What was the last book you bought?
why do I see this picture so much on /lit/? is the book really shit or something?
>>7941358
The woman holding it is pornstar, Sasha Grey.
>>7941345
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.
>>7941362
>pornstar
>not knowing she is also an author and philosopher
do you even wikipedia, bro?
>>7941371
Yeah, well. When most people think of Sasha Grey they are going to think gangbang facial abuse not author and philosopher.
>>7941371
If she's a philosopher then my dog is a fucking philanthropist

What do you think, if you had to take a guess?
I bought a 40 years old copy of Winnie the Pooh for my gf
>>7941438
I'd think licking toilet bowls certainly makes you question your existence, though i wouldn't be sure if she had anything meaningful to say, besides from "don't lick toilet bowls".
>>7941438
i'd say both her throat and her literary abilities are in better shape than yours?
>>7941345
I haven't bought it yet

>possible at understanding philosophy let alone existential thought
She took this picture only to seem interesting and/or intellegent. She clearly is trying to placate the idea that she is a useless whore(which she is) by trying to prove she is more than that (which she isn't)
Not bought myself, but someone gave me Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country. I haven't started on it yet.
>>7941345
>"The basic writings of Existentialism"
She's pretty much reading pic related and I'm to think she is intelligent?

Im going through a doorstoppers phase
>>7941591
Well I like to get stoned, put on my earphones lay down and listen. Plus if I'm walking or driving I could listen I like. Depends how you normally spend your time.
>>7941426
She's reading an Intro guide to existentialism. Im guessing she isn't a venerable philosopher
>>7941591
If you commute a lot, or are planning on a road trip, definitely try it out. I wouldn't say it's necessarily easier or harder than reading. If you read at a higher level, it'll be a slower process. But hey, it's still reading.
>>7941591
I also forgot to mention, if you sign up to audible you get a credit(free book of your choice) and every month after that day you get a credit. So it's pretty sweet.

Once I see books consistently recommended on here I make it a point to buy them.

I just ordered a box set of all the Narnia books. Only $5.
Before that I got a book on Sharaku.

Since when did manifestos count as literature?
>>7945585
You sure about that?

She probably chose existentialism because it had the longest name.

Why are we so obsessed with forcing the thought that she couldn't comprehend a book like this or that she wouldn't even care if it weren't for some social benefit? I'm not claiming that she's genuine or the opposite but the fact that we're apparently so obsessed with it shows that we're pathetic as fuck.

How does a female take a picture of their own face then? I don't get it.
my gods, I visit /lit/ for the first time in years and sashagreyreadingdostoevsky.jpeg is one of the first things I see? Has anything changed at all?
>>7947191
Did you expect anything to change?

the satanic bible. interesting read. I wouldn't go so far to call myself a satanist, but i liked and agreed with a lot of anton lavey's philosophies. It's a fun topic of conversation when visitors see it on my shelf and ask about it.
>>7947191
>my gods
>>7947204
Visitors? You mean your mother when she tries to change your sheets?
>>7941345
I'm sorry but after seeing the shit she's done in porn, I couldn't have a serious conversation with her. Yeah it's shallow and yeah it's immature, but I can't look at her without remembering her gargling three dicks and licking a toilet rim.
Anyway to stay on thread topic, I bought this big ass hardcover copy of Macbeth.
>>7947215
If anything that makes the whole conversation more interesting.
btw, nice pick anon
>>7947204
I swear I remember reading that actual Satanists call LaVey a capitalist hack who only did that stuff for financial gain. I wouldn't be able to take a person like that seriously.
>>7947219
It's one of those Signature Shakespeare types with stencil-looking portraits for each scene. I really like the detail the manufacturers put into it. I wanna try to find a good biography on Miles Davis while I'm at it.
>>7947220
Well of course he did it for financial gain, that's the whole point of satanism. It's a self serving set of philosophies.

I'm actually interested in this book. Has anyone here read it? Does the author discuss existentialism and the writings of existentialist authors or is it just a "collage" of snippets from these authors? Not sure if I'm into the latter.

being a sex worker nowadays implies a nihilistic attitude towards one's body. i think it adds to her philosophical character
