Yeah and imagine how much of a whiny bitch you now seem to some half-retarded African who's never used an electric outlet in his entire life and eats dogshit for dinner every night
He would love to be bothered by a book enough to whine about it on the internet, but he doesn't even know how to read
Suffering isn't a competition, you privileged faggot

you dont get it, pessoa is a voice of those that "have nothing to write about". One of first sentence from this books goes like "its autobiography without facts, and if i tell nothing this book its because i have nothing to tell". Its kinda amazing honestly, writers are killing themselves to come with some story, and believable world to put self-insert into, but pessoa dont care, he just write about his feelz

Quick question: which edition and translation of the book of disquiet is best? I imagine curating a bunch of notes left behind in some eccentric's trunk would be a nightmare that would require a good editor.
