Are you a frogman? I love hearing the frog people talking about killing themselves

>>9596766
I'm not a frogman. If I were, wouldn't I have given you a frog? And why do you feed on misery? Do you like the feeling you receive?

>>9596773
Grow some balls, faggot. You sound like an /r9k/ type

Also, my book picks,

1. Crime and Punishment
2. Faust
3. Gravity's Rainbow

1) Beckett's Trilogy or Murphy/Watt
2) The Iliad (no Start with the Greeks, just Homer, since the last group that attempted to start with the Greeks failed miserably)
3) Spring Snow, by Mishima (if this one works, we could even to another three for the rest of the tetralogy)

1. In Watermelon Sugar
2. Interaction of Color
3. The Colour of Magic

>romance languages descend from latin

NO
FUCKING
WAY
SHERLOCK

italian and spanish are closer to latin then french. french is easier for a native english speaker than latin or italian or spanish.

>>9596598
>>9596604
Yes, but my concern is if it has changed too much then translation from Latin will no longer be accurate. Much of the grammar may have been oversimplified (loss of tenses, moods, etc.).

harold ?

I dunno man. I was closing up shop today and after a crazy costumer rush (I was the only one working) I began to frantically clean up, and while I was mopping and sweating like crazy I began to say "Man was made to work by the sweat of his brow"

Felt pretty good desu

Nice, anon. I too work my ass off for smallish pay at a successful mom&pop and sincerely doubt I'd have it any other way..

>>9596452
It depends on what your concept of God is. I think of it on a spectrum between selfish/willful action and "complete surrender", whatever that might be like. So if you have no/less income, you have less opportunity to exert your own will and must instead rely on the rest of the universe/God's will to provide for you or to let you starve.

Having conversations might help you develop conversational skills.

>>9596454
Interesting point lmao
I need it because I feel im rambling too much.I just need some guides thats all

im surprised there arent more books on the 'art of conversation' or something like that. things that describe annoying games people play, how to avoid them, how to never dame drop, exaggerate, etc. i guess the courtier is a little bit like that but its dated af

I think lit is actually too stupid for DFW now. Notice how out of all the legitimate criticisms you can make of DFW, lit will 9/10 times resort to complaining about his pretentiousness, or how he is being insincere by adding superfluous references that don't relate to his life in any genuine way. And note how they use insincere in order to protest his advocation for sincerity, not realizing that their use of insincere isn't the opposite of his sincerity, which is just to put it briefly the understanding that nowadays even if there aren't privileged definitions of value or truth it doesn't preclude and shouldn't be used as a bridge to not cultivate virtues corresponding to honesty, truthfulness, etc. His whole deal is that irony was co-opted by mass entertainment and was adopted by the culture to disavow real issues and real problems when it was originally used to rebel against dogmatism and propaganda.

imagine hanging out with this guy >>9596252 in real life. go ahead I'll wait.
