Where can I read controversial, banned or otherwise red-pilled books? Any books written by "dictators" like Gaddaffi's Green Book?
You can literally find Green book with google, you edgy moron

Hogg by Delaney seems right up your alley.
Unfortunately even the most obscene books, like the last couple of chapters of 120 Days of Sodom or Las Bas or whatever are easily available on Gutenberg, and shit like "A Little Life" with the same subject matter was up for the Man Booker this year. As far as esoteric rants against Jews, those are easily found on stormfront.
If you want "super sekrit" anti govt tracts, just use btdigg and type in mind control or 4th reich or something:

Anyone remember how to access JSTOR?
Some anon posted like io.science or some postfix like that.
Any Japanese literature/philosophy that advocates or supports a lifestyle of libertinism and sadomasochism? I need to give my evil Japanese character some stuff to read.

Just about to read The Dead and then I've finished with Dubliners. Where to next with Joyce?
Also, general Joyce thread since there are a few specific ones right now.
Chronological you dip
>>7843172don't you mean "The Dub-Liners"?
Portrait, then Ulysses.
Joyce only wrote a handful of things. You're worse than the guy on /mu/ asking where to start with the Pixies. What sort of discussion do you think can possibly blossom from this sort of thread? Please delete it.

He is right about the turkish deal doe, it's no good

You'll never get my photo, tee hee!
BATMAN: Pynchon's at it again. He's terrorizing Gotham by denying them knowledge of what he looks like today. I have to say, even I want to know. Does he have a beard? A moustache? What do his eyes say today that those old fifties photos don't?
ALFRED: This is exactly what he wants, sir. You're playing right into his hands.
BATMAN: I know. He's diabolical. Alfred, is it true he smokes weed, still, at his age? Does he stay lifted morning to night?
ALFRED: It's been said...
BATMAN: It's over. I'm too weak for...

Anyone into the NYRB Classics collection? Anyone have any good recommendations from it?
Going to be reading these next:
Tun-Huang - Inoue
Fatale - Manchette
The Sun King - Mitford
The Siege of Krishnapur - Farrell
The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner - Hogg
the english translation of tun huang is unfortunately quite bland and uninspiring. really belies the quality of the book

Literature is so fucking boring.
Life, friends, is boring. We must not say so.
After all, the sky flashes, the great sea yearns,
we ourselves flash and yearn,
and moreover my mother told me as a boy
(repeatingly) ‘Ever to confess you’re bored
means you have no
Inner Resources.’ I conclude now I have no
inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
Peoples bore me,
literature bores me, especially great literature,
Henry bores me, with his plights & gripes
as bad as achilles,
who loves people and valiant art, which bores me.
And the tranquil hills,...

Read some contemporary literature or some adventure stories by Jules Verne or Robert Louis Stevenson. Search the NYRB Classics site for the word "violent". If I read nothing but Middlemarch and Pynchon all day because some faggot on a Tibetan Frog Drawing site told me too I would kill myself.

/lit/izens, did you ever read a lightnovel?
Do you wanna talk about them in general? Lightnovels are just anime bullshit, fixed into a book, or there is something more?
In my opinion, if there are good anime, there must be good lightnovels.
>>7842653
You want to talk about them without having read any?
Like with everything else, there's a few good ones, and a lot of garbage.
>In my opinion, if there are good anime, there must be good lightnovels.
The logic holds, yet there aren't good light novels. What does that tell you?

Would reading the entire bible help me digest more information from Thus Spoke Zarathrusa? Or just the old or just the new testaments? If not, other than the greeks and Nietzsche's other books, what would help?
Why is Thus Spoke Zarathustra so fetishized by young men? Is it because they all want to basically go Super Saiyan?

Searching for a novel. The excerpt was in one of my textbooks, and every now and again it'll come to my mind and bug me.
I've no exact details. It was next to Sorrows of Young Werther, and also by theme it's probably romanticism or at least early realism. Probably buldungsroman, German or French. English less likely.
I'm almost certain it was written in first person. It was about a very shy older boy. He's acting too young for his age, a bit spoiled and very attached to his mother. He gets send to his room while his parents entertain some...

Sorrows of Old Werther, obviously.

Here you go OP. The part you're talking about comes from the famous Overture (Combray I) at the beginning of Swann's Way, where the narrator talks about his struggle with his parents to receive a goodnight kiss.
That's it. My memory was a bit distorted, but I had a vague recollection that it's from extensive work.
