I fell for the Lolita meme
If I buy this in a shop they'll report me to the police right?
Not immediately. You'll be kept on a NSA watch list though.

There is also no blacklist for "people who own the communist manifesto" in the usa

I just finished reading in the miso soup. Holy fuckSo this is the first book I've read this year. In order, the things I found interesting about it were, the incredible psychological mind games going on, between frank and kenji, the sense of surrealism. The immense grotesqueness and paranoid (the book caused myself the reader, I had trouble sleeping after reading it in the 2 nights between when I first started reading because of it), but also the turn around to warm empathy I felt for frank, after he began to tell his stories; I related so much to the way kenji reflected...

Literally nothing interesting happens, it seriously reads like a long B-grade creepypasta
> First book I've read this year
You had a whole fucking month, what else did you do?

Not really. If it was just a generic horror like say, halloween or something, there wouldn't be such a deep character dialog and reflections on the realities of every day life. For one, I don't think you really read it very closely or really retained anything that was said in it, or reflected on it in any meaningful way. Your tone makes you come off as a complete troll, to be honest. I don't really care what makes you tick, your presence here is boring. You've added nothing interesting.

holy shit, somebody here besides me has read that?
Infinet Jest, of course is his greatest work, but DFW had written so much more.... short stories published in numerious periodicals, essays in academenic books, and of course, his two page suicide note.
/Lit, is there a resource on the 'net that would enable us to experience DFW from all sources.
Example: Acroding to wiki, A simpsons episode was based on DFW's "A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll Never Do Again: Essays and Arguments". As a DFW and a Simpsons fan this is must read.
He published many times in all the magainzes that we read.
so......

what? you kind find all his worthwhile stuff on bookz I'm pretty sure. Other than juvenile shit, which probably wasn't that great.
>magazines that we read

I would have been his friend. We could have watched television together.

Bad idea to read this if I haven't read any of his other work?

Somebody help me here?
>read only non-fiction
>books are either too general and lacking or specific and pedantic
>end up not learning enough for the time applied
How do I choose my history, sociology, philosophy, etc, books? Do I have to start with the greeks to understand the Middle-Upper paleolithic transition?:
Actually, start with the Greeks is not a bad idea. There's a reason it was the basis of all education for centuries.
Also, non-fiction is quite general. Mind being perhaps more specific ?
>>7654884
>Do I have to start with the greeks to understand the Middle-Upper paleolithic transition?
Wow.
Also, threads like these severely underestimate the mankind's existing knowledge and literature.
>>7654884
You need to read the specific works of (insert philosopher/historian/whatever) that were dedicated to specific topics (e.g Schopenhauers essay on women, not memeing, totally serious just giving an example).
Can somebody recommend me a book about the various denominations of Christianity?
I wanna hang out with the cool Catholic and Orthodox bros and bully Protestants, but I dont understand the differences yet
>>7654679
>I wanna bully Protestants
>but I dont understand the differences yet
>>7654699
>>7654679
This thread is as bad as the guy who wanted to be "redpilled on catholicism" so that he could become a modern crusader, and when it was pointed out to him that once someone begins expressing themselves violently they stop being Christian he went all REEEEEEEEEEEE
