What do I read to regain my motivation? Currently I could probably lay down and die if it weren't so painful to starve.

stop jerking off, wake up early, make a routine and stick to it. you're gonna die someday anon. time to get some shit done.

>>8349521
But I don't mind dying nor do I care for achievements. I'm mostly asking for help because there's nothing else to do. I guess what I'm asking for is a read that'll fix my reasoning, help me fear my mortality or some such.

Can I go through an entire life (70+ years) being a virgin? Or will I go insane first?

What is the best translation of And Then by Natsume Soseki? Also, what is the best translation of The Gate?

>What is the best translation of And Then by Natsume Soseki?

You literally have only one option, so it's a pointless question.

The Gate has only been translated twice too, so just read excerpts of them yourself and decide.

Why not just call it the "/sqt/" (Stupid Question Thread), like on /g/?

The SQT is an established institution. "Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread" is more precise, though, and doesn't carry the stigma of ignorance that coms with the word "stupid".

>>8349266
I dont think so. Not in romantic sense, anyway.

HELP HELP! me find a shorty story that was posted here by some anon.

It was by some female writer (failry well known..i want to say Sylvia Plath but i can't be sure). It was about a teenage pubescent girl who's alone at home and an older guy in his 30s or so comes to her house and teases her and asks her out on a date or something. She locks herself up and thinks of calling the cops but is too scared. She keeps wondering what to do as the guy keeps coming in closer and closer to the door. She keeps talking to the guy and his strange friend who's sitting in a strange old car. It is just before sunset time and the guy is pretty adamant. She gets scared, picks up the phone etc....something something....i'm avoiding the spoilers about the ending.

It was posted in a thread about how to understand women. I didn't save it. It was beautiful.

It's not Plath.

In 'The Last Man' (Thus Spoke Zarathustra), Nietzsche makes a point of critiquing hedonism (contrary to his sort of bohemian 'free love' reputation).

His critique rests upon the fact that the higher man should instead have a 'mission'. What mission does he speak of? What is Zarathustra's mission?

Most of all, what was Nietzsche's mission?

I imagine it would be something to the effect of bringing about the Overman.

Which should I read first? Lolita or Speak, Memory? I want to get the most enjoyment possible out of these books.

What are the recommended translations for the brothers Karamazov and notes from the underground?

>What are the recommended translations for the brothers Karamazov and notes from the underground?

I've learned there's never an agreed-upon translation for the Russian classics.

It seems to be one of the most ambiguous languages to translate.

>>8349195
What's a good, reliable English translation/edition of Don Quixote? I feel it's high-time I read it.

>>8352448
I want to know this too.

>>8352516
You will get zero enjoyment out of Speak, Memory. It's just some cunt Russian finding obsolete words to ramble about butterflies. Nabokov basically obscures his sentences in a cloud of dictionarrhea words and strikes fool's gold maybe once or twice in the entire drag that is Speak, Memory (which he initially wanted to name Speak, Mnemosyne cause he thought he was cool).

>>8352663
I feel it's HIIIGH NOOOON.

Underneath the original 3 Laws of Robotics, can a robot ask a human to order it to destroy itself?

The third law loophole allows a human to order a robot to self-terminate but does it also violate the rule if the robot, through their own choosing, ask for it?

Read the last 2, throw into the fire the first one :^)

Do you read reviews/critical analyses of works you read? Any specific sites or anything you recommend for particularly good analyses?
