Thanks for the new desktop background, I love you.

Dostoevsky is a good answer. CS Lewis, Saint John, Plato, Marcus Aurelius, George Berkeley, Tolkein, Will Durant, Kerouac, Jack London, Augustine, your mom.

Mishima. The way he weites about the ocean is fucking breathtaking. Makes me want to run away from home, jump in a sailboat, and explore uncharted waters.

agreed. knausgaard unironically opened up my eyes to see that the world is a wonderful place.

also i enjoyed it in book 4 when he finally got laid. it was very cathartic

Actually, I didn't really start to appreciate the uniqueness of things and people until I started to draw landscapes.

>muh self important narrow personal account

who are you again, faggot?

reading isn't necessary to arrive to higher truths, but it sure smooths things out. as authors tend to have already moved past common mistakes earlier experienced in life.

He has a point. Art degrees are on average among the dumbest college degrees. It's a very low effort field.
