Who cares about money, aim for virtue and power.

But, if you read enough youll realize monies lack of value, thats what an raynd taught me atleast.

Pick one nigger.

It also shows that scientific objectives are based on feelings too?

>feelings/reason dichotomy

Did you ever really think about the above, or do you just blindly regurgitate every single meaningless trope society has ever fed you?

All ethics can be reduced to feels. Everything normative can be reduced to feels. That does not make it unsound.

Philosophy teaches you to think critically and rigorously. It may even teach you the virtue to stop being a frogposter.

I didn't say feels were unsound. But obviously deciding what is sound or not is based on feels.

Do you really give a fuck?

>What about walking around the city with a book in my hand?
Walking around reading is stupid and impractical though. Sit the fuck down and actually focus.

Library?

If it's a sunny day and you feel like enjoying that shit instead of sweating and smelling indoors, just fucking do it you dolt

Very good writer; Vienna, Viennese literary styles, and Austrian society and governance were really distinctive and he was a master at using them / depicting them, combined with a strong personal style.

The Metamorphosis. Second-greatest masterpiece of 20th century prose.

He was a genius of his era, but also had a sense of humor that holds up to this day. Also I was surprised with just how much empathy I had for Gregor Samsa.

2666 and The Savage Detectives are both pretty highly-regarded here.

>>8265397
2666 reads like a wikipedia article

>>8265397
I'm really interested in reading Savage Detectives. So far I've only read By Night in Chile. I just bought Monsieur Pain and plan on reading it soon, it was the only novel of his that my local bookstore had to offer.

Is that a good or bad thing? Honest question.

Turn off your computer. Go sit somewhere without your phone in reach. Practise.

I became an avid reader like three months ago and I can't stop. I stopped watching tv and I don't spend much time on 4chan anymore.

Here's how I did it.

-Remember the average person reads like zero books a year. If you read 5 pages a day, you are 5 pages above the average person

-Don't force yourself to read. Commit to read 5 pages a day. I swear after three days you'll feel like reading more and after a month or so you should be reading 50-100 pages a day for pleasure

-Read various books at the same time. When I grab a difficult...

probably something to do with you taking books out of the shelf and inadvertently moving it slightly now and then.

and step on it

>>8265319
I don't take any book from that shelf. It's one of my oldest shelves so every single book there I have read and I don't really reread any of them recently, it just happens.

Let's say today, I pushed them all back to their place, if I wait a week it wouldn't be visible, but if you were to push with your finger they would slip back into their place. I'm going insane over this, I swear I stood over my bed one morning staring at that shelf.

>I want to be a pretentious pseudointellectual.
well you're off to a good start.

You don't have to read anything to be a pseud. You don't even have to own any books, though it helps to have them as props.

it was pretty good

It feels offensive that some people will read this but never read The Divine Invasion

>>8265240
How is the divine invasion even remotely related?

>>8265158
Depends, some things benefit from a reread (either to catch details and nuances you didn't see the first time, or just because it was good enough to want to experience again), others you can finish and be okay with having finished.

>>8265165
Yeah, depends on the book. Most of the time, I just read certain chapters that left an impression.

I've probably read The Alchemist at least 6 or 7 times.

Deal with it, h8rs
