Literature is my passion and not one person in my life reads books or likes challenging themselves with philosophy/psychology/difficult fiction/poetry.

what did you think about cat's cradle?

>>10195373

Teaching is a much-maligned profession (of late? for a while? not sure) and not a path to riches, but if it fits your personality the pros should outweigh the cons. Be prepared for kids who don't care - actually, many of them won't care - and administrators who are clueless. But there's an energy to a classroom that's unmistakable, and you're seeing people in the process of 'becoming themselves'. Most of my friends work in technology or business and when I hear about what they do everyday I'm glad I'm not trapped in a cubicle.

>>10195450
the teachers i'm working with are telling me i'm dedicating my life to poverty but its worth it

>>10195461

It depends on their definition of "worth it." I can't stand Martin Shkreli, but he made a good point quite a bit ago: he said Warren Buffett was worth billions and earned every dollar he ever made, but as far as society's concerned, he's less important than a kindergarten teacher (I'm paraphrasing).

"Poverty" is a strong term (I prefer to refer to myself as "economically disadvantaged") but you have to decide how you want to spend your days in order to earn a living: soul crushing desk work where you speak to maybe three different people or multiple classrooms with a variety of kids (many of them have problems)?

It's one of the most insightful books about making movies (and the countless problems that go along with it) I've read. Make sure you've seen most of his work first and then you might want to rewatch a few of them afterwards. It made me like Nostalghia.

next step is reading every major translation of the trial before learning german... orrrrr his short stories like other anon said.. metamorphosis the hunger artist the judgement etc. not kafka but camus' short story the stranger will appeal to you if you liked the trial. if you want to go novel route, read the castle first. and of course his dairies. and his letters. all pretty necessary if you want to understand kafka imo. also, the 1962 orson welles film adaptation of the trial is fantastic (and better than citizen kane)

>>10198888
Yes, books on occult herbalism are a dime a dozen nowadays, but this book (and other works by Daniel Schulke), are definitely the most informative. This book is an introduction to his forthcoming work, and deals more with the philosophy and symbolism rather than practical workings. If you're really interested in the subject, The Serpent and the Rainbow is a great place to start to kind of get the feel for how herbs are treated in traditional practices. More in-depth books on the subject can vary greatly according to specific traditions. A lot of the new-agey type books on the subject tell mostly the "hows" but not the "whys" of the practice, and Schulke's works explain both very well. The Liber Falxifer series does a very unique spin on the practice as well, but delves into what many would deem to be questionable practices associated with many of the African Traditional Religions.

Underage b&, faggot.


*Nigger started out as a descriptor of an ethnic group's color, transitioned into a shorthand for "them lesser people what do the physical work," then became an angsty codeword for indentured/forced servitude and a slur/insult.

>TL;DR Nigger nowadays is about the equivalent of "goy" to Jews and "hick" to Caucasians, someone within an ethnic group who's proud of their ignorance and lives in the negative.

>Borges' Selected Non-Fiction is good, its actually really weird though, he loves Schopenhauer and he's really really right wing

schopey was super reactionary, too, minus the animal rights stuff and abolitionism.

i wonder if hitler became interested in vegetarianism because of schopenhauer. supposedly he kept a copy of the world as will and representation with him all throughout wwi. it's odd to me how someone could subscribe to his philosophy and still have so little regard for a vast swath of humanity. then again, schopenhauer was a weirdo monarchist who hated women and threw an old lady down a flight of stairs for being too noisy.

>Mythology - Edith Hamilton
My English teacher senior year gave me this book because she was retiring and knew I was into mythology. I read it even though I already knew most of the stuff in it from Greek/Roman writing. I keep seeing it pop up on everyone's reading lists now (about 3 friends of mine snapchatted it in their book hauls, and I keep seeing people saying they bought it/are reading it on here). Is it like some entry-level mythology book that's well known for being good intro stuff? Because I literally had never heard of it before my teacher handed it to me.

>>10211577
I fell for the "Start with the Greeks" meme.
I was always interested in Mythology, and knew a good portion of the Myths already, but wanted to get more in depth and read about the ones I didn't know about. I found it to be a very informative but quick read, and I found it prepared me quite well for the Iliad (which I'm about half was through).
