Serial killing ain't what it used to be. Allegedly.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2011/01/the-decline-of-the-serial-killer.html

You live in a world in which magic works (not wicca stuff, I don't believe or disbelieve, but actual magic like Harry Potter eh?) and some villain locks you in a padded room for all of eternity, you can die and will live millions of years there, having robots serving your meal and wiping your soon-to-be-pastier butt)

But good news, you have been allowed to bring 10 books with you, and you can cheat by taking a whole series and counting it at one
>I'll take The Dark Tower (and you have the 8 books)
But ultimately it wouldn't matter since it's eternity we're talking here.

So, considering that you are here for eternity should you take books that talk heavily about this scary subject?
What would be good recommendations for that subject?
I realize it could be spoilerish, but I'll take my chance

>philosophy is literature

yeah lol no.

moot already explicitly said there will never be a /phi/losophy board. Besides, it would be a shithole of pseudo-intellectuals and new agers from /x/.

it wouldnt be very fun at all if you were actually a philosopher, like myself. pic related
