What does /lit/ think of primitivists like Zerzan and Linkola? Are they supreme edgelords or do their ideas actually have merit?
Why don't they go innawoods?
Their ideas are nice and fun to think about but ultimately they are condemning a lot of people to death. I think there is a nice spot between Industrialization and primitivism that should satisfy the anti-authoritarian left and the radical ecologist.

Pretty sure that's the point. A nice medium might be post-scarcity anarchism, like Bookchin?
Is there a /lit/ approved economics reading chart?
>>7967745
Wealth of Nations
Capital
The Joyless Economy
Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy
Ecomomic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844
General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money
The Affluent Society
Road to Serfdom
Small is Beautiful
The Gift
The Great Transformation
Philosophy of Money
make a chart of this; i can't think of any other deserving ones. maybe "debt" if you want to extend the chart to new stuff in this vein
/lit/ is absolutely retarded when it comes to economics and money, considering the boardis mostly NEETs and undergrads. why would you want a /lit/ approved chart

This is a pretty excellent list honestly, but I think The Fissured Workplace and something Austrian might complete it.
/lit triumphantly threw his backpack down and sat in his usual, favorite seat in the library.
"Yes! once again I'm the only one here on a Saturday morning. The neandrathols must have slept in after a night of barbaric hedonism"
/Lit took out his brand new Kindle and admired his smile in its reflection.
"only 6 of 8 gigs used. I need to step it up, lol! Let's see what my friends over at Reddit and Goodreads have to recommend for this summer's reading list."
As /Lit was adjusting his Fedora and loggin into his Goodreads account, he...

your post is hard to read but it didn't make it desirable to do so. i suppose not being able to read has stopped you forming the realisation /fit/ is gay and will be sucking cock in a cottage this summer, but i thought the pictures would have made even an illiterate cop on to it.

Grammar snobs are patronising, pretentious and just plain wrong

Grammar promotes clarity.
It also serves as a social class marker, and I'm a class snob so I don't feel at all ashamed of being a grammar snob as well.

Stop making these /pol/-/r9k/-tier threads where you just post a shitty "controversial" article.
This board is for the discussion of books.

About to read this straight off the bat, no introduction to philosophy or nietzche. What am I in for?

Misinterpretation.

Well, if I disagree with him I don't understand right?

Confusion and probably giving up after the second section. Zarathustra is not a book for the unlearned or lighthearted.
Which author has the best studio?

Douggie Hartland's writing office is pretty nuts in a brilliant, eclectic sort of way. Not that it comes as any surprise really.
me lol

Saw a couple pics of Ronaldo Reinhardt's a little while ago. Was sort of sparse and tasteful and minimalist in a really appealing way
Describe your gf/crush/whatever in the style of your favorite author. Go.

She's a man.

is it true us universities have to give out trigger warnings for literature classes cause students could feel traumatized by reading eg ovid?
just google it
many publishers of classic literature in america now often have in-text [TRIGGER WARNING] inserted before potentially controversial or offensive scenes
>>7974819
did it and found they do. but is this something they do voluntarily or is there a collection of books that are considered dangerous to students or do students just demand it. how is it dealt with in yr experience?

Musashi
pretty damn good, read Vagabond a year ago and thought I'd have a go at the original story.

Argentina
Don Quijote. It's pretty good.
22
Kansas
The Man in the High Castle. I'm enjoying it, only about 70 pages in but I'm not too psyched about the whole multiple story lines that end up converging aspect. I've just never been a big fan of that
How should one interpret this book?
this board does not deserve to talk about this book. You people are just a bunch of disgusting teenagers spouting "don't over analyze it dude... ABSURDISM!!". I despise all of you

Meursault is the second coming of the Christ. Without any heroism, he accepts to die for the truth
>>7967043
It's literally just LMAO absurdism.
>Meursault is the second coming of the Christ. Without any heroism, he accepts to die for the truth
Kek.
>>7967043
If anything it's a reinterpretation of Christ, not the second coming.
How do I read this book in public without looking like a pedophile?
Read the plain $10 penguin classic edition.

Most people will just think, "Wow! Look at this nerd, he's reading a book." Don't worry, anon. The world doesn't care about literature anymore.

Whoever uncultured enough not to have heard of Lolita needs to be slapped in the mouth.
I visit /fa/ every now and then for thinspo threads to save pics of qt's and general fashion inspo. That's about it. Every other board is toxic. So is /fa/ but I just get in and get out with what I need. Lit is alright, only place I can go to for book rec's and stuff.

/g/ can be good. Go there for tech info.
/fit/'s fat hate and motivation threads are good. Go there for motivation
/wg/ is good. Dank papes r nice.
/gif/ and /s/ are great. Quality wank for the quality man.
/pol/ has livestreams. Go to /pol/ for debate livestreams.
/s4s/ is nice board. Go there for nice stuff.
>>7973178
/lit/orexic checking in.
I go on /fa/ for the thinspo threads and /fit/ for the fat hate threads.
Other than that mostly just /lit/. I go to /pol/ every once in a while for some cancer.
I don't go to 4chan. It eats up time, litters ones mind with garbage, fosters apathy and cynicism and rewires your brain to addictive behavior that lowers concentration and builds insolence

>reading books instead of socializing
This is why you fags will never get a woman.
For fucks sake start with making eye contact with people, smiling and saying Hello. 90% will reciprocate, the other 10%, who cares.
Then, once you work up enough courage to leave the house go to a coffee shop or grocery store and repeat the above, but this time add small talk.
Don't worry if its stupid or pointless. They're paid to be nice. If you spill enough spaghetti,...

I already make eye contact just fine, same with smiling and saying hi
And I can make small talk just fine too
But it takes a lot more than that to get laid homie

It really doesn't.
