I regret studying literature, not only because I will probably struggle to pay rent for the rest of my life, but because I can't even enjoy reading anymore. I used to be able to read hundreds of books in a year, now I barely finish whatever I need to in my courses. Now when I get free time all I want to do is just watch tv all day and try not to think about anything. Anyone share this feeling?

I've been playing a lot of video games because of my depression from unemployment. I still hold out hope that I can write a good novel however.
>>
You don't read to make money, making money is a byproduct of being learned. Were you reading for the sake of reading? Hundreds of books lead you to this state of lethargy and abandonment? Something's not right, take some time to reflect and try to find out what's really happening.

Write about this hope you speak of. 3000 words should do it.

>>9748960
i know i laughed maybe once or twice reading this,but cant quite remember the exact passage that triggered it.What did it for you?
>>
If this James Joyce passage doesn't make you laugh, you have no heart:

I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck up in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue come bursting out through your lips and if I gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

I ordered all these recently. What are some more awesome folios? I couldn't get heart of darkness because it was out of stock. I also really wish I could have that master and margarita one which came out in 2010, but that one isn't available anywhere second hand except for two on amazon for 400 dollars. I have a big wish list of them, but I was just wondering what other ones people think are cool.

I really like their LotR set, the binding is great and minimal, with excellent illustrations. Hoping to find a copy of their Gormenghast trilogy one day.

Recently ordered their From Russia with Love and Letterpress Hamlet, looking forward to them.

I am not offended by this because I have not read Infinite Jest and generally do not care about it.

Who cares, DFW would probably be honored. The fact that she/you think you're offending people with this shows how little you understand about literature.

Very very good move wearing those giant glasses to hide how fucking old and saggy her face would look, next to that much younger looking girl

I have a very insatiable need to feel enlightened in way that I discover one of many mysteries of this universe. I want to be above most of people in terms of thinking and perceiving things, having next level consciousness. I know it sounds pretentious but it's just something I got.

Got any book that can feed me?

It's just a need I have, it's not that I am proud of it. I just want to be done with it in one way or another. Getting what I want would be the best option though.

>"Any organization/power structure is primarily focused on the interest of one/the few. No matter the best intentions and mission statements, these are still the intentions of the leader/founder. Never mind corruption—even the most benevolent non-profits are, at their root, essentially self-serving. Truly selfless and ethically unbiased leadership is only attainable via A.I.: no needs, no notions, no emotions, and above all, no desire. Further, truly perfect power structures do not contain people within them; nor are they power structures at all, but rather automatons spanning a universally enabled impartial synthetic ‘populace.’”

what's the point then? a lifeless simulacrum of a 'perfect' society running on forever but there are no subjects around to experience it.
>>
"Socialism" without working-class power is not socialism.

Humans are too unaesthetic to survive in such a society and should therefore be destroyed.

We're reading Schopenhauer's On Women for my 12th grade lit class and it seems to be a bit too sexist. My question is this, is there any material I can read to counter my teacher? I want to BTFO him in front of everyone. I mean, it's not that I disagree with everything in On Women, it's just that I want to dominate my teacher.
