Dostevsky, St. Augustine, Goethe, Holderlin, Wittgenstein, Descartes, Kant, and stuff like Hilary Putnam and Jerry Fodor other contemporary philosophy of language. They probably also read a lot of existentialist philosophy like Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, but they avoid the more purely phenomenological stuff like Husserl.

Also I think a good number of them are into the classic Greek tragedians like Euripides and Sophocles.

I downloaded the audiobook of basic economics and listened to it while playing vidya, something like 9 hours. It helped give me perspective because I honestly hadn't thought of a lot of those topics before in that light or on that level. But if you're an econ major then you could probably skip it, it basically just explains that economics studies the use of scarce resources which have alternative uses.

Silly Novels by Lady Novelists are a genus with many species, determined by the particular quality of silliness that predominates in them—the frothy, the prosy, the pious, or the pedantic. But it is a mixture of all these—a composite order of feminine fatuity—that produces the largest class of such novels, which we shall distinguish as the mind-and-millinery species. The heroine is usually an heiress, probably a peeress in her own right, with perhaps a vicious baronet, an amiable duke, and an irresistible younger son of a marquis as lovers in the foreground, a clergyman and a poet sighing for her in the middle distance, and a crowd of undefined adorers dimly indicated beyond. Her eyes and her wit are both dazzling; her nose and her morals are alike free from any tendency to irregularity; she has a superb contralto and a superb intellect; she is perfectly well dressed and perfectly religious; she dances like a sylph, and reads the Bible in the original tongues. Or it may be that the heroine is not an heiress—that rank and wealth are the only things in which she is deficient; but she infallibly gets into high society, she has the triumph of refusing many matches and securing the best, and she wears some family jewels or other as a sort of crown of righteousness at the end. Rakish men either bite their lips in impotent confusion at her repartees, or are touched to penitence by her reproofs, which, on appropriate occasions, rise to a lofty strain of rhetoric; indeed, there is a general propensity in her to make speeches, and to rhapsodize at some length when she retires to her bedroom. In her recorded conversations she is amazingly p. 179eloquent, and in her unrecorded conversations amazingly witty. he is understood to have a depth of insight that looks through and through the shallow theories of philosophers, and her superior instincts are a sort of dial by which men have only to set their clocks and watches, and all will go well. The men play a very subordinate part by her side. You are consoled now and then by a hint that they have affairs, which keeps you in mind that the working-day business of the world is somehow being carried on, but ostensibly the final cause of their existence is that they may accompany the heroine on her “starring” expedition through life. They see her at a ball, and they are dazzled; at a flower-show, and they are fascinated; on a riding excursion, and they are witched by her noble horsemanship; at church, and they are awed by the sweet solemnity of her demeanor. She is the ideal woman in feelings, faculties, and flounces. For all this she as often as not marries the wrong person to begin with, and she suffers terribly from the plots and intrigues of the vicious baronet; but even death has a soft place in his heart for such a paragon, and remedies all mistakes for her just at the right moment.

[Anonymous No.10135028]

The vicious baronet is sure to be killed in a duel, and the tedious husband dies in his bed requesting his wife, as a particular favor to him, to marry the man she loves best, and having already dispatched a note to the lover informing him of the comfortable arrangement. Before matters arrive at this desirable issue our feelings are tried by seeing the noble, lovely, and gifted heroine pass through many mauvais moments, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that her sorrows are wept into embroidered pocket-handkerchiefs, that her fainting form reclines on the very best upholstery, and that whatever vicissitudes she may undergo, from being dashed out of her carriage to having her head shaved in a fever, she comes out of them all with a complexion more blooming and locks more redundant than ever.

We may remark, by the way, that we have been relieved from a serious scruple by discovering that silly novels by lady p. 180novelists rarely introduce us into any other than very lofty and fashionable society. We had imagined that destitute women turned novelists, as they turned governesses, because they had no other “ladylike” means of getting their bread. On this supposition, vacillating syntax, and improbable incident had a certain pathos for us, like the extremely supererogatory pincushions and ill-devised nightcaps that are offered for sale by a blind man. We felt the commodity to be a nuisance, but we were glad to think that the money went to relieve the necessitous, and we pictured to ourselves lonely women struggling for a maintenance, or wives and daughters devoting themselves to the production of “copy” out of pure heroism—perhaps to pay their husband’s debts or to purchase luxuries for a sick father. Under these impressions we shrank from criticising a lady’s novel: her English might be faulty, but we said to ourselves her motives are irreproachable; her imagination may be uninventive, but her patience is untiring. Empty writing was excused by an empty stomach, and twaddle was consecrated by tears. But no! This theory of ours, like many other pretty theories, has had to give way before observation. Women’s silly novels, we are now convinced, are written under totally different circumstances. The fair writers have evidently never talked to a tradesman except from a carriage window; they have no notion of the working-classes except as “dependents;” they think five hundred a year a miserable pittance; Belgravia and “baronial halls” are their primary truths; and they have no idea of feeling interest in any man who is not at least a great landed proprietor, if not a prime minister. It is clear that they write in elegant boudoirs, with violet-colored ink and a ruby pen; that they must be entirely indifferent to publishers’ accounts, and inexperienced in every form of poverty except poverty of brains.

