that's a really long way of saying we're a bunch of meme loving fucks

the double. the character is more purely pathetic than the underground man.

The Complete Manual of Suicide

your diary tbqh

Anna K is a good place to start. Lots of farms and old sci. Or do you mean science fiction?

Idek novels about farms, poems about farms. The science thing is secondary.

Farm lit general

Top kek.

Some people abandon each other but don't know why. Others keep seeing their doppelgangers. Siblings fall in love. A woman predicts her own death.

It is true that most people think, but do not admit, that sperm tastes better in the afternoon. But one day, one brave free thinker forced an entire retirement home into doing a week long experiment that proved the matter ones and for all.

That's not what this book is about though. It's about hamburgers.

it's like a choose your own adventure but for people who want to fight

Does anyone else feel they're reading too fast? I feel like I'm not getting half as much out of my reading as I should be.

There's plenty of heroin and gay sex too.

Yeah, totally /lit/.

It's up to the administration whether or not you get access to books or writing materials. If you commit a bad enough crime or if the warden just wants to fuck with you, you'll be stuck sitting in a concrete box for years with no reading materials at all. Some prisons don't even have libraries.

Pretty sure any prison library won't have anything worth reading.

Would love a tl;dr on him

I wish the bastards who founded this idiotic ideology just committed suicide because it would be the closest they could get to fulfilling their principles.

>>7428934
You seem angry anon, I'm sorry to say, but that's decreasing utility.

Enslaving a minority for the majority is A-OK.

Thanks, based Anglo morality.

>french philosophy

>>7428910
What did you understand from Sartre?

Yes, but what solution is he suggesting?

>>7428909
Sounds like he's suggesting calling every pseudo-intellectual a real intellectual

>>7428913
No, it sounds like he's saying that making philosophy the property of academia has stifled its growth and impact.

So the solution maybe is to infuse it with less unnecessary jargon and overly abstract ideas, I guess?

>>7428657
the book fuckin sucked, anon. go read Oblomov.

confederacy of dunces was posthumously awarded after the mum begged publishers to even give it a second glance, and was likely only given that honor due to neckbeard suicide.

for the love of humanity, don't support this book and what it means.

>>7428660
Damn anon, sounds like this book really touched you

>>7428657
I thought it was stunningly unfunny for how much praise people gave it.

I literally thought I maybe got the wrong Confederacy of Dunces, like there must be some other book by the same name that's way better, but no.

The kind of people who laugh at this book laugh at farts and stuff like that.

They like the kind of jokes where the punchline is that a guy is stupid or looks stupid or says or does something stupid. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

The Odyssey

Literature: Beowulf, Book of the New Sun
Film: The Seventh Seal
Mango: Berserk

Extremely interesting and copiously stimulating. My favorite genre thus far.

It's a joke that never ends.

I'm finally starting to "get" it, and that is a good feeling. I think its good... Not much better or worse than anything else...
