My first thoughts were A Scanner Darkly - Phillip K. Dick, but the split in the singular got me thinking of Herman Hesse. Steppenwolf, then Narcissus and Goldmund.


>As to pic related

I love Kierkegaard's teleological suspension of the ethical, taking Abraham to the mountain top and lifting the knife. For this, we call him patriarch. Judith lifted the knife for God as well, and let it fall to save her people. WHY ARE WE NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS

>>10008647
Damn, that's an interesting perspective. I always wondered how far on the spectrum it was, sorry I cannot think of anything better. :(

>>10008654
Been meaning to read more Hesse, read Siddhartha several years ago and would love to see what else he's got. I also want to get into reading PKD too, seen several of the movie adaptations but would love to read the source text, especially considering how "eccentric" (or nuts) he was. Thanks for the recommendations anon!

>>10005753
The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Bardo Thodol)

>>10008673

If you're not familiar with PKD my recommendation list is as follows:

Steppenwolf
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
A Scanner Darkly
Narcissus and Goldmund

You'll appreciate all of them individually and in contrast this way.

>>10008686
Thank you kind anon, I wish I had recommendations for you in return.

>>10008694
got any recommendations for me?

3 body problem. Some decent sci fi. Translation seems a bit wonky buts its nicely rooted in semi real science.

I wonder how long before the bloody neomarxists have their way with this statue.

>>10014216
Thanks for the effort, but that's not really what I'm looking for. It is the initial event yes, survivors end up on a deserted island; but if you've watched more than the first season of Lost, it's quite different.

>>10005729
Anna Karenina

Is this from the graphic novel version of City of Glass?

Either way, City of Glass, Paul Auster.
