You're describing christianity lol. Christianity produced modern secular culture, they're your degenerates. You did this, you absolute faggots.

Literature was in some ways maybe the best place to engage with the ideas of copernicus.

It really is astonishing how many of you obviously haven't fucking read Three musketeers. This idiotic point about there being 4 adventurers and 3 musketeers is like criticizing A Christmas Carol because Ebenezer Scrooge isn't one of the three spirits of Christmas.

I don't write in the books themselves, writing in margins is a pretty ineffective way of taking notes, there's not enough room and it spreads your notes over random pages.
>"oh where was my note on what this term meant? I wrote it some 100 pages ago"

Just write in a seperate notebook where you have all the room to write and organize it sensibly. Plus it doesn't clutter your books with probably garbage notes.
What do you do if you spell a word incorrectly and have to scribble it out, what a fucking mess you would make of your books. In a notebook a scribbled out word is not a big deal

TOTALLY lifechanging. Since I husband died, I was so lost. Until my Israeli yoga guru gave me this book, and my life was changed. He gives me free sessions whenever I want. I was lost for a long time after my dog died, but Yatzchak really opened my "third eye" and helped me see who I really was. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LADIES!

Nolan is an actually a Borges fan.
>Another source of inspiration is Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The director has called Memento a "strange cousin" to Funes the Memorious, and has said, "I think his writing naturally lends itself to a cinematic interpretation because it is all about efficiency and precision, the bare bones of an idea."

The job market is hopelessly cooked. Zoomers like her need to focus on becoming more attractive so they can marry a financially stable man and start having his children. No concerns about job interviews/applications, office politics, or job loss from A.I./jeets as a wife and mother.

1. Likeable characters
2. Worldbuilding
3. Plot, as long as it passes a minimum bar of interest. Once the story has sucked me in the plot becomes optional.
4. Titties

>and severely harming them if they even think of disobeying
I haven't really seen Japanese ones that aren't straight up porn. Typically it seems very tame, more tame than even vanilla romance at times.

It's quite an engaging read and up there in terms of Ballard's ouvre, less science fiction than his earlier works but captures the essence of aspirational psychopathology that would define his later novels. It's been a long time since I read it, think it was the first Ballard novel I ever read. If you like High Rise you will probably enjoy his works more generally. Have not seen the film adaptation.

A mythopoesis of the function of patriarchy in High Fordism as foundationally rooted in the most modernist of arts: architecture. You ought to be prepared for what normally happens in myths, I'd suggest reading Robert Graves White Goddess.

yes, it's great, make sure to check out his other great novels - Super Cannes, Concrete Island, Hello America, The Drowned World, also his short stories are amazing

You don't have to commit to Amazon only and can publish print and digital on both Ingram and Amazon at the same time. Just make sure you own the ISBN rather than letting Amazon give you one for free. Then you can publish it in multiple places.

Didn't this turn out to be a scam with the guy stealing everyone's work? Not to offend anyone or anything, as I'm honestly ignorant of the situation, I just recall some explosion of negativity concerning this a year or so ago.

If you put aside 5 hours to read instead of goon or game that's 100 pages. Depending on the book it's not that bad at all for a first time. You could realistically read a thousand pages book in 10 days. If you can't stay focused on the same book then read multiple books at once and switch them up when you get tired. That's what Rousseau did. Also don't use 4chan because (You)s are always going to be at the back of your head.
You'll get better at it with time -- provided you don't stop doing it. It's a muscle

>>24631688
I managed to get to page 22 and now it's telling me to read a 28 page long appendix... it's gonna be so hard... :(

>>24632128

Close that book and pick another book if you genuinely feel like it's a laborious task. Come back to the same book later, and you'll find it easy to get through it.

>>24631605

As nobody here asked it, I'll say it then. What's the book that you bought?

>>24632172
Okay it looked pretty intimidating but 7 pages into the appendix i'm mostly getting it and it's pretty enjoyable to read actually.
>>24632222
The book is behave by robert sapolsky! I thought it was more about psychology and evolution but turns out it goes into the actual neurons and shit which i know nothing about so i was really intimidated but he actually explains it pretty well so yeah it seems readable.

>>24630742
I think the one by Burton is gay as fuck (I didn't read it though) but some french guy got rid of these parts and turned it into a nice book of neverending stories.
200 years ago all of Europe knew about Scheherazade and the 1000 nights and it was gradually enhanced with more stories and turned into what we know today.

>>24629622
I really did want to like it but the stories are just kind of very bizarre and hollow. They have some cool moments, but the characters are just like
>I got mad and killed him with my sword, then I saw it was my son and cried, and I got mad so I killed many more men, then I saw my wife fucking a black slave and I killed them both and cried
The characters are impossible to care about and have no discernible personality or virtues, while the myths themselves are usually too weird for me to find entertaining. Like the one with the old man of the sea or whatever that jumps on people's backs when their guard is down then sits on their shoulders and beats them with his legs, eventually strangling them or something. It's like the most random shit possible somehow became culturally embedded

You have it backwards. Antoine galland’s baby version was written in the 1700s from an abridged text known as Calcutta I. Burton’s was made from the complete Calcutta ii version discovered in 1832.
