Unfortunately I do not but I sometimes can sneak in reading because I work both blue and white collar activities. Thinking it's time to use a sick day next week.
>word count this draft going over 80k
Thinking this is a good sign that I had so much more to say about my scenes on second look. Next draft I will tighten this up to keep it less wordy.

Also fuck jannies and in case the right anon sees this, here is my response to your post, I was not fast enough to get it online before tranny faggot nigger jannie needed to kill threat because "off topic" active and fruitful discussions are a no-no in the currebt year +7.

Some say women dont love the way men do. Thats what the Thing post was about. Many women only feel "love" to the extent that other women are jelly because of what she has. So she "loves" you because other women show her that you are a valuable man. But that is not what love is.
Look up the 7 words for love by the ancient greeks, it clears up much of that different types of love stuff.

If a woman had strong male role models in her life growing up and carries within her strong morals and is virtuous I would go as far as to say she may be able to love a man if he too is virtuous.

I have an outline for a 4 book dark fantasy series, but I want to write 3 one-off books dealing with history as a theme first, all in different genres. The series has a lot more characters, and there's also things I need to answer personally before I know how it all ends. My hope is that I can have more experience and coherence on my feelings about its themes by the time I start writing it.

This is a lot like the trend of people tuning to 432Hz with the thinking that it would produce a greater expression of musical truth and beauty when really it just sounds out of tune.
Could be interesting nonetheless, unfortunately Deleuze does none of the heavy lifting to demonstrate what could be possible in non-representational linguistics. The whole thing just ends up being a big fuck everything.

this is why i love 4chan

I'd say just jump right into TSATF. AILD is great in it's own right, but the first time I read it I disliked it. While it may be similar in overall structure and thematically, technically it's much less complex and experimental.

The best introduction for the novel is the first section of it. Benjy's section starts out really patchwork and you may find that you understand very little of what's going on, but as you read through it you'll start to notice things and be able to piece some of the narratives together. Just read carefully: you don't need to understand what's going on, especially at first, but keep an eye out for italics and bizarre/nonsensical syntax, which usually will mean a jump in thought. Pay attention to what Benjy's doing, how people talk about or treat him, etc etc. Think about the impressions things give him to understand what they are as well as what benjy thinks of them.

Try to get into Faulkner's rhythm (maybe not the best word for it) and idiosyncrasies: if you can do this then you'll be able to keep up much easier when he starts dropping punctuation and jumping rapid-fire across different thoughts.

At the risk of sounding like I'm sucking the novel's dick, it's really not the type of novel you can prepare for. Academics have been studying it for decades and can't make heads or tails of a lot of it (Sartre has an essay on it where, in my opinion, he misunderstands the novel heavily). I've read it cover-to-cover five times and reread portions here or there frequently and every time I open the book I get something that before didn't make sense or that I previously interpreted differently. There's really nothing like it. READ IT
