Is reading /fa/? Is philosophy /fa/? What do you read, any favorites? Recommendations? I'm starting on Neechee.

no, it's a pointless waste of time for people who are content to just say "we'll never know" instead of actually try and find an answer to things.

i like to read Hermann Hesse, not sure how good the translations are though.
The importance of being earnest by hemingway is also a very funny book, try that

>> No.13697223

>>13697049
Thomas Mann is pretty good in the original. No idea how the precise use of words holds up in the translations though.

Not yet but it's on my list. I don't have much time for reading in summer because of uni and just got back into it recently.

Steppenwolf is a masterpiece, i was suicidal and felt like an outsider when someone gave the book to me. really changed my view on a lot of things, im still depressed though lol
reading about fashion is always tricky because you cant see the garments, so just buy fashion books with pictures and magazines (i like old 032c before they catered to the hype crowd)

nietzsche is a horrible place to start just b/c everyone will think you're a pseud if that's all you've read.

if you're just looking for /fa/ clout read histories and travel logs. try polybius and diaz.

Sure. I’m partial to 20th century French philosophy — Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Bourdieu, and some of the works by Derrida and Baudrillard.
