/lit/ - Literature

here is a silly question, /lit/.
don't you hate it when you are reading a quite large paperback volume and the pages just won't stay opened on their own? you can push them down but they would fucking come back up!
can you advice me some prodigy of human technology which could prevent this from happening? something like a small paperweight to prevent page from closing.

Until recently I've been absorbed in dusty philosophical works, reading everything that is recommended (or as much as I can tolerate). But now after philosophical inquiries regarding the menial existence of my life, I want to read books that address the more general purpose of life. Now, I'm not looking for books that address the, oh so popular notion of death or meaninglessness (is that even..), but rather the right way for a human being to live it's live correctly. Now some would say that because of the ingrained nihilistic appearance of daily life this would be pointless. Now, I'll be needing a book (books) that addresses the purpose of human relationships, the seeking of adventure, knowledge, emotional upheaval or depression and such.

Any recommendations would be greatly revered.

I love (how do you even say it?) Memento Moris

What will you have on your death stand? Whose thoughts will occupy your mind in your final moments in the dying of the light, as the breath comes short and the cancer cells conquer organ after organ? Speaking for myself, I'll take Plato over Putnam, Boethius over Butchvarov, Aquinas over Quine, the Psalms over Sartre. Reading Quine at a moment like that would like looking for bread among the dusty and jagged shards in a stone quarry.
