I'm like a strongman fat, I do a lot of weight training. Trying to cut now because I'm plenty big now, just flabby. I'm not super lit but I read

I just got done reading some Psalms and now I'm heading to the gym to deadlift with the bros for a few hours. Then I plan to come home and progress on a short story for one of this months deadlines after I take a shower and eat.
There's nothing more fulfilling than making gains with a barbell and literary pursuits in the same day.
What self-help books are legitimately good and useful?

Thoughts on ol' Joe Smith and The Book of Mormon?

I'm not Mormon because I care about the truth.

>>9730717
Yeah, I was born and raised Mormon. Went on a 2 year mission to the Philippines too. I'm completely inactive in the church and haven't been since my mission ended.
Most Mormons who don't live in Utah and don't go to a university in Utah or one of the church's other universities don't stay active. It's a church for families. Young single people don't stay long.

What are the funniest things you ever read on /lit/?
Two things come to my mind.
a)
The first one I happened in a thread (could not find it in the archives) where the OP asked the question in something like this fashion: “To what writer you would give 10 more years of life for him to produce more books”. One Anon said Kafka, and then other Anon answered in a very funny (in a dark humor vein of funny) way:
>“Nice work, Anon, give Kafka ten more years so he can die in the showers”.
b)
Second one happened in a thread I made, several years ago, about daily routines (the first I ever saw on /lit/, and I was the OP on that particular time). One Anon gave the following answear:
“I arise at the ungodly hour of 5:30am. From here I peel myself away from the comforting embrace of sleep and into the harsh world of reality.
I stumble to the shower and cleanse my body of all positive energies. I then rid my face of excess hair and begin to curse the morning sun. Loudly, and with much gusto.
This is followed by a quick breakfast of triple shot espresso and cigarettes, occasionally bookended with plain toast. 6:30 rolls around and I am trapped within the confines of my metallic coffin, chugging away toward my employment destination.
Depending on traffic I arrive at 7:30. I work at a primary school so children are already congregating outside like vultures. I ignore the little shits until humanely possible and settle behind my desk, preparing for the mental anguish that is teaching simple minded infants how to grip a pencil and not damage the desk with their illegible scribbling.
From 9:00 until 11:00 it is two solid hours of pain before a caffeine break and solitary weep in the toilets that are broken but not actually broken just not used by staff because a dead rat was seen in it once and has been "quarantined" until further notice. This is followed by another hour and a half of pain before the solitary joy of lunch.
It is over too quickly however. Back to the grind. Babysitting someone’s illiterate and foul mouthed progeny until they can be bothered to get off their arse and collect them.
From 16:00 until 19:00 it is the usual routine of marking and assessment. Dante had an easier time. Pure torture.
From 20:30 and my return home it is a quick check of the news and bank details before retiring to bed. An escape into beauty.
On weekends I drink. And plan.”

Your money is mine
You never questioned why there was no official cover
You never questioned why I made the same thread every week
You never questioned why there was no information anywhere about the reprint
You never even noticed when I hacked the old man's website

Guys, I'm not /lit/ at all. I want to read a lot of philosophy. All this internet, buzzfeed, business insider, parents giving dildos to 7 year olds on youtube, etc. It doesn't make sense to me, any of it. There is no satisfaction or fulfillment in any of this.
I need to expand my consciousness. What kind of philosophical literature can you folks recommend? I honestly want to read it all, so I can have more perspective.

I think i should learn a new language. My native is Serbian, i know English pretty good and my French is average. I was thinking about German, Spanish, Russian, Arabic... I like Greek very much, though.
So, which language do you think will become relevant and worth learning in the next few decades? I'm from Serbia, obviously.

Arabic desu. Gotta know your Kebab enemies, Ivan.

Spanish is the second most spoken language of the world, so it is very relevant, i think. Plus, spanish literature is very rich. Both Spain and Latin America have incredible works of literature, which might be worth it to read it in its original form.

>>9742737
Learn Polish. There's many a great book written in Polish, and it'd be relatively easy for you.

What is /lit/'s opinion on Oxford's very short introduction series?
Some of the subjects are kind of memey (see pic related) but other ones like introduction to Descartes was really helpfull especially for some one like me who never went to college.

I think they're good for subjects that have been written about a huge amount and it's hard to get into. I liked the French Revolution one.
