This.
>>25017533It's pretty easy to find inconsistency that is indicative of a liar if they talk long enough. Generally with an unreliable narrator you can get a good idea of what actually happened based on factors within the text or autism by the narrator
are you guys just pretending not to know it's a joke or are you actually autistic?
>>25017570I don't really think about it one way or the other. The important question here is, do you wash it?

Now that enough time has passed, is Jesus G. Maestro the inheritor of Harold Bloom's legacy?
>>25017783I was going to translate his short stories a while back for the keks but he deleted them. They are absurdly bad

Im a bit ashamed to ask such a thing here, but are there novels with realistic portrayal of sex?I wanna get better at it and i think reading how it occurs and what women tend to like may help meThanks.
>>25013910>I wanna get better at itWhat would be the point?
>>25014953>>25015004See>>25014928
>>25014928If one thing is clear about OP, it's that he's heterosexual.Nobody can vouch for you, however.
>>25013910>what women tend to likeGo on AO3 or read any romance/romantasy shit
>>25013910You might be retarded, OP. Very likely.
Best works on ontology?
I exist therefore I do exist
>>25015559He literally was not an existentialist lmaoThis board went to shit
>>25015599If you think that then your concept of proof is wrong.
>>25015599so Metzinger is wrong?
>>25015596I'm asking for relevant works on the subject of ontology. you can either offer texts or you can bugger off.
Which book?

>>25012243It’s hard to explain how much went over your head. Shameful. Plotfags truly are the worst, dumbest readers.
Metamorphosis. Like seriously this bug fuck couldn’t just write down what was going on?
>>25009703>>25009952Not really.
>>25011488That's not even the biggest problem with all the characters, it's the fact that they're all fucking manic.
Books are too fucking expensive now. Even ebooks are $30+ now. >Just stea-Die, shitskin.

>>25007512My city has a massive book sale twice a year where they sell them 3 books for $5. It's where I buy 90% of my books.
Are there any books that are so terrifying they could make you have an existential crisis or could even change you completely? I'm curious if such a thing can exist, as the power of words and mere suggestion can have extreme effects on some people if they're susceptible enough and the right combination of words are used.

>During the preparation for his execution, the executioner, Charles-Henri Sanson, dislodged the bandage securing his shattered jaw, eliciting an anguished scream until his demise.>Following his beheading, the crowd erupted in applause and jubilant cries, which reportedly endured for fifteen minutes.Books where the villain gets what they had coming to them while crying like a bitch?
I've had my jaw broken and it really is the worst pain, I had to put away s lot of hard alcohol just to sleep and I would still wake up in an hour. And that was just a fracture
>>25013355You need to leave the house more than once a year
>>25013180He could've just made that up. There was hardly any eyewitnesses.
>>25013355Thats one of the reasons I think Pol Pot had a point. Socialism's dialectics would eventually destroy the intellectuals and the urban proletarian to bring things full circle back to feudalism. Marxists have a horrible understanding of history. Linear history is not true. Cyclical history is. We just need one in the west.
I simply refuse to side with the ones who killed nuns.
How does the average gamer and he average reader compare in terms if intelligence and knowledge? Do the "great works" of gaming compare to those in literature or even its mediocre ones?
>>25017727The penchant physichuds have for rattling off their resumes like private equity fags at every conceivable opportunity really makes me think it’s probably not them.Anyway, thanks for the long boomer post circuitously complaining about black people. I’ll put that 45 seconds on your tab.
>>25013980What about people that do both? I have a Steam account and a kindle account. I don't think they're mutually exclusive. And yeah I've played The Witness.
>>25015853Yet its at the core psychology of all reproduction, imagine that.
>>25014090You're giving him too much credit. The redditor in question enumerates modern science-fiction writers, Vonnegut, House of Leaves and a couple of NYT Bestsellers as his favorites. Arguably the only half decent positions on his list are Frankenstein and Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America. 19th-century Estonian erotica sounds fascinating in comparison to what he's actually reading.What's even funnier, he used to be null at his previous primary hobby as well:>And truth be told, in most cases, my own lack of skill often locks me out of progressing through games, even in story mode difficulty.What compels a person like that to write a long-winded post to humblebrag in front of internet strangers is beyond me.
Portal, The Return of Obra Dinn, some Brendon Chung games, Outer Wilds, Edith Finch etc all utilize the medium for narrative as ingeniously as the best of literature.

post and rate
>>25016072Best of luck. Also, I'd recommend jotting down notes as you read. Even just a few sentences about how you felt while reading can help to bring the force of the story back to your mind years later. Wish I started doing that earlier in my own reading.
>>25015923How is it?
>>25015693Nice. You planning to have kids?
>>25017757Yes, but its 2026 so who knows if its possible given the microplastic/hormone problems we have to overcome these days. We're not taking it for granted that we will.
>>25017764I've had seven ex girlfriends. They couldn't stop cheating and because of that I beat two of them. I don't want to be a monster but I don't understand why society doesn't penalize them for this.
Why is there so much sex in her books?Im starting to think she might be a nymphoAnd they say men are the coomers

>>25016849>he doesn't think abortion existed in the pastMen used to chuck infants off cliffs
>>25016192The problem is men don't want to raise kids that aren't their own because its an insult to their masculinity. And that's perfectly fine, men shouldn't have to.

>>25016974Ex mo hereIt's a cult
>>25017742How so?>>25017338He restored the true understanding of Christianity. More people should study his affinities to such lights as William Blake and Goethe.27 And all this have they done that they might pervert the right ways of the Lord, that they might blind the eyes and harden the hearts of the children of men.>What does Joseph Smith say are the flaws in the Bible?This is a difficult question to answer. It is almost certain that the scriptural record, including the gospels (given their contradictions) is imperfect.28 Wherefore, thou seest that after the book hath gone forth through the hands of the great and abominable church, that there are many plain and precious things taken away from the book, which is the book of the Lamb of God.
>>2501701314 And it came to pass that Ethem did execute judgment in wickedness all his days; and he begat Moron. And it came to pass that Moron did reign in his stead; and Moron did that which was wicked before the Lord.15 And it came to pass that there arose a rebellion among the people, because of that secret combination which was built up to get power and gain; and there arose a mighty man among them in iniquity, and gave battle unto Moron, in which he did overthrow the half of the kingdom; and he did maintain the half of the kingdom for many years.16 And it came to pass that Moron did overthrow him, and did obtain the kingdom again.17 And it came to pass that there arose another mighty man; and he was a descendant of the brother of Jared.18 And it came to pass that he did overthrow Moron and obtain the kingdom; wherefore, Moron dwelt in captivity all the remainder of his days; and he begat Coriantor.
>>25016974If one assumes that Smith was not who he claimed he was, the existence of the Book of Mormon becomes a fascinating question.Harold Bloom never doubted his sincerity and suggested "magical dream states" were involved in the production, but this interpretation seemed to disregard the existence of the plates, which to Smith were real and which had definite location in the house during translation--which would seem to make less likely the idea that Smith was merely deluded and sincere. How did the Book of Mormon come to be? For a 23 year old to write a 270,000 word book of real merit of consistent tone and complex structure, is no small accomplishment.
What are the best books produced by members of this glorious church? Someone recommended me the works of Johanne Arndt.

Then when he started learning his bishop ordered him to start because a priest had no business wasting his time on Greek. This didn't deter Rabelais though and he successfully got transferred under a different bishop who gave him permission to learn Greek
