King writes like a guy who is still paid by the word. People would take him more seriously if he was a better self-editor.

The Long Walk for sure, other than that, I don't know, his most famous shit

Is it true he did copious amounts of cocaine in the 80's and doesn't remember writing Cujo?

It seems to be the same old crap finger pointing narrative they've been going on about.

I wouldn't even be able to work up the courage to talk to her.

I tried this last year by rambling to her about philosophy and mysticism

We became friends but when it came time to ask her out she politely declined and said she "wasn't looking for anything serious"

Ive never found anyone IRL who actually liked anything written pre 1950
So id go for something still good but accessible like The Goldfinch, or maybe something by Alice Munro or Margaret Atwood

Write like me.

Embrace it. Have your prose narrated from the PoV of a character that IS awkward, has difficultly describing things, "choppy", and detached from the world.

Writing is an art. Do painters give up when they barely even know how to hold the brush, let alone paint?

>>10007255
Um.. the Preface is perhaps what's most difficult, anon. At any rate having read it one should at least be able to make it through the section on master\slave.
Wish I could hang around but there's a place I have to be. Good luck.

>Am I a brainlet?

Yeah, you didn't start with the Greeks. Hegel presupposes his readers having a firm grasp on western philosophy up to that point. You need to start with Parmenides

>>10007255
Well, you probably did not read Fichte, Schelling or Kant and started right with the Phenomenology.
Case is you probably just lack context of what sort of problems Hegel is speaking of.

Read Mogworld when I was in my teens. I remember it being pretty funny and a good parody of MMO's. Don't think I liked Jam at all.

Literally have not thought about that scrawny cunt since about 2008.

As good as any place. Unless you want to be a Nietzsche scholar or something.

thanks. nothing too crazy, I just want to see what he's about, and then take it from there.

Name one Soviet writer who actually liked the USSR

>>10007064

Didn't Putin say something like "If you don't miss the Soviet Union you have no heart. If you want it back, you have no brain." ?

Suffering together brings about commaderie and looking back on it would be nostalgic.

>survey threads

Why not just make it a general "what are you reading and what your thoughts/opinions about it?"

Why add shitty survey crap to it? Why is my name or location relevant to what I'm reading?

Reading great philosophy works this young is a huge mistake.

To extend upon this, any sort of literature that focuses on the expatriate experience, or general feelings of culture clash.

Cheers,
