My greatest enjoyment and the most I ever learned was reading works like this alone and journaling about them.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

What type of books do the elite read? And why?
>>25424533I kneel.
>>25419142This was his weirdest flex. He multiple times said don’t read fiction, read non-fictions. It’s so retarded. I think it started around the time he was promoting feynman’s messenger lectures.
>>25424486Commoners being incapable of understanding the value of art beyond entertainment explains why anons dismiss anything deemed to be targeted towards the average Joe as genreslop. Anons desperately want to posture as if they're part of the elite by crab bucketing their peers. Makes me think Nietzsche's slave morality was onto something and I usually don't give him much credit.

Redpill me on Freud /lit/. I read his early case studies on hysteria that he did with Breuer and while it was interesting I don't want to spend a whole year reading everything the man wrote. What are your recommends?>normally if something bad happens you talk it out or think it out and go about your life>sometimes it's something you can't think about because it's too frightening, or it happens when you're in a semiconscious state, or both>then the memory gets 'stuck' in your unconscious like a foreign body and finds expression in physical symptoms, hence hysteria>but if you can be made to remember what set all this going and say it out loud it will be 'processed' and your hysterical symptoms will go away>also a lot of the time it's something sexualThat's basically all I got from those case studies ngl.

>>25422709>>25422718This list is good but you might want to start with "Lay analysis" since it's a summary of all his ideas.
>>25422709kevin macdonald's culture of critique includes a very insightful critique of Freud's entire oeuvre as essentially unfalsifiable assertions, upheld by arguments from authority by the head of a personality cult, that doesn't even attempt to engage with the scientific method.

He was a jew which means his psychology was not about helping patients get better, but about the extraction of money. Each new theory of why you are fucked up served as a way to continue the narrative that there is something deeper going on here so you should totally keep giving me money. A lot of mental illness can be broken down into either trauma or guilt, simple as.

Allow me to missplace and vindicate, before you defecate, writing tricks of rethorical clarity, as for divine literary divinity, I've cursed your general. Without a feral reason to bother.However, in the middle of this crafty fever, I want to displace the fear among the tear my cringy typos can make.Forever and ever, I've feel that the upmost whatsoever, comes to fewer oportunities to express without a pressing reason to absolutely write in verse.However, I am sure I can at least try to craft some prose, for all the rose and pink dose of prose I can type.
Grammar is an excuse, to fuse the expressivity power of lyrics into a mere dose of rules inside the thules of known posibilities.Who are you, to make a justification that implies that writing should be, as it must be, for all It can be.Writing can be anything, a pure thing beyond the logic of biologic beiings.Human language isn't a logical, but emotional creation, a mere fabrication of rare inspiration, and is pretty clear my indignation, that it should be limited, a mited imitation of the entire history of lyrical historical creation.
Happy birthday!

What's /literature's/ opinion on these books?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_RomeMasters of Rome is a series of historical novels by Australian author Colleen McCullough, set in ancient Rome during the last days of the old Roman Republic; it primarily chronicles the lives and careers of Gaius Marius, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Pompey the Great, Gaius Julius Caesar, and the early career of Caesar Augustus. It spans from January 1, 110 BC through to January 16, 27 BC.
I don't read female "authors"
>>25424349There was definitely a puddle underneath her as she wrote that
>>25425193You have to give her props for making Servilia the worst female character in literary history, then self-inserting into her so she can fuck Caesar by proxy, and then on top of that give Caesar a fetish for her back hair.

>mogs all other BiblesKJVcacas need not apply
>>25422176What is special abozt this bible and why is this a good thing in your eyes?I think that any translation has its downsides but this is also true for non-experts reading the original languages. Reading ancient texts is hard already, but reading the bible is even harder if you want to read it with care and in a humble and religious manner. For me personally, even the posterior analytics or the KrV is easier than the bible. The bible is just massive and it is supposed to be understood holidtically (see phillip and the african in Acts)
>>25422179>she
>>25423411why does it translate "the cool of the day" to "the afternoon".? (genesis 3)i would have settled for the wind of the day.
>>25423853i dunno but in genesis there is an analytical significance to day/night and morning/evening. evening is always before morning, so in the orthodox church the ecclesiastical day actually starts in the evening. i can't give you a straight answer but maybe those are some leads to go off of. it gives primacy to the Septuagint but they copied from earlier english masoretic translations in the sections that match up to save time.
>>25422179This is like the catholic cope bible for tradcaths who seethe that they don't get to have the kjv. It sucks and doesn't come close to the kjv.
>During her first non-resident term at Bennington College, while living in Washington, Donna Tartt engaged in an extended erotic role-play with an older, wealthier student, named Paul. In the fantasy, Tartt was Paul's slender gay lover, a Sebastian Flyte type. She cropped her hair short, dressed in jazz age menswear, and Paul referred to her as "my lad." The pair would french kiss outrageously in public places in an attempt to attract opprobrium from bigots, then either flee or, if cornered, reveal that Tartt was in fact a woman. This really lowers my opinion of her, bros. Disgusting.
>>25424575I believe her, look at the anger in her eyes, dangerous girl, femme fatale.

Thoughts on "Galahad and The Grail" by Malcolm Guite? I like it so far, it's clearly an attempt at a "modern" Arthurian story and is heavily influenced by Tolkien, Lewis and the other Inklings. I like that it doesn't ignore the religious dimension of the Grail stories.
