one bookshelf of fiction and another of textbooks at my house.
another three bookshelves worth of fiction boxed up at my mom's boyfriends house.
~100 books
I feel like this place needs a thread to discuss theatre.
>what plays have you read/reading/want to read
Currently reading Angels in America (part 1). Surrealism is always a fickle thing; trying to imagine how the characters move without seeing the play prior to reading it is left to the imagination (which I have non)
>>8157676
Hitler and the Nazi party considered surrealism degenerate art.
If you want to be redpilled, you have to stop with that sort of subversive shit
>>8157682
Ahaha, being a stormfag is not the same of being redpilled. Being redpilled in the arts means that you can differentiate self-congratulatory,rehearsed lies masquerading as art and real art. From the sounds of it you don't know either.

There are some pretty obvious links from psychoanalysis and Freud (Jew "science" and a Jew respectively) to surrealism.
Educate yourself, sheep
So, how many of you have actually read "the ego and his own"
and what is your honest opinion about it?
>>8157604
I'm a redpilled white supremacist National Socialist who thinks the most important things in life are the traditional family, race-purity, and nationalism.
He didn't spook me one bit.
He has become a meme because it serves the cultural marxist globalist agenda.
>>8157604
I have.
It seems flawless logic to me, but I'm suspicious by the fact that not many people seem to agree with him.
The book forms a nice whole outlined by the first three pages. It's a "must read" of philosophy, even if you disagree.

"Woman is a violent and uncontrolled animal... If you allow them to achieve complete equality with men, do you think they will be easier to live with? Not at all. Once they have achieved equality, they will be your masters..... All mankind rules its women, and we rule all mankind, yet our women rule us." - Cato The Elder (around 195BC ; Rome)

Thread Question:
What's your favorite work of Sci-Fi or Fantasy not written in your native language? What foreign writers have captured your imagination?
>>8155979Tokyo Ravens.
It's like Japanese Harry Potter except Harry is actually Voldemort's reincarnation and Hogwarts was secretly run by Death Eaters from the beginning.
30 days until The Great Ordeal
Get hyped!

Also, not saying it was well-written by any means or that the fans who translated it into English from a Chinese translation were better prose stylists than your average hobo. It really did capture my imagination, though.

What makes this good literature?

I am prewriting an apology from the point of view of Ivan IV as he sits in this chair. I want to channel marquez in The General in His Labyrinth and make ivan an unreliable narrator.
The play just had its first preview and the plot is worse than garbage fanfiction.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/06/10/harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-spoilers-here-s-the-plot-of-the-play.html
Some highlights:
>This blond boy introduces himself as Scorpius Malfoy, son of Draco. Despite the kids’ open discussion that his real father could be Voldemort, Albus decides to stay.
>Albus is intrigued by this older girl with silver and blue hair
>Bane, the centaur,
>She tells him to get back to school or he’s going to ruin Voldemort Day.
>Every conversation in this alternate reality ends by people crossing their wrists and saying: For Voldemort and valor.
>Every girl at Hogwarts is hoping Scorpius—known as the Scorpion King—will ask them to the Blood Ball. The other kids do his homework.
>Snape lets him into a secret room where Hermione and Ron are in hiding. Hermione is the most wanted wizard in the world.
J.K. Rowling is already in full damage control mode and is calling anyone who discusses spoilers wormtails.

A novel adaptation of the play is coming out on July 31st.
So I've been reading Nietzsche, Dostoiévski and Bauman recently and end up concluding that I'm a nihilist who denies political institutes, moral values and the meaning of life itself. Hence, I see no point of spending time caring about life choices such as college courses, or a vague definition of success for instance. The result of all this scheme is a miserable, weird and hell of anxious 20 years old man. I'm slightly losing my interest in everything. What should I read, what would enlight me, what do I do? Not sure if I had to post on /lit/ or /his/, but here sounds good enough.

The metaphysical philosophy understood through the study of the spiritual Traditions of humanities high cultures

how does anyone go through those three authors and come out a nihilist
Why does /lit/ hate Stephen King? Or at the very least not think highly of him?
Too accessible. Standard /lit/ elitism.
Granted he has written some really shitty novels, but he's also written a few gems. It comes with the territory of having such a high output. There's also probably an anti-commercialist bent to the hate. I don't think too highly of him and I don't think I'm ever going to read him again.
Noticed a lot of self-insert wank. But then again what part of writing isn't ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
>>8147640
What did you last read of his?
Something
yeah

I want to read some non-fiction in between tough books.
Can anyone suggest a great biography? Something funny or something about war might be nice. But I guess the subject doesn't matter as long as it's interesting and well-written
>>8161092
Mein Kampf
>>8161092
Peeling the Onion by Günter Grass is pretty good I've heard, also talks about his experience in the war.
>"tough books"
What a fucking pleb.
