I'm trying to become more quick witted. Who are some of your favorite witty writers/works
Stirner. Just say everything's a spook.

Wit in Stormlight Archive is quite funny and witty imho. You'll have to get through 500pages of (quite good) genre fiction though to get to those parts
>>10004942
Jack Vance's 'Tales of the Dying Earth' stories (particularly 'Eyes of the Overworld' and 'Cugel's Saga' which come a bit later). Also R.A. Lafferty. Anything by Lafferty. All of his stories are very short, clever and funny.
Ok I need some book suggestions, I'm into sci-fi and horror stuff. I saw the book suggestion page but I wasn't really sure what'd fit what I'm into. I'm also a slow reader so I'm afraid if I pick up a crap book it'll just waste a lot of my time. Some of my faves: 1984, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, The Damnation Game, Hyperion (and Fall of Hyperion). Right now really looking for good horror. Appreciate anything in advance.
What am I in for?
>>10004677
Quite entertaining. Lots of claims with very little evidence to back it up. It has a sort of poetic rhythm to it.
>>10004677
Lots of drawings of vikings for some reason. Maybe my edition was weird, but it looked like a Rupi poetry collection only for muscled thugs.

If they say so, it must be true.

I'd be more interested in one where they took out spam rather than bias.

It's funny because women have no thing.

Is it easier for you to imagine the end of capitalism or the end of the world? What's going to happen next?
The end of the world because it could literally happen right now and the end of capitalism would take at least a few years
The end of capitalism is the end of the world.
Have you learned how to take joy in hating the world? Recognized the horror of being human?
>>10003933
Is this the book to do that?
>>10003933
Sure, and then I turned 13.

pff.. nothing personnel bugs
So I finally got around to digging into this one and think it's great so far, especially as an introductory book. There should be more talk of the nouvelle droit on here.
>>10003660
We have right-wing threads here every week
>>10003753
About the nouvelle droit? I've never seen any.
Book series as it was released or Chronological, if there are prequels and such?
Which way do you read big works? Example, "Pern" series. You can read either way and get a whole different view of things depending on how you read it the first time.
