I felt like I read a story about a robot.
Was Fjodor so ahead of his time that he accurately predicted the beta uprising?
He and Nietzsche both predicted communism rising out of the world turning away from God (morals) so I understand
Dosti-kun was ahead of his time and still relevant today despite what some hipsters might say about him.

I'm not a robot myself, but how the underground man was portrayed made me instantly think of the stereotypically bitter and angry robot
Would /lit/ be better if you couldn't post unless you had read a certain list of books? What would you put on the list?
Just read the first page of notes from the underground over and over and over until you are so used to those particular words that it's all you can think
Then feel free to post as you wish
it would be /r/books
actually no. that's basically what it is now and most of the threads are about the same 20 or so authors

Post books where the main character is the literal definition of thinking with your dick.
I'll start.
I once saw Updike described as a "penis with a thesaurus".

in this book it's both his dick and his brain vying for control over the other
Is there a /lit/ community on any writing websites? I like HelloPoetry for its GUI and archive of famous poetry but the overall community there is shit -- as it is on writing.com and every other writing website.

Finding an irl writing group is superior to online
>>7579875
Speaking from experience, or...?
>>7579888
Yes. I've been in several writing groups. Knowing what kind of person you're talking to can help you judge the quality of their criticism, irl groups tend to be more serious (much easier to flake on online stuff), get to go out and have food and drink and make acquaintances, &c
I'm interested in psychoanalysis and was wondering who /lit/ likes outside of Freud. Can include literature or philosophy
laplanche, jung, lacan, gauttari
Better check out the transactional analysis by Berne, it's so much more relevant in modern psychology. Also, Freud was a cuck
What do you think, /lit/, did he convince you of Platonism, or are you still a nominalist?
I have to piss. Brb.
>>7579695
I'm neither a nominalist nor a Platonist. Realism is TRUE

turn off your mind, accept empiricism, be a phenomenologist, contemplate, awaken.
Was it autism?
>>7579687
No, it was the sun.
It was the heat of the moment.
Depends on who you are talking about
Will literature ever recover from this cancer?
you didn't even try
literature is not materialism in the physical sense
Is the pic a real edition of joyce works? Where to cop?
What are the obligatory readings for sublimation or sexual transmutation? Abnormal psychology, mysticism, religion, the list could go on, I'm interested in anything you can provide me with.

Bear in mindI read Kafka in translation.

Hey, i've always read novels and shit, but since i read Thus Spoke Zarathustra i've gotten very interested in reading philosophy and politics, but i don't have any idea where to start,
can /lit/ give me some advice?
>>7579533
The Last Days of Socrates, Annals of Confucius and Tao The Ching are all good starting places.
Probably start with a history of philosophy to get a general overview, then go from there.
If you enjoyed zarathustra you could try beyond good and evil
Hey guys, is the Everyman's Library version of Les Miserable good?
Not as good as the copy with anime lolita Cosette on the cover.

>why do even you exist?.png
>>7579433
That not as good as good as the cover of a donkey dick in yer mom's cunt.
Do you have to read the presocratics/sophists before you read Plato? Or is it not necessary?
The question is why wouldn't you? Pick up a book on early Greek philosophy and read it.
