What is Riding the Tiger? Embracing degeneracy but not enjoying it?
No, surfing the wave of degenerate age until it crashes, neither partaking in it or resisting it outright.
>>7638661
If you don't partake in it, isn't that resisting it though? I can't wrap my head around that.
How would you explain Evola's philosophy and worldview in few words? Is he similar to any other philosopher/author? People talk about him a lot here and I'm curious.
What do you think about this book?
Also, do you like this cover or which one do you prefer?
>>7638605

I like that cover, it really gives you the
THIS BOOK IS A SATIRE ON COMMUNISM feel
Is the 'patrician' just a prefabricated identity for those 'sophisticate' consumers who wish
(or think they wish) content consumption was capable of fulfilling the role of a meaningful experience? Is /lit/ essentially a space for consumers to reinforce this dynamic myth of the 'sophisticate' consumer through a series joyless and endlessly repeating rituals?
Patrician is a quality of book, not a quality of person. Only plebs use it in the latter sense.
>>7642220
nah, pleb archetype seems a boogeyman/justification for consumer habits. So you saying patrician-ness is some nebulous quality that is found in patrician content?
I spend most of my time looking for high-end authentic content that reflects my unique personal brand. its way harder than it looks
Self-insert fanfiction.
>>7641653
Pretty much.
>>7641653
Yup.
cicero did it better
A profoundly and arrogantly racist work, grounded entirely in baseless supposition and sweeping generalization. It reads like a fervent and heartfelt prayer whose direct answer came in the person of Adolf Hitler. It may be true that Nietzsche, in contrast to many of his contemporaries, was not an anti-Semite - however, his unmasked contempt and loathing for the infirm and marginalized members of society looms large and ironical given his own eventual fate.
The chief point of interest that I found in this work was his speculative exploration of morality arising out of...

How many pairs of cargo shorts do you own OP?
this is the literary board. maybe you all could help me develop a sentence in 32 characters. I want to say that religion is a cult and god is a concept for mind control. Thanks.
>>7640913
>at this moment i am euphoric
23, not 32, but gets the point across
>>7640921
It doesn't have to be 32, it just has to be under 32. sorry I didn't make that clearer.
Just paste the best line from the anime villain monologue you got it from
I'm new to /lit/ haven't read much throughout my life, want to start now, where should I start with for Philosophy and Fiction?
Either the Greeks or read >>7628174
>>7640700
>where should I start with
The Greeks
Here's a quick little starter kit for all those who want to get into Literature and Philosophy:
The Story of Philosophy - Bryan Maggee
Defence of Socrates, Euthyphro, and Crito - Plato
The Cossacks - Leo Tolstoy (Maudes Translation)
About Love & Other Stories - Anton Chekhov
The Iliad & Odyssey - Homer (Personally, I'd go with Fitzgerald)
>vividly imagine every personal confrontation turning violent
>mentally prepare myself for a worst-case situation every day
>suspicious of the motives and true feelings of others, from colleagues to close friends
>obsess over small things said/done as being indicative of a greater attitude
I've once considered a comprehensive plan to potentially set my best friend's lawn on fire. Control and communication have always won out so far....

i do the exact same thing OP
i'm 6'4 but whenever someone confronts me my body starts pumping out massive amounts of adrenaline and my eyes start watering and my body starts shaking uncontrollably, i also can't speak properly while it's happening
there have been brief moments where i've genuinely been able to enjoy something without this sort of anxiety and i can say they've been the best moments of my life
A Scanner Darkly
>>7640609
You know me so well OP
Why is he never discussed here? He's pretty good, senpai.
Too English, probably. History of the World in 10.5 Chapters was pretty great.
>>7640094
It was. Flaubert's Parrot, too.
His new book is coming out, so I was surprised no one mentioned it.
>>7640080
Because he's a shitty phrasemonger, this is why he's so liked by all the plebs. Go read some real literature.
What are your favourite poems, /lit/? And why?
Image is my favourite poem.
>>7639489
teen love
needy texts
empty sex
>>7639489
>And why?
The Raven because it's the most perfectly constructed poem in the English language
>read novel
>it's about a struggling, nonconformist artist who has numerous sexual flings, frequently does drugs, and lives a bohemian lifestyle
so stop reading jewishly acclaimed shit and read something good

I can't find a single bad review of this, anywhere
Is it really that good?
Where are you looking for reviews, friend?
That's funny, I've never seen a good review about it here.
>>7635198
Googling, I don't know any book review websites
I only ask because someone posted a page of the book, and it looked like, with zero hyperbole, the worst page of fiction I'd ever seen in my life, and I'm baffled as to how any human could even bear to read a whole book of it
/lit/ what are some good books to help with my argumental debate skills? Or just books in general to help me get my points across more clearly. I like to consider myself well-read (somewhat) and I do read a lot but I would like to strengthen my speaking skills since I've noticed I'm not very good when trying to discuss certain topics.
Aristotle's Organon
>that story where the guy ends up raising the kid his wife had with her prior black husband
Could someone explain what the point of this was besides Sherlock Holmes saying it made him warm and fuzzy at the end? Seemed like it was just about pushing a political agenda.
Exactly. Pro-cuckold propaganda has always been in vogue with the elites who pull the strings.
Currently studying love through the ages, these are the suggested texts for us to read for the course, which of these are the better ones? Also, if anyone can suggest any other books that could link into the topic, that would be useful
