Since the copyright on pic related has now expired, I'm interested in owning a copy for academic/research purposes.

As far as legit, currently available and preferably scholarly copies go, what do you recommend? I'm also interested in an annotated NRSV Bible and annotated Atlas Shrugged with commentary that isn't cucked to hell and back on either.

Do you know this young prodigy was already published at the age of 18?

No I don't, and if I lived in Poland I'd kill myself, not my parents.

Still, she is one of the greater edgelords. Of the same caliber of edge as Varg Vikernes, and ahead of Brett Easton.

Probably not. I value the social aspect of reading, being able to discuss plot and characters with people like you guys.

George_Santayana.jpg

Besides the standards of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and the early Greeks + Rennaisance Humanists, who are philosophers that put the poesy in their work as well?

I nominate as severely under-read, George Santayana

"THE stars lie above all countries alike, but the atmosphere
that intervenes is denser in one place than in another ;
and even where it is purest, if once its atoms catch the
sunlight, it cuts off the prospect beyond. In some climates
the veil of earthly weather is so thick and blotted that
even the plodder with his eyes on the ground finds its
density inconvenient, and misses his way home. The
advantage of having eyes is neutralized at such moments,
and it would be better to have retained the power of going
on all fours and being guided by scent. In fact human
beings everywhere are like marine animals and live in a
congenial watery medium, which like themselves is an
emanation of mother earth ; and they are content for the
most part to glide through it horizontally at their native
level. They ignore the third, the vertical dimension ; or
if they ever get some inkling of empty heights or rigid
depths where they could not breathe, they dismiss that
speculative thought with a shudder, and continue to dart
about in their familiar aquarium, immersed in an opaque
fluid that cools their passions, protects their intellect
from mental dispersion, keeps them from idle gazing, and
screens them from impertinent observation by those who
have no business in the premises."

I have no idea, but I saw an RL copy of this thing in a fine bookstore the other day, and I was impressed by the edition. It was about the size of a DVD player. I almost asked the guy to take it off the "pls ask" shelf so I could look at it, but I didn't.

When I got home and looked it up online, it turned out to be one of those things where it was a big deal but kept secret for years until they finally did a wide print a few years ago(?) I don't know much about the culture of psychology so I might be misrepresenting that.

I read Tropic of capricorn from him. I dont think i ever read something similiar to his style. Nihilistic rants, vulgar language mixed with long, flowery description of "pussy". I really liked it, maybe cause i was 15 or 16 then
>>
>>7660747
His sex scenes are amazing, so vulgar, crude and downright disgusting in a heavenly way. He doesn't have all that much to say but he says it with such authenticity that's applaudable. Raw stuff, unrefined, no class, and that's where the appeal lies. Makes you see how rare it is for a novel to have absolutely no airs about it.
>>
this book makes the life of a jobless whore fucking hobo seem appealing. he writes so honestly about his carefree Paris days you can't help, but feel the delight of living on just bare necessities

What's a book that will really make me feel like I am transcending reality? Something that will make me feel like I am not just sitting alone in my room, but something that will make me feel like nothing around me is really real anymore?

I've never read bible myself, but I have transcribed few lectures about bible itself. I would say it's a good read and yes, interesting.

The philosophy /lit/ guide suggests this book, which I didn't read yet. But you should be aware that, since it was written by Anglos, I'm certain that it has an analytical bias.
