Post a book.

Call out a name or call out a whole list.

The names called need to read that book.

Multiple names edition: people always complain about their supposedly common names like Ahmed and Toshio not being called out so let's take out as many /lit/izens as we can.

Noah should begin reading the Russians.

Infinite Jest, Gravity's Rainbow, Ulysses. Read them in that order. Though GR is "technically" more "difficult" to read than Ulysses, you are making a big mistake if you don't read at least a hundred books between each of the big 3

Can we get a thread of reccs from each quadrant of the political compass? Feel free to use the more specific compass with numbered regions. This is just something I threw together as an example but my reccs are:
1. Marx
2. Hitler
3. Bakunin
4. Stirner
I thought this would be a good thread for giving people options if they want to challenge their worldview (I'm a libertarian myself so reading Marx is going to be frustrating, but I need to do it to know I disagree with it).

Does anyone know the graph I'm talking about? It takes the political compass and numbers it, with a key on the side listing the various viewpoints. I'm trying to find it but if someone else could post it that would be great.

>>9751905
I can't prove that, in fact I'm certain this is a vast simplification of political views. But it works as a general rule, if you look at the bare bones of certain political beliefs and narrow it down to two axes.

What are some good novels about trans folk?

In general I don't like trans representation that is too cloying or political. Really enjoyed Last Exit To Brooklyn's depiction of trans women who were sexy, smart, conceited, drug-addicted, and generally fuck ups.

You won't find any since the only people who care about trans issues are trans people and they are too fucked in the head to write good books
>>
>>9751884
Is this really true? Hubert Selby wasn't trans, but seemed attracted to their status as outsiders enough to write about them. There's no other examples of that?

Just go into options and fiddle around with the autocorrect options. I'm pretty sure you can stop it from looking for sentence fragments while still having it check spelling.

This probably doesn't solve it but you're using incorrect grammar in speech. It's

You can decide whether to put the comma inside or outside.

Give me the finest rants against the aesthetic way of life you can supply. I've been an artist since childhood and beauty has betrayed me. It slips out of my fingers, only to return again to taunt me. I am getting cucked supremely by this whore. I used to love it, but no more. I don't want to even be tempted by the feeling of stepping outside on a warm and healing day. Can't trust it.

The Mysteries of Winterthurn. It's very good and you'll be thinking about it for weeks. Things are subtly implied rather than explicity stated, so you have to figure things out yourself.

Merleau-Ponty is really very good. Coming down off Plato's concept of The Many and The One, his view on perception and identity is exceptionally comfy.

>thus things are said and are thought by a speech and by a thought which we do not have but which has us. there is said to be a wall between us and others, but it is a wall we build together, each putting his stone in the niche left by the other. even reason's labours presuppose such infinite conversations. all those we have loved, detested, known, or simply glimpsed speak through our voice. no more than space is made of simultaneous points-in-themselves, no more than our duration can sever its adherence to a space of durations, is the communicative world a bundle of parallel consciousnesses. our traces mix and intermingle; they make a single wake of public durations

good god is the rest of this book this comfy?
