religious group. It's these nomadic group of people that happen to have chosen a life outside the norm. They just wanted to get high really. Get high and no responsibility. And who needs to be responsible in an automated world worked out by artificial intelligence, right? No one, right? Of course. It almost makes sense to rail a line of ambien and drive your mobile-home roaring with good friends burning good buds.
So we did that.
We kept the Bonsai Bus parked off road surrounded by trees. It's a sweet space, really. It was three of us, this particular time. In this particular place. That'll make more sense later. So...me, Rando, and Niece were under the makeshift awning we had connected to the bus. Night crept through our bullshitting.
Niece went into the bus and came back out with a plush owl. Rando lost it at the sight of the thing. He shouted at it "The Owl, man. The Owl." He grabbed the thing from poor Niece, she didn't like that so much. "The Natives," said Rando. His voice got deep. "Worshiped these Gods..." Ya man heavy. Niece went back to sitting down. Giving up on the antics all together. Rando began decorating. I guess I helped...haphazardly.We had lights, mood lighting, right. Made some faerie rings in the mud. It was kinda cool.
We about finished things up and Niece wasn't seeming so hot. It don't ever get too bad anymore but still no one wants the heavy. She seemed like she really was gonna catch it.
That's all I got so far

Joyce did it better, family.

i've read as i lay dying and the sound and the fury. As I Lay Dying was the easier of the two, but i'd say start with his short stories. Specifically, A Rose For Emily will give you a pretty good feel for him before diving into one of his novels.

>past 5-10 years
>"modern"

You will never be patrician desu

>>7800908
>On an unrelated note, in your opinion must a good writer (particularly) also be educated?

If you're not educated you WONT be a good writer. It dosent necessarily have to be formal schooling, but if you have no education you wont be able to properly formulate and develop your thoughts, let alone express yourself in a meaningful way.

>>7800914
Not really trying to be patrician, just wondering what's good out there right now. I'm fine being a pleb, just trying to expand a bit.

>>7800919
How would you define an education and formal education?

Start here and.....dive in Anon

You can start by thinking and deciding for yourself. That's the best primer for starting with Nietzsche.

I dove in by starting with Thus Spoke Zarathustra and wouldn't recommend this approach. I then started reading Will to Power and would not recommend starting with that either.
