>>14250069
lol I have that copy of Masochism

>>14252151
whats that bataille book

>>14252158
only just started it then moved back to another book I already owned, but it's about Acephale, a secret society created by Batalle, et al, and contains a review of the history of the society as well as texts from the journal it released, previously unreleased/untranslated texts, and annotation/contextualization.

Additionally, it's a beautiful print. I'm reading Ego and His Own now, though, which I got in the Verso 50% off sale, because I've no self control.

>>14252173
is there really enough material to paint an accurate picture of whatever acephale was

>>14252176
I haven't read it yet and wasn't part of it so I've no clue. But what I've gathered from what little I've read (intro/first chapter) is that regardless of whether or not there is (which I believe there's enough material to be interesting at the very least), the book is fascinating and I now want to start a secret society.

Haha im visiting my parents atm so defs wouldnt be wanking at the desk.

It isnt diagnosed but ive had multiple ocd symptoms all my life (so i think theyd diagnose me with it if i went). Its pretty manageable now, but i still wash my hands more than average so they dry out. Also ive got allergies

like this any room in the house

can’t wait for a desk

that amount of light would be hellish for me, I feel like I'd be doing nothing but squinting the entire time

>>14252747
>given the variance in length&girth and the overt femininity of many who model this behavior, it can be concluded that transexuals are displaying character traits of those who wish to be dominated, a classical signal of femininity, and one without which the attraction to such transexuals fades. Thus, in the man who wishes to copulate with the transexual presenting feminine qualities, one can deduce that there are no homosexual traits present in the individual looking to dominate the submissive in the skirt, and can conclude thoroughly, once and for all, without question, that fucking traps is not gay.

Are, however, traps themselves gay? That, is a more interesting question. Referring to figure one, the pregaped anus is-

So fucking cluttered. A literal hellscape.

>>14250194
The /lit/ Catholics are THIS based?

At my parents' but what would be visible from my mattress on the living room floor of my old, poorly lit apartment is a shelf of mostly sci fi (Starship Troopers, Dune, 4 Crichton books, Lovecraft collection, etc) along with a classic horror collection (Poe, Bram Stoker, and others), a Design Concepts for Engineers textbook, and half used box of magnum condoms, all above a shelf of 2000's young adult fiction and some theatrical plays my ex never bothered to pick up and which i will never read. Tempted to pick up a copy of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream to work towards completing my classic sci fi collection if i can find it at local bookstore but i dont have much time to read as a college student anyway.

>>14253590
How do you even fit in that bed? Are you a midget?

>>14253590
Post those feet missy

>>14252666
Used to wash my hands until they cracked and bled as a kid. The hand washing urge is a hurdle, stay strong anon, remember to moisturize.

>>14253632
Resisting obsessive urges aka compulsions weakens the neural pathway that is reinforced every time you do the compulsion. Remember that.

>>14250194
What a cluttered mess.

>>14253590
Comfy af. Love the huge window

Still haven't bought an ironing table.

>>14253590
Pretty small and not a single place to comfortably lean in, unless your back resist a wall plus a shitty cushion. Hope you have somewhere more comfy in the house. Also, pic of the shell?

Nice Rule of St. Benedict you've got there!

comfy reading spot

>>14254667
I do have one, but it's not depicted
>>14254671
lol

>>14254526
Yes it's Augustine. Original image was too large, so had to crop.
/lit/ memed me into reading this book, and it's surprisingly very good - makes me nostalgic about my christian days

>>14250069
I must tell you that shits kinda based

>>14254671
zizek is a tankie?

>>14254556
>beer and rosary on the same table

>>14254694
nice. I know a man that likes it so much, he's read it already a bunch of times. He writes down notes while reading it, and he has read a lot about the book. He recommends it to anybody that's looking for spiritual reads.

Anyways, what are the other books?

>>14254870
Yes, day lasts 24 hours. Even not counting the sleeping time (8h per average person), it's more than enough to pray a rosary and chill after dinner, browsing 4chan, drinking beer, and watching series.

>>14254927
I could see someone doing that. I think it is even useful for atheists, as it is philosophical in its own way, and looks at religion from a completely different angle - first time I understood that there is no good matter vs evil matter fight in this world. Also poor Augustine and his friends for giving into the vaginal jew and not going off with his bros far away to live a pious life in the middle of the book.

Apart from that, I literally have my diary desu, Kafka's stories (which I can't seem to get into at all, my brain just shuts off), and some book about textiles. Off topic, but how long does it take you to pray to the rosary? I remember it taking 30-60min, depending how fully one wanted to do it.

>>14253632
Thanks.
yeah im way better with it now than i used to be. I no longer have to repeat things a set number of times and my obsession with my favourite number has faded.
Glad to hear you got over it anon.

>>14253645
At the beginning when the symptoms started to show (I was ~7 yo i think), I used to wash my hands every time i touched my trousers, because they were 'infected'. My mum just stood at the wash basin with her arms crossed and told me i wasn't allowed to wash anymore. As a kid that definitely helped hahah

>>14252666
Like all of us on 4chan

>>14255205
You are a disgusting human being. It's so evident that nobody likes you. Why should they? No fucking reason, that's why.

>>14255331

Would be based if you didn't like Deluze. Nothing of value there.

I feel sad for you if you're genuinely impressed by that.

>>14255331
yeah no fucking shit bro, I'm posting my Serious Writing Station on 4chan on thanksgiving

No. My neighbours are boring people and mostly retired, or living in large extended families. The majority of the apartments around me are empty, and more of a financial investment than lived-in space.

Atheist? No, my friend is a devout Catholic since forever. He says it's one of the reads and experiences that helped him in his faith, though.
>how long does it take you to pray to the rosary?
20 minutes, if on my own. 30 minutes when with other people. 60 minuntes? How do you do that, lol?

>>14255379
>>14255394
wtf. I could hear Jordan Peterson shriek, as you posted these.

>>14256889
word

>>14257063
I remember long introductory prayer, then at every tenth/individual bead you say the "our father" combined with a telling of a story (depends what story on the day of the week), then after doing the main prayer you run through all the beads calling the Mother Mary a different thing on each bead, then an outro prayer.

>>14254593

>NGE mugs
hey, i've seen you before

>>14257146
yes, I pray it more or less like that, at least the core parts. What I don't get is how you take a whole hour to pray that. Guess each person has their pace.

Keep up with the Confessions, anon. Read it more than once if you think it's good for you. It's the kind of book you can't take the whole morale out of only by reading it once.

Not gonna lie, really aesthetically pleasing. Thiugh I would have trouble concentrating with all that clutter, especially for studying. Thiugh it would work for creative purposes

I laugh at anyonr so proud of reading books that they have a display for them, like a trophy wall. My books either go to Good Will or straight into the trash can. I keep about 10 sentimental books only, in a box in the garage

>>14264864
>so proud of reading books that they have a display for them, like a trophy wall

The trophy mentality usually is from people who haven't even read the books. They literally just buy them and put them where everyone can see.

>>14263693
I imagine the effeminate curve of your wrist as you use your dainty left hand to pour ((spill)) coffee whilst the other (self-consciously) holds your (self-conscious) book (self-consciously) aloft.
