Fuck
I haven't read a book all year
Now you reminded me of how much I used to read and enjoy it
Now I can't read a few sentences before getting bored and coming back here
4chan wasn't worth it lads
Save yourselves, it's too late for me

King Leopold's Ghost by Adam Hochschild

Brainlet here. I want to start reading/learning philosophy to feel less dumb. Where to start? Should I even bother?

>>39377134
Forcing yourself to read isn't going to help. You must have interest first.

>>39377134
>where to start

Just go to the nearest bookstore and immerse yourself anon. Find something that'll spark your interest

Its not fair that some people like reading and I don't. I want to like reading. Philosophy sounds interesting. So I figured I might give it a try

If I have never read about philosophy beyond wikipedia and /lit/, will I be able to fully grasp The Ego and Its Own?
I'm 2 chapters in and I feel like I'm getting it, but since he apparently talks a lot of shit about Nietzche and Communism maybe I should've read that before.

>>39377343
The ending is one of the saddest creations ever achieved by humanity.

>>39376642
Yeah 4chan has absolutely destroyed my attention span. 4chan is like playing slot machines for information. No way extended exposure is good for you.

>>39377306
I dont know but having an actual book and holding it is satisfying. Especially when you finish the book and place it on a bookshelf. And your collection of finished books grow.
