>>7590706
lolz.

I think the person you're looking for is named Freud, OP. He was a pretty famous psychoanalyst who wrote a bunch of books, he also had an excellent beard. You should look him up.

You probably wont have a first chapter until sometime towards the end of the book. Start with the second tbqhf

You should start with the Greeks.

"A screaming comes across the sky" is a good way to start

I've read Autobiography of Red and it was good. Incredibly good. Don't be afraid to feel and cry, anon, it's only human.

Would be interested in hearing about Citizen, it's on my to read list

Dr Zhivago

Milan Kundera - The Unbearable Lightness of Being

Life and Fate.

I read it two semesters ago. Stylistically I wasn't a huge fan of it, nor was I fully impressed by it as a standalone work. However, I definitely think it's implications when used as a lens for other works is definitely interesting.

Basically, I think that while there is definitely a lot to be had just from Confessions, I found it more of an enjoyable experience to consider it up against other works that have to do with addictions of all kinds.

I learned a little bit about De Quincey in my romanticism lecture last semester. The guy's life was hilarious.

It's pretty obviously the basis for the work of Burroughs, Thompson, Welsh, etc. Besides starting the whole junky pseudo-memoir thing I don't see much else value in it.

Those books always looked interesting to me but the high pricess didnt do it for me. Found a bunch of them at the thrift store for like twenty cents each. This first 3 HH novels were there but then the rest were a mishmash of different WH series as well as a couple more from HH.

Its a fun read, but I dont see the story coming to an end in print. We all know about the battle of Terra and how Sanguinos, Horus and the Emperor die and how the traitors dissapear into the eye of terror from various sources ... but how about releasing those books so I can actually read them.

To me it brings in a lot of stuff I thought was lacking in the Star Wars books when I was younger, that being the violence for the ost part. Sci-fi, military fiction, facist government, religious zealotry, insane use of natural resources, the sheer scale of everything!

why not read something decent?

Scruton, Roger. The Aesthetics of Music. Oxford University Press, 1997. ISBN 978-0-19-816727-3

Meme book but rest is Boise by Alex Ross is ok.

Thank you sir. Do you happen to know of any recent articles, or maybe even books. that talk about pop music aesthetics? I'm thinking like what an electronic remix of a Lana Del Rey song can do to a listener at the right moment and a few drinks deep. I unironically believe electronic and some rap can be incredibly beautiful. I realize how niche this is

i have this book. it's a fun read and nothing special but nothing stupid either

I read The Thin Red Line a long time ago, the author is something else, you should see an interview of him, he's been through some shit. It was a good book too as his firsthand experiences in his writing is pretty intense.

>>7590254
Yes. Not a pretty prose guy, but he knows what he's talking about and he led an interesting life.

>why so revered

obviously more than .1% of people think as you do then.

Because they're touchstones that future generations will be able to look at to understand the history surrounding that work of art

Because you're autistic or are so sheltered and dead inside your sense of reality has totally atrophied after years of vidya and anime that nothing moves you on a deeper level than "oh shit steam is having a sale today!" anymore

Live life, go outside, hike in the cold, love and get your heart broken, let the primal experience of life butch slap you back to reality. Know what it is to live and live tragically

seems cool. provide a pic based infographic on what i should or shouldn't read about/by him

otherwise fuck off

What is an autopoietic structure? Sounds interesting

>>7590353
Basically, it's a structurally defined system that produce itself and it's adapted to an environment.
This is the conceptual base to Maturana's argumentation about almost anything. The best thing is that in his books he quotes studies that affirm his possition. It's not just philosophical mumbo jumbo.

Start with "the three of knowledge".

>>7590161
Thanks. Maybe I should also note that I am particularly interested in his ideas on human culture and the collective unconscious

>>7590176
Man and His Symbols, I think. He wrote it specifically to be a general overview of his work for a neophyte, so you could read it and drill down from there.
