All the books i've to cope with being ugly

Das Kapital

>>16058984
>my diary desu
explain why. just reading a synopsis sounds bad but why exactly.

also i'd burn the fucking "giving tree", that guy in the book is a bitch, change my mind.

the bible for a laugh

>>16058972
harry potter

>>16058972
I would cast a magic spell to transform you into a book, then throw you in

>>16058990
>Das Kapital
while were at it, let's throw in "People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent"

that book is shit, if you want to solve wealth inequality and that, don't rely on the current system. though im not here to talk politics.

>>16059004
What else would you transform me into

Be detailed

Two Treatises Of Government

>>16058972
the handmaid's tale. women don't seem to understand that it's fiction, they actually get irl grievances over it. too dangerous to have that stuff around

>>16058992
This is funny

>>16059011
incredibly based.
>>16059021
fair point.

also who is in favor of burning empress theresa. fuck it, cause you know what, im burning it anyway.

>>16058972
I work at a library. Being generous, I’d say maybe 1 out of 5 books is worth saving. Maybe 1 out of 10. So many shitty books. An example would be all the Sarah J. Maas sci-fi shit. She has so many and they get checked out all the time. I hate it. 80-90% of the books are practically a literary lobotomy.

>>16059041
I mean, fair. I'm not saying we burn down all the libraries. Only the shitty books inside of them. Sarah J. Maas books are being thrown in too.

>>16059009
Tranform u into toilet paper for my stinky bum. then I rub you on my bumhole to clean the greazy poopies on it (after I pooed). then I throw u in the stinky toilet water with the pooes and pee floating in it. I flushes the toilet and laugh. Bye bye forever.

1984
because it so accurately called out a few problems but then subsequently became assigned high school reading, so no one takes any of the problems seriously because if you reference the book it's cringe

>>16059058
dude you just gave some guy new wanking material. if that's your life goal, i mean, good on you i guess.

>>16059031
thanks

>>16059064
the original idea for the threat was too make it about books like 1984 which talked about descent into fascism, loss of free will and thinking, etc.

if were talking about books we would save in a bookfire, george orwell's "animal farm" im still keeping.

Lets keep it simple. Anything written by a jew, femoid, or one of the other breeds of nigger.

>>16059086
of course you would. i mean, sure if you want, it'd be a massive bookfire. a really massive bookfire.

The same literature the Hitler youth threw down, degenerate lit promoting trannys, pedophilia, abortion, and general licentitiousness mostly written by members of a particular minority group, who incidentally are promoting the same things in our time

>>16058972
farenheit 451 lol

all works by peter sotos, and also peter sotos

>>16059102
the irony is that was a book about burning books. oh well, into the firepit it goes.
>>16059101
but hitler didn't burn those books? he just burnt books that were of the political opponents, mostly communist books or even alot of rightist author's who didn't go "far enough".

i mean, the communist books can burn i guess.

>>16059110
>peter sotos

it is incredibly creepy to write books from the perspective of a pedophile. i can see what he was trying to do but it is incredibly bad how he handled. i'm putting that one on with some lighter fluid first.

also could we please burn a copy of the communist manifesto and The Wealth of Nations? especially for the second one, put alot of lighter fluid on it and throw it in.

>>16059011
why

>>16059178
because the book is incredibly fucking CRINGE.

Some books should be burned.

>>16058972
The same ones they did.

>>16059218
indeed they do. has anybody said to save curious george yet, hes my homie. my childhood.

None. no matter how shitty, disgusting, destructive or retarded a piece of writing is it shouldn’t be destroyed. It’s like the library of Babel, it holds the collective thoughts of all those who have ever put pen to paper or who typed a word onto a page.

>>16059008
Curious as I was tempted to give this one a read, what makes it shit? Is it just a blatant and shallow defense of the status quo or does it actually attempt to introduce new ideas into the conversation that simply fall flat?

>>16059309
Why keep all thoughts? Imagine writing a first draft and just publishing it, editing nothing.

>>16058972
>Had a group discussion about this in highschool
>Almost everyone said "Fahrenheit 451"
Fucking normans

>>16059328
Imagine all of the books and novels people have ever written but never published because of fear of rejection. The unknown literary masterpieces that sit on hard drives. Kafka would have never been found had he existed today since he would have just left all his stories in a usb and never looked back

>>16059397
>kafka would have never been found
ugh what could have been
>>16059342
based highschoolers with a sense of irony dabbing on some shitty mandated scifi

>>16058972
none

>>16059412
What you got against Kafka dude? His stories are very unique in the depressing atmosphere that is not found in a extraordinarily circumstance but a slightly exaggerated depiction of a normal circumstance

>>16059432
>slightly exaggerated depiction of a normal circumstance
>wake up as giant bug

>>16059435
I saw it as a metaphor for crippling depression. And rather than his family caring for him they locked him in a room to avoid the shame

>>16059118
>but hitler didn't burn those books?
Bullshit. Stacks of Freud and Hirschfeld books got burned.

>>16059447
He burnt books advocating for the sexualization of children. Good fucking riddance.

>>16058972
Any and all pornography.

>>16059499
Hear, hear!

>>16059447
>Stacks of Freud and Hirschfeld books got burned.

>>16059011
Extremely fucking based

>>16058972
I've already burnt two books: House on Mango Street and Atlas Shrugged.

>>16059086
Even me?

>>16058972
rather throw the book burners in the firepit

>>16060321
I had a philosophy professor who looked just like him. Could never tell if he was Polish or (((Polish)))
/blog

All Abrahamic texts

>>16059086
>Waaaaaaah, da joooz and wiminz ruined my life I waaaaaah

>>16058972
De Sade, all of his books. And then Foucault

>>16061186
So, a guy whose books had no real influence except shock value, followed by a guy whose books are actually pretty informative when it comes to law and order

>>16060858
cringe

>>16058972
The ones with the most pages made from environmentally friendly, bio-degradable materials.

>>16061268
The first one would be exactly for that, they have no value yet its like a virus of the mind which is why they're so popular, degeneracy is contagious and corrupts the mind.

The second one is his whole philosophy was him trying to justify his degeneracy and project it onto society and bend it to his will so his degeneracy would be allowed, it unironically is just that. And he was an open pedophile who wanted to legalize fucking children since birth, good thing he died of AIDS

>>16059101
This.

>>16061278
There is nothing more cringe than LARPing as a Nazi, deal with it

>>16058972
Atlas Shrugged, clearly

>>16058972
All the german romantics c:

id literally do what those fine bozs were doing and burn the gendre study sections of the libraries (eventgough it wouldn’t just be the medicine gendre study section but all the faux literature and “”””philosophy”””” that would have to go as well)

Collected Writings of Martin Luther and Complete Works of Descartes, this is where the downfall of Western civilization began

>>16058972
all the hairy podders
all the Brandon Sanderson
all the copies of Teddy K's manifesto
all the copies of Elliot Rogers """manifesto"""
Infinite Jest because Good Old Neon is better

all of em. may as well.
