>Do you have as good taste in music as you do in books

I have neither.

>>3483519
I see. I think Cynicism and Stirnernism are in general very compatible though, since the whole "things you own end up owning you" relates to spooks as accompanying material possessions. Also, Stirner was austere as fuck.

Well, currently, and to be changed at any time for both categories (though Bach stays at the top):

Plato as a favourite author,
Dostoyevski as a favourite author,
Das Parfum as a favourite novel

1. Bach
2. Mozart
and Beatles, to name something from other genre.

I'm not a regular here but would I be right in assuming the joke is that he picked all the typical beginner level 'patrician' choices?

>>3483579
lol

>>3483612

Basically, yes. ITAOTS and Camus are baseline patrician, but beyond that the poster faces a struggle to differentiate "his" taste from that of other patricians. Note how cautiously he chooses - not the famous Animal Collective album (MPP) nor yet the one with the reputation of being "better than MPP" (Strawberry Jam). Dostoevsky and Vonnegut are self-consciously critically aware choices, of course, so Animals As Leaders, as hilarious djent for teenagers, is the ultimate punchline (all the more so because it's immediately followed by two more "patrician" offerings.)

>>3483571
I need to read more on cynicism, honestly. I've always avoided it beyond Diogenes for reasons that'd make me look like a fag. Good to know.
>Also, Stirner was austere as fuck.
Was he? I have a biography of him downloaded that I plan on reading soon. That's interesting.

>>3483579
You likes the Maestro of the Fugues?
And him being Illogical to study him the most?
Whilst the Amadeus is a dancer with a little less logic, but a lot more spazz of Freud!
And the Thoven is attempting to balance both, though he is no God of the Fugue. Play every Key like a God in it's Well Temper-Clavier.

The Bach doesn't really tell stories like Amadeus and Beethoven - he just wrote the most studied of the Lot, due to it being the least Logical in balancing out how one is to transition each Key and how other Keys in other clefts are to accompany the first one.

>>3483724
Proper words you have; more succinct and clear than my leading to a little bit more open to interpretation.
Well I didn't mean to interpret my text as the Stoic Logician or Apollo being Bach and Amadeus being Dionysus. And Beethoven trying to balance the two extremes; deviating to deafness isn't the God of music.

I'm actually surprised they haven't tried to turn Gormenghast into the next big trend like they did with LOTR,Harry Potter,etc. I know BBC adapted it but I haven't seen their version yet.

>>3484048

theres nothing in it that could be trendified. it has no romance, action, or horror worth noting, and the reason why it's so fucking good is because of its ridiculous prose. it loses 100% of what is worthwhile or interesting about it in adaptation. also everyone in it is an asshole. there is zero chance that it will ever become the next big thing.
