I've heard he's one of the best writers of recent years, but everything I read about him makes him sound uninteresting.

There's probably something to it, with how much hype its gotten. I found it boring and unprofound.

I read his other book, a time for everything. I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of it, but by the end the way he described things became repetitive, boring and eventually frustrating.

Me and the gf are gong to be reading pic related in the next few months - I fear she has somewhat of a headstart on me due to having frequented a course on the book before, but we'll try and get through it at the same pace, maybe I'll ask her about the stuff I don't immediatly "get".

I decided to go back and finish my university degree.

It's politics, so pretty useless; but I'm interested in doing it properly, this time. The trouble is that every module has a shitload of 'recommended reading', by which they mean 'skim read and pick out anything that looks important' - which is bullshit, in my opinion.

I'd rather they assign, say, 5 books, to be read properly. Here's a list.

It's not Nietzsches fault that Plato is a shit tier philosopher.

my diary

Have you read before the novel Infinite Jest by acclaimed author David Foster Wallace?

>>8191086
No , I rarely read belletristic.


So , if someone has some suggestions , I'd like a medicine book based on a single disease but multiple diseases are good too.

>>8191094
Then just read it academically?

>>8191045
Franzen every question.

>who would you rather read
tao lin

>who would you rather meet
tao lin but they both seem insufferable

>who would you rather fuck
why are you asking these painful questions. they're both so ugly. but fine. tao i guess.

>who would you rather drop dead right now
franzen. i hate him whereas i only dislike the other guy. his works are utter garbage and don't deserve any praise whatsoever.

>>8191045
Lin for everything except the last one.

You need CONSCIOUS, ACTIVE, THOUGHT to read and understand a book.

Movies, music, and even audiobooks, require little for your mental thinking to be working. It's what some people can say as white noise, or background.

I mean really anon, don't you already understand that when you sit down on your chair, open the book, and stare at black and white text, you're putting more thought and action than blandly staring at a screen.

People hate movie/TV people because most modern stuff is garbage. Kind of in the same way that most modern books are garbage. Similarly, most of everything created ever is garbage. However, humans have made a crap ton of books over the years so the tiny percent that isn't crap is actually a large absolute number. So most TV sucks but we're on 4chan so we have no high horse here.

>>8190956
not trynna sound like a fedora tipping gentleman but obly idiots deal in absolutes.

There is trash in both merit and trash in both mediums.

self help book for 13 year olds

>>8190955
It's alright, yeah. Nothing mind-blowing, and i'd certainly rather kids read it than Neetzche.

>>8190963
13 year olds these days read sublime works of Stoic literature by Roman emperors? Wow, perhaps I've misjudged them...

>>8190898
Just started reading it. What am I in for?

>>8190921
It's a very strange book. It's kind of hard to follow because Vonnegut keeps jumping around and time traveling and messing with the plotline. It's all over the place, really

It's alright but I don't see why it's a classic

>>8190898
I thought it was ok and the whole think of everything alive and dead ideology kind of dumb. I also didn't like the style of writing, but over all i still thought it was a good book.
