It is not exactly well known in modern circles but much of Hemingways writing had fetishistic undertones for the sexual fetishes be possessed. It is well known that in most of his novels the main women has some sort of ratchet short haircut. Lady Brett Ashley,Maria and Catherine Barkley all had very intense details on the short hair they had. Further most of his wives had short hair and it was a subject of contention for His first wife Hadley Richardson and a mainstay with his second Pauline. Further the topic of women on male anal stimulation comes up in some of his works but more overt. The garden of Eden book truly is the embodiment of the Hemingway sexuality. Hemingwaybros how do you cope with the great man’s man writer liking women with boy haircuts and getting his buddy tickled. Personally I enjoy it.
>>24944831Wish I looked as handsome as Hemingway did at 18.
in at least two books his protagonist eats peanut butter onion sandwhiches.
>>24944831I like cute girls with boy haircuts, too.
>>24944831>Hemingwaybros how do you cope with the great man’s man writer liking women with boy haircuts and getting his buddy tickledCope? Prostate stimulation is the fetish of only the most patrician straight men.

Extremely repetitive question, but: If I liked pic related a lot, what do I read next? What's similar to these? The Recognitions? The Tunnel?
Maybe mason and dixon?>>24940409Nothing wrong with taking inspiration from a place where he knows that people have finished the books he specifically mentioned and is looking for inspiration.
Get some DeLillo into your collection. I like White Noise and Ratner's Star. The Crying of Lot 49 is also good for more Pynchon And I've never met a DFW book I didn't like. Maybe devour his whole catalog while you're at it.

What's the hype among these series? Or is it more for the table-top?
>>24946272So from what I got this series are needlessly long and enjoy wasting the readers time. Is this supposed to be an abridgment? I have some patience reading slop but not 25,000 pages of it.
>>24945732>What's the hype among these series?
>>24945732Read either one of these>Ciaphas Cain>Helsreach>Eisenhorn >Gaunt's Ghosts They are all short (200-300 pages) and if you didn't like them then you can discard pretty much the entire setting since you will most likely not enjoy reading anything else.
I haven’t read one in a long time but I remember the appeal.>because it’s a franchise property most of the writers assume the reader has a basic familiarity with the setting, allowing them to dive into plots and more esoteric lore that in a standalone sci book would require a lot of basic worldbuilding (what is the imperium of man, what is chaos, what are space marines, etc)>sometimes reading about 8 foot tall armored knights stomping unambiguously evil foes to death is nice. If I only ever read intellectual literature with no genre breaks I might stop reading altogether.>a handful of the books are genuinely good, (Eisenhorn, Ciaphas Cain, fire caste)
>>24946395I think the Horus shitshow spans over sixty books. It's not worth reading.
I willingly didnt return my library books after the library near me is suddenly going through unexpected renovations and its been sitting on my shelf for close to a year since i was too lazy to drive across town to another library.I was planning on returning the books when the library opens again in a couple months but at this point i'm tempted to just keep em since I've just been buying my books instead for the first time in my life instead of using the library and i'm liking my growing collection.The library books are the illiad, the odyssey, the aeneid and mythology.I wanted to have this certain set of books anyways and at this point i dont wanna pay for it.Is this wrong of me ? Who else is gonna read these old books in my crappy bumfuck town in the middle of nowhere?they probably have multiple copies anyways.
>>24945987YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL.
>>24945852>1 million qurans
>>24945852Heh, that's funny. I also have library books that are months overdue and I was thinking of returning them sometime this week.
I've been in a similar situation once in third grade. At the end of the school year I brought back a book I had forgotten home months before. The teacher didn't remember I had it either, yet instead of being happy she'd gotten her book back she ruthlessly tore me apart in front of the class. Since that day I've never tried to be proactive again. If I'm on time it's fine but if it's late and no one reminds me it's on them.
I still have a copy of This Spake Zarathustra from a decade ago. They sent me to collections for it and it dinged my credit. I refused to pay. I refuse to return. I will not subject the people of my town to Nietzsche.
Is it even possible anymore for someone to break through as a genuine writer and intellectual? There are too many things preventing this happening nowadays >1. The spread of AI and Internet addiction generally making people more illiterate, stupid and adverse to reading books as our mass culture becomes more oral-based through videos and podcasts>2. Most of the books that are being written and published are overt liberal propaganda promoted by the industry with the same core themes (romance, smut, diaspora subversion, self-help, LGBT, fantasy), written largely by affluent women >3. There is no appetite for genuine hard-hitting literary fiction anymore and no way to make an impression, least of all if you're male and try to write something beyond those pre-determined themes
>>24943534>2021: AI will never generate a realistic picture>2022: Okay that's sorta real but I can still tell it's fake if I spend 20 minutes looking at the picture with a microscope, but it'll never do video anyways so it doesn't matter>2023: Lmao that video is retarded it'll never be able to string together coherent scenes and it can't even do audio>2024: Okay maybe it's getting better at coherent videos, and they figured out how to create audio, but it's not like people will even want to watch those videos>2025: Okay maybe these short form AI videos and videos with AI voice over are extremely popular on Facebook and Youtube, but it'll never come up with an original ideaWho wants to guess what comes next?
Only truly inspired human art will prevail in the age of AI and that's okay. And also AI seems unable to capture meter in poetry which has already died anyway but at least us formalists can boast that.
>>24945150Mentioning video and image generation to hide the fact that LLMs have been plateauing for more than two years now is hilarious. OpenAI has burned through 12 billion in a single fiscal quarter. They should be more concerned with generating some “new ideas” to recoup those losses.

