I think this is kinda missing the point. You don't go to Nietzsche to learn about a contemporary formula for theology. He is attacking philosophy and religion at their fundamentals. Zarathustra is an attack against Socrates as much as it is against Jesus. Personally, as a man of faith, I go to Nietzsche to learn about how the modern man can learn to be creative again, how to interpret myself against the masses, and how to learn about reality from art rather than the other way around. He is sort of a the prime skeptical philosopher when it comes to aesthetics, and he writes to express beauty without any notion of pretensions or comforts - he is genuinely dedicated to what is undeniably special and sacred of the western tradition and what it means to be a man.

How long did it take, anon?

How long does it usually take to get reception on RR?
I put my shitty work in progress up on there and I'm in the middle of the 6th chapter. I wish someone would tell me if there's anything really wrong with my writing already.
I feel like I might be doing something wrong and I want to address it but I'm not sure what it could be.

I guess It has only been like 2 days though.
I've touched it up quite a bit this past week.

I have been sitting here thinking hard for if I have ever heard anything more stupid since I started browsing this fucking board 5 years back.
I cannot.

I don't really consider myself religious
But anytime I think of god I think of Buddah.
Is that normal? I don't know but there's just something about Buddah telling me in my dreams that I'm better off without women after my first break up.

You'd think they crack down on fucking movie sites or porn sites but no they gotta go for fuckin' books.
God damn globohomo.

I've been sifting through Goodreads and some others but I can't seem to find a site that really helps me find what I'm looking for.

Most of the romance or young adult books I find are literally made for single women in their 40s who never married. Is there somewhere I can go to find good recommendations? I feel like there has to be a site somewhere with good selection.

If nothing else I guess I can ask you guys since most of the time I find some really decent ones here. I'm looking for romance novels for men, none of that dogshit made for single mothers with multiple love interests.

I've recently read Neural Wraith, Let the Right one In, Circe, Life and Death, and Monster Girl Mountain.
I'm not into Harems or LBGT shit.
Contemporary stuff is what I'm after but like I said, I haven't been able to find a decent site to filter out shitty tags to help me narrow down my searches. If anyone has any recommendations for sites or just books please let me know.
I noticed that lately a few book websites have been shut down and one of the ones I used the most was http://b-ok.cc/ which is on the sticky but no longer works.

Thanks.

How interesting that the less islamic islam becomes the more interesting it gets.

Nevertheless, I don't really understand why you would go for "quaking-in-fear-and-worthlessness" sort of semitic navel-gazing mysticism that doesn't lead to anywhere interesting when you have much better developed mystical traditions in Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, and even Christianity.

You have to be careful what you possess, otherwise you will be blackmailed - not by robbers, but by the things themselves; think of your parents and their furniture.

"Nursie," said the princess, "why won't you believe me?"
"Because I can't believe you," said the nurse, getting angry again.
"Ah! then you can't help it," said Irene, "and I will not be vexed with you any more. I will give you a kiss and go to sleep."

Not a "start with the greeks" memer but ancient philosophers came up once in a conversation with friends and one of them said none of their opinions or ideas mattered because they fucked little boys. I had no response to that.

Alright /lit/fags first time poster here. I need to find a book for word knowledge. I had a test I failed similar to the asvab with English words I have never seen in my life.

The worst part is, they had no context. They asked for synonyms and antonyms of words in multiple choice.

Where do I look?
