Post a random page from any book vintage, antique, physical, or digital in your collection and ill do a superficial reading on the typeset and the personal life, dream world, and fascinations of the person or people working as the publisher, typesetter, etc... Forgive me if im off this is in the world of aesthetics so it would line up with spiritual things, I would love to try
yes OP, heres a completely random page
>>25170921he spent a lot of time in college, he is a seventies man, he's plane, he looks to go out into nature, he likely has a beard and glasses, has a lot of hobbies with nature conservation, hes a boomer, hes moderately liberal, he is in academia, he is probably a lecturer, he spends time in learning in learning institutions, hes professional and informative, he is intellectual, he has female children, he likes earth science
>>25170921He has a modern house, he's passionate about children's media like jurassic park, he especially likes the moral implications, hes probably a philantropist, hes worldly and traveled, hes stiff, anglo saxon, probably from one of the coasts
>>25170975He is schizophrenic
>>25170980Here is a more orderly page.
>>25170980Yep
>>25170975>>25170989Hes an incel
>>25171037Nah, he seems a normie in that department, wife, kids, divorce, etc.
>>25170989He rapes niggers
People should post more single pages from the books they're reading. I enjoyed that Mieville one. Of course I'm not gonna trudge through fantasy drivel, but it's fine for a page.
>>25171156I feel like if he ever raped anyone it would be a situation like the rape in Speedboat, which is not the sort of rape you mean and completely meaningless to you. Here is a page with a lot of killing, seems like your sort of thing.
>>25171183He is disorganized, he's passionate, he goes into an argument looking for the upperhand by any means necessary, he likes goth stuff, he's stern, he's energetic, hes insistent but not outwardly libidinous, although he is a masturbator. Hes manic. I didnt read any of that by the way ill go over it now
>>25171192At least you put in some effort even if it was the minimal amount. Perhaps this is more your speed.
>>25171183I saw all of that because when I looked at the page typeset and your post it reminded me off this guy who I had a lousy business dealing with one time and I saw his face plastered before my eyes when I looked at that
>>25171213Maybe you are the one who is schizophrenic?
Does a book from the Library of Babel count?
>>25171219Hes enjoying his electronics, he's having a fun time, he's hanging out with girls, he's optimistic, he's creative, he's relaxed, he's nonchalant, he has low anxiety, he's neurotic, he's gothic, he just got back from a nice social event or perhaps read an encouraging post, anxious thoughts seep in and he becomes defensive,narcissistic, and egotistical
history
>>25171254he's h1b worker, he's professional, hes from silicon valley, he's from china, he wears a suit and tie, he likes trainspotting, his wife is a whore in asia, he likes looking out of windows, he rides the subway, he spends a lot of time in office buildings, he likes the old internet, he likes reddit, he's cool and likes sleek oriental culture, dances at clubs, sushi bars, he likes quintin tarantino, he likes multiplayer videogames, hes extremely gifted and doesnt have to study often
>>25171219>>25171211>>25171183>>25171058>>25170975>>25170989These are good btw I like them
>>25171255Probably not very accurate, there is definitely a duality about him but I don't think other people play into it much and the separation is between when he is in the midst of a project and when it is done and he has not yet started on the next. >>25171398Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. It is quite good but not at all a fun happy book, he is trying to write a novel that really gets across what 9/11 was like, and he does it better than anyone else that I have read. Probably the most emotional book I have read, pretty much 100% feels and he never falls back onto simple emotional appeals or remember whenning or the like, it is all very complex and difficult emotion.

>>25173790>>25173388I didnt read either of those btw
>>25175840Hes academic, he may come from a nice university, he likes baroque art, he has good taste, he probably experienced extreme violence, or is perhaps fairly old in a cutthroat industry, hes probably better in writing than in person, he's probably associated with professors, hes cerebral, he has good taste, his building is probably gothic with baroque furnishings, hes probably somewhat fond of romanticism
