What's the one by Kipling about a settler/pioneer making his way into an undiscovered land? Thanks in advance, pic unrel
This is a post asking for general reading recommendations.If you read past that first line then lay any collections you like on me, please, because I'm new to poetry. I'm open to anything but if that's too nebulous then "The Graveyard By The Sea", "Ulalume", and "Song of the Bell" have all stuck with me recently.

Recently bought Chamber Music, Joyce's early book of poems. Am intrigued to read them; it's my next book on the docket.
It is not exactly well known in modern circles but much of Hemingways writing had fetishistic undertones for the sexual fetishes be possessed. It is well known that in most of his novels the main women has some sort of ratchet short haircut. Lady Brett Ashley,Maria and Catherine Barkley all had very intense details on the short hair they had. Further most of his wives had short hair and it was a subject of contention for His first wife Hadley Richardson and a mainstay with his second Pauline. Further the topic of women on male anal stimulation comes up in some of his works but more overt. The garden of Eden book truly is the embodiment of the Hemingway sexuality. Hemingwaybros how do you cope with the great man’s man writer liking women with boy haircuts and getting his buddy tickled. Personally I enjoy it.
>>24948644I hate women with short hair, but I like reading.What is something short but sweet from the old Earnest? Then which is his best novel?I have read Old man and the Sea.
>>24948659Farewell to Arms is his best novel. That said, Hemingway really shines most in his short stories. If you only read one thing by Hemingway, the Finca Vigia collection is the one to go with.
>>24944831If you can't disconnect author from his work and distinguish fiction from reality then you are genuinly low IQ. Or are you just brown? Do you also think Hemingway got shot in his dick during WW1 since Sun Also Rises is about that? Do you think Agatha Christie was serial killer since she wrote about murders?Do you have inner monologue? Can you imagine hypothetical situations?
i love hemmingway, short haired girls, and getting my ass eaten, but i do not believe hemmingway ever alludes to assplay in any of his works. he keeps it very vague and what is hinted at seems very vanilla.
>>24944831So a closeted, repressed twink.
What's a good book to start with Jung? I'm already familiar with psychoanalysis.I am mainly interested in dream analysis and archetypes, but I have researched and found that Man and His Symbols was not written by him personally, but by his assistants, and is actually a simple introduction.
>>24951656Jordan peterson lectures as warmup
Mark Winborn - Jungian Psychoanalysis, A Contemporary IntroductionMan And His Symbols was started by him in collaboration with some of his pupils, then finished by them after he died.
>>24951656>dream analysis>i, as an external, want to not only comprehend a fundamentally self-referential+intrinsically-individual & illogical part of the mind, but also to systematize an understanding/interpretation of the part of the individuals mind that is totally unmodulated and black boxed from the group/society.kekaroo. literally the dumbest most gigahonked big top clown venture in all of psychology. i would be serious $$$ that astrology has more predictive power.
>>24951995>external>systematise>unmodulated>black boxedYour assumptions are ignorant
>>24951656How did you know about Jung? I'm asking because I'm noticing a gigantic influx of Jung in /lit/ and /x/ through the last months and I want to know the source.

If you are an American or English, why are you not reading the wealth of world-historic literature written in your own tongue for people of your own mind?Why are you reading translations of brown-people literature (viz. French, Italian, German, Spanish, Russian) instead of the WASP corpus?
>>24951528>Sterne over CervantesMe.And Tolstoy is by far the most overrated author I've ever read.
>>24951500No WASP has ever, will ever, or could ever produce The Ego And Its Own.
>>24951540He'd have to read them without translation first.

Everything else just seems so spooked and retarded. Like these "philosophers" can't even see past their own circumstances or analyze their own thoughts and motivations, only (poorly) justify their own particular neuroses. Has there ever been a half decent attempt at addressing, let alone refuting him?
>>24949235spooked
>>24950831fair, but you will not make satisfying progress in your own mathematics without a sound philosophy
>>24947731Spooks being bad is a spook in itself

