Why do you read books instead of lifting weights, going to the club and fucking bitches?
I fucks sluts and lift weights every other day but I'm too old and too niggardly for the club, it's just not a pleasant experience, I don't even like churches because of how loud they are these days

I would like to read something abut coincidence and synchronicity, specifically what purpose if any it has in our lives.There have been many strange coincidences in my life, some of them so unlikely that I can't help but sense that there was some reason for their having taken place. I would like to read more about this, or about coincidences, twists of fate etc in general if possible as I don't understand how they should be treated.Two recent examples (which immediately come to mind):>1. Spent the year 2022 obsessing autistically over a certain historical subject, which was very focused on certain country. Subsequently read a ton about that country and the following year a girl from that country turns up at my shitty workplace in a random backwater small town and we begin dating not long after (she was weirded out about how much I knew about her country)>2. Recently reading about a certain personality disorder and how people with it approach romance/love. Found an obscure thread on reddit which covered it in a way that was more precise than anything I'd read about it before. The thread only had ~5 replies, one of which was a very brief (and vague) quotation which was pretty cryptic, as the other replies were all lengthy. A couple of days later I'm on Wikipedia browsing the page of a long-dead poet and I clicked onto a page about his wife and that quote is written there, apparently something he said to her when they met.
They mean nothing.
>>25026406Once picked a book on some free book thing outside in the city park. I picked it up purely because I found the cover image appealing. I only looked at the first page and mistook the book for having been written in 1960. I left it in my bookshelve to read it at some point. Two weeks later I'm at the library reading about this fascinating guy named Jean-Jacques Rousseau. I return home, pick up the book I found, and, I could hear my heart racing, it was Emile, On Education. Best book by far I ever read, loved it.
>>25026406What’s the quote
>>25026450I'm really hesitant to jinx it or break some kind of taboo by posting. Something tells me not to do that.
whatever you do you best avoid jung he's either gonna take you down a retarded rabbithole or gaslight you until you develop schizophrenia fuck that guy

>>25024457The Show unironically handled the others better
>>25024457This but all the magical elements The series should have been a low fantasy pseudo history with lore that references a magical past that may or may not be true
>>25026290I disagree slighlty , I loved magic when it's visions, or when it's weird, my favorite example is a rhlorr priest in quarth making a ladder out of fire when dany walks around the city, he climbs it and then he disappears with it. it's so absurd it's hard to imagine, I also loved resurrections of beric dondarionbut I honestly despised lady stonehaerth, I remember reading the epilogue of storm of swords or whenever she was introduced and it felt so cheap and stupid, this one chapter made me completely lose interest in asoiaf for a few years, I then read feast for crows and dance with the dragons and I loved it, mainly due to victarion, then I completely lose interest again after season 5 of the show was released (2016?), it became clear to me fat george won't finish the books, now I check /grrm/ every few weeks but I have no hype for winds, and for the author I only feel hate and disdain, fuck him, I wish tv show never happened
Martin should star in a porn movie where he sits naked on an iron throne replica drinking wine from a goblet while two zesty bucks service his tiny wrinkly old man dick poking out from under his fat hairy belly. Emilia Clarke, dressed as Dany, should be pouring him refills of wine as needed without acknowledging what’s happening.
>>25026290NahThe entire story only happens because of the magical elementsThey are present right from the first chapter and have a hand in almost every major plot event

He really was a much better writer than Dostoyevsky.
>>25024912It's weird how all genius tier writers preferred Dostoevsky, even though most of them aspired for the same degree of artistic consciousness as Tolstoy
Only one of the due Dosto and Tolsto got sought out by the one and only Philosopher King of 20th century.>>25013222opinion so shit that trip faggot >>25021399 agrees with you. >>25024912it's the other way around...
his Georgism is really the thing that screws his legacy over I feel, especially in regards to the reception of his non-fiction stuff. people hear about some obscure vaguely-leftist economic ideology and (quite rightly) get weary, but its probably the least offensive and most measured of the bunch (like, most people today are ironically bigger communists whether they realize it or not.) Tolstoy just wanted something which'd aide the transition out of feudalism, I don't think its much deeper than that. I have no reason to think he was a socialist in any other sense. maybe you'd point to his association with Gorky or Kropotkin, but it was late 19th century russia - you couldn't leave your house without befriending a Red. (and again, its only gotten worse, socialism is no longer niche, its the standard.)he was a good man, and I do like his books. I hope to one day read them in Russian.
>>25025355Georgism was the hill he chose to die on which is funny because nowadays it’s utterly forgotten and irrelevant. No one even knows who Henry George is. I haven’t read Resurrection yet but I’ve heard there are explicit discussions about it in that book with sounds very dated
