>>24786380>faggots love getting their prostates pounded.post hoc justification granted through porn obsession rather than anything grounded in reality. if the "g-spot" were a real phenomenon, fags would cum every time they take a shit.

>To be obliged to fight the instincts—this is the formula of degeneration: as long as life is in the ascending line, happiness is the same as instinct. Okay but how do you avoid decadence? It sounds like the instincts eventually lead to this.
How come /lit/ doesn't have comprehensive collections of downloads? Like /x/ has with occult books of every sort? Am I just missing something somewhere?
>>24786339I hate women so much.
>>24786339because there is no need for that. every book thats talked about on here is beyond easy to find online.
>>24786339So do I, but I have to goon sometimes.

Why did Tolkien make Sauron the titular character of The Lord of the Rings?
>>24785005Why would Sauron laugh if he was under the assumption that Saruman got the ring? Shouldn't he be worried?
>>24785295First thing Morgoth did after finding elves is dragging them to his torture and (spiritual) rape dungeon.

>>24784677>>24784686John Howe is so kino. Like there’s literally no sensible reason why the balrog should have a single arm armoured like an anime character except that it’s fucking sick- and it is.
>>24785843It's Frazetta.
Which e-reader do you have /lit/? Are you happy with it? Is it complicated to get books to it?I am thinking about the Kobo Libra but it seems like getting books onto it is an extremely convoluted process that involves Calibre, KOreader, some plugins, and I don't even know what. And then I looked into Calibre and the first thing I see about it is that it doesn't let you put books in your own folders and it copies your entire library according to its folder scheme. Is there a better library program and a better reader or a better overall experience that isn't like installing Linux? At this point from what I've read I think I should just continue buying actual paper books because this all just sounds like an extreme annoyance. Or maybe I just need to install a good reader program on Windows. What's a good Windows program to read books in like ComicRack for comics?
>>24778719read the prestige by Priest.
>>24777830>getting books onto it is an extremely convoluted processI just copy and paste the books I download with IRC.
>>24786152Why not just watch the movie?
>>24786164The movie changed a lot.They are both good in different ways. >>24786164
>>24786164For one example, one of them starts with doing séances, pretending to speak to the dead. The other annoyed that he pretends that they are real phenomena instead of magic storms the stage to reveal the trickery and in the scuffly the wife/assistant has a fall and a miscarriage.Their early sabotages of each other are a lot more corny. They are more like the nerdy obsessive people that magicians are, and less bowie-like rock stars that everybody thinks are cool.
why did this rendering of Judge Holden by some DeviantArt artist become so popular?
>>24782803It's funny how the best depiction of him is AI
>>24784365Harold Bloom?
>>24783164Lol
>>24782803>what are we, some kind of blood meridian?
>>24784391Excellent ragebait, sir.
Is the "Gen Alpha can't read" meme real? Like are 2025 9th graders actually showing up to high school not knowing how to write paragraphs?Or only the brown ones?
>>24786121>The population of "white" Americans under 30 is around 80 million as of right now>Not going by proportionalYeah and whatever that is I would halve that too
>>24786091What's the solution here? Balkanize North America? Just gather a chunk of all the smart white people into one section of the continent and declare independence?Bring back farm work? Maybe the idiots can till the fields.
>>24786429>Just gather a chunk of all the smart white people into one section of the continent and declare independence?Would never work, whites are genuinely retarded. Don’t forget that despite the last 30 years half of them are still staunch Democrats. Upon getting an ethnostate they would vote for immigration.
>>24785925People have always been stupid.It was normal for less than 5% of the population to go to college. People understanding their newspaper is the most arduous reading one must expect of them (not understand they are being lied to, but understand the propaganda message targeting them).
>>24786429>Balkanize North America?Lol no. They have to go back.
Schizophrenic or enlightened?
I wouldn't call it either of those things, if it works for you then great, I just found out it doesn't really work for me cause I get distracted by the other books so just one book at a time for me personally
im reading dozens (schizo)
>>24783533>Why do you post this nitwit pedophile Freemason's tool hereDon't talk about Leon like that...
>>24783356I like having a more "chill" / slop book and a more complex one for different moods.
>>24783356I have different books for different places. Currently it'sBed - War and PeaceToilet - All the Pretty HorsesCommute - a book about the House of CapetLiving room - a young adult novel in Russian (trying to learn the language right now)That way I can always read wherever I am without having to actually carry a book with me. I also try to read in different languages as to not forget them.
