How many have you read? I've only read Othello, Hamlet and Macbeth. If Henry IV and A Midsummer Night's Dream beat both Othello and Macbeth, I'm going to have to look into those as the next ones. Othello in particular I would have thought among the very best.

That's the little black classics collection? Nice.

How the hell do they keep them a uniform size anyway

Well while it's still difficult, one thing they did was for shorter things, include multiple stories. For example, Socrates' Defense is one piece, while the Poe actually includes Tell-Tale Heart, Fall of the House of Usher, and A Cask of Amontillado.

Regiment your time. Like schedule in your mind the amount of time you're going to do one thing and the amount of time you're going to do another, and be diligent about actually sticking to that schedule. Say to yourself that you'll read for 2 or 3 hours and after you're done you can go online for 1 hour. It's not enough to just say that you want to read, its important to actually set aside time to do it, away from distractions like your computer. Try to read earlier in the day, too. That way if you're done with your reading for the day by dinner you can go and do whatever bullshit you want to do after dinner with the feeling that you've actually done what you wanted to do for the day.

He was riddled with prejudices and fear. In his defense, however, he did have a sort of messed up up-bringing.

He is the precursor to modern horror and an inheritor of the strange tale.

Any of the cited references here should be good:

I honestly found Kant to be insufferable and impracticable yet Rawls and a lot of his contemporary followers seem to stem off Kantian thought I work through Kant in order to refute such philosophers.

Mill wasn't that bad to be honest family. He took a lot of previous utilitarian thinking and brought it from the radical notions down to an outline that does make some good points as you have mentioned.

I feel ya, whenever I try to describe the story it just comes out as
>uhh this one part happens
>and its cool cause then this shit happens
>uhhh one sec I forgot a couple things

Maybe I'm just an asshole after the years of being made to feel awkward in social situations, but I love stepping on peoples feet by talking about lit. Like, you know that open space after you ask someone how are they and they automaton something like "good"? If I know someone probably doesn't read I'll be like "So what books have you read lately?" "Have you ever read Joyce?" or something like that. Just to make them feel like the weird awkward asshole and not me. It feels really good.

Yep. Reductionists are generally unstimulating.
>meh, it's overrated.

if you like the first one you'll like the rest.

it helps to have studied some of the canonical occult texts if you want to get some of the deeper references.

I too am interested. I have been thinking about getting a kindle lately, but got disheartened when I looked on amazon and found out that a bunch of books that I want to read are actually cheaper in paperback.

Franny rapes Zooey. Pay attention to the lacunae.

yes. I fucking love franny and zooey. the bathroom is hilarious, and they way the scene is worded it feels so real. all of the glass family stories are great. I wish it was franny and zooey that was his most widely remembered and read work.
but still anything salinger wrote I think is amazing. it feels almost impossible for someone to have written it.

Nine Stories is the best release under his name you can get.

His writing works best in short stories imo.
