It's going to get out of hand fast. Hide it well...

... maybe dig a tunnel ...

try not to put barriers on what is worthy of recording. writing anything is always better than writing nothing. be as honest as you can with yourself, despite the guilt of indulging in your ego.

don't write what you don't want others to read, you don't want to end up like anne frank with your dad having to edit out parts about you touching yourself

I haven't read that particular one, and it's been quite a few years, but the few other Zerzan books I read were decent. If he mentions hunter-gatherers in that one, take his information with a grain of salt. He tends to skew ethnographic research in his favor by portraying non-agricultural societies as being almost utopian (not that they're absolute shit like a lot of people believe, but to portray them as the complete opposite is just as bad). There's also the commonly mentioned issue that a lot of his "solutions" would require the deaths of billions of people unless we simply stopped breeding for most of the next century.

>illustrated edition

Gay sex is fucking awful. I tried it because I thought it was patrician but I didn't like it all. Every angle of a man's body is hard and weird and feels like an aborted mockery of a woman's perfection, and their skin feels like grease and stubble instead of soft and nice.

Gay sex when you're not gay can basically be summed up like this: Imagine going to a foreign culture restaurant and being amazed to see that everyone is huddled over the raw, semi-rotten bodies of dead pigs, ripping flesh and bone off of them with their bare hands. You want to convince yourself that it's just cultural relativism making you nauseous, so you reach in and wrench open a cavity on the corpse and the smell of bile and suffering launches out directly at your face. You flee in terror and never eat there again.

That's what it's like spreading an effeminately moaning man's asscheeks for the first time.

eastern 'philosophy' is just vague new age bullshit and statist propaganda. Oriental people's might be cunning, but they lack true intelligence and creativity, thats why they tend to follow statist and socialist philosophies

Zen Flesh, Zen Bones

the best way is to write something between breaks
some summary or a list of characters

i believe genji has a whole bunch of characters

Reading in the original language. Heian period Classical Japanese is beautiful.

>>7615049
In between the chapters in my copy there are lists of what characters appear in the chapter.
Most of them are refereed to using their social rank only, so it can be confusing.

I can barely read Kawabata, Middle Japanese is far beyond my capability.

If you haven't read The Gods of Pegana and Time and the Gods by Lord Dunsany you don't know SHIT about weird fiction!

Well you do, but I'm using needless invective to enhance attention because I think Lord Dunsany is a pretty big deal and it would be a shame if you skipped him because my post didn't catch your eye, you know

The White People by Arthur Machen.

>>7617443

His weird fiction is good, yeah, but I think his poetry is really great. Some great stuff in there. The Penguin Classics of The Dark Eidolon is a good selection of his stories, prose-poems, and poetry.

>>7617401
Bernard Cornwell's series desu.

One and Furture King I guess.

Read the section from Geoffrey of Monmouth on Arthur, that's good and one of the earliest accounts if I remember right.

Chretien de Troyes is also essential Arthuriana.

There's a lot of other stuff out there too, but these plus the ones you've named are the most important.

>>7617423

Any particular editions for Geoffrey and Chetrien that you would recommend?

I was thinking of getting the Norton Critical Edition of Malory, but I don't know if the Oxford edition of his Complete Works is any better (the fat, red one).

The "original" language is English

The Importance of Living

not very.very few writers of quality write about political shit and when they do they usually can do it with double meanings and other cleaver,skillful tricks.I would say its good that we have freedom of speech but I don't think its essentially to writing political literature and is completely unnecessary when talking about literature of other kind. downside is usually the fact that when something is banned it has enforcers and those enforcers tend to read too much into things

Any book that encourages laws or international politics is a book that should be burned.
