Most of the best writers for it died or moved on.

Now the kids who read nothing but YA are adults writing YA, so it has no real elevation or depth.

>Ender's Game
>vanilla and safe
u wot m8

>>7726597
Ender's Game fits in the former category, back when YA was good; look at good YA fiction of the 80s and 90s, they had sex, swearing, violence, they'd never be labeled YA by today's pussy standards.

Hey there, not OP here, just checking in to tell you you're a pleb

Heidegger is Nietzsche's true heir. Read him.

Stirner is quite bad and his fanboys don't read.

Aristotle is better than both.

There's literally nothing in Nietzsche or Stirner that disproves Aristotelian teleology.

>>7720508
I found similarities between him and the fabricated aesthete of Either/Or.

>>7720596
Because Nietzsche is best read as aristotlean

Read some Katsafanas.

is Foucalt Pendulum worth reading? Seen it on some postmodern chart

>>7718162

I'm just waiting for Gene Wolfe to die

also i was thinking this would make a good schedule for the next 4 days:

24-36
37-51
55-70
70-86

because these are sensible stopping points and they average about 15 pages anyway. idk how well it'll hold up when we get going but it seems better this way. (p.s. i'm using Vintage edish)

what do you all think?

That's weird, I just got the book yesterday and I just got up to that part, didn't even know about the reading group
I'm gonna admit it, I'm struggling with it, not really sure what's going on and the French and Latin is annoying. Is there a good guide online that I can read along with?

Just read the fucking book you weirdos, there's enough to chew on mentally based on how it feels you don't need several hundred versions of a dictionary to check every word
But whatever, one of my favorite parts at the beggining is the milk math word problem where bucky gets the bill from the milkwoman

Can you have a space opera with a small amount of characters?

op that comic is insensitive, first it marginalizes people with unusual sexual interests, and it stereotypes dark skinned ppl as violent thugs prone to hate crimes, u need to write an apology or i'm going to put u on blast on twitter and tumblr

Meaning that she can do decent stuff with little ressources, but once you give her the big budget, she's a laughable cause?

>>7715768
Better than decent, but yes.

she doesn't write literature. She is just fun with imagination and you are probably lying if you say you didn't enjoy it as a kid. That isn't to say you wouldn't have had a better time with something with literary merit.

Basically
>Guy who becomes infatuated, has several psychotic outbursts in front of the woman and her family, shoots himself in the face and blames the suicide on her
Werther would be nothing but some kind of greentext story 2016 that people would wince at

>>7724841
Surprisingly a lot of lit is like this.
The frog men have always existed, they aren't a modern phenomena.

>I've never seen a Hitchcock film

>>7724741
Yeah but Hitchcock's suspens is very visual and musical, and - sorry for being a pain in the ass - the problem is how to create that shit with words.
