The Brothers Karamazov. Read it for over 2 hours. Feels good.

[Anonymous No.11260950]

So far? Some of Book 7 of Pappus' Collection. Gonna take me a little while to finish this one up.

I got Chapter 9 of The General Theory by Keynes coming up, pretty quick one, then a couple articles by Hamilton/Madison, then I'll probably read a fair amount by Proclus regarding the first book of Euclid.

Will to Power book 3

[Anonymous No.11261522]

>>11261483
I was reading Will To Power book 2. His history of nihilism is of course outdated (how could it not be?) and to say the least, not comprehensive; so i felt a little bored with it, like arguing against German Idealism is just tilting at windmills; a few gems here and there of course, but ultimately left me feeling flat, because he just kept grinding his axe. Decided to switch to Kerouac's Some of the Dharma (his Buddhist studies notebooks), pretty informative but completely without a system, probably unhelpful to anyone genuinely interested in the subject and again, more apathy followed. The past weekend i spent drinking and masturbating so i think i am just drained. I feel like embarking on a new attempt at self-discipline but creeping depression dunks my head into murky waters and makes my body ache. Realised that the feeling of fulfilment is as fleeting as heroin bliss, where to go from here?

The Remains of the Day.
I like it. There are also not too many words I have to look up, as English isn't my mother tongue so that's nice.

Pretty good.
The Greek clusterfuck is a good representation of how politics in the west worked for the next 2500 years.

[Anonymous No.11262364]

Not really at all, but I'm glad you could get something from it.

The conversations of the seven who overthrew Astyages was my other favorite part of that book.

Do you think Greeks were organized and heroic?
Yeah, everything about Persia was golden.
The horse thing was retarded though.

I don't have my old reaction folder anymore, so just imagine I posted a poorly representation of a hug.

Also seek professional help or at least get out your zone and seek some bros to hang out.
