another one openly denying scientific fact and substituting their own reality as a valid reason to deny facts. What a shit show this place is.
Again if you haven't seen the extreme collapse in competency you need to touch grass.....a lot of grass.

1. Brothers Karamazov. Actually read this one first, started this book in 2018 after finishing my A Levels and was quite isolated. It definitely made me more interested in literature again and made me appreciate the little things more. I‘ll always love Father Zossima.
2. C&P. Mainly because because I could identify with Raskolnikov so much, also he had a great friend.
3. Idiot. Sometimes you‘ll hate the prince because you‘ll think what a fool, but you‘ll eventually learn to appreciate the „christ-like“ character of the Prince. I watched a theatre version of this one and was disappointed how foolish they made him act, almost cartoonish.
4. Light nights. Just read it, very short and beautiful.
5. NFTE. This is what I‘ve read during TBK (it took me very long to finish it) and I loved it at first and could identify with the MC very much. After I thought how I would rather transmute from this mentality and thinking to a more Zossima like one. I definitely still am more like the Underground guy than Zossima but I know I don‘t want to be like this just a cynic guy who‘s afraid to be authentic because you fear being hurt.
I’d say the best advice one can get from reading Dostoevsky is: Just be yourself (do not lie to yourself), do your best, let it happen and trust in God.

Go back where you came from, you brown garloids. Religion isn't going to replace the sense of ethnic belonging you lack. Much less terminally online religion and some holier-than-thou fetishization of theory.

This was written by a woman, wasn't it? I can feel the feminine energy ooze out of this confession. The aversion to strong, short words. Every sentence sanded down to avoid saying "Nigger, fuck, shit, piss, cunt." And even in a civil setting where harsh words aren't needed, a man speaks straight and to the point. This effortpost could have been reduced to; quit being a lazy faggot and write.

>It's me

What did the funny christian man mean by this?

Could be worse. At least you didn't fuck it up completely at the end like me.

>reading book in a park
>girl stops nearby and asks what I'm reading
>"lord of the rings"
>"oh, I always wanted to read that, is it any different from the movies?"
>proceed to have conversation for 5 minutes about LOTR but also book reading in general
>she mentions how after reading for 20 minutes her mind starts wandering and she has to re-read the same page like 3 or 4 times
>"I think it'd be easier if I had someone to discuss the books I'm reading with, but none of my friends are into books"
>"You could try finding some online communities for it, that's what I do"
>she says "oh alright" while staring around awkwardly for 1 minute
>excuses herself for interrupting my reading and leaves

>literally 10 seconds later the realization hits me full force
>too beta to go after her and exchange communication methods
