I'm assuming you saw the movie?

>>7713544
nope, i like to read books unspoiled.

>>7713509
It's a pretty somber work, especially compared to the movie. Watch it after you read the book. The really impressive thing is that it was written by a woman in her 80s

Na. Nabby was pretty much GOAT from when he was young.
Keep trying tho, senpai. Or dont.

>>7713162
a lot. seriously. practice every day, i cant stress that enough.

Reading a ton of books definitely helps. then knowing what is good writing and what isn't just comes naturally

it's a pretty easy read. don't get too hung up on the similar names

So did anybody care about this before that Radiolab episode or what?

I tried Radiolab but the slapstick horseshit between the hosts made me want yo Panzeram everybody. (Look it up). Yeah, we live in a meme culture. Not a deep observation IMO. I learned aboutbit from some other meme, but pretty sure it wasn't RadioFuckinLab and their NPR ass monkeyshines.

Yeah, I wish they would just stop with the fucking OCD effects constantly and switching through fifty different voices to say one goddamn sentence. I do still listen to them sometimes, the stories can be fun, but fuck I wish they would calm down sometimes. I have the same problem with a lot of modern podcasts, they all fucking do it: 99% Invisible, Serial, TAL. Fucking ridiculous.

Anyways, yeah. This book looks kind of gay but who knows, I haven't read it.

be sad a lot

usually jerk off for a bit and then regret it afterwards

I usually just re-read Candide.

Ya man, Trump's got a few.

dunno but there's a lot of promising work being done on neural networking that surpasses human cognition so it doesn't really matter.

never heard of her, who is she?

Honestly I found the way of Zen to be a bit arduous. I like his YouTube lectures though.

>>7712923
Not his best book but yes I agree his lectures are where he shines. A very natural speaker.

I thought the picture you posted was Knausgaard by the look of the thumbnail. They do look kind of similar.

I've never read/listened to Watts or de Botton (apparently they're similar), but I'll keep this recommendation in mind.

I'm not gay
