Do you think Mrs. Reilly is a sympathetic character? Is the she a good mother in spite of her flaws?
>>24958237Found it too relatable?

More and more i find myself dedicating into literature.Finished Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose, this month.Went to the bookstore today, no Eco books other than The Name of... were left.Went to thriftstore, what's that ? Baudolino Hardcover for 1€Came home checking online market place, Foucault's Pendulum and Pape Satan both HC, 3-5€ also in my town.A thread died for this, i don't care. Tomorrow i will sit somewhere comfy and read my new books. Post some surreal/artistic medival/renaissance/ super gnostic boys on mushrooms book covers.Love you all, have a nice christmas !
>>24957279You came here to post this, even sadder.
>>24957192>BaudolinoEnjoy! Very entertaining bookFoucault's pendulum drags a bit in the middle but it's pretty good otherwise
>>24957192I picked up Foucault's Pendulum, but haven't read it or anything else by Eco. Should I try and find another of his books for a first impression or jump into this one?
>>24958287I've read The Name of the Rose only so far and it's really beautiful !The only book where i couldn't put it down easily and read one more chapter before sleep.
im mostly through baudolino

Should I start with Eliade or Varg Vikernes for a better understanding of paganism?
>>24956248Varg has plenty of insight on his own because he's well read, it's his wife that thought of the groundbreaking stuff. But even then they aren't great writers or scholars, just laypeople. You ought to read actual scholarly books like Religious Attitudes of the Indo-Europeans, or The Ancient City; as well as actual mythology like Hesiod, Ovid, and Pindar's Odes.
>>24956361>and is just a larp to push identitarianism and white supremacyThat's what you're inferring, not what he explicitly stated. Obviously the religious practices of a race of people are related to the race of that people. It's not an organized religion that is intended to reach out to anyone from any race and incorporate them into itself. They have their own traditions and culture that reflect their own race.
paganism has been dead for 1500 yearsany attempt to recreate it is a larpcope and seethe
>>24958204Good luck with the Muslims. Maybe the Latinos will take your side since you're all Christian.
Pagan LARPing is just Wicca for autistic incels.
I have been reading Chinese classics lately and finished this one. Out of all of the ones I've read so far, this has to be the greatest.Has /lit/ read traditional Chinese classics like Romance of the 3 kingdoms, Journey to the west, Dream of Red Chamber, Investiture of the Gods, and others?
I love Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio and Zhuangzi

>>24957461>In September 2017, Jorjani was suspended from his teaching position at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in response to a covert video recorded by Patrik Hermansson, a Swedish antifascist activist, who presented himself to Jorjani under the false identity "Erik Hellberg", in which Jorjani predicted a future where concentration camps would return to Europe and Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great would appear on European currency by 2050. Hermansson met with Jorjani at an Irish bar in midtown Manhattan in June, where the two talked about a future in which Europe embraces fascism. "It's going to end with the expulsion of the majority of migrants including citizens, who are of Muslim descent, generally" Jorjani said. "That's how it's going to end. It's going to end with concentration camps and expulsion and war. At the cost of a few hundred million people."

What's further to the right, fascism/National Socialism, or monarchy?
>>24958243>YesThen you should try it. Don Quixote rants about justice, honor and courage, and Sancho's delight in the small pleasures of life, his wine and bacon, are some of the best prose ever written in Spanish.I find that more genuine than french or russian writers having existential crises
>>24958251Reflexively my answer would be the latter, because the former are inherently modernist, mass movements, but the answer isn't that simple, for you can easily have a monarchy with a progressive society.

I'd like to learn about the beliefs and development of alchemy. I'm not sure where to start. Medieval alchemy? Eastern alchemy? The Islamic world? Earlier periods?Please note that I am looking for factual secondary sources and not incomprehensible esoteric autism.
Show me ONE (1) piece of actual PROOF that alchemy works in the manner it claims to rather than being elaborate window dressing for mental transformation or philosophy. Just one teeny little piece of lead turned to gold, or a tiny little philosopher's stone. I'll wait.
>>24955411Practical Alchemy, and, Alchemy Unveiled by Aethyrius
>>24957553
This is a good primer on Western alchemy, falling somewhere in the middle between theoretical and practical concerns.For 'Eastern Alchemy', you could try Damo Mitchell's 'White Moon on the Mountain Peak' (Daoist approach). I don't know how it worked in the Vedantic tradition, I don't think they have a clear textual tradition there, it seems to be meditation lineages taught directly from master to student.>not incomprehensible esoteric autismSure, the books I have listed are comprehensible esoteric autism. I hope you are aware that alchemy is a part of esotericism.

>Descartes wrote La Géométrie in French rather than the language used for most scholarly publication at the time, Latin. His exposition style was far from clear, the material was not arranged in a systematic manner and he generally only gave indications of proofs, leaving many of the details to the reader.[7] His attitude toward writing is indicated by statements such as "I did not undertake to say everything," or "It already wearies me to write so much about it," that occur frequently. Descartes justifies his omissions and obscurities with the remark that much was deliberately omitted "in order to give others the pleasure of discovering [it] for themselves."
>>24958180OP is about the most influential work of math since Euclid, but Descartes founded modern philosophy if that's what you're talking about, in the sense that he started without assuming any religious doctrine or revelation as a given
>>24958193the first is new to me, the latter factoid i know, you didn't answer my question
>>24958202He's extremely worth reading if you are interested in any philosophy that came after him. If you don't care about that stuff, then less so
>>24958180Rules for direction of the mind is a must. Geometry and optics are nice if you are in to those fields. You can discard his two philosophic works especially meditations entirely.
