never even heard of kirkpatrick sale but he sounds very interesting. sounds like an eco-guy and i like those guys, they're usually pretty interesting. cheers for the rec

>pynchon
ok seriously was he actually here a few weeks ago? or did we just get memed? that's one thing

i actually haven't read GR yet but it's on my list. i'm expecting it to be awesome & i'm sure he's a very interesting dude.

>this is great because i spend a lot of time stuck high in though and then the other stuff i do is purposely in my life to bring me back down to earth. pynchon and a couple poets are some of the only things that can do both at the same time
yeah. fiction is cool. i tend to binge on philosophy but fiction writers can do stuff and communicate stuff that opens up all kinds of new doors or just expresses things in ways that theory can't. thomas mann has this effect on me, mccarthy obv. no doubt pynch will as well, i'm ready to be a believer there

poetry is no joke either, the really good stuff only gives you more of the feels the more you read it. i can't think off-hand of the poets who really got me: rilke for sure, robinson jeffers i learned about through /lit/, some of garcia lorca.

this one gets me.
