Just read picrel and it fucking blew me away. Really loved all the questions it raised and social commentary. Anyone know any other great dystopian novels similar in themes? Preferably not Philip K Dick because I like variety in my reading
>>7383477
Fahrenheit 451 is a great book in my opinion. I'm currently reading Brave New World, but I'm not sure how I feel about it.
>>7383526
You're beautiful, thank you.
I thought no one would reply
Do books actually make you smarter? Or is that just a load of shit?
>>7383473
not if you read pieces of shit like that
>>7383482
What books make you smarter, then?
Not really, you can just parrot something someone said in a situation that you find yourself in.
What should I read next, In Search of Lost Time Vol. 1 or Infinite Jest?
Decide for me, please let me know.
I'm starting in like 10 minutes so be quick!

Is there anything more terrifying than staring at a blank page?
death

Staring at a page and realizing that all of the writing on it is shit.
"This page intentionally left blank."

Holy shit is there a worse person in literature than Achilles? "Best of the Acheans" my fucking ass.
Diomedes and Odysseus are the only reasons I didn't root 100% for the Trojans.
>>7383159
Reminder that Helen was in Egypt, not in Troy.
So yes, Achilles went full retard.
>>7383164
...what? Helen was in Troy. Even if she weren't, that would make Menelaus the retard.
>>7383164
No she wasn't.

What kind of place do you find most conductive to writing your great American novel? Pic related. Shitty diner in my hometown.

That isn't modernist.
>>7383156
Why not?
>>7383177
Modernism was a literary movement that ended depending on the country around 60 years ago.
I want to read academic philosophy journals but don't know which I should go for.
Any recommendations?