Especially if they are not banal choices like 1984, Animal Farm, Brave New World, etc; so we could all discover some interesting books we might never have heard of.I'll start: 1) Civilization and Capitalism: The Structure of Everyday Life: 15-th18th century - Fernarnd Braudel. 2) Epitaph of a Small Winner - Machado de Assis3) The Luneburg Variation - Paolo Maurensig4) Earth: An Intimate History - Richard Fortey5) River of Darkness - Buddy Levy
>>24782361>In the Miso Soup by Ryuu Murakaminta but someone recommended me this book a couple times almost a decade ago. is it worth reading? funny seeing it pop up after all these years
1) Italian Journey - Goethe2) The Book Of Disquiet - Pessoa3) Blood Meridian - McCarthy4) Butcher's Crossing - Williams5) American Pastoral - RothYou can mock me if you'd like, but I've never read any of these books, and especially I've never actually read Blood Meridian. I sat down and tried to read it a few years ago and it didn't hold my interest. But since it's such a /lit/ meme I'm going to try again. I'm going to give a lot of /lit/'s favorite books a try over the next few months.
>>24786395>1) Italian Journey - Goethe>5) American Pastoral - RothPlease make threads on these during or after reading them.
>>24786536Will do, Anon. Italian Journey is actually up next on the docket after I finish my current book.What's funny is that, actually, THAT book in particular I'm reading kind of for research. I've been at work on a very big story for a while, and my protagonists have gradually been journeying around the world, starting from the Southeast of North America. They're about to make it to Italy, and when I was in the planning stages of that leg of their journey, I remembered Goethe's Italian Journey and thought it would be fun for my protagonists to basically retrace Goethe's route through the peninsula.So, of course, I'll need to know that route, so I'm going to read the book.
>>24782510Nope. That's just an INTP
tis this year’s nobel winner? lmao who fell asleep on the keyboard while naming him
>>24786374The "big four" are Satantango (enjoyable but pretty different than his later works), Melancholy (incredible but arguably his most difficult), War & War (incredible but one of the most depressing things ever put to page), and Baron Wenckheim (farcical and Pynchonesque). Start with whichever of those sounds appealing.Seibo There Below is consistently good short stories.The World Goes On is more hit-or-miss but has some gems.Haven't gotten around to Herscht 07769 or his Chinaboo book yet, please let me know your opinions if you've read them.
>>24785980>>24785649>you literally have to take brainwashing courses in order to hate nazissays a lot huhI bet you also believe in death camps too>>24785996although capitalist men rarely do any damage (and if they do, it's mostly because they are leftist or homosexual)a woman screeching about capitalism is like a fat disgusting hag accusing others of eating
I'm reminded of Flannery O'Connor's The Displaced Person where the southerners act like Guizac is an incomprehensively difficult name to pronounce.
>>24786504This was a good and sad story but when I think about it I just remember the scene where the owner says "you can not marry a white woman and a nigger in this country" and the polish guy is just like "huh? She my cousin. She from Poland. She no care black." I am emotionally 12 years old
>>24786275>he was a Ginsberg fanboywhat is this based on, besides him writing one book while living with him?>very vocally anti-Orbanhe barely gives any interviews, he's not vocally anything

>>24785341what is the difference between>studying frenchand>reading french
>>24785668An ancient languages general is actually a bad place for general language pedagogy advice because l they’ll take languages like French, and imply English speakers should grind flashcards and conjugation tables and only eventually try reading.Just read. Try le francais par le methods nature.

I was trying to find the athenaze stories online in plaintext and I guess someone(s) have already compiled the stories into a high-quality PDF that can easily be copy-pasted, preserving the original characters. I guess I need to make sure that the transcription was done correctly. But if it was done correctly, this save a lot of time.https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/greek/athenaze/readings/runningreadings.pdfso now i can easily copy + paste the texts and put them into my reader app of choice, use a pop-up dictionary more easily, etc. etc.>percentage of time actually learning the language: 0>percentage of time spent being a sperg and fiddling around: 100

>>24786151A peace prize actually. No competition this year anyways.
>>24786160>have you considered laying down and dying insteadFor some reason not many takers when a fascist pulls up.
>>24786140Fascism is actually peaceful, it's the "democratic" states always pushing for war with them that causes conflict.