>According to Christian belief, man exists for the sake of God; according to the liberal church, in practice if not in theory, God exists for the sake of man.How did a man born only 20 years after the end of the Civil War so accurately predict and describe the ailments of the 21st century church?
how does presuppositionalism and classic reformed apologetic differ?
>>24943639presuppositionalism emphasizes the necessity of starting with Christian presuppositions, while classical reformed apologetics relies on rational arguments and evidence to defend the faith
>>24943018Thanks, might try reading some Bavinck in the near future.
>>24937526hoarding books before AI ruins everything and anti-piracy measures kick in is a really good idea
>>24912383i dunno
>>24944854bump
Since the mid 20th century every liberal academic has some theory about classic literature, and it's always something about the author being gay, or some kind of sexual degenerate. You're all very, very fucked up people.
>>24944854I cope by accepting that he had a predilection for tomboys and had fucked so many broads that he got into weird shit just to stay excited. Would that I could say the same. Still my GOAT.
What books help learning how to be more greedy and get good at being greedy? I want something of sociopathic nature that convinces money is the most important thing in life and why and how to exploit others for greed https://youtube.com/shorts/xs_sRkJi0HI?si

>>24943656It is not, money is nothing, but means to an end. It is pointless to go after it without considering everything else that you actually want.
Money is everything so read these:>magic of money by schacht >4 hour work week by timothy ferriss >a history of central banking by Stephen m Goodson >Understanding central banks springer This explains how money works in the modern world with crypto and venture options. It explains how rothschilds and rockefellers orchestrated modern banking apart from the gold standard. It explains how hitler emerged his own banking system out of weimar before ww2.

Is pic related the best ever map from a fantasy book? I know it's probably the most iconic, but in terms of quality has it ever been surpassed?
>>24943501Oregon is a big rectangle with north/south coasts and a north/south mountain rangeA lot of our real like Earth looks like it was artificial too
>>24942700For me, it's the continent of Zamonia by Walter Moers.

Redpill me on Dr. William Pierce. Are his works worth reading?
>>24944750so what do you think about the theory that the son of david is the King
>>24945157Nonsense and shirk, but Id rather have teenagers running around acting like crusaders and following nick Fuentes than engaging in Zina and being troons

>>24945353Didn't he just take a lot of his thought from Erving Goffman?
>>24943892Because Focault mind fucked you and your ilk, and you can no longer feel humane.
>>24946357I don't know, but as I think, neither should I know or care. Originality does neither add nor subtract substance to his "thought"

What erotic literature has /lit/ been enjoying as of late? I quite enjoyed this one until the abrupt non-ending
>>24944552The mother and the daughters are blood related, the sex they have amongst each other is straightforward incest. The protagonist is their neighbor, however
imagine lolita but blood related and theyre brother and sister and the sister is a sadist and the brother gets forcefemmed
