Really, what if the point of even being at all?

But if you really want a friend, ill mame.a goodreads and post 5 star reviews for everything I read (cause I dont read TRASH) and add a review saying "I didn't get it," because I dont read to understand stupid intellectual shit I read cause words make my genitals warm and shit.

>how was your day?
not good man, not good

>what kind of stories do you like?
Now I'm focusing on critical studies on romanticism, and poetry from this period

>>18234486
You'd be more successful telling us your goodreads instead of expecting us all to dox ourselves

Fine, whatever

Good books but I don't like people who put wojaks in their profile pictures.

>>18234706
Looks like you took the start with the greeks meme seriously, which is great.

I should read more greek plays.

>>18234774
Eh, I wanted to get a pic when I posted my profile here for the first time and I couldn't bother with finding some better pic
>>18234883
Yeah, I'm planning to finish up with Aristophanes and Menander by the time we hit Summer and then reading Herodotus and Thucydides during the Summer.

>>18234486

>The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

That was a surprisingly interesting book imho. It's kind of hard to read because of how it is written, but the style is essential to the theme of the book.

I thought the mother was kind of shitty.

>>18234486
This is also my only social interaction. Wish I could find some kind of discord book club but anything like that only reads YA it seems.

>>18234914
I'm literally doing this right now but in reverse, I already read herodotus and thucydides and now moving on to aeschylus

>>18234659
chill with the grrm ratings

>>18235336
Try meetup maybe.

Also /lit/ has a telegram channel, you can chat there.

>>18235897
Where? People keep saying it exists but never do they post an invite.

I've only read Homer so far, reading the complete Sophocles and Aristophanes next should be fine, right?

Goodreads has a nice UI, but their recommendations are honestly awful. I find Librarything is a lot better for finding new material.

you gave burning chrome too many stars compared to neuromancer.

But you did read neuromancer so the booklist is based in my eyes

Are you the guy who effortposts on /his/ about Jomon Japan? What is the one book you'd recommend regarding the period? I'm very interested in any research regarding the pre-Jomons and any information regarding the migration of Tungusic people into Japan during the Jomon period as well.

>>18249654
>Are you the guy who effortposts on /his/ about Jomon Japan?
Well shit, you got me. I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I always try to enlighten my fellas with literature and legit studies, not with baseless claims
>What is the one book you'd recommend regarding the period?
Just take a look at my bookshelf. Junko Habu is pretty neat if you want to go in detail, as is Jomon Reflections for a more visually-based experience
>research regarding the pre-Jomons
Bro there's little to no material about this. No one's sure what happened in the paleolithic save for a couple of human remains and tools. You can read some snippets about Pinza-Abu, Yamashita, and Minatogawa cavemen around the web but I assure you we have almost no sources in English
>migration of Tungusic people into Japan during the Jomon period
Purely theoretical. The common argument is that because the Emishi were horse archers, they must've been Tungusic-related. There's no argument supporting this but there's nothing against it as well (besides genes I guess). Just add me or ask here about your doubts and questions bro

>>18250054
Are you a grad student doing work on Neolithic Japan or something? Very surprised there is so little solid evidence for Tungusic migrations. From what little I had gleaned from /his/ I thought that was relatively well established

>>18251490
Nah not yet, I'm just a japanophile on the health area right now. Studying old Japan and non-Yamato peoples has been a hobby for me for some years, so why don't I invest on that? I'm still considering it but due to living on a 3rd world shithole, I think I won't be able to properly achieve certain goals
Also
>trusting /his/
That place is mostly filled with nutjobs, brother. Many delusional naggers shit up the board, but there are some good posts amidst the turds. Someone recently added another source on the Emishi Wikipedia page that has something to do with the Tungus theory but I haven't gotten around reading it yet. Good luck, perhaps you'll find something useful there

>someone versed
Have you heard of the Uralic hypothesis of Japonic languages? What do you think of it?

>>18253095
It's the first time I've heard of it. I can't say it's bulshit because I've not yet researched the theory but it indeed smells like bullshit. It's commonly accepted Japonic emerged on peninsular Korea or at least somewhere in Northern China/Far Eastern Russia
Search for Alexander Vovin's works, he wrote pretty convincing arguments for a common Koreo-Japonic origin

>>18245602

Also, you can make women friends on goodreads through male friends added on /lit/.
