you may oppress us. you may kill us, if you will. But capitulate - we shall never!

Who plans to read something and then doesn't ?

>>10346515
I've gotten almost all of the cambridge editions of immanuel kant
absolutely based
if you have their COPR you need "Theoretical Philosophy After 1781"
its all the supplementary works dealing with the critique (including the prolegomena, several rebuttals of critics who brushed off the work, and letters of his explaining the purpose of the book to friends)

>>10346535
That's a helpful suggestion. I do have their edition of the Critique and Their Companion to the Critique currently

>>10346503
I gave up on The Book of Disquiet before I even got halfway through.
Meant to read Oblomov. Maybe I’ll get to it before the end of the month. Maybe not.

Ice - Anna Kavan
Couldn't find it at bookstores and i don't believe in amazon

>>10346503
I was supposed to read Jane Eyre, Ullyses and Middlemarch, hoping I still have time to get through Jane Eyre though. I planned to read one big novel a month, but I started to fall off the wagon around July. Maybe Ill finally start Ullyses early next year.

>>10346503
I was going to work my way through the Canterbury tales in Middle English but I never got around to it. Maybe next year. Still pretty happy I read about 50-60 books this year. HBU op

>>10346503
Ulysses. Managed to finish Proust's novel, but it burnt me out for serious lit for a while.

Remember when I drove all the way from Toronto to Houston and to her ballet class and waited outside with my trunkful of books but when her and her two brothers arrived I was too scared to say anything. Then I drove off and you guys convinced me to go back and wait until she left and once again I was too scared to say anything so I followed their car home and waited until night to drive back and I dumped all my books on her front doorstep and in the morning she made a video about how nice it was then hours later her mom made her take down her channel i hate you guys and stop blaming me! It was you messaging her mom that ruined it

Forgotten Soldier.
I bought it and was on my list but ended up being busy with work and for some reason decided to put it on the back burner.
I'll read it after I finish Cacausian Wars.

>>10346503
Iliad. The Romanovs. That might be it. I bought far more books than I could expect to read in the year, but I didn't plan to read them so soon either. I actually had a motivation to read the aforementioned that went unrecognized.

>>10346797
i've heard good things about the latest edition published by new directions >>10346792
was this the one you read?

>>10346865
I have them thanks to a generous Anon who posted them earlier. I'll link you to MediaFire in a couple minutes.

>expected to read complete spinoza, the summa, and das kapital among dozens of other texts

Did you just blindly set your goals or what? The summa alone is probably over a year’s worth if you’re really working at it.

As for me I thought I could read Aristotle cover to cover in like 2 months which would be ~40 pages a day. Didn’t realize secondary sources would be like 80% of my reading volume. I’m 10 months in and am only halfway through.

Did manage to finally finish the greek tragedians, though (after ~2 years of inconsistent reading).

>>10347414
Luckily, Spinoza didn't write all that much. What with him dying at 40 and his writings being liable to see him executed and all. Philosophy is slow reading, honestly if you can I'd recommend some intro philosophy courses (survey courses or 'history of''s work great). The foothold those give you makes reading dense philosophical texts about 10x faster and more enjoyable.

Someone photoshop this pic of Carli and make her shoulders smaller

The fags in this thread are posting unflattering pictures of her for some reason.

>>10347128
She's so beautiful in every regard, it's like I'm watching an angel. I feel more for this /lit/ meme than any girl I've met or known of, what a joke. Is it a modern phenomena to be able to know and admire a girl without her ever knowing about you? How long before some former internet loner writes a book for this feel

>>10347549

WHAT MAN IS WORTHY OF ASKING HER HAND IN MARRIAGE?!

>>10347552
Honestly most woman are garbage these days though.

Reminder that I am wiling to marry her, cherish her and be faithful to her

>>10346515
I was going to do the same. Now I have two copies of that book, and haven't opened either. Planned on reading Descartes and Hume before doing it. Read a little bit of the former in January.

is iCarli a crucial part of board culture?

Wait, did a mod remove my post with Goethe and Schiller? Lol.

>>10347128
Are these all of her videos ever made?

I broke my nofap streak to my sweet princess Carli. I'm sorry baby it won't happen again, I will remain chaste for you.

>>10347128
HOLY FUCK AAAAAAAH MY SWEETNESS YOU WILL BE MINE

>>10346503
Well I bought like 24 books last month and I've only read half of them so I might not finish them all but I didn't intend to read every one specifically but maybe some I did individually.

She's much to pure for sexual fantasy, her beauty and charm transcend that kind of base seunsuality

>>10347699
of course!

Romance of the three kingdoms’ first volume
Snow Country by Kawabata
Thus spake Zarathustra
Anime: A history by Jonathan Clementz
The world as will and representation

And a bunch more.
That doesn’t mean I haven’t read anything, it’s just that I got sidrtracked by other books on the way.

