Does anybody else feel like Pessoa's "Book of Disquiet"

>>9573621
Not really. He seems more like a whiny bitch

>>9573862
t. embryo

the most powerful self-insert in the whole body of literature, yes

>>9573621
read Beckett

No. Read more.

Damn right OP. If more people read Pessoas works, maybe /lit/ wouldn't be an autistic shithole

>>9573862
this tbqh

also literature doesn't have an "endgame" because there's more to life than vidya you /v/edditor faggots

>>9574147
>Damn right OP. If more people read Pessoas works, maybe /lit/ wouldn't be an autistic shithole

you could reduce this to "If more people read, maybe /lit/ wouldn't be an autistic shithole"

the problem as with any internet board is that it self-selects for people who are bad at managing their time

the least autistic people are too busy reading or doing something else useful to hang around a place like this

>>9574180
So does that mean , if people actually read, they wouldn't post shit on /lit/? Is this how everyone on /lit/ gets exposed as pseuds?

>>9573621
it's notes from the underground for 500 pages

worst lit meme i have fallen for

>>9574222
>it's notes from the underground for 500 pages
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Oh i get it because he wrote a play called endgame haha no.

Beckett is good, but he only achieves Beckett, if that makes any sense. He deals with death, loneliness and meaningless and does it extremely well, probably does it the best, but to say he does all that literature can do is idolatry.

kind of yeah

>DUDE I COULD HAVE DONE KANTS SYSTEM I JUST CHOSE NOT TO LMAO

Pessoa, and by extension spic poetry, is a memetic garbage of the highest order, bombastic and sophomoric, spics can meme about muh sonority and DUDE YOU JUST WOULDNT GET IT all they, it's just a way a subhuman monkey does damage control. Specifically Pessoa is just Eliot if Eliot was less erudite but a more insufferable whiny ponce for it.

>Does anybody else feel like Pessoa's "Book of Disquiet" is the end game of literature?

No offense but you really should post less and read more.

>>9574155
>also literature doesn't have an "endgame" because there's more to life than vidya you /v/edditor faggots

"Endgame" is an idiom that comes from chess. Its usage in English predates vidya.

>>9573621
I loved books like this. I'd get my hands on every piece of genuinely depressing, nihilistic and soul crushing piece of literature I could find. It made me happy because I felt so empty inside and I wanted to feel not so alone in my existential anguish. Then, one day, I rediscovered God and now I'm soon to be married to the most wonderful woman I ever met. We are looking forward to having many children.

>>9577308
I want to be like you

>but to say he does all that literature can do is idolatry.
>but saying that about Pessoa is fine

>>9577308
Hey, congrats man

Dropped as I wasn't interested continue on about someone being just a sad sack of shit being disinterested in everything

>>9577340
Studying Eastern religion helped me to reach a much more reasonable understanding of God. I'd always been very dismissive of religion, with the way it has been packaged in the West. However, I'm a Christian now. I know that this will be a lasting relationship because we have a very strong shared faith and she waited for marriage. The problem with most modern women (and men for that matter) is that they became too materialistic. And materialism is a very poor basis for any lasting bond.

>>9577350
Thank you

looks like u got tricked

If someone can't wait on principle, then pleasure rules over them. You should look at some statistics for the correlation between infidelity and number of non-marital partners. They are truly shocking. I would share some but I'm on my phone.

>>9577357
>Dropped as I am a pseud brainlet whose head hurts when he reads too much
ftfy

>>9577418
yes, and indians have a million stats how arranged marriages have less divorce than love marriages. i'm sure muslims have stats about how in countries were homosexuals are executed there are stronger marriages too. it's almost like if you live in a world of oppressive spooks people aren't free to do anything. wow.

>>9577401
>implying that getting laid is more important than ensuring a good mother for your children

>>9577427
>implying a repressed shrew will be a good mother

>>9577426
Tell me that the west is headed in a goos direction, that we have responsible parents, white people aren't just being bred out of existence in their own homelands, that culture isn't becoming commercialised and brain numbing. "Spooks" hold society together and ensure its survival.

>>9577432
>implying that a "career woman" feminist who opens her legs for strangers every weekend, will divorce her children's father and leave the children in daycare instead of raising them will be a good mother

>>9577390
Can I have specific recommendations?

>>9577465
Bhagavad Gita
Uppanishads
Zhuangzi
Daodejing
Shobogenzo

>>9577390

god you are such a meme

>>9576914
Coming from an insufferable whiny ponce. And you were rightfully ignored by even the easily triggered latinos, which just shows how shit you are at baiting.

I admire the rage but there's something about this piece that lacks an edge. I'll give you a 6/10 but I can definitely see 8s and 10s from you in the future.

>Beyond plot, beyond character development, beyond desperate attempts to entertain and humour, beyond sequences of events and behaviour, his book just seems like the answer to the question of what literature can and should do.

Anon, don't be that dumb. Every diary-like book is exactly like this. See
Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge, The Pillow Book etc

>>9573621
It's just a diary--edgelord ramblings. I've never been more memed into a work than BoD.

I like Pessoa, but BoD is too often an exercise in tedium and far from his best work.
