I love hardcovers. I want to be able to reread certain books after a few decades too. What's wrong with that, anon? Are you in a love affair with your yellowing pages, loose binding and creased spines?

If I'd buy paperbacks, I might as well just rent books from the library. I buy books because I treasure them, in addition to just reading them. Fuck me for attaching value to something, eh?

What are some books based on Epictutus' philosophy?
>>
>>8013818
Epictetus' books are.

There is a jumpscare gif related to the doll that has always unsettled me.
>>
>>8013818
Why not just read epictetus you mong

>>8013818
the problem with this comic is that it uses the metaphor of the game to infantilize nietzsche's will-to-power. this is based on the assumption that philosophical positions transcend life, and is therefore erroneous. nothing transcends life—the philosopher is not playing the game, he is a self-directed gamepiece.

Which ones do you recommend first? Also I thought he never wrote anything, he just taught what he knew orally

>>8013774
Is that supposed to be some black girl doll from the 19th century?

That's horrifying.

>tfw my greatgrandfather bought hardcovers that I can still read
Best feel
Why are you softcoverfags so insecure, though? Why do you care about other people's book bindings so much? Not the content, not the translation, no, just the binding matters to you.
>>
>>8013936
Sell it and buy another one

Rinse repeat

That way, in two years time, you'll be a mildly depressed owner of a second-hand bookshop
