What are some books about broken, dismal men?
MY
REAL NASTY GUY
BIG FAT MISTAKE.
How do I win arguments/come out on top when bantering?
I've bullied when I was younger, youngest one in my family, always had an unpopular or controversial opinion and I'd get shut the fuck down. I have some friends but it always ends up with me being the object of ridicule when we poke fun at each other. In arguments I never feel sure of myself or my position. And I never win. It could be a shitpost fest on 4chan, it could be trying to argue a point in a professional setting or having a political discussion with friends and family.
If someone disses me, I'd diss them back but my insult would be just... terrible. People could insult me and I'd be genuinely upset but I can't seem to dole out similar verbal punishment to others.
How do I become a verbal gladiator?

Meant to post this in adv oops
Wow, a real woman on /lit/?
What does 'philoscopic' mean? Is it even a word?
God damn, do you guys even read? Help me quick with this!
>>8026015
It's a word alright.
>>8026088
Maybe I'm spelling it wrong?

the botnet want to control your biologica funtions.
He is trying to found a progressive syndico-anarchism for all the AIDS viruses in his body and in society at large. We oppress the AIDS politically by virtue of conceptualizing them as "part of" "our" bodies, robbing them of sovereignty and the possibility of authentic discourse. Only by everyone getting AIDS in bath houses and shaving their heads and dying of AIDS can the AIDS finally be free, and so on, and so on.
postmodernists are retard commies in denial. drop foucault if you know whats good for you
you, just by the mere fact you choose to come on to this board and choose to read this, are a faggot who will die never understanding what it is to be loved, essentially never actually achieving the requirements of passing the tutorial mission of life. meaningless, you will be forgotten, never even loved by your own family or furthermore yourself - a hollow human being who has only achieved one thing: proving that in some cases human lives are indeed in some cases entirely worthless. you will do one of two things - shrug this comment off in its entirety because you don't want to hear anything else but comments that agree with your "rounded" understanding of reality or perhaps you will be angry and want to engage. The problem is that this is the first and last time I will ever visit this board so you have no way of communicating with me. if you are reading this, please know that most informed and non-brainwashed folk would be thrilled if you fucking killed yourselves. you don't know anything apart from the echo-chamber you willfuly allow yourselves to live within. KILL YOUR-SELVES...you are hated by everyone - both those in the right and those in the wrong - go shoot up a school or whatever you failures of existence do. At least it'll generally only be americans you kill, you'll be doing us folk in europe a nice favour. Urgh. I just wish I could adequately convey just how objectively worthless you are. I could try all day and I'd still fail. Just, please, PLEASE, kill yourself.

Does anyone have an idea for what might be the best edition for Hypnerotomachia Poliphili?
>>8025765
I don't know. The version I have I've never been able to find again. I'm not sure if that should concern me.
>>8025765
I have the epub off libgen (IIRC), but I would not recommend it, personally.
>reading a book with that pretentious of a title
Kierkegaard is trash.
Prove me wrong.
>>8025583
why is he trash

He was an INFP and INFP is the best class you can spawn as so you're just objectively wrong
>a whole chapter dedicated to the fixing of Lucy Mancini's huge-ass vagina
I like this book a lot but I don't think that was really necessary. They could've estabilished Jules as a character just with Michael's operation.
Also, how do you guys feel about this book?
>>8025402
>they
I'm thinking in movie terms again. I meant him, as in Mario Puzo.
I really like it. Maybe not very explicitly, but it raises interesting ethical questions, it's fun and written well enough. Except for that vagina chapter, of course.

This is a very slow board, you don't have to bump every 5 minutes.

I'm not op, sorry
Any books that you could rec me that is similar to Stephenie Meyer's unfinished Twilight Novel, Midnight Sun?
Yeah I'm a pleb I guess, whatever
first time I've been happy in a while, read all of it in one go, was unable to stop reading, time passed so fast
Preferably a Pdf for whatever reason
You might like Dracula, which pretty much started the whole vampire novel trend.
Also I'm pretty sure Meyer's work is also inspired by the novel Wuthering Heights, so you should check that out as well.
>>8025386
>>8025396
I think I'd like these, been meaning to get around to both
I think I'd quite like something romantic and easy to read
I liked the twilight books but Midnight sun seeing it through Edward's eyes and being a part of his mind was something I enjoyed, especially because in the twilight books he's quite mysterious and it was to see his much more complex point of view
if that helps define a bit more why I liked it
probably not
If Confucius is so profound and important why are all the chnks left out of the history of philosophy?
because you touch yourself at night
>>8025327
Confucius wasn't profound. He formulated a way of life that kept the going social order intact and so has persisted.
>>8025327
Who said that Confucius is profound? I have never heard this.
Have you guys read the Ramayana? If so, what do you think about it? Would you recommend it?
>>8025282
I read it for a world lit course. Not sure who the translator was since it was in an anthology, but I liked it quite a bit. I've heard the Mahabharata is even better, but I haven't read it. Look around for what is the best translation and then go for it OP.
Is it OK to just watch the 2008 TV adaptation instead?
>>8025282
Yeah but don't read the Hari Krishna translation, they clandestinely added their own Hari Krishna agenda to their version.

What do I do if I'm trying but very shitty at it?
Reading it I just individually translate every word into English in my head, and hearing it I miss 90% of what's being said unless it goes one word at a time. Am I too stupid to be multilingual?
>>8025271
how long have you been "trying"

Without being sarcastic, what exactly is wrong with what I posted in this archived thread:
http://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/17680350/#17680910
Only answer sincerely. I understand I may receive no answers at all, but I would appreciate at least one.
Is ANYONE reading it?
Why /x/?
>>8025358
Last time I posted something here I was told to put it in a critique thread, which I could not find this time, so I posted it on ecks instead. You can read it from the archive, though. Are you bothered to? Its reasonably long.
I don't know why I chose ecks. People always upload "creepypastas" so I presumed they would just mistake it for one or think that it is close enough to being one.
I think ecks reads. There are many Christians and Pagans on the board, which requires knowledge pertaining to literature.
