Post what you got again, then, we'll work from there

Okay fuckers, have you written a book? Well I want to read it. Seriously. Will read your book.

Post links to epubs or mobis would be best, but will accept pastebin or other bullshit

>I think they were all bros in different ways. If I had to pick one to hang out with, though, it'd be Thales.
>Democritus would be a total drag, Socrates would turn everything into a goddamn argument, Plato wouldn't be very fun, and Aristotle...well, I guess he'd be chill, too.

Gotta drop that knowledge

Seriously OP use that shit. Bare minimum you won't sound like a pussy for ending your answer with "I know I just gave you a totally legitimate response but yeah it was my bad 'cuz I coulda studied harder."

I'm pretty ignant bout these dudes, but here:

Socrates
>Old dickhead who was a dick to people, got executed for asking dumbfuck smartass questions. "Yo, where's that parthenon?" "Ovah there, mang?" "Yo, what's beauty?" "Son did you seriously?"

Plato
>Dickhead who thought that only philosophers (ie ppl like him) should be kings. Everyone knows people who think every was a fucking moron and that life would be awesome if everyone was as smart as they are, right? Plato was the fucking original dickhead who thought he was smarter than everyone else

Aristotle
>Fucked up ideas bout gravity, but the birth of modern science aint bad. That was him, right? Scientific method and all?

Democritus
>Literally never heard of this dude

Thales
>How do gay boats move about?

>I failed to meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress policy largely due to an unfortunately timed bout with influenza: the disease struck the week prior to Finals Week. Despite significant efforts to restore my health and dedicate myself fully to my academic responsibilities, illness prevented me both from adequately preparing for my exams, and from allocating sufficient effort necessary for several final papers due the following week. That week, I sought medical attention at Student Health Services in the [omitted] building in an ultimately vain effort to mitigate my symptoms, preventing me from demonstrating my knowledge of the course material. Despite the best efforts of Student Health Services, and the enormous wealth of technology that is modern medical science, my symptoms lasted through Finals Week. Though my performance was below both what is expected by this institution and the standards to which I hold myself, I feel that my grades less reflect my commitment to scholastic achievement than the virulence of the microscopic parasites that took residence in my sinuses.
