How did things go so right?
it all ends in tears though
I preferred the Procopius version tbqh
And just remember, when she wrote it, she was still hot. While EVERY WORD YOU READ was being fashioned, she had a moist young beautiful pussy. Every little shift in her chair, probably even every single keystroke made her pussy move and squish around just a little bit inside her, her boobs jiggle and sway and mush together sexily. You are reading something that caused a beautiful young woman's big fucking tits and hot wet pussy to move, constantly, endlessly, for hundreds if not thousands of hours. You are reading a manifesto of blood, sweat, and pussy juice. You're...

Does /lit/ use the library?
Occasionally. I am obsessed with collections, though, so I prefer buying books.
I am also an absurdly slow reader so I rarely finish on time and it's annoying to drive 45 minutes to the closest decent library to renew it.

I read between classes in my uni library
Only when necessary, I don't like dirty dusty books.
>reading foreword to Men Among The Ruins
>starts talking about how traditional "history" was supratemporal, being based on space and rhythm rather than time
Am I supposed to understand this before I start the book proper? What does Evola mean?
>>7496674
THANK YOU EBOLA-CHAN
I LOVE YOU EBOLA-CHAN
Seriously, can anyone help? I thought Evola had a mild following on here.
>>7496760
Nah. Max Stirner is our hero (but we all want to be Wittgenstein).
You should try /pol/, I feel that their batshit insanity about conservatism inclines them towards Evola.
What dos /lit/ think of Blood Meridian? What's your interpretation of the ending/the novel as a whole? I've seen it on a bunch of charts but I don't think I've ever actually seen it discussed here.

Can a book save me from existential nihilism? I don't want to feel this way forever.

What are some arguments against antinatalism?
I don't know, but your existence is an argument in its favor.

Worth reading, or pretentious self indulgent garbage?
Also same for JR by Gaddis or Against the day by pynchon
>>7500514
oh crap meant this pic
>>7500515
Read libra and mao II first.
Underworld is fucking amazing
ATD is also fucking amazing but gets dry in the middle, if you push through to the finale its entirely worth it and by far Pynchon's best
JR by Gaddis is imo worth reading but only after you've read all of his other works or it comes across as pretentious self indulgent garbage. that or you need the patience of a stone.
also fuck Franzen.
Here are some books I've recently enjoyed

Why do you support the destruction of small businesses by buying your books from Amazon, anons?
Because I can get exactly what I want delivered to my front door for cheap.
Cheap
Easy
Better inventory

When you have all the time in the world, what is a for shitposts here and there?
One can really only know himself and his kind.
Two contradictory ideas that you are ready to believe, at that same moment in time, one being adapted from a certain nietzschean axiom, battle it out and the final arbiter is drawn out from his shell and released in full form, and one then knows, at that exact same time that neither statement is true and that we are judged by passion.
One might be seen as indecisive when one is really wanting to just go along and see how he feels about it. This is one who lives by his principles.
A return to form is needed....

why bother with capitalization at the beginning of sentences? we have periods. it's great for highlighting names, otherwise it's pointless.
inb4 follow it becuz it's the rule even though it adds nothing mechanical to grammar since we have punctuation and we just convinced ourselves it looks nice.
i don't do it on the internet. it's a remnant from an obsolete medium.
reforms have been tried but they never stick because >muh prescriptivism

Punctuation and capitalisation are used to rest the eye between sentences. I find it helps me concentrate more on what the author is trying to say, and let's me easily go back through the text and pick up something I would like to read again. Without it, I suspect the eye would be tired far more quickly having less structure to form a natural pause, and reading for long periods of time would be more difficult and distracting.

I got drunk as fuck for like a long time and was sad because my fiancee left me and I guess I hid a bunch of poems around my computer. I'm just now finding some of these.
"I'm filled with pain and grief
You're a bandit, a heart theif
You excel at your craft
Leaving the wrecked hearts of men in your path
Another love struck casualty
It started with magic, yet ended so tragic
This war is ruthless, cold and manic"
"You wear your heart on your sleeve
Pulled mine out, and wore it with ease
The poison is...
