We aren't talking about where the Villanovans' ancestors emigrated from, faggot we're talking about whether the painting on the cover of the book has anything to do with the content of the book. It doesn't. I thought that was funny. Some faggot said I was incorrect. He is mistaken. The rest of your pseudo-intellectual posturing can consider itself unread.

Also this post applies to you as well: >>9624908

What books should I leave lying around my apartment if I want people to think I'm a super genius (not just normal genius)?

I'm thinking...
>Being and Time by Heidegger
>The Golden Bough by Frazer
>Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica by Newton
>The short stories of Anton Chekhov
>Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus
Book by Wittgenstein

What else?

What's better when studying a fictional work, reading up on literary analysis and adapting the most popularly accepted interpretation as the correct one... Or developing your own analysis and interpretation over multiple readings, obsessively honing it down to a sharp and formidable theory that you will defend no matter how many people call you arrogant for believing you are right or that it's a hair-brained idea.
