look, we're not all intelligent enough to survive in the real world, hence, we create activities, hobbies that let us escape our failures and deficiencies.

Furthermore, the world we're living in is so condensed and compact that competition exists in all possible and imaginable areas of life, and we just cannot keep up. So you tell me to improve myself for the world that I did not choose and does not want, where I say I tried and failed. I now retreat to the corners of my mind where it is safe, where i enjoy living through escapism.

The horus heresy series is good, gaunts ghost started off really strong and lost steam later, Eishenhorn is top notch Ravenor is even better.

Need book #6 in my life already

The Witcher book saga is intricately superior to the already amazing games.

Geralt is a G.

>>680671021
True. A lot of the material i read in these books contradict itself and is just plain none-sense. But at least I could point out these things to those who might get tempted to read this material.

Yes I am looking forward to the read.

My kindle saves so much space but I miss pulling a book off the shelf and flipping t through the feel of the pages every once in a while. N not to mention book shelves make me feel a lot smarter than I actually am

TERRIBLE BOOK, PROBABLY FOR KIDS AND LONELY HOMOSEXUALS

>>680668560
English major chiming in here just to say that "much faster" would be absolutely be correct in that sense.

>Altered carbon
altered carbon, reaad that, some interesting existensialism about a clone of you wouldnt be you because of the experiences from the point of inception would be different. or some such, pretty good

>>680671609
Occult material is interesting in that a lot of it borrows from the workings of Buddhism, the efforts of writers like Aleister Crowley is hugely understated, crazily convoluted or not

that guy sounds like such a douche though.

>>680671909
It is. I have absolutely no intention of practicing any type of magick. I'm fully aware of the dangers of doing so. I'm just fascinated with the fact that there is "another side" to this life; there's so much more to what we see.

>>680672389
That's the whole point

>>680672088

I just finished Domain Driven Design by Evans, I'm halfway through Enterprise Integration Patterns by Hophe and Wolfe, and I'm almost done A Clash of Kings by Martin.

I don't know what I'll read when those are done.
