>Muh prose
The plot keeps you hooked, the characters move the plot along, prose is only occasionally outstandingly funny or emotionally stirring even when it's the best writer in the world. Claiming you read for the prose is like claiming you only watch Arnold Schwarzenegger movies for when he says his one liners. It's dumb pseud shit that makes you look like a retard.

When are retarded faggots going to understand that things have ALWAYS been BAD. There is no magical past, no dream land. The human condition is inherently tragic, with its infinite desire handering satisfaction. You'll never feel fullfilled in your life. You'd never feel fulfilled in a hypothetical past. You'd feel like shit in Athens, living as a slave to some unimportant faggot. You'd feel like a shit in Rome, being an unimportant aristocratic, probably getting killed over some stupid political strife. You'd feel like shit in the middle ages, even if you were a landlord, having to manage all the angry peasants. I've worked on a hospital and i've talked to many dying patients, specially old ones. They ALL regret life and say that it was a mistake. The only way out of this nightmare is antinatalism.
What are some books for this feel? Books that show how bad things truly were.

I'm just saying that since Lolita is so well know it wouldn't add nothing useful or new to the chart, we should give the spot of pedo disturbing literature to something less popular like Tiger Tiger since Child of God will be replaced

Oh hey, lady, just received this copy of Milton's works that was described as being in "very good condition" and almost every page of Paradise Lost has superfluous notes and underlinings.

What are some books on how to build discipline? I was supposed to read books from a philosophy reading list but i ended up stopping after 3 books. Then i went on to a literature reading list and stopped after 2 books. Then i got some short stories collections and read 1 short story. Since i failed misreably at reading i thought "in a few months i'm going to college to study Engineering, i should review high school math to keep my math foundations in check", then i built a math's reading list (Sergei Lang Basic Mathematics). I ended up reading one or two chapters on trigonometry and gave up. Now i don't know what to read. How the fuck do i plan my readings and follow it? I don't want to read for entertainment, i think film is way better than that. I read for the intellectual benefits. How to do so without being an adhd retard?
