Did he?
plato on suicide watch holy shit
>>8169131
Aristotle fixed it immediately after.
They aren't even saying anything, just expressing some vague dissatisfaction proffered by the likes of Dawkins and other nu-atheists
It wasn't scary.
I agree. It was good though.
Our generation's view of what is and isn't scary has changed tremendously over the last 50 years. Now imagine how scary it might have been to the people in Shelley's time.

What is the most wonderful philosopher to follow? What will happy your shit up the best?
>>8168956
Prolly Buddhism, in an indirect way.
Interdependance is prolly the closest thing to authentic love you will every find in an applicable philosophy.
That or Epicurian hedonism. But that shit has pitfalls left and right, if not done correctly.
In the end it's all the same, m8. Pick something and go from there. If it doesn't make you happy or at least more content, it's either bullshit or doesn't suit you.
And a quick personal advice:
Go from inward outward. Learn to love...

Could you elaborate?
What made you cry this week, /lit/?
>>8168860
my diary desu
The Orlando shooting, desu. They interviewed a mother who didn't know where her son was (obviously dead) and she couldn't hold it together. Why does it have to be like it do?
My daily shower.
That's where I do my crying.

What is the book version of Spurdo?
Probably Aldous Huxley. His books are shit.
>>8168820
Spurdo is literally one of the most important developments in 21st century art. It's gonna be studied in universities 10 years from now, you can bet on it

I sometimes wonder if "internet historians" will one day be taken seriously.
Hi internet historians!
Were people really this slutty back in the 50s?

redpilled guy here.
Actually the 50s were Utopia of conservatism and American dream. Everyone were happy and there was no degeneracy and women were at home where they belong in the kitchen, pic related

remember to praise Lord KEK's meme magic!
Are there any other philosophers who are as literary entertaining and thought provoking as Schopenhaur?
Hard mode: Try and think of a less pleb answer than Nietzsche.
>>8168229
His 'On Women' legitimately changed my life.
You clearly haven't read Schopenhauer or Nietzsche. Neech is much more entertaining, Schopenhauer sounds like Kant when he's not roasting women and talking about being a sadboy
>>8168238
How so, did it vindicate your beta virginity?
Are there any novels that are completely devoid of plot?
>>8168156
anything by women or nonwhites
>>8168156
Yes, it's practically a modernist staple
>>8168165
what are some examples of such novels?
>Shadow had done three years in prison. He was big enough, and looked don’t-fuck-with-me enough that his biggest problem was killing time. So he kept himself in shape, and taught himself coin tricks, and thought a lot about how much he loved his wife.
>>8168071
Is there a point to this thread? What do you want to discuss?
at least he was called Shadow and not Mr Miffy the Lovable London Cockney Stereotype Who Wears Fingerless Gloves and Mispronounces Common Words In A Comical Manner
>>8168071
Gaiman has a rich imagination... and an ability to tackle large themes.
Is it unreasonable to drop a book because of a grammar mistake? I just think a translator capable of this cannot be trusted to write decent prose.
>>8168069
Absolutely not. There has to be a minimum standard somewhere and grammar is as good a baseline as any.
>>8168069
It's unreasonable to create a thread on 4chan about it.
>>8168069
That isn't even one of those mistakes you make when you have a lot going on in your mind or have to rewrite a sentence many times, that's just plain stupid tbqh. Unless that's the only translation out there I would drop it.

Why Are You Deliberately Writing Like A Fagbook Cunt?
>>8167855
Stop shillin' yourself Norge-ven.
I was going to bring premium rum to your cabin, but you only want visits from young vulnerable women in your remote molestation cabin.
>>8167883
It's not really remote. It's near enough to Haugesund for me to walk if I wish to do so over an hour or so.
They ate the kid, right?
>>8167543
I think they did, though.
>>8167536
I have reserved a copy from my local library. Am I in for a good time?
Why does everyone say this is so hard to read? Are you guys just so autistic that you can't understand context clues?

>>8167025
Reverse Racism is still Racism
>>8167048
>Reverse Racism
Im only a few pages in and I get that vibe already.
Is this book just political correctness propaganda?
Environmental determinism is a joke.
