Hey /lit/ ! Long time lurker and first time poster here, i'd like to get into poetry but I don't know where to start. Which poets should I bother with ?
>>8094176
Just make sure they're written by white heterosexual males. Disregard everything else.
Liberals will have you believe Shakespeare was black, they've been brainwashed by their Marxist professors
Some good starters are folks like Blake, Shelley, Yeats, Rimbaud. Larkins's an enjoyable easy start too. And get into Bukowski cause then you can get in the panties of basic bitches.
William Blake and Lord Tennyson
Requests allowed if you need something more specific.
Avoid the movie.
Does it matter a great deal whether or not I read philosophy chronologically?
>>8094084
nothing matters a great deal
"chronologically"
How can chronological things be real if ideas aren't real?

His his philosophy just "Everything Socrates said is right"?
Postin in ebin thread
We don't know what Socrates said do wr?
>>8094016
Socrates was the first cultural marxist who tried to subvert Western civilization with his nihilism
His fight against morals always seemed to me an acute and refreshing one, especially in these times of ethical tyranny around the world.
How come he's being memed?
People like their spooks anon
"I" got "banned" for making a Stirred thread before.
here's what happened:
>some people on this board and others took an interest in Stirner
>immediately they found The Ego and Its Own in which he uses the term "spook" a lot
>people begin to use the term "spook" as a meme because it seems to fit
>eventually everyone forgets what he wrote about and what spooks even are
>literally the only thing people know about him is that he wrote about the ego or...

Should philosophers just be metaphysicians?
Philosophers/philosophies who go and change the world cause tragedies anyways.

Somewhat related:
>The early Didascalicon was an elementary, encyclopedic approach to God and Christ, in which Hugh avoided controversial subjects and focused on what he took to be commonplaces of Catholic Christianity. In it he outlined three types of philosophy or "science" [scientia] that can help mortals improve themselves and advance toward God: theoretical philosophy (theology, mathematics, physics) provides them with truth, practical philosophy (ethics, economics, politics)...

Giving you an excuse to be a loser is not a tragedy for the world.
>>8093933
Existence is a tragedy already. By your logic, doing ANYTHING would be pointless then. Which is true, but judging from you post, you don't seem to have internalized this truth.
Will we ever see a breakthrough book about transgender people like the way TKAM was for blacks?
>>8093910
nope. transhumanism has a chance, but transgender/lgbt issues are just a bunch of early 21-st sjw nonsense
come back when you're ok with the idea that humans are biological automata that have no inherent right per-se

>when you're such shit that you need fiction to make a case for treating you like people
Maybe you should go write one and stop making shit threads desu.

When was "the hood" anything to be proud of?
Some believe that humans are progressing for the better. In this writing I'll show points against their belief. Thus, what I write will be a list of controversial statements, against the course of humanity. We are nearing World War III – some are so relaxed and passive that they will say “You believe that, seriously? C'mon!”. It's important to be aware of the times, and in these times, people are intelligent to talk on behalf of knowledge of politics,when political questions are asked. Politics, shouldn't be an understanding of capitalism, but an understanding of human nature and world conditions. Peace, for a long time, with less gruelling work, is the potential of society. Society is wrecked by people who insult others, especially into their understanding of world conditions and human nature. People who talk like this are accepted, by even moderators here on reddit. These people ruin our experience and cause us to make mistakes, but mainly they promote what isn't true. Continuation of false politics. Our consumption rates are too high, and we're very evil to nature. People will say “why does the world matter?” as if a sarcastic recital to a onlooking philosopher audience. Philosophy in these times is a risky field, you lose intelligence with the philosopher that's being taught. You eat, drink, and sleep; over the course of that time, you question whether you or others should live. This is illogical, and it mutilates dreams of a greater future, everyone is more unintelligent for listening to your question. People live, and subsequently, they live over a course of time; during this time you show evidence that you want to live. If your mind is this unstable, do you not have a mental incapacity in a way that there is a need for you to be seen by a mental health expert? You visually promote species-suicidal things, promote suicide, and make others feel suicidal by throwing insults at the people who are sometimes smarter than you. Scientists have picked up this behaviour, and it's a different cool to have some aggression. This is to disguise a false scientific process. It's a science to be wise, and when you are wise you are a scientist; you understand how things work, you will go about learning about the universe – the science taught is propaganda in light of promoting high consumption rates, world war 3, and although this can be appealing to us, it's not an intelligent view, it's intelligent pure.

Faggot.
Talk about long winded. Your entire argument can be summed up in two words: be yourself.

Thank you, I forgot to add Pound but he's also wonderful. I realize the thread idea sounds a bit silly but I just want to learn more of /lit/'s tastes, and I figure if 3x3 threads work on /mu/, the concept should translate well enough.
Dylan Thomas and Thomas Hardy will do OP

You get the idea. A string of words orchestrated to make ya brain jizz.
People disappearing,abductions and others by altering themselves and reality by recreating various missing outside situations or your mind will return to the past,time travel,speed,invisibility,nightlights,stores,tired yet pet of the pukes hungrily pulling your sleeping genitals,draining energy,stuck in this nest,replacing people,clones.
My sweet little whorish Nora I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue came bursting out through your lips and if a gave...

Started reading this one yesterday. Really liking it so far. What do you guys think of it / other works by Cook?
>>8093705
Ive only read the next three books in that series. I liked them all, but I've heard that they eventually take a sharp dip in quality.
>>8094029
I've heard the same, not going to bother reading them. Have you heard anything about his other books that aren't related to this series?
>>8093705
I think the first 3 books were good, but the first one is the best.
Sorry IDK about the others. Someone recommended "Gardens of the Moon" to me after I read that but I can't understand what's going on in that book
What's the consensus on Jane Austen? I've never read anything by her, but this new movie's getting great reviews.
Someone should tell them they spelt the title wrong.
I feel like she's one of those authors you read within the context of their own time. How can I put this... you read certain authors to get a good feel of what literature and the novel were like at a certain point in history. The quality of her writing is so-so, but if you find yourself liking other works from that time period, give it a go.
