which step in the process of searching for a book on this chart did you fail to do? Was it designating in your mind which book you wanted to find? Was it opening and looking at the image? Or was it remembering to check all of the books, and cross-referencing them with the one you designated? The third is probably the most difficult but just as essential as the other two!

I'm searching for this book:
Godefridi Bidloo - Anatomia humani corporis, centum & quinque tabulis

I found it online, but it was in a direct-reading way, not a .pdf or a .chm format and I wish to print them and browse them easier.
I've been searching for weeks...

I know this is practically a meme question but is Hitler's book Mein Kampf worth the read?
Without going into the politics of it all, does he give any insights into how he became a great speaker? Is there anything of value to be obtained from reading his book or is it just a long rant about how jews took his job?

For me, it's the greatest work ever conceived. It changed me fundamentally, and finally allowed me to see through the liberal lies that I've been fed by cultural marxist Jews all my life.

Beware: Once you've read it, you will not live in a rose-colored world like you are now. Once redpilled, you can't go back.
Try it out. See how deep the rabbit hole goes

any idea what this means? im so utterly befuddled by this sequence of dreams and why this book wtf makes it so special i have to dream about it for months and months
>>
>>7652903

Without knowing more about your life and the dream I couldn't really guess, except that it probably represents your subconscious need to learn about things that are dangerous or verboten. Those things likely aren't related to magick at all but to your self. Anyway, good luck on your quest.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

What are you working on, /lit/?

Two black men find themselves strongly attracted to each other. One is married into a wealthy family - caseworker. He gets a case from South Bronx. The other black man lives in the South Bronx (an area with an autonomous city government). The caseworker has never questioned his sexuality, but when the two meet - everything becomes different.

Spoiler: one of them is gay

One about a man from a race of monkey people who, after his single mother dies, finds himself without ties to the world. He signs on to a cargo ship, hoping to find purpose, and it ends up shipwrecked- the only survivors him and a mute tiger-man servant. They end up on a continent of bird-people and have to... something. I haven't worked out much beyond that. They could find something world-changing or have to stop a threat to the world but I'm not sure. Sounds too trite. That's what happens when you work setting-first, I guess.

The other, a fairly typical urban fantasy. A man who lives by himself is slowly tormented into half-insanity by a box in his attic, sent visions each night in his dreams of opening the box and finding treasure inside. After he dreams of finding his mother in the box- his mother who has been dead for years- he decides enough is enough, and opens the box. Turns out it's the personal library of a wizard of some note, and he is thrust, alone, into a world of magic etc etc. I hope to make it different by not including very many other people- I want him to face things alone. Involves dualistic cosmology, with black and still angels, and white and wild demons.

Hmm. I hadn't realized it before now, but both of these heavily involve dead mothers as a starting premise. Perhaps I have a problem.

Well, that sounds pretty gay.
