Yo homie slice.

It depends on what area interests you the most.

Do you want a phenomenology take after existentialism? This leads to issues regarding ontology and the like.

Do you want a linguistic take prior to or after existentialism? This is specifically regarding continental issues of language, which will lead to postmodernism, etc.

If you want the former, I would probably start with Heidegger.

If you want the latter, I would begin with Saussure's Introduction to General Linguistics.

>>7456441
They honestly both interest me but I might go with Saussure first. If I was to read Heidegger, what would I read?

>>7456466

Depends on what you like. If you want the more existential orientation, I would begin with Being and Time in effort to understanding his theory of language that arises there. And thus, contradistinguish it with his later works like Letter on Humanism. One is an earlier work, the one he is most known for, and the other is a later work where he renounces his allegiance to his prior conceptions of ontology, phenomenology, etc.

Either way, to understand some of the shit going on in structuralism, post-structuralism, and postmodernism, you need a basic understanding in phenomenology imo. Especially if you are going to read authors like Derrida.

I like it. They were my introduction to Epicureanism, and Stoicism.

Okay if you want inaccurate summaries that morph philosophy into self-help.

They're pretty bullshit. They condense too much at the cost of quality.

And some of their videos are really cringy. Like Vice-tier.

full house niice. Cus of that I'll see if I can find it at the library tomorrow

>>7455775
Read TCoL49 first because its shorter and in the case that you actually have a brain and are not just a mindless drone liking whatever /lit/ does, you might not want to continue reading the *holds up spork*-tier cringe of Pynchon.

But this actually gets a smile out of me?

>>7455451
Because of bullshit publishers that can't accept the fact they should go out of business and declare bankruptcy.

I just finished a paper on a related topic, so I figured I'd pick this up. It's off to an underwhelming start.

>>7455395
What are some books with an unreliable narrator? I've heard the term thrown around but don't know of any books that have one.

>>7455400
One flew over the Kekoo's Nest

>>7455400
Everything by Gene Wolfe (Peace and Book of the New Sun). Lolita, Frankenstein and other stuff I can't recall.

The latter.

neither.

the correct answer is

>shitposting on 4chan with frog pics

grats OP you did it!

what's "native language"?

t.a genuinely interested immigrant in europe

How does it 'debunk' that since most of the advice given in it is just basic literary criticism.

>>7455201
Don't know about any of those but Meditations was good. Hagakure has some good advice too. For romance? Just read about body language.

Although I like the idea. I am sure that /lit/ would never be able to agree on a list. The closest thing to this I can think of is the various ebook torrents such as the 'Everything you need to know ever" torrent on /t/

it's too popular to be good

>Protag is a pedo and marries a literal Meme
It's like 4chan: The Novel

I didn't really care for it:

30 pages in: Wow, this is pretty funny, innovative.

60 pages in: Jesus fucking christ! How many goddamn characters are in this!?!?!

100: What the fuck! Is this going anywhere! Will you lay off with this goofy random shit? It's seriously getting old! And how many more fucking characters are going to show up?!? Fuck this! *throws book*, imma go jerk off.

The Game takes like two seconds to read dude, it's basically one big anecdote with some commentary thrown in. It pisses me off when people read that and think they've learned something, the point the author is trying to make is the whole "Game" is just a shallow net for shallow fish and a complete waste of time

>>7456037
Eh. I read some of it, Neil Straus is much more sympathetic to it.

Models is much more critical of "the game" and actually provides some decent advice on how to be a more confident, more social, happier person.

>inb4 you're an autist.

Yes. Yes I am, that's why I try and solve my problems through reading about them.

>>7456037

What do the both of them say?

>>7454922
infinite kek

anyone got the meme of Hal at the party?

>>7454490
There's plenty of /lit/ with homoerotic tones if you look at them a certain way, but I can't say I can think of many gay books worth reading.

If you're desperate, you could always read Hogg.

>>7454490
William S. Burroughs have tons of gay shit. Queer and Naked Lunch particularly

obviously the idiot by dostoevsky

probably not

Why is this place such a shit hole?

>>7454469
