Which of the great Western writers would you say was the furthest from reaching his full potential, either because of untimely death, censorship, misguided projects, laziness, or something else?

ESCAPE FROM CAMP 14.
Living in North Korea sucks, though unfortunately i can't determine what is real and what the author is exaggerating for a bigger paycheck.
either way, its a gripping story of escaping a place so horrible and bleak i do believe to be mostly true and it makes me appreciate being able to eat juicy ateaks and jack off as i please.

"current book" nigga that book takes less than an hour to read. But yes, a lot of classics are empty due to the novelty not being a selling point anymore. I view Picassos art much in the same way.

You don't seem to get the book though. View it from the perspective of Gregor with his declining mental state. He is not literally a bug, he feels like one. His family may very well have tried to communicate with him, but it did not reach him or feel like it to him etc etc. The reactions of people around him are whatever Gregor imagines in his declining state.
>>
>>25170636
I see. I did pick up on Gregor's prospects becoming bleaker, but I hadn't considered him being an unreliable narrator.

I get bored reading anything else basically. He just filtered every other writer for me. They'll never reach Nietzsche's insight, cleverness, and/or his ability to blend prose and poetry. Has any author ever written anything as beautiful and meaningful as the Parable of the Madman?

And Nietzsche's many excellent quotes that affirm life. And speaking of affirming life, Nietzsche saved my life where Christianity could not. Before reading Nietzsche, I was suicidal, only barely avoiding suicide because it was a sin. In fact, I did try to kill myself and landed in a coma, but survived thankfully.

Christianity teaching me to hate the world, life, and myself did nothing good for me. And it's my opinion that most "Christians" are lukewarm. I am not denying that there are good things about Christianity, the best people in my life have been Christian, but if you take the religion seriously, then you would act entirely differently. For example, Paul recommends against getting married. The vast majority of modern Christians ignore this.

what is good philosophy?
>>25170434
schopenhauer, schelling, schiller, heine, kant, hegel (less so), he would probably say you have to read marx in order to engage with his ideas and tell him why he's wrong (although nietzsche is much more tolerant of marxism than people like to think), the greeks (of course), parmenides, empedocles, heraclitus, democritus, plato, aeschylus, homer, archilochus, euripides, sophocles (as important as schopenhauer), the "noble" stoics, the old and new testaments, and all the writings of st. paul, augustine, aquinas, descartes, baruch goddamn spinoza, hume, hobbes, shakespeare, marlowe, dostoyevsky, and more even more of whom some venerable /lit/izen is sure to remind me (and this doesn't include his "impossible ones" like dante and tolstoy)

why can't they into literature? Even the Dutch have better books. There are like 3 authors, no Kierkegaard does not count, that are worthwhile.

The issue with philosphers is that they are so far up in their own asses that they fail to see what is right and front of them. Philosophers like Plato or Kant spend countless hours arguing over what the meaning of live is, meanwhile regular people have been actually living that meaning in the real world. Human nature shows us way more objective truths than any brainiac ever could.

He did finish it.
The show was the realpolitik sensible ending he wanted.

He gave foids the one book series where women are treated as actual characters, and foids chimped out over Dannyce of Arabia not becoming GIGA SUE KWEEN EMPRESS OF EARTH,
but instead doing exactly what she was always set up to do from book 1 as a real tragic populist character.

So he said "fine, no ending for you".
And that, friend, is a good thing.

>>25168330
Bro hes overthinking it so hard, the ending just needs to wrap stuff up
