template without moonrune?

sad and true

YOU CAN MAKE YOU OWN "TEMPLATE" BY OPENING MS PAIN AND JUST DRAWING A FEW LINES AND THEN WRITING WHAT I READ WHAT I EXPECTED WHAT I GOT UNDER IT

Stop.

I was just listening to the Actus Tragicus cantata, and you people should listen to it too. The part with ecclesiasticus 14:17... powerful stuff.

>>11816022
you sure about that?

>>11814498
The funniest part of this is that no one would expect anything because no one would actually consider reading it.

>>11816174
Should I let myself get memed into this?

Just read this for class and it was so frustrating. Still, the more complete parts were fantastic, especially Gilgamesh’s journey after Enkidu’s death.

Enkidu sexual stamina got me hard

>>11816110
Shit, that book must be great

>>11816101
that shit good

please tell me someone else read this book

>>11816110
nobody has read that book. stop it

>>11816240
Why not, it's not very long anyway
I enjoyed it

>>11816240
its semi biographical journey of a chad who got raped as a kid and deals with a world he doesn't belong in
truly a story of alienation and apathy towards humanity

>>11816240
The book is good.

One day I'll find a picture of a girl using a model train for a dildo and then I'll make this image

YWNKW was still better though

>i bet he's le awkward meme comic guy
Terrible. The definitive traits of the underground man were not only his pitiful social life but his courage and will. He tells his friends what exactly he thinks of them. He pursues a girl and has sex with her. Most importantly, he's conscious of himself and the way he thinks and acts.

>>11818118
i like it :)

>>11816240
The book is good, but perhaps not as /literally me/ as I was expecting it to be. There were still hauntingly relatable parts to his outlook and this is probably the only book I’ve ever read that gave me suicidal thoughts. I’m not too sure why. Good book though

>>11814662

It's a great book if you like the bleak stuff.

These are all so perfect

I will never approve of that edit as long as Seinfeld is not included

>>11818482
>he tells his friends what exactly he thinks of them
he paces up and down the room across from them for two hours because he knows he's not invited to join them anymore but wishes he was. He spergs out at them and then never talks to them again
>He pursues a girls and has sex with her
he fucks a prostitute and mindfucks himself into being unable to love her
>he's conscious of himself
he's scamming himself into thinking so, and you bit his scam
face it, underground man is a meme virgin and even less of a protagonist than Raskolnikov. Not until Karamazov does Dostoevsky start to write non-loser characters.

someone should make this but with pic related

Good Lord.

But is it worth the time?

>>11816022
you sure about that?

Funnily enough if you give this ""book"" to a girl they will suck your dick

>>11816272
Tell me more senpai. This shit looks interesting.

Can someone explain what this Ayn Rand train wank meme is all about? Fetishization of Gilded Age railroad tycoons?
>>11822570
To be frank, there was a whole lot of "what I expected" in that book as well. I was surprised how many pages are taken up by speculation about the civilization of the Elder Things with little connection to what the researchers are actually doing in the ruins.

>>11821338
where is the second pic from

Blue is the warmest color

>>11822646
A lot of the book is spent describing how successful people in the industry are precisely those that work 18 hours a day everyday with the purpose of building their company and competing in the market. The protagonist just so happens that she leads the entire railroad business in the US, and in a 1200 page book, you can expect to read many times how much she just loves trains and how she wouldn't do anything in life if she didn't have trains.

He wastes way too many time talking about how smart he is and comparing himself with matematicians or philosophers

>>11823958

Please explain

i like how it's in hebrew very tasteful

>>11825131
it's Yiddish

>>11825076
read the book

>>11822500
the whole book is allusion towards the rising of third reich and hitler is literally portrayed as green screeching lizard. anyway this is a pretty decent book

>>11816240
It's part of /lit/s new meme trilogy

>>11823813
Thanks mate.
I really thought I was going to get some hardcore SAG/SOG/black ops shit but instead I got a bunch of alcoholics who were abused as children murdering rice farmers with upper command either 100% fine or completely uncaring about it.

