>ermm anon why don't you have a single female author in your book case? >but you have all the Pynchons? Seriously??? Are you literally an incel or something?
>>24852704I don't see how Jewish people are somehow entitled to a state. Most ethnic groups do not have their own state. There is no inherent human right to statehood.
But I do read female authors.
Impossible. I would never have a woman at my house.
>>24847622>ermm anon why don't you have a single female author in your book case? Because we have no authors period in our book case, since we have no bookcase. Me and my wife (female) are above paying money for characters printed on recycled paper. >but you have all the Pynchons?We don't, please leave now.
>>24852704>The whole problem with the debate over Zionism is that people use the same term to mean vastly different thingsAnon that's true for debates over fucking anything ever, yet most other debates did not lead to a century of warfare in the Middle East somehow.
What does /lit/ generally think of books written by anons/namefags? Do they shill their own work here, and how are they received? Assuming the work is freely available.
>>24854775Bodied that ESL
>>24854766No lmao, it's more abstract. Migration is not really a mystery. Look, the book is a pastiche of many different themes that do not seem connected at first glance. You have to connect them yourself. Whether you are starting from the top to the bottom, or vice versa, it is really up to you to decide. Does God exist because humans created him or did God create humans so that he can exist in their minds, this sort of structure is how the book presents itself. It is a vehicle for these kind of ideas that have no order.
>>24854775And yet here you are, discussing it with me.
>>24854786Having only read part of the first chapter.
>>24854790Give up already, it's not for you.
>“Youth was the time for happiness, its only season; young people, leading a lazy, carefree life, partially occupied by scarcely absorbing studies, were able to devote themselves unlimitedly to the liberated exultation of their bodies. They could play, dance, love, and multiply their pleasures. They could leave a party, in the early hours of the morning, in the company of sexual partners they had chosen, and contemplate the dreary line of employees going to work. They were the salt of the earth, and everything was given to them, everything was permitted for them, everything was possible. Later on, having started a family, having entered the adult world, they would be introduced to worry, work, responsibility, and the difficulties of existence; they would have to pay taxes, submit themselves to administrative formalities while ceaselessly bearing witness--powerless and shame-filled--to the irreversible degradation of their own bodies, which would be slow at first, then increasingly rapid; above all, they would have to look after children, mortal enemies, in their own homes, they would have to pamper them, feed them, worry about their illnesses, provide the means for their education and their pleasure, and unlike in the world of animals, this would last not just for a season, they would remain slaves of their offspring always, the time of joy was well and truly over for them, they would have to continue to suffer until the end, in pain and with increasing health problems, until they were no longer good for anything and were definitively thrown into the rubbish heap, cumbersome and useless. In return, their children would not be at all grateful, on the contrary their efforts, however strenuous, would never be considered enough, they would, until the bitter end, be considered guilty because of the simple fact of being parents. From this sad life, marked by shame, all joy would be pitilessly banished. When they wanted to draw near to young people's bodies, they would be chased away, rejected, ridiculed, insulted, and, more and more often nowadays, imprisoned. The physical bodies of young people, the only desirable possession the world has ever produced, were reserved for the exclusive use of the young, and the fate of the old was to work and to suffer. This was the true meaning of solidarity between generations; it was a pure and simple holocaust of each generation in favor of the one that replaced it, a cruel, prolonged holocaust that brought with it no consolation, no comfort, nor any material or emotional compensation.”
>>24849203But you can still do all these things he listed as an adult even with kids and a full time job? You can still play, dance, love and multiply your pleasures. I don’t see the problem.
>>24849231this, ive never seen an excerpt from this guy that made me interested in reading his books, it's literally 'ok...so?' writing
>>24854767He basically just writes about ineffectual white men feeling sad and angry about not being fuckable. You can see how it would be so popular here.
>>24854760In fact, I became an even bigger degenerate ever since I started working. I could afford better drugs, prettier girls and overall a higher quality of life. How shit do your kids have to be for your entire view of parenting to be tainted?
>>24849671You can always kill yourself retard. Living is a voluntary action which you choose to engage in every day

Post interesting and obscure books you learned about from /lit/.Also on a related note I came up with something called /lit/‘s law. That being that, if a book exists that is worth reading, it has almost definitely already been mentioned by someone on /lit/ at some point.
>>24850881is it a how to?
>>24851258Not really. The main character did put a lot of effort into the whole thing, and it's described thoroughly, but it's just not realistic for the average psycho. The people who took after the book didn't bother to replicate it - they just used it as a cheap justification
>>24849829>/lit/‘s law. That being that, if a book exists that is worth reading, it has almost definitely already been mentioned by someone on /lit/ at some point.That's quite a bold claim. There are a lot of books out there.

Do you own books from La Pléiade ?Which ones ?
What is the German La Pléiade?If not are there any relatively affordable, well built and thoroughly annotated editions of classics in German?
>>24854657Where did you get it?
>>24854673Deutscher Klassiker Verlag?
>>24854744Seems quite pricey and rare sadlyI started studying German so I might look out for some good deals
>>24854785Also could you tell me how much a new hardcover edition costs in Germany and how much you pay for a typical used copy?

For reading in general, what's the best to retain information?Should I get a journal and note stuff after reading? What methods do you guys use?
Explain the contents of the chapter you just read to an imaginary friend
>>24850747I have a google doc with notes from about 40 books, anything from expert literature to poetry. I go through it all every couple years to see if I can connect some new dots and let me tell you ... it's kinda not working. Whenever I need to refresh core points a book makes or I need to look up a particularly quote I know I noted, the google doc proves extremely useful. But apart from that it's a bunch of notes that don't do anything. They definitely don't form a cross-referencing base of knowledge that I hoped it would become.For books that cover a lot of ground in great detail I usually make a separate doc and then try to organize the points and go through them a couple times to figure out the best way to implement some of the implications in my life. Because that's the best way to retain information - to live it, to make it part of your life, part of your automatic perspective that doesn't have to be propositionally recalled.
This is relevant to my interests

so now that philosophy has been going for a couple thousand years, what is their conclusion? have they've even gotten anywhere? i suspect it's all a meme.
>>24854501Many people don’t believe in or respect truth, they get a kick out of lying, duper’s delightI think that’s what’s going on a lot of the time when people go on about Flat Earth or Ancient Aliens, there is actually a good reason to shun them as friends as they aren’t just idiots, they do not value honesty
>>24854501>Take Theucydides, fro example. Any nation that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools. QUite poerful of a statement, and obviously so true and concise.Thucydides never said that, but I guess that bare fact still makes your point about 90% of people being morons.
>>24852239But what is provided is a more explorable gestalt of these unseen things which affect our lives nonetheless. Absorbing some philosophy, enough for conversation, remains important. Does it not?
>>24852237You are comfortably shitposting instead of being chained up like an animal and enslaved, so you have definitely benefited from advancing philosophy.
>>24852237The only two disciplines that matter are aesthetics and ethics, and those have been concluded before or with Schopenhauer.
