To show how enlightened she is, of course. I'm a cis white male and shave my armpits because it smells better.
I prefer this picture.

So I know we have a pretty big contingent of /r9k/-posters on here, which is why I propose that we start a reading group. Everyone else who happen to share redpilled views in this regard are of course welcome.
This group would have as its focus "anti-women reading" and we'd go through famous works by authors such as Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Weininger etc., and less known authors such as Elliot Rodger, not to mention utterly unknown but perceptive comments made by anonymous posters on 4chan's /r9k/ and /pol/ boards that I've collected over the...

Women are God's masterpiece.

When do recommendation threads become a bannable offense?
>I hate women. Recommend me some literature
Thread solely created to discuss women
>I hate niggers. Recommend me some literature
Another /pol/ thread in /lit/, not about actual recommendations
>I think people that believe in God are crazy. What should I read?
You want to discuss how stupid religious people are, and that doesn't belong here, this...

Fear and Trembling :^)
So, is it any good? I've been thinking of reading it for quite some time now but it's very expensive and I would like to know what you guys think.
>>8220925
Stop spamming this shit, you boring faggot.
>>8220929
First time posting in lit. Sorry if it's overposted, I should have checked in the archives.
>>8220935
Also, stop this retarded "is it any good?" shit when you've yet to read the book.
Do you have that little faith in your own ability to discern quality literature? Pick up the book, read it, and find out for yourself instead of getting a bunch of pseuds and frogposters to validate your choice in literature
I read the Politeia and Nicomachean Ethics. What's next?
>>8220855
Guys?
Sorry man, I can't help you. Thank you for the meme though
>>8220855
What is your philosophical goal?
If anything read the Republic, since Aristotle responds to it.
Hey /lit/ does the Dover Thrift version of Rhetoric by Robert Rhys (192 pages) differ from the Penguin classics Art of Rhetoric by Hugh Lawson (304 pages) in any meaningful way?
>>8220833
i like this meme
>>8220849
I can't read Hebrew though :(
>>8220833
I own both. I'll go and check.
I've only read 4 books in my entire life, but I'm ready to stop being retarded
please tell me what books to read
I recommended postponing reading Nietzsche, and to first study Aristotle for ten to fifteen years.
>>8220795
The Ego and its Own
>>8220795
The Twelve Chairs
Books that could be half their sizes due to repetitiveness.
>>8220775
It's good nonetheless.
The thing is, it makes you go through a prolonged experience of the character's state of mind. Suffering ain't short when you literally are so poor that you have to chew on old bones and vomit while doing it.

It's only about 100 pages as it is
Hi senpai, I want to write a fantasy novel but I don't know if I should write high fantasy like Lord of the rings or low fantasy like the first Game of thrones book.
Any thoughts? Which do you prefer?
Don't write fantasy at all faggot
>>8220722
High Fantasy allows for less restrictions on Imagination.
Just do it well if you're going to do it. Be original. I hate seeing simplistic cliche'd storylines and already existing world cultures superimposed on some generic Shannarashit fantasy realm.

Oh look, another one, here's your name-tag: FantasyWriter#8195420. Trust me your book will be anything but novel.
What's the best list of the essential non-fiction books of the western canon?
>>8220715
My diary desu.
>none fiction
>Canon
Literally does not exist.
None fiction have a short revenant life. Unless you mean philosophy, in which case start with the Greeks
>reading non-fiction
lol stay pleb
This is my summer reading list for university. As a french international student I am not familiar with most of these anglo authors, outside of Borges' Aleph - which I've already read - and Durkheim's The Rules of Sociological Method - which I am planning to read in French. What books should I bother with, /lit/ ?
Also, what do you think of the list in general? I know nothing about the authors but some of those titles irritate me. Feel free to talk shit about it if it deserves the hate.
/sci/ here,
Gowers Very Short Intro to Mathematics is actually quite good and also quite short. He's a well respected mathematician and actually knows how to write. Feynman's Six Easy Pieces is also worth a read. The rest of the "science" curriculum is trash, especially Brian Greene. Avoid.
enfin, nike ta mere espece d'encule :^)
Koestler is actually a fantastic author and Nobel winner (for Darkness at Noon). Sleepwalkers is a fun book. At least check out the description.
C.P. Snow is a classic as well but somewhat dated, and a bit one-sided. Check out the Baden neo-Kantians and the Geisteswissenschaften and Naturwissenschaften division in addition - as a Frenchman, you are probably well aware of the clout of the "human sciences." C.P. Snow is representative of the Anglosphere, which tends strongly in the opposite direction with neo-positivist fixations and science fetishism.

It's been a while since I've seen one of these, but who are your favorite poets?
I've always loved WB Yeats, but I never really read anyone else besides Shakespeare and Eliot.
>>8220546
Ezra Pound because he was redpilled about Jews
Emily Dickinson for her dank ass rhymes.
Jem Casey is the man for me.
What does /lit/ think of The Ego and Its Own?
>>8220519
A bit much spooky for my taste.
>c r e a t i v e n o t h i n g
It's a surprisingly optimistic and inspiring work—almost like a half-time locker-room pep-talk by the world's most motivational football coach, tough but sweet.
is it good? seems to have been popular when it released but it something makes me think it was trashy and simple.
>>8220502
You really, really, really shouldn't read anything written by a women.
>>8220512
Kys plox.

Play sports, drink, get laid. Books are for fatties and losers