>>11825013
That What you Got perfectly describes pic related

>>11825835
hey i like zweig i'll read this looks interesting nice meme

>>11825888
how's the writing?

>>11827284
does it really? *some lad* that knows his pindar (cred) was reading it and, last time i checked, was having a good experience, it was just very hard, which is whatever for the dedicated/ autistic
don't make me not read it

>>11827348
Maybe if you have a very strong interest in both Greek myth and architecture it would be good but I felt it mostly went like the following for every single thing
>I can't describe this OJBECT but RESPECT TO MUSES.txt I'll try
>INSERT GREEK MYHOS HERE

Paradise Lost is beautiful and the homage to ancient myth is perfect.

>>11816101
wat.

>>11827381
yeah, that sounds annoying, but this lad i mentioned described the same very obsequiously because he liked it—i'd assume you did as you did because you were annoyed by it, which is perfectly fine. problem with this is that, i, a retard, can't *picture* the prose, and since i don't know yet which edition to get i just don't feel adventurous enough (specially having someone who already read it available) to check some and random and possibly misrepresent the book: could you post an example? i know it's annoying, but i'd be grateful

some at*

>>11814481
I deserved this

>>11825835
trying to get ito Zweig...I've only read "Chess novel", which was interesting if a bit condescending and "Letter from an unknown woman", which I found annoyingly pathetic and dull
should I give his biographies a try?

>>11827435
Literally first page I stopped scrolling at
>great and commendable thing with out dout it shold be, trulie to discribe, & from point to point, to set down the incredible work, and vnimagined composition, of so vast a frame, and huge bignes, of so great a buildinge with the excellencie of the entrance, in a conspicuous and sightly place, conueniently situated, where of my delight to behold them, did exced the greatnes of my admiration breeding in me such a conceit so as I perswaded my self that Iupiter durst not vndertake the like to the rest of the gods, & certainly beleeuing that no workman, or human witt could compase so huge a frame, expresse so notable conceits, or imagine and inuent so rare deuises and so gorgiouslie to garnishe them, in so singuler an order and simmetry, to dispose them, and without supplement or correction perfictlye to finishe them. A rare and insolent pride in a building. Vppon which occasion I was in some doubt and that not a little that if the naturall historiographer had seene or heard of this, hee woulde haue scorned that of Egipt, and the cunning and industrie of the woorking thereof, for that heerein the sundrie and diuers woorkes effected by many seuerall workmen seemed in the perfections, of their dewe proportions as if they had been performed by one himselfe.

He would also as lightlie haue regarded the skillfull cunning of Satirus the architect and other of fame, especially Simandrus, for the woorke of Memnon, who cut the three statures of Iupiter in one stone, the feet being aboue seauen cubits long.

well, that doesn't really seem bad or anything, not to me, at least' i guess that i'll met your tedium whenever i've already wasted the money, or not. thank you
>>11827517
his biographies are GREAT

>>11827556
wow i can't type for shit

>>11827556
good, been really tempted to read "Fouché"

>>11827556
>that doesn't really seem bad or anything
It wouldn't be if the entire book wasn't like that. I'd be more than happy to see your review of it.

>>11827578
i read that one, it's good, i may reread it now
>>11827580
i'll probably enjoy it theoretically or allegorically or *something*, i know blanchot changed my mind on de sade (fuck [tirade on god fucking himself], talk [teatrise on why god should fuck himself], fuck ["], talk ["], fuck-talk, etc.) so maybe i could think it around by myself next time
de sade isn't that bad anyways, the ideas at least, but the writing... maybe the translation was kinda shit (pretty sure it was, it seemed rough, it was a shitty edition)

>>11827634
also, don't get me wrong, i see the structure on de sade and i appreciate it, i just felt like calling him a faggot some time ago and just now that i have already changed my mind i got the chance
