That's pretty interesting, anon. It's one of those books that I've heard referenced a bit, but people haven't recommended reading it. I'd like to read it at some point. Why did you start reading it, and is it any fun? Do you have any particular edition of it that you would recommend?

Currently reading:
- Guenonian Esoterism and Christian Mystery by Jean Borella
- Bible (KJV)
- Plato's Dialogues
- Demons by Dostoevsky
Just ordered:
- Three Muslim Sages by SH Nasr
- The Shape of Ancient Thought by Thomas Mcevilley

I started reading it because it is such an influential book in Christian literature, and it is actually pretty fun to read. In one respect, it reads like a comfy fantasy story, in another, it's a powerful and serious allegorical story of Christian life. I can't comment on a preferred edition to read, sorry. I only found a PDF online and read from that.

The eternal philistine, by odon von horvath. It's very funny and i don't know a lot of books that are actually funny. Very good surprise.

Jane Eyre, Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. So far I think it's better than Emily Bronte / Jane Austen work.

You are, especially OP, the scourge of this website. You are the parasitic, fungal infection that lies in this board's dank recesses. For what purpose do you see it fit to post these absurdly improbable temptresses - of only average or mediocre attractiveness, I might add - who are artificially posed in front of a camera, in order to satiate the desires and fantasies of men with a barely tenable grasp on reality or implausible notions about the female sex? What possible benefit could it bring you, knowing that you causing other male men browsing this board to feel the pang of self-destructive attraction for an intangible, incorporeal idea of a non-existent woman, a mirage behind which is only the darkness of vanity and lust? Does it please you to bring noble men who seek the values of temperance and, perhaps, abstinence through their pursuits of the higher medium of literature - to bring these men into your incontinent pit of desire and despair? These jezebels, disguising themselves through these unassuming garments, initiate heightened destruction in their paradoxical image of modesty and licentiousness, demure and wantonness, the Siren song implausibly co-existing with the festering underbelly of rank lechery. If you be not of the Devil's party, restrain your desire, and do not further publish their images to convert these men to such dispositions of your current, sorrowful state. These images are merely fancy, they have no correspondence in reality, nor correlation to the human.

How are you liking it ?
I got horribly bored halfway through which is strange since I loved the first novel.
I might give it another try soon though.

Very insightful. If you've delved deep into Guenon's writing and you want some alternate takes and thoughtful critique then check out this book.

Something I've owned for over 10 years and have been putting off reading until now. Turns out, I like it quite a bit.

i'm reading the tenth of december by george saunders, but i'm pacing it, a story a week, so that i read the final story, the tenth of december, on the tenth of december

Pic related, also I just got back in my hometown and I sacked the public library.

Picked up some eleven or twelve books, I'm pretty hyped about the Heidegger ones I managed to find - the course on Parmenides, the essay on the Origin of the Work of Art and the Bremen and Freiburg Lectures. It's gonna be fun.

Though few read Marius these days, I think it's an incredible work..
Though few read Cornford, he's a remarkably clear expositor- his books on nature and on art are good as well.
The Jung is the middle child of two other alchemical Jung collections, Psychology and Alchemy and MC- both of which are interesting. Though I'm no Jungian, I've kept my copies of all three.
Good fare, anon.

Yeah, I wasn't sure which one to get. Did I get the right one? Should I have started with a different one?

>>11992894
No, I think youre fine. MC is supposed to be his Magnum Opus but really it's just a continuation of the thematic style studies in the volume you have. All three are similarly packed with pics and illustrations and good bibliigraphies.
