T'check watched the human rapping his fingers impatiently.the movement was both impressively dexterous and disgustingly organic.

His own discordant cackles and gleeful tittering where the only sounds that could be heard through the melee.

good, just recently can call myself a published author

Sent one novel off for representation but haven't gotten any bites because I don't have a -stein or a -berg in my surname. Was a bit depressed for awhile because no agent wants me but I just recently started delving into another novel with gusto and I think the project has potential.

Ideally it would follow the same story as the novel.

Blockbuster went out of business.

Favorite Novel: Dragon Ball
Modern Blockbuster Movie Adaptation: Dragon Ball Evolution

Like, uhhh, *sigh*, I don't even know where to start with...

Define bad though. Relatively entertaining for a good section of the populous and sold very well

It's not written very well, even by romantic novels standards. Has no defining literary prowess

I personally loathe it along with every book you will see in a bookshop that has been published in the past 15 years

How incredibly subtle, my falseflagging friend.
I'll give you what you want, though:
>What books are regularly accepted to be bad?
Anything written by a women or a nonwhite, try a redpill and see the truth.

Women are simply inferior to the white man and their rightful place is subordinate to an authoritarian, disciplinary white male who decided how she should live - preferably a life devoted to domestic life.

A woman cannot create art; a woman cannot truly be ethical; a woman cannot truly love; a woman cannot truly be loyal.
These are all facts, but will be labelled 'sexist' by liberal brainwashing society because it doesn't fit the narrative of equality.

Women simply aren't as ontologically 'there' as men, they're shallow and lack depth, they're not as self-conscious as man. They aren't properly inscribed into the symbolic text which is why they can only think about Chad cock instead of true good matters and subjects.

Women are an embarrassment. They should stay at home where they belong; they don't deserve power or rights, because they are driven by emotion and will never be anything but inherently evil and destructive qua their inferior natures.
Without their festering mackerel-reeking cunts, they would have been killed off by man a long time ago.

Off the top of my head, among famous writers, Finnegans Wake is one of the more well-known bad books. It has its champions and most people know effort was put into---nonetheless, if the term existed back when it was released, it would definitely be called a meme book for memers.

I laughed and then felt bad about laughing. but you were really just making a joke about Finnegan's Wake. That's fine.

...you weren't making a joke about Ulysses though, right? Because then we will have to net fight.

Most people have the statist mentality where authority figures are seen as infallible.

Doesn't matter, God will understand as long as you kill everyone and leave no witnesses

good diagnostician but doesn't offer much beyond that. good analysis of ideology but his analysis was better on the post-ideological world of the 90s and early 2000s

he is completely out of touch today and doesn't have a credible analysis of the current culture wars or what to do with the left. seems to romantically believe in things that have turned to utter shit for a long time, like he will correctly identify the problem that the left has never produced a credible analysis of something like stalinism, but then still sort of make light of it and doesn't produce an analysis himself

>>9761068
In what way do you think he is out of touch with the developments of the last 10 years? He seems to have his finger on the pulse to me.

I came to dislike him, but I'm still kind of sad that he died because he was a funny and likeable person

I forget where I read this, but I read somewhere that among the collected opinions of a bunch of notable literary authors, Shakespeare was regarded most often as the greatest English language writer, and Tolstoy as the greatest writer among all languages. I will try to find the source.

I dunno maybe some Gnostic texts lol I dunno

Plato's Timaeus, but you should read Phaedo and Republic first
New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha
Nag Hammadi Scriptures by Meyer
Hermetica: The Greek Corpus Hermeticum and the Latin Asclepius by Brian P. Copenhaver
Enneads by Plotinus
The Gnostics: Myth, Ritual, and Diversity in Early Christianity by David Brakke

>Death is a great horror:
>immediately upon leaving the body
>the deceased human being becomes the sole spectator
>of a marvelous panorama of hallucinatory visions
>all things became the cloudless sky
>and a mountain of clearest glass
>opens up from the blackness
>and punctuates the air above it with it’s fingers
>and causes pure death to rain towards him
>and there are no words to describe
>what it is truly like
>you cannot know it
>it as if god himself
>had bled out onto the ground
>and everywhere, everywhere
>is the stain of it
>we are soaked in it
>and it all smells of copper
>but this is false!
>it is a specter
>it is a phantom
>anguish of a writhing spirit
>reflected against the purest backdrop of nothingness
>because, oh, the death of a god! the pain of his blood!
>that would give meaning.
>But there is no god in death!
>you will not see him, you will not find him.
>god is deathless.
>what use does god have for death?
>that father of all things
>what use has he for a broken toy? what use has he for the shattered vase,
>the broken vessel?
>what use has god for death?
>and what use has god for the dead?
>when you die you pass out of god’s realm.
>you pass from his sight.

Threadly reminder that this is the likely result of Faith, and Gnosis should be pursued even as a cynical immunization against Oblivion.

Seneca, but not that "letteers from a Stoic" meme, go for "on the shortness of life" and "on happiness" instead.
