Good for a introduction, but Gombrich was a bit of a reductionist who simply ignored anything Warburg had to pass on

>Good for a introduction
exactly. I've never had proper education in arts, so as I read further in this book, I feel my horizon broadening. As if I were blind and now I'm learning to see.

I've never had any philosophical education either, so I'm looking for a similar book on that subject.

it's a great introduction to art history, a fairly standard text

1. My Struggle
2. 2666

I don't read a lot of literature from the 21st century.
Took My Struggle as one book, even though it is really six.

The Instructions

2666 is gonna win for sure

>>What are you reading right now?
Resurrection by Tolstoy and Ethics by Peter Kreeft. I'm honestly not sure when I'll get back to sff, probably when my Kobo arrives to finish Book of the Short Sun.
>>What is your favorite stand alone fantasy novel?
Book of the New Sun as it's one work split into 4 for publishing reasons.
Assuming that's not a valid answer Lord of Light.
>>What is your favorite work, either genre, of the last 10 years?
The Wizard Knight. I'm weary of any other contemporary authors. John C. Wright sounds like a fun author from how he's been described by anon in the last thread.
>>Which living author are you most afraid of dying?
Wolfe of course. I don't know any other for whom I should care.

It's pretty brave to say that the new president is going to be able to create that sort of a world.

>>7772636
it doesn't say that
it does express that people would accept/do desire such a world

Terrible picture. The fish was barely alive when it finally got near enough to the boat to harpoon.

Anyway, the fish is just something huge and dangerous that the man feels a need to conquer in order to restore his masculine self-image as a successful fisherman. This need for such a self-image is so strong that he risks his life for it even after it becomes apparent that he will not profit financially from his risks.

>>7770035
In other words he's stupid as hell.

>>7769136
Because of feels or because it's that bad?

Pleb-tier garbage.

>>7769143
Feels

>>7769144
The prose is absolutely totally affectless bland pleb tier but the level of torture she puts the characters through is on another level.
