Finished Zarathustra today. It's a great read, but I definitely feel like I missed some points Nietzsche was making.

La Divina Commedia
Gierusalemme Liberata
Petrarca - Rime
L'Italia dei Comuni
L'Italia dei Secoli d'Oro

I am currently in the process of gathering the necessary documentation in order to become an Italian citizen, so I thought I might as well start transforming myself into a full cultural Italian.

I also have every intention of prose-translating Dante in full, so that I might 'absorb' the precision of his style. One canto a day for a month. It's perfectly feasible.

There's an anecdote where Mishima dissed Dazai in public for being a crap writer with no sense of aesthetics or poesy.

That's it now you've gone and done it that's the last straw I've been 19 for exactly two months now and I don't need to take this shit from some 18 year old punk who thinks he's so fucking grand. Listen I don’t give a fuck who you are or where you live. You can count on me to be there to bring your fucking life to a hellish end. I’ll put you in so much fucking pain that it’ll make Jesus being nailed to a cross in the desert look like a fucking back massage on a tropical island. I don’t give a fuck how many reps you have or how tough you are IRL, how well you can fight, or how many fucking guns you own to protect yourself. I’ll fucking show up at your house when you aren’t home. I’ll turn all the lights on in your house, leave all the water running, open your fridge door and not close it, and turn your gas stove burners on and let them waste gas. You’re going to start stressing the fuck out, your blood pressure will triple, and you’ll have a fucking heart attack. You’ll go to the hospital for a heart operation, and the last thing you’ll see when you’re being put under in the operating room is me hovering above you, dressed like a doctor. When you wake up after being operated on, wondering what ticking time bomb is in your chest waiting to go off. You’ll recover fully from your heart surgery. And when you walk out the front door of the hospital to go home I’ll run you over with my fucking car out of no where and kill you. I just want you to know how easily I could fucking destroy your pathetic excuse of a life, but how I’d rather go to a great fuckng length to make sure your last remaining days are spent in a living, breathing fucking hell. It’s too late to save yourself, but don’t bother committing suicide either… I’ll fucking resuscitate you and kill you again myself you bitch-faced phaggot. Welcome to hell, population: you

>>9683677
Oh you've read Stirner? That's cute. See this in my hand? Yeah, that's right. It's Stirners masterpiece, The Ego and Its Own, IN THE ORIGINAL. Let that just sink in. I bet you haven't even learned German to be at the level to study serious philosophical texts without secondhand thoughts of the translators. Just repeat after me, DER, EINZIGE, UND, SEIN, EIGENTUM. Couldn't follow, huh? That's what I thought.
Let me just give you some advice, kiddo. Being punk is only a phase, so don't take it to heart. I know what it is to be young. But you, you don't know what it is to be old. I've asked so many questions to the wise men I've met, but couldn't find all the answers, no one has as yet.
There'll be days to remember, full of laughter and tears. After summer, comes winter and so go the years. I'll play the old while you post me the new. In time when your young days are over there'll be someone sharing their memes with you. Someday, you'll be saying the same thing. Time takes away, so the story is told

>>9683741
German? GERMAN? Bahahahqahahahahahahahaha

No, I have not learned such a basic language. Why should I? Every German worth speaking to speaks English, and every German work worth reading has a perfectly serviceable translation. We Anglos are worth serving.

No, I am learning a language worth learning, a language few Westerners in their infinite ignorance ever bother with: Ching Chong. When I am done, I will read the best literature this world has ever seen, and no one will question me, because none of my pasty white compatriots will have read it (nor any Chinks -- you think they could appreciate good literature like I could?).

Now, run along little Kraut, or I will do to you what my ancestors did to you seventy years ago.

Oh, I suppose it makes sense that AN ANGLO would choose to study emotion-driven tonal languages such as Ping Pong instead of pure, truthful and logic-driven languages like Hochdeutsch.
And just to inform you, I'm not a German; I'm just very proficient at a wide range of languages. I'm actually from Finland, a conqueror nation which speaks a god-tier Uralic language with extreme agglutination
Our literature is rich and full of eternal wisdom no puny Indo-European could comprehend, even if our texts wee translatable to such an inconsequential '''''''''''language'''''''''''''' as english

I pity your ignorance, yet I pity your confidence further still. You know nothing of this proud race's language, yet still you shitpost. The grammar is autistic, far beyond anything attained by your pet spergery. Besides: why expect an Anglo to choose anything but the most anal, analytic language around?

I am special because I am Unique, and I am Unique because I buck the trend. I do not study German, nor, God save me, French, nor Arabic as the normal snowflakes do, nor Nip as the normal eastaboos do. Nor Finnish, as the normal Pseuds do.

Oh well yeah I'm sorry. My little sister got me that book for my birthday because she knows I love to read.
She's only 12 so she doesn't really understand my tastes but she knew it was a popular book and she bought it from money that she earned herself from working a summer job at a vet so I'm gonna read it and I'm gonna love it and I'm gonna tell her that I fucking loved it because I'm not a sociopathic fucking asshole.