This just makes my dick harder.

[Anonymous No.10135042]

It is true that we are constantly struck with the want of verisimilitude in their representations of the high society in which they seem to live; but then they betray no closer acquaintance with any other form of life. If their peers and peeresses are improbable, their p. 181literary men, tradespeople, and cottagers are impossible; and their intellect seems to have the peculiar impartiality of reproducing both what they have seen and heard, and what they have not seen and heard, with equal unfaithfulness.

There are few women, we suppose, who have not seen something of children under five years of age, yet in “Compensation,” a recent novel of the mind-and-millinery species, which calls itself a “story of real life,” we have a child of four and a half years old talking in this Ossianic fashion:

“‘Oh, I am so happy, dear grand mamma;—I have seen—I have seen such a delightful person; he is like everything beautiful—like the smell of sweet flowers, and the view from Ben Lemond;—or no, better than that—he is like what I think of and see when I am very, very happy; and he is really like mamma, too, when she sings; and his forehead is like that distant sea,’ she continued, pointing to the blue Mediterranean; ‘there seems no end—no end; or like the clusters of stars I like best to look at on a warm fine night. . . . Don’t look so . . . your forehead is like Loch Lomond, when the wind is blowing and the sun is gone in; I like the sunshine best when the lake is smooth. . . . So now—I like it better than ever . . . It is more beautiful still from the dark cloud that has gone over it, when the sun suddenly lights up all the colors of the forests and shining purple rocks, and it is all reflected in the waters below.’”

We are not surprised to learn that the mother of this infant phenomenon, who exhibits symptoms so alarmingly like those of adolescence repressed by gin, is herself a phoenix. We are assured, again and again, that she had a remarkably original in mind, that she was a genius, and “conscious of her originality,” and she was fortunate enough to have a lover who was also a genius and a man of “most original mind.” This lover, we read, though “wonderfully similar” to her “in powers and capacity,” was “infinitely superior to her in faith and development,” and she saw in him “‘Agape’—so rare to find—of which she had read and admired the meaning in her Greek Testament; having, from her great facility in learning languages, read the Scriptures in their original tongues.” Of course! Greek and Hebrew are mere play to p. 182a heroine; Sanscrit is no more than a b c to her; and she can talk with perfect correctness in any language, except English. She is a polking polyglot, a Creuzer in crinoline. Poor men. They're all a bunch of roastie whores not worth reading.

>tfw it was my birthday yesterday
>gf nagged me to book the day off as a holiday
>bought her a ton of carefully considered presentes for her last birthday
>wake up
>she calls me from the living room
>one gift on the sofa
>she's sitting with her legs up right next to it
>unwrap it
>it's just her feet wrapped up for f&s
>she smiles and curls her lips inwards

Am I wrong for thinking this was a poor effort? I couldn't get it out of my head all day. It seems like she doesn't really care about me.

Birthday and gift giving is fucking trash. Nothing is a barometer for how much someone cares about you than their personal dedication to you. Fuck off with your juvenile material entitlement.

If I could stop people from buying me gifts I would. It's cucks like you that put people into a fantasy debt to you because
>omg I worked so hard to make you this nice thing
and such a "grand gesture" can never remain unrequited. Consider if you posed your gift as a contract: "I will jump through hoops of fire and grapple lions, dive for pearls and sunken treasure, stop the world and give you everything you ever wanted, but only if you do the same for me." If you expect everyone to take you up on that offer, because it resonates with you for some reason, you're wrong. You're not signing me up for any sort of fun or enjoyment in doing so: insomuch as I witness what I receive on my birthday with the knowledge I have to pay it back, I don't even get to enjoy my birthday anymore because of exactly what you did, and were proud of. Instead, you're signing me up for a fucking headache due to the phantom obligation of having to live up to the reciprocal standard you laid the foundation of. God what a nightmare.

I used to do all the cute girls' book reports in school, and usually they had me do them on books they actually read. I guess they were also curious what I would think of them. Anyway, it's all very sappy romance stuff. Centers on hurt feelings, couples that want to be together but the fate denies it, whatever. Girls are weird.

Tell us about your experience, anon.

>>10139114
I don't know. I can imagine the situation you're describing, where I agree with your assessment, but that's pretty pessimistic. I think you should care enough about the other person's experience at the moment of giving the gift that you put some effort into it. It has nothing to do with reciprocity and does indicate if the person cares.

That said, I think we each have backgrounds that make us find these things more or less important. In >>10138351's case it could just be that she didn't think birthday presents mean that much.

The only girls that read are either uggos or autistic. Those two qualities frequently go hand in hand though

Donna Tartt and Hanya Yanagihara are amongst my favourite authors. Also Ayn Rand. Not all female authors are crap.
