Maybe the Closer to Truth series but they tend to be short videos and focus on specific questions.

>putting an interview with some creepy molester from berkeley instead of the one with pre-animal rights wackiness peter singer discussing hegel

it's too bad singer got so enamored with his little fame he got for being a vegan nut instead of continuing to do serious scholarship, he used to be pretty smart before he got lazy and just tries to make people feel guilty for eating tendies to keep his career going

charlie rose is like the only good discussion show in the united states television, and even then rose is a shitty interviewer because he always interrupts the person right when they try to make their point, i don't know if that's some queer strategy he has to throw them off and get deeper answers but it's frustrating as shit as a viewer, just let the guy fucking talk dickhead

I've been debating with myself whether or not to read Rabelais. Does he have any great insights into human nature or is it just pure shit talk?

Pure shit talk but in the best of ways. I'm sure you could deduce some humanist values from it but tbhq it's priceless for the laughs. One of the few classics I didn't have to fight to find the humor in. Leagues beyond Swift, Voltaire, or some dumbshit hack satirist like that. More valuable than Cervantes at times. Whenever Gargy drowns Paris in piss :,)

Also forgot to add, go with the penguin classic edition. Easier to jump around and skim. i'd stick to the major sections (intros, famous scenes, endings). I'm sure you could find a worthwhile syllabus online (look at Oxbridge or Harvard for Renaissance courses).

hey /lit/, please tell me what you think of the plot of my novel:

The year is 1910. Adolf Hitler, a struggling artist, has fought off dozens of assasination attemps by well meaning time travelers, but this one is different. This traveller doesn't want to kill Hitler, he wants to teach him to paint. He pulls off his hood to reveal the frizzy afro of Bob Ross.

Yes, good. Ross teaches him to paint, and Hitler becomes a great success, and a counter-Semite. His celebrity helps to promulgate the wide dispersal of his teachings. Jews aren't especially persecuted or mass-murdered or anything of the like, but criticizing Jews is not taboo.

Vexed, a Jew time-traveler sees how to stop all of the unwelcome criticism unleashed by Hitler.

He goes back in time and positions himself to make the final determination concerning Hitler's application for art school.

He shoahs the application, and rubs his hands, laughing, "Haha, stupid goyim! I've stopped Hitler once and for all!"

The End

I'm looking for something new to read, and someone I know recommended to me the Heralds of Valdemar series.

I'm wondering if anyone here has read the books of this series? I kind of want to know what I'm getting into if I start to read these. Is it any good?

I've read a LOT of these, and loved them. Granted, I read them as a 16-18 year old girl, and magical horses were pretty much the best thing I could imagine.

I remembered this one pretentious realist cuck who only reads realist novels. I can just say fuck it, whatever, do whatever you want.

Then he says:
>Edgar Allan Poe is the shittiest author ever. I mean, the Raven? Disgusting!

Okay, I can respect that. We all have our own opinions after all. Son I asked him who's his favorite author. I expected someone like Flaubert or something.

>Franz Kafka and Paulo Coehlo

Bye Felipe.

Is /lit/ a fan of Elmore Leonard? I want to read some of his stuff having watched Justified, which was based on his stories. The show was surprisingly good for a cable TV series, much of the dialogue really struck me and made me think, there's no way some script writer thought of that, it's too polished and too funny too effectively, it has to be adapted from some real source material made by a real writer. I'm a from New York and was impressed as hell by these western characters, they deal with this theme of a deep manliness that is so rare and captivating in a modern landscape that takes it for granted, that's 'past' such things. So Anyone have some recommendations/experience to offer? Hoping not to go into this blind.
