That tingling on the side of your neck is your body preparing itself as you consider reading it. You won't regret it.

It's a mainstream novel about gen x detatchment, depression, drug abuse, escapism through entertainment, addiction, and family.
It follows an adult narrative, a teen narrative, and a political terrorism narrative.
It's written in conversational prose full of "like"s, American colloquialism, and the odd big dictionary word shoved in to be quirky.
It's a pretty quick and easy read (2-4 weeks at 1/2 hours a day) and it's a bestseller.

If any of this interests you, you can read it for the time it'd take to read 2 or 3 shorter books, you will probably at least partially enjoy yourself and maybe learn something or feel changed.

I'll let you decide if reading solid middlebrow popular literary fiction makes you a ""meme"".

>don't like reading philosophy anymore because I'm realizing none of my genius theories and ideas are original
>if I keep reading I can't take credit for these things I came up with on my own anymore
wat do?

Face your own insignificance. What you think may not be original but chances are the geniuses we remember developed/explained them better so reading them will give you a better understanding of yourself.
>>
you apply them to real-life examples. that's essentially all that academics do
>>
>>8202116

the only reason why you "came up" with so many "genius theories" all by yourself it's because you are submerged into them with the whole modern culture which is based upon them, reading philosophy books you just find it out

Who was the real successor to Kant, Schopenhauer or Hegel? What is the reasoning behind your choice?

Schoppy was the true successor, but Hegel set off on his own more and was a self made giant.

hey guys, i'm a big fan of political satire novels, and want to write one of my own. but i'm worried that, if something as good as the Yurope novels can't get published in print, how the hell can I?

What level of irony is this written at
I don't know if it's a serious attempt at satire or a parody of similar satire or an ironic acceptance of the original satire or some other meta shit
And the op is just as confusing
>>
Don't use real names and your pandering shit will have a fractionally less minuscule chance of being published than this.

It's pathetic pol tier trash. It relies on the belief of stormfront that Hillary will force the master race into decline.

You sound like a troll, if not, a satire book just needs to be funny and understand what it is mocking.

if this is the worst novel you've read of an absolutely fucking no-talent pretentious fuckwad then, no, you shouldn't. i've read glass bead game last year and I hated it so much that I didn't read any book for months, which never happened since i was 7 years old, just because this shit made me hate reading

Glass Bead Game is a very boring book with great ideas in it.
