/lit/ - Literature

But, anon, I read 2 hours everyday.

Bullies used to call me Frankenstein

I like war but I'm afraid to actually go and fight in one. Men always comeback stronger and fearless from war. Like they got nothing to lose. I want to have that nihilistic feeling inside of me but I'm afraid to suffer the pain of war. Physical pain and tortures. Also just dying like dying like a retard. What are some books that will help me beat my fear to join war?

>girl fawning over and boys getting jealous of the good looking guy from the new village
>guy drooling over and acting like a retard because he saw a beautiful woman
>it's the sidekick getting greedy and getting everyone else in trouble
>any female POV chapter
God I hate these

>YA fantasy
>meaningless romance between the fantasy
>non-YA fantasy
>it's a dumbed down version of malazan
what gives

What is it with literature that doesn't have the consoomer mindset that music has? Anons on /mu/ will shit on you and call you a tourist if you don't listen to at least 15 albums a week while people on /lit/ barely read and don't incentivize other anons to read. Why no one here calls me a tourist if don't read at least 2 books a week? Why is it that literature doesn't have that same feeling?

What are some books that describe the feeling of being the weird kid at school?

Where should I start with the cynics?

>he claims to read philosophy
>he barely understands what he reads
>just learns the name of the concepts
>looks for other people on the internet to explain them to him
Many cases

Im trying to get into reading. I have a copy of the repuplic. Should I start with that

I just checked Nietzsche's Will To Power and it's almost 700 pages. I have already read 7 books of him. Including Beyond Good and Evil, Zarathustra, Gay Science, Geneaology of Morality, Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist and Ecce Homo. Plus I'm planning to read Human All Too Human and The Birth Of Tragedy. Am I missing much if I decide to no read Will To Power? It's way too much pages for me. Also I already want to move onto the next philosopher.

How many books should a real nietzschesister read of him? I've already read 8.

If there is no truth ,nietzschebros, that means...

Is philosophy open to interpretation? I feel as if when we read philosophy we usually associate what the author is saying with our own thoughts. Is this the right thing to do or does the author trying to give us a message and we should just try to decipher it? Please help me /lit/

"How can we have free will in such a chaotic and cruel world" Is there any philosophy or book that represents this feeling?

I started reading this year. I've been reading Nietzsche late. Ever since I started reading this faggot I've been feeling down and questioning my religions beliefs. Is philosophy supposed to have a negative effect on you or are am I just weak minded? I feel like a silly rebelious teenager. Did this ever happen to you when you started reading philosophy, /lit/?

Do you believe in morality, /lit/?

If there is no truth why do I have take Nietzsche's truth for granted

>tfw it's real

What the fuck do people mean when they say "start with the greeks". Unironically I don't get it. Call me a newfag I don't give a shit

Fellas... is this book dangerous?
>Manson became especially obsessed with Chapter Seven, on how to get cooperation, and often practiced key lines in his cell, a former prison mate told Guinn. Carnegie’s advice—”Let the other fellow feel that the idea is his”—became vital in helping him recruit and control a band composed mostly of young women. Former “Family” members Patricia Krenwinkel and Leslie Van Houten (who was denied her 20th bid for parole last month) both say Manson mastered the technique: Not only did he often solicit and praise his followers’ advice, he was careful to frame every killing as a Family decision.

>Jackie Kellso, who runs Dale Carnegie courses in New York, says, “it’s a very hard concept to understand.” The notion of letting others take credit for your ideas goes against what most people are taught, she explains, yet “it’s fundamental to being a good leader.”
