Anyone want to read Critique of Pure Reason with me the rest of the summer? I plan on doing a little each day so that it'll be finished by September 1. I'm not a bullshitter either, I'm already on the transcendental deduction but want to and will start over again to better grasp the material.

Use calibre to load books onto your ereader
Libgen is a good source of books
Myanonamouse is a closed tracker but it is easy as fuck to get into (they just do a screening interview to check you aren't dumb)
bibliotik is the holy grail but if you have to ask then you're not getting in any time soon

What's a good book to read if I've recently been left by my gf and lost all self-confidence and drive to do anything?

You don't need a book, you need to dip your dick in some sugar walls, my man

probably short stories. maybe some maupassant, hemingway, or borges, depending on your mood.

Apathy and Other Small Victories will make you smile.

Who wants to tackled Capital this summer? This group will read the entire book, discuss it as a book and not argue too much over if it is right or wrong, the purpose is to learn the ideas and get some historical context.
Everything will be prepared for you, all this group needs from you is your commitment and your participation. You can join in and leave as you please, the schedule will be a 7 week schedule so there won't be any problems with keeping up, even if you get behind.
Supplementary material will be found and posted on the day of discussion in the thread (same picture will be used for all threads- pic related) or if we can keep the thread alive daily, then that would be cool to post stuff throughout the week to get more people:
(Class 01 Reading Marx's Capital Vol I with David Harvey) - this is a 1 /13 series of videos discussing the book you can watch if you need a break or don't feel like reading on that day to help through the read if you wish (YT)
Pic related is what i will be using but:
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/Capital-Volume-I.pdf
this pdf has the same thing as a hard copy so you can read the pdf with no problem.
Launch date will be today:
Tuesday June 13th
that means that you will have until Sunday (to get a hard copy if you choose) and to read Chapters 1( commodities) and stopping at Chapter 4(this is the beginning of part 2) - transformation of money into capital), the group will skip the different prefaces.
If you have suggestions about things please post them but the schedule will not be changed, have fun lads.

I wish you well with this enterprise but tbqh I want to read Wealth of Nations first and I have a backlog of math projects i want to get serious about so meh.
I've been floating a similar idea about Habermas' Theory Of Communicative Action, but that has its own background reading as well.
Hm, maybe I'll just say fuck it and jump in.

for the beginning part, 20 pages is all you need a day to keep up, but your choice mate. This probably isn't going to be an easy read and about math, i understand if you dont lol.

>Hm, maybe I'll just say fuck it and jump in.
you're welcome at any time mate.
so how do i make people cry reading my words? should i blast them with nostalgia? should the hero be forever fucked up after the journey? i am emotionally retarded, what do?

you should just write and accept you need to revise everything at least 2-3 times.

Get some life experience before attempting to write

I kinda like Jungers concept of the Anarch vs the Anarchist, but wow this book was a chore to read.

Do you know any book that conveys the same energy as the Beats, but is actually good?

When you say the same energy do you mean the same style of energy conveyed or the same level of energy

>>9633348
I mean level

Well I'm guessing you're looking for prose... I'd say try Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson. It's very American.

We don't do genre fiction here, and if you're looking for something to read - have you finished the western canon yet?

How did pic related achieve such a mass following? Why are his books so iterative? Why does no one else on the planet have a literary style quite like his?

I think he has some predecessors. Kobo Abe comes to mind

Best novels for which no good English translation exists?
Best English-language novels for which no good translation exists in another major European language?

You would be amazed at how much French and Spanish lit hasnt for an english translation at all for this very reason. Usually poets, but even Goncourt pals like Renard have been overlooked.