Is the concept of a spook a parody of the Hegelian Geist?
I regularly see threads on JP and Zizek but less commonly Jung and rarely Lacan.I have been reading Lacan on and off throughout the year and it has been pretty revelatory to me. If I were to try to take a stab at summarizing Lacan for anons that haven’t studied him, basically everything is fake and gay, anything not fake and gay is real, and >you are a subject beneath the fake and gay but not exactly a 1:1 product of the fake and gay. Your motif should be to recognize that to understand the real through anything fake and gay is impossible, therefore traverse the fake and gay knowing it’s fake and gay in accordance to your desire(TM). If anyone with more experience in Lacanian thought disagrees with my shit take, feel free to correct. Question: Why is Lacan not talked about as often as Freud and Jung are, or perhaps in general? Is his thought too subversive? Is it because he’s French? Pic related, worst mistake of my life
>>24950506forgive me, but what is so special about Lacan other than him mystifying and turning eternal the bourgeois patriarchical family?
>>24950725Useful how? What problems does he solve? What truths does he reveal?>>24951038Jungian thought explains poetry, and art in general, better than any other form of artistic interpretation ever produced. It gives honest explanation while keeping all the richness and, if anything, enhancing the profundity.
>>24951973Can you give an example? I've always found Jung's theories, pardon for being so blunt, dumb and superficial as fuck.
>>24951973Anyone not a poet has no business explaining poetry - but that’s not what I meant. Poetry as the Greeks knew it when they adopted the drama as a cleansing rite of religion, is a form of psychotherapy - poets essentially being the descendants of witch doctors and priestesses.
>>24952029It partially is, and Jung incorporated that into his practice. But Greek poets also acted as general voices of truth to the public, which Jung also did, and sometimes as shameless aggrandisers for money, which Jung didn't. Idk how you can have any knowledge of Jung and not know that he's a modern version of a medicine man.>>24952015There are plenty of case studies you can read. Volume 15 of the collected works is the most obvious, and there are analyses of art all throughout his works from Longfellow to Goethe to Dante. Von Franz's analysis of The Little Prince in The Problem With The Puer Aeternus is very good too. On what basis do you find it dumb and superficial? Do you actually understand what it's about?
>I did not know but that, under the circumstances, such being the case heretofore, I would be left in truth, as it were, without recourse and wherefore I took care for whatsoever means that were expedient yet prudent.

I can't deal with the hurt of pining over females anymore. How do I completely kill the instinct for female intimacy within me? Any Lit that will kill romantic delusion? I'm so tired and it hurts too much.>Bingo, Bingo, baby>I love you, ain't that crazy?>I want you, I want you over again>Bingo, Bingo, baby>I love you, ain't that crazy?>I want you, I want you over again
>>24952024No literature would ever be able to sober you as well as females' own brutalist comments in Reddit and TikTok about just how they regard males. You don't want books, you want women hate threads with compiled screenshots and women hate videos with compiled clips.Nothing hurts like the truth from the horse's own mouth.
>>24952024Read the Holy Bible. It's the only thing that I can read when I'm really pining over a goil.

Redpill me on Dr. William Pierce. Are his works worth reading?
>>24941203Hunter, was actually enjoyable as a B-grade paperback until the "preach" at the end. Viewed IN ITS TIME it was the first to do some things. PTSD among them. Its basically a modern serial killer novel before the modern tropes of such were hammered out. Hunter is *not* a manual for guerilla warfare, far from it. You don't learn how to make a silener though the MC makes on on a lathe. The concept of blowing up a building with explosive gas and a spark was novel enough in its time. An editor could have saved this book and made it consumable.T. actually read Hunter and Turner Diaries.

>The Lord of the Rings is often erroneously called a trilogy, when it is in fact a single novel consisting of six books plus appendices, sometimes published in three volumes.-Note on the text, Douglas A. Anderson, 1993What is a book, as Anderson (and presumably Tolkien) means it? For me naively a book and a bound volume is the same thing. Did Tolkien intend for the Lord of the Rings to be published as six books? Wouldn't that make it a hexalogy?
>>24951780>the older, classical sense,Meaning?>like the way Homer's Iliad has 24 "books" or Virgil's Aeneid has 12 "books."More examples doesn't answer my question. What is a book?>because those [...] books aren't six independent worksIsn't that what makes things trilogies? They're _connected_ works. If they're independent works there's nothing linking them into a trilogy.
>>24951793>What is a book?A division of a work that's longer than what could be called a chapter.
>>24951918Classical books are shorter than chapters though
>>24951767A book (liber) used to be written on a scroll (volumen). A larger work would be organized into books, with the length of each book limited by what could be fit on a single scroll. Eventually the bound book (codex) came into fashion, which could store much more text than a scroll, so when copying older works you'd have multiple books collected into a single bound book.
>>24952099 (Me)Also, scrolls had to be unfurled compared to bound books which could be flipped through, which I assume was another consideration when organizing a work into multiple scrolls.
