Oh come now, /lit/, are we really going to abandon a fresh topic in exchange for five Bukowski threads?

Please?

White Goddess is fucking weird

If you want a good intro to it, get his Greek Myths and read the weirder femdom parts of his exegesis. Speaking as a femdomfag, reading WG is immediately like "oh hello Graves, I see you also like femdom." Something weeeeird was going on there.

Check out Bachofen as well if you're interested in that sort of thing

>Am I stupid if I have a somewhat casual interest in philosophy and literature but I still pursue other arts like music and cinema?
get off of 4chan senpai its gonna rot your brain

>>7668726
what do you mean?

Also I've been here for about 5 years at this point so I think I'm past the point of no return m8

Yes, you're stupid. Every mature and intelligent man should have an interest in every single important human development in the world, and you don't get to play favourites with each area.

I have an adblocker f4m

But would you use a site for free publishing(which could possible steal your intellectual property)

So no one actually writes here?

Good to know

There is a surprisingly decent amount of occultists here I think but they kind of come out haphazardly

what do you mean esoteric books or encyclopedias of things? or encyclopedias of esoteric things?

I've been enjoying a collection of scriptures called the Buddha and his Dhamma. You can find it online pretty easily.

Zen Flesh, Zen Bones is an amazing collection if you're interested in the Zen aspect of Buddhism.

I've read one of Dalai Lama's books and was not very impressed. It struck me as one of those spiritual self-help books that middle aged women read.

The Dhammapada is essential obviously, and actually a good read at that. The Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra are fantastic as well.

Taranatha is the key source of Indian Buddhist history from within Buddhism itself and is the historical authority within Tibetan Buddhism. I have not read much of this text but I am more or less aware of it and its general importance to Buddhist history.

I find the essays published by Bhikkhu Bodhi on the access to insight website to be quite insightful as his writings are a good balance between being philosophically engaging without abandoning the fundamental religious message that Buddhism seeks to convey....

Lord of the Rings

I will never read 1984 or Brave New World. Just a super boring topic to me. Also any Vonnegut/Pynchon.

You might also be bored by Darkness at Noon but it's much more important than Orwell/Huxley and deserves to be their place

This is pulp for the people put off by the poverty of the language used by Stephanie Meyer.

Boy in Darkness is great though

god dammit, i fucked up the pronouns. you know what i mean.

I just had this experience with a /lit/ recommendation. I imagine it was a woman at least, because its quality was offensive.

>>7671957

>>7668131
>is this babies first sci Fi?
yeah it's as good a place to start as any
>>should I read the other books?
they get progressively worse as he slips his weird mormon ideas into the story but if you're into that kind of thing and you didn't like everything that made the original good then go ahead.
>>were/are you able to separate the authors opinions on homosexuals from his work?
yeah

It's pretty much the only way the masses will read a book, is if a movie adaption is coming out and there's hype around it. It's also probably the only way to make a real living as a writer anymore.
