/lit/ - Literature

I want to leave 4chan and all internet timewasting but I have no friends or acquaintances to talk to irl. I am ugly and I'm probably not even a true r9ker, maybe just a really awful normalfag.

Are there any books, either fiction or non-fiction that I can use to replace 4chan? So when I get demotivated by shit I don't spend the next 8 hours on the internet, I spend maybe 20 minutes reading the book and then back to work?

I can only think of meditations by Marcus aurelius.

Hello /lit/.

I need a bit of help with something. I have to prepare something philosophical related to law (including phenomenology of law) regarding institutions. Now, we are given a lot of freedom in choosing our approach as long as it is something about liberty, institutions and the relationship between the individual and law.

The thing is, we will eventually receive some texts about what we have to do, but in the meantime the professor wants us to look over what we've learned throughout the years about law in a philosophical context and right and come up with something.

So, any suggestions on who I should read? So far the only ones I can think of that talked about law in a very interesting fashion are Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Benjamin and Derrida. Obviously, this is just from a quick brainstorming through "grand" authors.

This is all a bit too general though, I was hoping someone would give me some more specialized authors or at least some hints on the subject.

Should have majored in philosophy.

Also fuck jobs. Become a NEET/eternal vagrant.

It's not all your fault because if you majored in literature in Europe you would not be in debt and you would actually find a job.

All this talk of justice betrays a significant ignorance of its place in history.

Any employed philosophy majors in here?

After getting my Bachelor's in philosophy I plan on going for a Master's degree in something a little more practical such as Culture&Communication (semiotics, philosophy of culture, etc.) or Professional Ethics. I can't think of any other alternatives right now, but I'd like to know what philosophy majors generally do for a living. Also, teaching isn't really my thing, I'd only do it if I can't make a living stacking shelves or something similar.

Somehow I can't see Hitler as being the Ubermensch. The dionysian yes-saying and the things that it involves (dance, laughter, playfulness in the face of hazard, the artistic creation as life-affirming) and the affirming of the eternal return just don't seem to go well with mass murder.
