Serenity, anon.
If not I mean, do whatever, hedonism is possible all around the west. Just pick your poison. Ppl will help you with that. They want your $.
>>8139164
I feel fairly comfortable in my knowledge that nothing can be genuine but that our constructs of sincerity are still enjoyable. I can't really force myself to believe totally in these constructs once I have seen their deconstruction.
>>8139217
OK. But sincerity is a social thing. You can do whatever socially and then live a life of virtue or love or harmony in your personal life.of course social life is a construct. We built it together. Construction and deconstruction shouldn't define your literary livelihood. Join in on our /lit/tle Hellenist faith. Sophia is a goddess I never knew I could love!
>>8139246

>>8140116
Oh and I also want to read my struggle vol 1, black spring, and death in venice if I can. Ideas for book a day: Giovannis room, nightwood, queer, the fall, play it as it lays, steps, cosmos, miss lonelyhearts, gilgamesh, baghavad gita, steppenwolf, under the jaguar sun, cheri, chronicle of a death foretold.
>>8140171
>Steppenwolf
What a slog. I love Hesse but... man. Its not a book you snuggle up next to or drink beer with. Maybe put that off until winter
>>8136616
this is my part nobody else speak
>>8140179
I blew through Siddhartha and Demian in a day so I thought why not for that one. Cosmos is the one I'm apprehensive about even though I love gombrowicz.
>>8140201
I love Hesse too, especially Siddhartha, but Steppenwolf was one hell of a slog for me as well. The style just isn't very attractive and seems to rely too much on the "woah this is totally me" effect, which wears off quickly.
>>8138896
why are u so mean to me :'(
>>8136610
>beckett
read some shorter plays too, like Play and Footfalls
>Shaw
Pygmalion's good but Heartbreak House is the shit
