I don't buy books usually because i have so many books on my backlog i haven't read yet and most of those the copyright is expired on anyway and i can get them for free.
And i read them on my phone, because i'm always on the road.
Ok /lit/ say movies that are better than the books that are on. I'll start:
Jurassic Park.
Godfather
Psycho
The Shining
Fight Club

He's entertaining but I disagree with almost everything he says
The kids today love far right thinkers.
Was he the most depressed writer to ever live?
>hear Cioran is supposed to be this deep figure of infinite pathos
>read his stuff and about him
>just endless livejournal whining
>constantly taking cringy pictures of himself looking sad
>>7941762
Apparently he enjoyed life. He was just really pessimistic. He's like those nihilists who go full "YOLO" instead of whining.
>>7941762
Not sure, but he's writing certainly puts him as the most cynical. But beyond that, and more essentially, his ideas have no holes, he follows them to their Natural conclusions. His insights are actually uplifting.
Though, given his propensity for purple prose, coupled with his educated thoughts, indicates a lot to the contrary. Delightful, witty, self-indulgent, and above all marvelously superfluous. God bless his soul.

Is there any country with more advanced literature than Germany? I don´t think so. All the good shit was written by german authors. Goethe, Schiller, Mann, Hesse, Kant, Kafka, Brecht and so on and so on and so on.
Proof me wrong.
PrTip: You can´t
>Kafka
>German
Next up you'll be saying Neitzsche was German.
Historically, Germany is right there with Greece. Then a gulf.

but he wrote in german sooooo...
Why aren't there any good Philosophers born in the 20th century?
There is.
There is.
Write an original, amazing opening line. The best you can possibly come up with.
I got broads in Atlanta
Thirty feet he dragged him, endless effort in an endless ocean. Thirty feet he swam for dear life trying to save a friend, trying to save a life he had yet to realize was long gone.
He has taken my voice for misusing His name, now my life will be wasted on listening to others talk about nothing.
