This too, not being another anglo circle jerk and having authors of other languages is a must.

Also, there should be a more fair way to decide what we'll read.
>first person to get dubs chooses the author.
Would be great

I'm currently reading 6 at a time, but only 3 I read regularly, while the others more sparsely.
Bigger books end up taking a lot of time to finish but I don't mind.

>at what point does it get out of control?
When you're adding books faster then you're finishing books.

TIME TO READ SOME EROTIC FICTION

Is using a pen name still the way to go?

Pretend I'm going to heroically save all those people and fake tripping to the ground "injuring" myself like a soccer player and by the time I'm "fine" to walk again the train already killed them all so I liberate my mom, quietly telling only her that my plan was, since the beginning, to rescue her.

The Dosadi Experiment is pretty great. It's got frog people that are part of an intergalactic cabal attempting to develop a form of immortality, so I'm surprised dumb frogposters haven't utilized it yet.

Herbert is my favorite author, but his prose is definitely the worst thing about his writing.

Okay I've been looking for a straight answer to who he is and what he believes. My brother used to idolize him and Eckhart Tolle, and he still likes them, but he thinks Harris comes off as arrogant now. I've tried, but I can't get a clear answer to what Harris is about.

I think my brother likes how dispassionate and impartial he sells himself as. I also think Harris's influence has caused him to embrace subjectivism somehow.

Can anyone point me to the most essential 1-5 hours of listening or reading? Probably gonna take the plunge and listen to JRE 804.

Actually I've had many conversations with women, and I've been laid twice. Women are grossly overrated.

>women, blacks, muslims, Asians

Sub-Humans, you mean.

His writing is thoroughly alright.

SOMETIMES that's enough.

It's like food. You can't eat caviar all the time. Sometimes you have to come back down to earth and eat a bowl of porridge or something.

What I will say is this:

Heaney's Beowulf > Tolkien's Beowulf

Pic related.

I am about to tear Thomas Paine a new asshole in my politics essay by invoking de Maistre, Nietzsche and to some extent Burke.

Wish me luck.

You're right.

Calling Marx mediocre is generous by /lit/ standards.
