What do you even read for? You clearly take no pleasure in reading. You just want to get to the end so you can brag about being literate.

this has to be bait, abridged?

>Listen ladies, give fat books a chance. They will TEACH you things! I could never go back to a scrawny little novella again after experiencing the raw overwhelming power of a BIG book! One is next to me in bed as I type this, a dominant HARDBACK cover splayed possessively across my abdomen, and I quiver with anticipation as its powerful pages could seize me at any moment and plunge me to literary ecstasy. I don’t even have a say in it, the BIG book will just scream “I’m taking you now!” And shove my face into its hundreds of pages.

Based retard. Paper contains a certain amount of water, which will expand when frozen and break up the paper's structure.
This is exactly how frost kills plants.

>>24659261
Silica gel or dehumidifier, these things feed on mold and humidity. They're noticeable luckily.

>>24659261
I also bought a large haul of used books and found a few book lice in them. They are largely harmless and can only really survive in gross environments.. i just stored them in my basement for a while off the ground - dry & clean - and now have placed all the books on my shelf and they were all free of book lice.
From what I've read, molded books are much more worrisome and difficult to deal with. You're better off trashing those before it spreads to your other books.

I believe in the Gospel of William Blake
>All Bibles or sacred codes. have been the causes of the following Errors.
>1. That Man has two real existing principles Viz: a Body & a Soul.
>2. That Energy. called Evil. is alone from the Body. & that Reason. called Good. is alone from the Soul.
>3. That God will torment Man in Eternity for following his Energies.
>But the following Contraries to these are True
>1. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that called Body is a portion of Soul discernd by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.
>2, Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
>3. Energy is Eternal Delight
>Those who restrain Desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or Reason Usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrained, it by degrees becomes passive, till it is only the shadow of Desire.
>The history of this is written in Paradise Lost. & the Governor or Reason is call'd Messiah. And the original Archangel, or possessor of the command of the Heavenly Host, is calld the Devil or Satan, and his children are called Sin & Death. But in the Book of Job, Milton's Messiah is called Satan. For this history has been adopted by both parties It indeed appear'd to Reason as if Desire was cast out; but the Devils account is, that the Messiah fell. & formed a heaven of what he stole from the Abyss This is shown in the Gospel, where he prays to the Father to send the Comforter or Desire that Reason may have Ideas to build on, the Jehovah of the Bible being no other than he who dwells in flaming fire
>Know that after Christs death, he became Jehovah.
>But in Milton; the Father is Destiny, the Son, a Ratio of the five senses. & the Holy-ghost, Vacuum!
>Note. The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels & God, and at liberty when of Devils & Hell, is because he was a true Poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it

The modern concept of trans is mostly disconnected from old conceptions. It was based on modern 20th century german and anglo ideas, and is currently a most American idea. Despite the basic idea of changing gender being the same, it has no continuity with older conceptions.

>Benatar/interviewer go for a walk in the park
>surrounded by lovers and families enjoying a nice sunny day
>interviewer forwards the idea that life can be improved
>Benatar raises his voice and starts sperging that life never improves (objectively false by the way)
>Benatar literally starts crying: "life is unacceptable"
>interviewer is taken aback by his outburst and at a loss for words (Benatar is inconsolable)

Benatar is a mentally unstable weasel so it's no wonder he mostly avoids interviews. On top of that he admits that his ideas are damaging while using the excuse that his work is academic and only meant for those that seek it out (note that these people are likely to have personality disorders and mental illness). Benatar objectively creates suffering and given that he's under the delusion that his work is toward the opposite: he's delusional and irrational.

This is the figurehead of anti-natalism. A sniffling sad sack who can't even hold it together in a park on a sunny summer afternoon and finish an interview without having a nervous breakdown. Remember this the next time this loser makes another one of his "I CAN'T BREED" threads as if it's anyone else's problem but his own. Remember this the next time one of these losers starts sperging delusions about how he really cares about suffering when the reality is anti-natalists are just depressive headcases attempting to intellectualize their pathetic nature while mentally masturbating about their delusions all because absolutely no one wants to fuck them.

Reading this right now. It's rather boring. Lacks narrative. But maybe World War books aren't for me. I still have John Keegan's "The First World War" and >>24601937 to read and I hope they are better.

Shelby Foote is well worth reading, he strikes a good balance between a narrative and academic historical style. Sometimes it gets a little melodramatic, but it was easy enough to get through.

Sanderson is mentioned to remind people how Robert Jordan died before he finished Wheel of Time just like GRRM is going to die before he finishes ASOIAF. Spazzing about Sanderson's unsuitability for the role it is far more embarrassing than the "heckler" mentioning it.

It's very messy, and sometimes it's not clear on a dialogue by dialogue basis. Consider this passage in the Republic where there's forms of injustice and vice:

>“And in respect of the just and the unjust, the good and the bad, and all the ideas or forms, the same statement holds, that in itself each is one, but that by virtue of their communion with actions and bodies and with one another they present themselves everywhere, each as a multiplicity of aspects.” (476a)

And what appears to be forms of injustice, unmusicality, and death in the Phaedo:
>“Then if the soul takes possession of anything it always brings life to it?”
>“Certainly,” he said.
>“Is there anything that is the opposite of life?”
>“Yes,” said he.
>“What?”
>“Death.”
>“Now the soul, as we have agreed before, will never admit the opposite of that which it brings with it.”
>“Decidedly not,” said Cebes.
>“Then what do we now call that which does not admit the idea of the even?”

It seems it could go both ways:
>And those which do not admit justice and music?
i.e. privatized of justice or musicality
I suppose death could still be a privation of the animating principle.

Having never watched The Wire, I wasn't sure what to expect. I don't mind the prose but it tends to shift between eloquent to janky in the same paragraph. Not a bad read so far though

I actually haven't gotten around to reading Mein Kampf yet, but it's on the reading list. I recently purchased "National Socialism and the Laws of Nature" by Martin Kerr. I think it will serve as a good metapoltical precursor to studying Hitler's ideology, and for considering how the ideology could be applied internationally. Speaking of internationally, you can buy Henry Ford's "The International Jew" off of the Cosmotheist church website. That, too, is on my reading list.

Fantômas is strangely great, you would never think they were released once per month. It was basically automatic writing. Surrealists bowed to Fantômas.
There is a reedition of the original now but only the first 20 are out. Few are translated in English for some reason.

If you want something a bit more recent than the classics of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th, San Antonio is peak crime comedy pulp. It's a series of 175 novels from 1949 to 1999 (the son of the original writer carried on until 2016).
I just looked and apparently it didn't pierce into the anglosphere at all. Only 7 have been translated in English by one guy in the 1960s and then nothing (vs 60 in Italian and 50 in Russian).
