>Audiobooks is a superior form of consuming literature because it reflects the ancient tradition of oral storytelling, and you're mad about it because you're too stupid/slow/inattentive to follow, and need to 'go at your own pace' like a petulant child, missing on the music and emotion found in a beautiful recita-

What an exciting time to be alive

The reason he is a poorly drawn bird is because that is how PunPun sees himself. It is a way for the author to show a faulty narrator.

Hey, things are going on around PunPun. Wait, why did punpun change from a bird to something else?

Woo wait, PunPun was lying? And now that the admits that hes lying, he is yet another thing?

The libery Asano takes with PunPun's form allows for patterns to emrge with PunPun's life, usually dealing with sincerity. When PunPun is lying to himself, or others, he changes, and the form he takes on is symbolic for why he is lying.

>Actually, it's simple unless you can explain how it's complex,

No. You started the argument. You made the claim. The burden is on you, do your own work. (Though I did indirectly just give you an example above)

The state of the world is bleak. It has always been like this but humanity didnt understand that in the past, and hid it behind things. Now there is nothing else to hide behind. The worst of the worst is here, that everything will die and wont come back. He tries to extend this as far as possible, to make it as bleak as possible.

This is made to contrast with something else, in order to engage the reader. Its probably the only thing this book sets out to do.

Who will carry the fire? Will the boy? Even though everything is as bad as it is, in the end, with the boy going off with the stranger , do you have faith that the boy will live, that he will carry the fire?

If you believe he wont, then he wont. If you believe he will, then he will, because the reader is the boy, and the book is asking you, will you believe, will you carry the fire?

Shit book, though I respect it.

It will deal with the problem of authenticity and sincerity.

It will deal with the breakdown and mixing of culture, where all cultures from the past and around the world are known and brought back to make new culture. Strong focus on the East, since its the strangest to the West while still being comfortably familiar.

It will be against the post-modern, however this is defined. It will be against boredom, incompetence, patience, and most importantly, irony.

It will justify the reemergence of the hero.

Recommendations for getting into world history? A good solid few or one to give me a decent idea about most of it.

His evidence are the arguments you made to defend yourself. He got progressively more angry with you the more you typed.

Look, what hes trying to point is, why the fuck does it matter that youre quoting a dictionary? Why? They arent an authority on this. The dictionary is something to help with function, it doesnt actually deal with the metaphysics or representation.

Hes asking what the sun is and youre answering "Its what makes food grow"

>oh ok, so i will name stories i have read that slightly touch on the this issue
Please do

>besides there are no more original stories only unique ways of telling them

See thats what I thought, I mean im sure there has to be someone out there who has thought of this idea. But Ive found no one, and it seems strange since its a pretty obvious idea
