>Book has flat/static characters

I'm the best writer on this board, ok? I'm probably in the 99th percentile in terms of writers who can actually write. Any plot, any character, any setting, any fucking idea that can be put to paper, I'm right there with the best. The Pulitzer Prize? Yeah, I'll win that and a Nobel Prize to keep it company. I'm going to sell more books than Stephen King and I'll be as highly regarded as Joyce or Tolstoy. War and Peace is something I would jot down while I was having writer's block. I'm high IQ, creative, and immensely talented as well as deeply learned. Just give up or at least try to be more like me. I am willing to teach those who are willing to be taught. You arrogant little teenagers.

>Being is not a genus or a kind...
okay...
>if it were a genus, it would imply that there's a higher genus with differentia of being and something other than being... which is nonsene
hmmm, that makes sense. but what is it, then?
>instead, it is an arche!
You've got to be fucking kidding me. That's basically a genus with special pleading. Aristotle is a hack. FUCK THIS GREEK HACK.

My friend fell for the self-help and self-improvement meme, and now he's being an insufferable cunt to everyone.
Why are such books allowed at all?

>Book only exists in a crappy paperback. No leather bound, no cloth bound, not even a hardback.

Noone else made one edition

No.
Communists have absolutely none of the qualities of auxiliaries, let alone guardians. Hell, they wouldn't even be qualified for the producer class.
