i-is this the V. reading group?

>>9718842
I'm writing something with a character that is reading a book and I want to book to make sense within the story.

I'm thinking On The Beach is too literal and doesn't deal enough with the philosophical concepts at the book's core.

Maybe The Recognitions?

Ironically enough, Einstein himself advocated for the simplicity (only insofar as things still made sense of course) of scientific ideas, so that we could more or less "get" nature instead of overanalyzing it unnecessarily. Einstein's theory manages to be even simpler than previous accomplishments of mechanics such as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian theories of dynamics.

In short, I don't think we ought to equate complexity of concept to greatness of accomplishment. I do think conceptual complexity has its place, but it should not be in science, much less in comparison to science. Apples and oranges, etc.

Like for example?

You can't fuck women by reading books. Go out and talk to one

>>9718635
But how will talking to books help me fuck women?

Very straightforward and understandable approach to pickup. Although, I felt it was trying to separate itself from typical pickup books when it's just creating it's own system of inner and outer game just like other books.

It starts off very scientific and I wish Mark would substantiate more of his claims as the book went on.

I liked it. It was different enough to be entertaining. The massive chapter on echoes notwithstanding.

I found this at a thrift store for a few bucks and decided to read it. Liked it more than I thought, kind of comfy nostalgia.

I thought her necklace said "daddy"
my guilty pleasures are book adaptations of 80 action/horror movies.

Search for used bookstores. Auction houses also helps for more quality stuff as there are specialised auctions for books.

every time I consider if I remember how much asbestos and dried HIV particles are probably dormant between every single page and say nah

Me in my diary desu

madness is a meme

Flaubert's The temptation of saint anthony was cool but i think i would have enjoyed it more if i knew more history of religion and christianity at the time i read it

apart from that Dostoevsky is the obvious answer

Lovecraft is ok but it's most about people that go crazy when going through some ordeal, what happens once they are crazy is left mostly as an exercise for the reader

Julius Caesar and his single legion crossed the Rubicon!

I think history would be more entertaining this way.
