just wait until it gets gay

Nietzsche is very different from most philosophers. He's also much "easier", except you'll paradoxically lose a lot of nuance if you read him without much philosophical background, and think you understand things you don't.

can't wait
>>9731820
Yeah. I don't want to lose any nuance, so therefore I got a little uneasy about some of the more common chapters. I will say that he has a very poetic style of prose, not at all helped by the classical English. I find myself having to backtrack a bit

the bible

oh, wait a second...

>>9731331
I-I don't get it, are you commenting on the fact the bible already is a collection of short stories or implying that it's fiction?

To be fair Sidd barely breaks 100 pages

The Idiot should have been a novella

First time I get a hard on just by looking at a picture of a sculpture.

much like Young Thug, Joyce's oeuvre is best approached reverse chronoligically

is that the guy who filmed philosophical porn?

>>9729528
> filmed

Has he? I know he did captions for porn photos, but are there actual movies?

>>9729516
Hrs not wrong. He has quite a bit of money and fame. He's also married iirc. /lit/ offers him next to nothing

All the gossip about Penguin classics is mostly false. I mean, they're not Everyman's Library but they're fine built paperbacks.

They can end up looking like pic related.

>>9728905
Can confirm that this is not the case unless you bend like crazy - which would fuck up any paperback. Some books are more susceptible to this issue, but still that extent of damage will only be present if you're a monkey.

there is so much life after college it is ridiculous
just make a program and stick to it once you get out, and you will be fine

Got an engineering degree. Living a comfortable, employed life. I have the money to travel to the places I want to, and my wife is also an engineer. Highly recommend it.

I spend my evenings, weekends, and some time at work reading great books. I can appreciate art, and I have the time and resources to dedicate toward analyzing and deconstructing what I read. Win/win homie

Fell for it hard. Back in school I thought I was above those tards who shilled hard for their own mental masturbation majors. I'm thoroughly displeased with the profession and only now I've begun to realize how much I still believed in that garbage people feed to inflate engineers' egos

Yep

Except you can say more with literature than you can with music

Literature at its best is the polar opposite of music.
