This is incredibly retarded advice
Like outrageously stupid
I'm tempted to not even explain why it's so dumb, because it's just THAT fucking retarded and if it's not self evident to any person that reads it, then they deserve to listen to it and fall into the trap that has been set
Actually impressive post

even if it makes me a midwit, I prefer reading fiction over anything serious. The greatest pleasure I obtain from art is escapism from this reality, and reading fiction achieves that to the greatest effect.

What are some MODERN books (1900s - today) that capture perfectly the life of a outcast loser? Need good recommendations.

Agreed. I can't stand reading works from authors who ramble on with shit prose that can't convey emotions, set tone nor the environment. OP can do all of these things, but it's too much, and too repetitive. Unfortunately, cutting the fat, and tightening things up is the most difficult thing to do for the flowery prose types, but the potential is there.

Only if you do something like travel internationally to visit famous landmarks, authors' graves, stuff like that. Or if you have a wild life to write about. Otherwise the best you can do is simply live your life and try to appear cool-yet-unpretentios by enlightening others in conversation with what you've read. That's what I do, because God knows I'm a loser neet with no money to travel or do anything cool and who reads/sleeps/goes online all day.

>Nietzsche
Almost everything he wrote
>Alexis de Tocqueville
"Democracy in America" primarily chapter 6 on despotism
>Lewis mumford
Essay on authoritarian and democratic technics

All of those were 100-200 years ahead of their time. What do you think is a relatively recent author that has the gift of predicting the future? My bet is on Baudrillard but I would be curious to hear other opinions