>>10348104
When I watch the videos there's a part of me that realizes she's attractive, but mostly I'm just drawn to the enthusiasm she has for the books themselves, which I once had but that is gone now. When I watch the videos I feel like I'm going back ten years when I still lived with my family. It makes me happy.

After living with sluts, I still believe in a woman being pure.

Hafez Shirazi once fell in love with a woman he never met, I forgot her name. As legend goes, she led him indirectly to 'enlightenment' due to his pursuing her.

I wouldn't call it modern, because in the East it's a common them, unrequited love

>>10348421
so there were threads abouthere..: but ahe deleted her channel from this? doesnt seem as bad as katie

>>10348635
I don't know much about this because I'm fairly new to the board but found this on Google, I'm guessing this might've had something to do with it

>>10347549
Cervantes wrote about that four hundred years ago

The Master and Margarita. Couldn't get into it

Life and Fate by Grossman. Oh well, maybe next year.

Holy shit, /lit/ is the most /r9k/ board after /r9k/

>>10346503
The Republic because it was boring as shit.

>>10349118
It wasn't difficult, it just didn't grab me

>>10346503
I haven't finished a book in 2 years. I cannot find the concentration to read. This is seeping into other areas of my life. I can no longer concentrate on videogames, it takes me a weeks planning to play for 15 minutes, i dont watch movies. Finishing school work is tedious. I have no energy, i am depressed and have been depressed for over 10 more than years probably more, i wanna find meaning in life. I wish i had a women to love, but all my youth i was told having a girlfriend is a worthless endeavor (it was church, pro tip dont get too deep into church during your youth they say weird stuff sometime, or do. Idk do what you want) so i always have an itching thought in the back of my head about how i shouldn't have a girlfriend even though i want one. My parents support me in having a gf but i have zero social skills for it. I spend my days shitposting and procrastinating.

So i haven't read anything this year.

>>10349303
Coffee and Adderall

>>10349303
That sounds really unhealthy Anon. I know it's cliche, but do you exercise? Lifting or running or whatever can really boost your confidence and mood. Good luck. Getting a girlfriend really helped me grow out of my teenage moodiness. Try to lower your standards and look for a temporary companion. Having a romantic relationship can be very therapeutic and improve your self esteem.

>>10346875
The Romanovs was so good. It can be dry but goddamn is it fascinating. Took me 3 months to plow through it.

Against the Day is currently collecting dust, and I made it halfway through Crypotonomicon before calling it quits

True, but then not true.

Wait. The last part of that shows her discussing IJ. Is that a signal that she's into /lit/ like tay's into /b/?

>>10346503
Almost all of them

>>10350615
Honest question. Are you retarded? Does your brain function beyond breathing?

>>10346503
Last year I read almost 40 books, mostly nonfiction, after not reading for a long time. This year I read almost nothing. 2018 I'll try to hit 40 again and stay on the wagon.

>Paradise Lost
>Pride and Prejudice

War and Peace and The Republic... still considering tackling them on christmas time.

I got halfway through Moby Dick and lost motivation, I think I'll get a copy with annotations and start again next year. Is the Norton Critical Edition the best option?

>>10350615
It's a shop lol

>>10349143

Yes. She is mine to deflower, I claimed her first.

>>10351566
Not gonna happen. I forsook my family, took up ballet and converted to Catholicism just to be with her. As soon as I move to Texas it's a done deal. I have a plan to slowly ingratiate myself with her and her family.

>>10346503
The 1611 edition of the King James Bible. I had made a New Years Resolution to read the entire KJV but stopped reading several times over the year. I read from Gen. - 2 Kings and then I started to skip around a bit. I read Psalms, Judith, Mark, 1-2 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians, but not in that order.

Eventually this year I decided to confess my sins and return to the Roman Catholic Church after a 10 year absence. I now plan on reading the New American Bible. The language of the NAB leaves a lot to be desired, but I love the reading guide and footnotes. I also read the Divine Office on Universalis nearly every day. I miss the KJV, but after much prayer and discernment I realized that I needed to come home to Mother Rome.

I was gonna read Bottoms Dream til I realized what an obvious waste of time it would be even if I liked it

>>10352253

>>10348094

>>10352423
7 kids.

>>10352812
It reminds me of how in 1984 Winston starts talking about what relationships between men and women have become, and that he feels deep down that there's something that's missing that they're being lied to about; a healthier way of live that's more naturally that's been obliterated. That's how I feel about liberals and what they've done to the family.

>>10348562

Did you like CoPR?
Is it because you're a CoPRophile?

I took a break in the middle of The Book of the Long Sun to read some of Keats' poetry. The end of Endymion seemed like a good stopping point, but now that I've started reading Endymion it's a fucking slog and terrible in spite of one or two good passages. Literally just line upon line of bullshit about fucking nothing.

Planned to """start""" with the Greeks, so I bought Iliad but didn't read it.

None. I struggled through boredom to finish the brothers Karamazov, the politics, great expectations, Nicholas Nickleby, a hero of our time, this year for the pseud cred. As soon as I finish war and peace, which is ok, I will stop doing this
