damn dude are you ever like.... yooooooo, books

What are your favourite books, anon? Doesn't have to be anything terribly interesting or obscure, just some you enjoyed! Reasons why are welcome of course :)
I personally really enjoyed David Lynch's biography, Room to Dream. It's a wonderful insight into his creative processes and personal life, very engaging and valuable to artists of any discipline. Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut is fun too. I also found Kierkegaard's Either/Or really interesting, particularly in how he presented his ideas, I don't think there's anything else like it.

>living wage
getting real sick of retards putting words together and giving them a meaning other than what it should indicate. a living wage has nothing to do with the requirements for living and yet every cunt who uses it acts like you're literally going to die if you don't have a gluttony of food, renting a 4 bedroom McMansion, 3 iPhones with unlimited data, a netflex subscription, a disney+ subscription, 2 cars (on credit) with enough left over to raise however many children you have and still save for a house all on a burger flipping wage
how the fuck do you fight back against this doublespeak bullshit?

you must keep the volumes cool

Any of you worms ever read a book backwards, that wasnt some slimy japanese murder porn moot favourite? I read AA backwards and I got kicked out of AA, and then I became an alcoholic.

>Plato: There is literally nothing wrong with dying or being dead and everyone should acknowledge it and be ready to die when commanded.
>Also Plato: We must control every facet of people's lives and deprive them of any personal liberty or joy to preserve the continued existence of our state under penalty of death.

What the fucks the deal with this? Is death inert and to be embraced or bad and must be avoided and used as punishment?

Here's a few books I can't find a digital copy of:
>We Mark Your Memory: Writings from the descendants of indenture
>Slender Was The Thread: Kashmir Confrontation
>Disneywar
>From Beirut to Jerusalem
>Romance of the Three Kingdoms
A few of these are too expensive or practically unavailable as hard copy.

I'm gonna go to bed guys, thanks for all the advice. Hopefully these books will mould me into enough of a schizo so I can shoehorn my way into a comfortable academic niche later on in life. Until then, good night.
