Put on Bolero for them as loud as you can, then at the absolute climax of the song start banging on the wall as loudly as you can muster shouting "YES! YES! YES!" at the top of your lungs.

It's a really good song after all. I'm sure you'll get into it as it goes on.

You're just being an ass at this point. If you're not willing to name names and point out what unpopular shit you actually like, then why should anyone take you seriously. You're taking an attitude I see mangafags take all too frequently no, there isn't any hidden manga masterpiece that you just have to unearth to see how good it can be, that's hipster logic

Is it weird that I’m entirely indifferent to people like this? Life probably hasn’t been entirely kind to a person like this - if you look at her apartment, it’s clear that objects have taken the place of fulfillment. There’s always a class of people whose worth is tied with displays of wealth, and they expect affection to be based on material. Ultimately, I just think to myself, “Well, then I guess I won’t be dating a person like this”, and move along. It doesn’t even phase me, and I think people like OP would be in a healthier state if they didn’t let it phase them either. There are many roads, and she doesn’t happen to be walking on yours. She’s not the first, and not the last.

Honestly, reading is fucking gay and makes you look like a total pussy bookworm bitch. No one thinks a person reading is deep, and most of the reading people do is performative. Don’t tell me you do it for yourself. Wake the fuck up.

Ultra-brainlet here. I want to learn philosophy and I'm looking for a broad overview. Soooooo.....

How is Will Durant's The Story of Philosophy?

Or should I go for something else?

I also found a book called Think It Through by a guy called Appiah. Is it good?

Anyone know good places to watch college lectures? Preferably nothing made purely as an online resource, but recordings of professors at actual universities.

Is this the greatest play ever written?

What do you think is the best translation of Goethe's Faust?

Have you read Goethe's Faust? In translation or in original?

Name: Dr. Faust
Description: "Darn-it Jim! I'm a DR. not a doctor," Says My bones.

Why: The most mainstream character in ever-way of presenting a story. based on the alchemist based on the pursuit of knowing and doing everything [IE polymath/neo-ducks,R-homme, H-unversalis.]

See all its workings, and its seeds,
Deal no more in words’ empty reeds. 385
O, may you look, full moon that shines,
On my pain for this last time:
So many midnights from my desk,
I have seen you, keeping watch:
When over my books and paper, 390
Saddest friend, you appear!
Ah! If on the mountain height
I might stand in your sweet light,
Float with spirits in mountain caves,
Swim the meadows in twilight’ waves, 395
Free from the smoke of knowledge too,
Bathe in your health-giving dew!
Alas! In this prison must I stick?
This hollow darkened hole of brick,
Where even the lovely heavenly light 400
Shines through stained glass, dull not bright.
Hemmed in, by heaps of books,
Piled to the highest vault, and higher,
Worm eaten, decked with dust,
Surrounded by smoke-blackened paper, 405
Glass vials, boxes round me, hurled,
Stuffed with Instruments thrown together,
Packed with ancestral lumber –
This is my world! And what a world!
And need you ask why my heart 410
Makes such tremors in my breast?
Why all my life-energies are
Choked by some unknown distress?
Smoke and mildew hem me in,
Instead of living Nature, then, 415
Where God once created Men,

I just finished reading Goethe's Faust. Are there any films that do this play justice, besides the 1926 film by Murnau?

Ok, I haven't been back her in almost a year, so hopefully /lit/ hasn't gotten too bad. . .

I've decided that I finally want to get and read Goethe's Faust. My question is, what translation should I go for, and if relevant, what publisher/edition/etc?

Yes, I know reading it in German would be superior, but I don't know German (yet).

Hi /lit/; this is my first time here!

Anyway; I'm trying to write a musical; and I'm not really sure how I should tackle it.
Do you have any tips/guidelines?

Should I write the book and then see where I can fit in music?
Do I plot it all out first?
Pic related- I'm adapting Faust; I want to make it a dramedy

I also want to have alot of flexibility as far as what actors can play what, but that's a whole other animal.
