Recently read this and really loved it. I plan on getting into his other work, but I can't find any copies near me now. Any other writers that write fiction as compelling as this that are around the same difficulty level? I'm a pretty substantial pleb.
why are people so hard on themselves? sure you're entry level af in terms of proper literature but in terms of general fiction readers you are superior to 95% of readers
other than some famous examples fiction isn't difficult. Really just a matter of patience and having the correct approach. if you really loved Stoner you are good on the latter
How many words do you write a day? Like working out, I can never stick to writing for longer than a few days before failing miserably and doing nothing.
Where to go after reading the greeks? lmao I plan on reading the Tanakh, Bible and Quran, but I'm pretty sure the jewy stuff was happening at the same time as the greeks so my timeline is already fucked up, and wouldn't reading the Christian stuff and the Roman stuff at the same time be kind of confusing?
>It's difficult to love a woman whose vagina is a gateway to the world of the dead...
>Steve is madly in love with his eccentric girlfriend, Stacy. Unfortunately, their sex life has been suffering as of late, because Steve is worried about the odd noises that have been coming from Stacy's pubic region. She says that her vagina is haunted. She doesn't think it's that big of a deal. Steve, on the other hand, completely disagrees.

>>8107115 No. It's not that, because if it was that, it'd be going against the grain of the genre. In fact, it's shit in its own genre simply because you can make sense of it.
I got into trying to do philosophy on my own because I realized I always tend to see both sides of a perspective which results in an inability of deciding on anything. I'm trying to develop a world perspective but I never went to university so I don't know how to approach research from a scholarly perspective.
Any recommendations on books about how to do research? Where do you go for reliable statistics? What are reliable statistics? How do you research other than a simple google search?
>>8107024 >I don't know how to approach research from a scholarly perspective. If you are interested in studying philosophy and doing so from a scholarly perspective, 1) go to university, but 2) read secondary resources. These are academic texts and journal articles that you can, by hook or crook, find on the internet for free. There is the stigma in (non-academic) philosophy of avoiding anything but primary texts, but to properly understand any but the simplest primary works you must build... Comment too long.

> Sources examining the classified 28 pages of The 9/11 Commission report reveal that writer Don Delillo has been allegedly implicated in the orchestration of the September 11th attacks. Confidential sources allege the writer is the main focus of the classified pages which many are calling for Washington to make public.

real question though, are people on /pol/ so stupid they don't click on the source even if it's given? I know reddit encourages only to read the headlines and go straight to the comments, but is it /pol/ co-opting reddit or reddit co-opting /pol/?
>>8106992 Portuguese, which is really sad. 6th most spoken language in the world. Still, France and Germany still manage to have more translations than we do.
I genuinely do not undertand how people with no artistic sensibility can withstand the gut-punches modern life throws at us at a daily basis. If it weren't for art, or creation in general, I would have ended myself.
Would you have ? I was reading Rilke recently, and he gave the following advice to Kappus : that if Kappus could not live without poetry (which means, killing himself if he couldn't write), then he truly was a poet. What do you think about this ?
These new memes represent an entirely new school of literary thought for us to idolize, and a refreshingly daunting example that we can use to appear superior to other boards.
Even as someone who's had a passing (mostly nostalgic) enjoyment of the Harry Potter mythos, I couldn't give less of a shit about this. based on context alone It doesn't feel at all like it's intended to be a genuine continuation, and it isn't even written by JK. A cash grab, through and through.

>Joan Didion One of the most lucid and well written American authors I've had the pleasure to read, I think her essays showcase the "idiosyncratic objectivity" that'd become a staple of contemporary journalism - her self awareness (like in her Migraine/Anxiety piece) is equally inactual.
