My method for reading Cioran: spend the evening at a bar or a party with people you don't even like, flirting with girls you don't even find attractive. Get drunk. Smoke 3+ cigarettes. Irish goodbye, take the train home in silence. Stay up all night and just when the first hint of light comes into the sky, you're ready to read him.
