I don't know if I fully understand what you're looking for, but for fiction, pic related is highly underrated as a weird text. I'd also add typical stuff like Borges, Philip K. Dick, Robert Anton Wilson, William Blake, etc.

I think I may understand what you're looking for more in nonfiction:
Cosmos and Psyche by Richard Tarnas is a good text on astrology and history, also a good starting point for someone who doesn't necessarily believe in astrology.

>Passport to Magonia by Jacques Vallee
>The Eighth Tower by John Keel
>The Goblin Universe by Fredrick Holiday
All of these books are basically theories of high strangeness itself.

Also because I read it recently and it's on my mind, Kabbalah and Criticism by Harold Bloom is a really interesting book. It's mostly about literature and influence, so you'd like it if you're interested in those topics, but it also serves as an interesting interpretation of Kabbalah itself.

Bret Easton Ellis, most known for American Psycho
His novels don't really have anything to do with ghosts or the occult, but they're full of nihilistic edgelord psychopaths and that stuff always overlaps with the paranormal crowd

A likely story. /wng/ troons just spammed here until someone took pity on them and gave them their fake thread back.

Personally I'd have just banned them all. It's a shame they didn't.

Obvious lies. You created the problem, you got punished for it, then you went and made up some story about it being a false flag. What defense do you even have? "No we'd never spam" but you did. You spammed right here.

You should have all been banned. Fortunately you have your fake thread where you pretend to talk about web novels back. Go waste space there shitbreath.

Her thesis is accessible online. Go ahead and tell me it actually says anything of substance instead of regurgitating leftoid points for 6 gazillionth time using academia's version of corpospeak.

Khellus is the villain of the story. His mistretment of Akka should make this obvious, but it becomes 10,000x as apparent later.

Series 2 basically never has him as a viewpoint character which makes it a bit more interesting. Stick with it, it's good.

>>24862769
No

Any recommendations for character focused fantasy? No big wars or giant dragons, give me dwarven veterans struggling to reintegrate into peaceful society and subsequent axe murders to feel alive or something.

Does it not seem like a fool's errand trying to restore the conditions that directly led to the present? There will never be a popular mandate for a return to absolute monarchy and bloodletting, and the religious institutions that upheld them have reformed themselves radically. There's neither a popular nor a religious mandate for this, absent some rootless embarassing zizian cyberpunk Thiel cult. What's the plan on getting popular consent for this and preventing modernity from arising again once it's in place?

Fabian nonsense. State-socialism has always proven to be useless, no, detrimental, half measures

>>24862775
The talk of a universal religion ‘that shall unite man in brotherhood,’ is as woolly as such talk must always be. Religion needs bite, and politics can never supply the necessary teeth. The pursuit of politics produces no abnormal psychosomatic effect in its devotees. At its best, it furnishes intellectual problems for a few bright research-fellows to solve, and makes possible the manufacture of numerous labour-saving amenities. But it also destroys numerous ancient amenities; dulls the minds of its countless mechanical servitors; separates man more and more from his natural context in wild nature; and so far, like science, enthrones intellect as the greatest of all human attributes as to remove all checks on its irresponsible functioning.

This seems ridiculous at first but I'm not sure it is.
Having read a Deng Xiaoping bio recently, I was struck by how much of the political conflict revolves around these plain slogans.
There's one group of officials who coalesce around an article that states: practice is the sole way to determine truth. And then there's another group which follows the idea that "we must hold true to the proletarian revolution and the ideas of Marxism-Leninism and Mao-Zaedong thought"
I ascribed this cartoonish way of speaking to translations and maybe the stiffling political atmosphere of 1970's China, but maybe it is actually the language?

They have no answers because it's just a construction to excuse them from doing anything political.

He's partially right, logographs make Chinese extremely restrictive to write in. Even the Xiandai Hanyu Cidian, which is considered the reference dictionary for modern Mandarin, has like 1/10th the entries of the OED. That's not even going into the government mandated word lists, China only requires people to know about ~1800 hanzi to be considered literate.

>>24858883
Looks pretty kino

>>24858389
I made it through the major classics of Britain, America, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, much of the Native American lore, and a good chunk of the Roman classical. I went through War and Peace as a teenager.

I still couldn't force myself to finish the Chinese classics. They're just so tedious and boring and pretentious.

>>24861237

>>24858891
I wouldn't know, my guess would have been that communism would have gave then coherence or an entirely new kind of neurosis, but I know nothing about modern China and have only read those three bodies novels form modern times and they were awful
Anyway it representing China ethos would make the country a mess, and not make the novel any better

>>24858389
Yes. It's possibly the greatest novel of all time. It isn't any harder to read than other doorstoppers with a massive cast of names. Jot them down and you'll breeze through it in its entirety.

Watch some jerry springer. You will see two women fight eachother over someone who is at best average looking, doesn't have a job, and cheated on both of them.

Seasons 10 and on have some pretty good ones. Its very enjoyable to watch in the background of other things. Season 13's holiday hell 2003 is also highly recommended.
