Getting dragged around the world by a mopey Frenchmen

He proved that good bible fan fiction could be written

You got to give credit to dying as well. Its what calls us to give meaning to our living

I kind of like him but his overly political correctness bugs me. He truly does represent the zeitgeist of YA writers though

Mythology also talks more about the culture that shapes the myth.

if you want it told to you plain and simple read Mythologies (or some online encyclopedia). Its basically just to introduce you to some of the myths you will start hearing about.

Bibliotheca is like a wall of names hitting you straight on and pretty hard to take all in at once. It is pretty straightforward other than that though.

My favorite part was: For Lacan, the reality of human beings is constituted by three mutually entangled levels: the Symbolic, the Imaginary, and the Real. This triad can be nicely illustrated by the game of chess. The rules one has to follow in order to play it are its symbolic dimension: from the purely formal symbolic standpoint, “knight” is defined only by the moves this figure can make. This level is clearly different from the imaginary one, namely the way different pieces are shaped and characterized by their names (king, queen, knight), and it is easy to envision a game with the same rules, but with a different imaginary, in which this figure would be called “messenger” or “runner” or whatever. Finally, real is the entire complex set of contingent circumstances which affect the course of the game: the intelligence of the players, the unpredictable intrusions that may disconcert one of the players or directly cut the game short

not in the context of books. I don't think that it objectively signifies anything to do with race until you posted the picture of the beautiful man of colour.

It deserves a place in Christian canon alongside Divine Comedy and The Bible.

Great thinking hibari-chan

Where do the books come from? do they just break physical laws and appear?


I'd bring in Borges Library myself

He said philosophy asked the wrong questions because it was getting mixed up in language games

>confusing the concept of colours with cultural races

Getting this one out of the way early

Except for the women and slaves who still had to watch a John Green video captcha before browsing /lit/

I consider everything I do to be right. You can't tell me otherwise
