>author was only able to get published because his wife financially supported him throughout the writing process
Are women capable of sincere love and selfless benevolence? I strongly suspect that they're just masking their innate, ruthless and calculating pragmatism in the garbs of those emotions out of an intent to play the long con. They don't have real emotions, they're just emotional.

How to get a woman like this? (I'm good at writing)

Which one should I get? Can I jailbreak them somehow to get quick access to infinity books?I'm also gonna need it to be able to:>have offline translation and dictionary functions (but still be able to connect to the internet when necessary)>allow adding my own non-book PDFs>leave persistent notes and scribbles on files >create my own notes and writings
Kobo is great.I wish the Paranga or that one flexiprototype I forget the name of got off the ground though. An ereader that was basically a book you could reflash the pages of? Yes please.
Anyone have an opinion on Boox?
Let's say, hypothetically, that I've been self-publishing a novel, and am about ready to start selling e-books of it on my own website.Which file formats should I be sure to have it for sale in? I have Calibre so I can do a lot.
>>25596148I appreciate the page buttons and side mounting.
>>25596148I have Onyx Boox Lomonosov 2, absolutely massive screen. No jailbreaking required because it's Chinese. Good battery, nice interface, no lagging bugging. But I never owned any other e-reader, so can't compare.Best $300 buy I ever did. If I had to sell everything and remain only with one device, that would be it.
I like to read for fun :)
>>25595438Pfffffttttttt.
>>25594236posts like this keep me going. thank you, anon
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
>>25594236I pretended to read for fun so I could hit on the goth librarian and try to turn her into my slampig. Turns out she was a lesbian and now I like James Joyce. Fuck me, I guess.
>>25596054Well, she didn’t.
I want to study classical studies (Greek and Latin philology) but I work so I have no time to study ancient Greek (we used to study Latin in my high school).So I am thinking to dive into medieval history, I think I can manage medieval Latin, middle ages French and German.I am thinking about the sources, I don't only want to study books written by others. Philology is a powerful tool for history, I wanna be a philologist.
>>25596046I mean you can do that, but mind you that despite the memes medieval latin can get very baroque(Saxo is infamous for that) and the sources themselves are very spread out. It's probably best for you to find some kind if medieval tertiary source books like some work or Bloch but also many others and then look at their bibliographies.
Strictly speaking, this is not literature. It's spoken poetry. But it is an amazing piece of somber cosmic horror. Kind of a two-layer cosmic horror. I know everyone's going to get all faggy because of this, but it's quite excellent if you appreciate the genre.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RjefHa316c
The virgin cosmic horror we are nothing but space dust The chad space is infinite therefore filled with beauty and possibility
>>25595963Half of it is the peformance. That guy works sometimes, doesn't other times (Lööps, brother). Neat though.
So why should I read books if I could just listen to it using an AI voice synthesizer?
>>25592926You can still concentrate while listening though.
>>25591716No one expect p-zombies to read.
I feel like if I switched to audiobooks, I'd just fall asleep listening to them most of the time. Actually reading keeps me awake.
>>25593368Yeah this.
>>25591716You should do as much as possible by yourself.(reading, repairing your home, etc.)

D'Anunzio was not a fascist. Lenin praised his state experiment and sent him a can of caviar.
It worth it?
>>25593972Only if you're 27 or older. Very valuable right around that age.I would recommend another for later, but no matter how old he got, Stirner never saw fit to write it.

The Great Truth Of Science Fiction Authors: As soon as your guy starts writing about a.) cavemen b.) alternate history or c.) climate change - they are washed up. Out of ideas. There are no exceptions to this rule.
are there novels with the theme of being too stupid to engage in the type of intellectual pursuits that genuinely captivate your interest?

>>25594589Is that what it would take for you to recognize that one is more impactful than the other? Have you tried using your mind and eyes?
>>25594576>i don’t see chris nolan making a gilgamesh filmHe didn't make an Odyssey movie either. His goyslop film is nothing but part of the broad American Disneyfication of literature where they take classics and dillute them into sludge for the cattle to enjoy.

>>25594647Nice contribution to the thread, faggot. Now go eat some crayons.
Good for the field or damaging to philosophy?
>>25593467I wouldn't put it exactly like that but I do wonder whether the idea of "phenomenology" is derivative of something an earlier but far less popular and institutionally backed gentile said, but with a very heavy serving of jewish distortion and ideological abuse added on top.That's a lot more like how it tends to go rather than being created out of nothing as a conspiracy.
>>25591098its basically nothing... nothing
>wooooH bro we look at the world with our eyes and sense the world with our experiences woooooooooahhhhhLiterally stoner philosophy
>>25591098I don't think language can adequately express it so it's somewhat of a futile endeavor. Language is designed to describe the contents, but not the framework of phenomenology itself. I would say the same is true of the categories of reason generally. Art and poetry can sometimes stab at it but never to describe or define, but to depict.
>>25591098It’s okay. It’s basically just sociology these days though
I finished the uncared for third installment of the Altered Carbon series following my favorite eternally cucked washed out CIA spook fence sitter. He got his fist fight in the water moment and ride out into sunset and I was pretty underwhelmed. If the books had kept up popularity I bet he'd just keep tossing this guy to a new world, write a new reason why Sarah is fucked off after saving her, and keep up the angst because it's expected. I got pretty cynical half way through this because nothing fucking means anything. The answer to the good guy socialist's problems are aliens and overwhelming power. Why do I care if Quellcrist Falconer is real or whatever. You could have cut half the book and continue on from the end where something interesting was starting to happen instead. I get to imagine Micky Serendipity raising another man's kid with Sarah as he deserves to. He probably beats her the same way his daddy did. I made a displacement gesture, cranked up the neurochem and expelled cum into any major female character I could get my dick in out of 10.
What am I in for? It's not translated but I found a copy online and ran it through the paid machine translator I use for work. The first couple pages seem decent enough that I'll probably read it. Maybe some French anons can spend a moment flipping through and tell me if all the poetry is lost and it's a waste of time:https://files.catbox.moe/xnga9n.7zI want to read it because the new Peste Noire album quotes Nabe and this book as the opener to the record:"C'est dans le drapeau noir que se taillent les plus belles chemises"<It is from the black flag that the finest shirts are cut>
bump
>>25589265><It is from the black flag that the finest shirts are cut>First sentence is already mistranslated. Here drapeau doesn't meant flag. It means cloth/fabric. Lmao at your life.
What’s Nabe’s deal? He’s got an Instagram account too
>>25589265Why is the Low Book Sales logo on the cover?
Pretty cute for a French guy
