Yeah, pay attention in class and come back when you meet the age requirement.

Find some arbitrary rules like split infinitives or the serial comma and demand that they be adhered to strictly. Copyedit any text you can find with your fussy personal sentence structures, especially casual texts from friends and family.

Arbitrary rules were found, some, such the like as infinitives (splitted), commas regular and serial, also known (AKA) as oxford, generally capitalized: Oxford, and, as to be suggested, demand all adhered to forever strictess.

its no hard to read goethe if you're a native german speaker. sometimes you have to turn your brain on to understand some of the meanings of his sentences but it should be no problem for someone interested in literature.
i don't know how it is for a non-native german reader. the texts are 200 years old so there are some words in there that even germans have to look up to get the meaning of but if you can manage to read Goethes Faust you won't regret it. its one of those rare books that is just pure literature and if you read it you will know what i mean.
maybe if you are really interested start with "Die Leiden des jungen Werthers". its not too long, the story not to complex and because of it people have killed themselves.

I have to Goethe the bathroom

boring shit

The narrator is Samuel Chamberlain's spirit form, possessing Cormac's mind. The Kid is Chamberlain. The kid didn't murder or rape any children, and the Judge was never in the outhouse; the only thing left in the outhouse was the spirit of the kid and about 80lbs of cowboy shit. The man lived happily everafter.

What do hardcore analytics even fucking do?

Serious question. I am continental as shit and I literally never run into anything analytic except maybe Pooper.

That image is horribly inaccurate.

The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne.

Would anyone know if "The Possibility of an Island" is anything like what OP is looking for?

You'd be better off asking, which author will make you a better psychologist?

Discipline and punish

Can we ever have one thread that isn't fucking stupid? Does everything have to be "Is this worth reading?" "Thoughts?" "What does /lit/ think of this?" "I started this but I don't want to finish it."

Can we ever talk about a book one time? I shitpost all day here and I still want to talk about a real fucking book one fucking time. Can you just go read this book and then come back and we'll fucking talk about it you piece of shit?

I'm choosing to believe that Eliot, Bellow, and Nabokov were included because they were real favorites of his, while Junot Diaz and Michael Chabon were included because they were friends of Iman or something.

He was a true patrician

You see this people? This is how you be a true patrician, by having your own interests that you deep dive into while still familiarizing yourself with the classics. You get such a sense of David Bowie as a person from this list.

It's a thought experiment about how a nihilist or someone who had lapsed into nihilism would actually fit into the world

Camus is an absurdist and champions caring for its own sake

_______________________________________
"It was true. Summer was over and autumn had not yet begun. Swifts were still calling in the gentle sky. "Will you come back soon?"

"But I haven't left yet. Why do you mention that?"

"Oh, it was just to say something." A trolley goes by. A car.

"Is it true I look like my father?"

"The spitting image. Of course, you didn't know him. You were six months old when he died. But if you had a little moustache!"

He mentioned his father without conviction. No memory, no emotion. Probably he was very ordinary. Besides, he had been very keen to go to war. His head was split open in the battle of the Marne. Blinded, it took him a week to die; his name is listed on the local war memorial.

"When you think about it," she says, "it was better that way. He would have come back blind or crazy. So, the poor man..."

"That's right."

What is it then that keeps him in this room, except the certainty that it's still the best thing to do, the feeling that the whole absurd simplicity of the world has sought refuge here.

"Will you be back again?" she says. "I know you have work to do. Just from time to time..."

But where am I now? And how can I separate this deserted cafe from that room in my past? I don't know any longer whether I'm living or remembering. The beams from the lighthouse are here. And the Arab stands in front of me telling me that he is going to close. I have to leave. I no longer want to make such dangerous descents. It is true, as I take a last look at the bay and its light, that what wells up in me is not the hope of better days but a serene and primitive indifference to everything and to myself. But I must break this too limp and easy curve. I need my lucidity. Yes, everything is simple. It's men who complicate things. Don't let them tell us any stories. Don't let them say about the man condemned to death: "He is going to pay his debt to society," but: "They're going to chop his head off." It may seem like nothing. But it does make a little difference. There are some people who prefer to look their destiny straight in the eye."

There are ways of understanding such experiences without experiencing them yourself

Not necessarily, but probably.
