Why post this thread? I really do pity you for having such a boring and attention-hungry personality that would lead to your posting this thread. It isn't funny, it isn't interesting, and it isn't informative. Please don't post on this board again, or at least think about what value you're contributing to your own life or to the lives of /lit/ posters before doing so again. I'm saging this post and hiding the thread so any reply will go unread on my part.

There is no answer. Words are just signs. And you can interpret signs because of your memories.

HEY KID!

I've never seen the accent over the A like that.

If Victorian language doesn't bother you. Also: epilstilary and he repeats story points over and over from different characters points of view, so repetitive. Always go for the Norton Critical Edition, bro! It gives lots of footnotes for antiquated words and references.

I disagree, I didn't find it repetative at all. I found the form very engaging and well crafted, and each person's individual style and voice is very well done. seriously one of the best written works I've read.

>>7444593
I like them too. I also love Cambridge, Harvard, Yale, and Brill.

Literally just keep going OP, it's hundreds of pages in before some plot lines tie together. All memeing aside it's a great book, stick with it and it's an overall powerful experience.

off topic zen and the art has been on my shelf for like three years because I got it for a quarter. is it worth reading?

It's a tie between A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu, Gravity's Rainbow, and Agapē Agape.

not very accurate. level of knowledge is irrelevant to happiness. iq generally correlates positively with happiness, though it would be worth examining if this holds for increases in IQ even past the top say 1%, it might break down.

i also suspect among poor people increases in iq correlate with happiness up to a certain point, but then begin to decrease.

>>7443720
Confirmation bias. All happy smart people are too busy actually doing shit to post on internet forums and make little pictures.

You can guess which camp I belong to.

Infinite Jest.

>>7443353

Is this a man or a woman?

>>7443356
Maybe.

Endless prose about nature or endless info dumping of whale hunting facts.

I'd rather end myself.

Not to be that guy, but whaddya mean by choose? Choose one to exist and the other not to? One to take with me to a desert island? One to say 'this one is of better aesthetic quality than the other?'

I mean, they're important for different reasons, I like them for different reasons...

the Dick that is Moby
because: less hobbitses

Early Church Fathers
Desert Fathers

post-revolution and especially 20th century catholic philosophy is some of the least tapped shit with the most potential in the history of western thought

jesuit studies is huge right now but still everyone is ignoring all these 20th century catholic conservatives
