>Why Serres is worst?
It is pseud masturbation about philosophy and psychology through the work of Carpaccio in an almost stream of consciousness style. I bought the book without knowing the content and I expected him to talk about paintings like someone who genuinely likes them and want to share his love for it, but he just uses them as a platform for his wankery. I hate egocentric books and this was it. Too bad because I really like paintings.
>To call Heraclitus a non fiction is embarrassing.
What would you call it? Non-fiction is kind of a loose category anyway.
>Do you read whole Zibaldone?
Yes. Took me quite some times, almost read only that for more than a month during second lockdown.
>Was it worth it, and what do you like in it?
Yes, though you have to have at least some basic understanding of French, Italian, Latin and Greek and a solid general knowledge, otherwise a lot of his reflexions will be a total bore. Loved his thoughts on poetry, civilisation and life and desire though I didn't always agree with. But he's a very engaging writer and even when I disagreed it forced me to think about the topic at hand and develop my own understanding of it. Was kind of annoyed about his commentary on the French language being French myself (especially considering he quotes a lot of French writers) but I can see where he comes from given the time at which he wrote because French poetry in the 18th century is really uninteresting overall. I wonder what he would have thought about the evolution of French lit in the 19th century, because it goes against his theory IMO.

>I forced myself through a book every week
Nobody cares and nobody is impressed. Hope you're glad you spent all that time skimming.

>Oswald Spengler is for literal CHILDREN, bro.
I wish we lived in a world where children were smart enough to read Oswald Spengler. What’s wrong with you? Are you replying to the right post?

None. I find most literature incredibly boring. I enjoy watching people here babble about how many philosophers they know like they're smart instead of actually discussing their own philosophy like a true intellectual.

10 or so. Would've been way more if I didn't abruptly stop in March.

I had a really big reading slump this year, mainly between March and October.

- Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar
- Plato's Gorgias
- Joyce's Dubliners
- John Williams' Stoner
- Henry Miller's Tropic of Capricorn
- William Golding's Lord of the Flies
- Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives

It was good for me though, I realized why I liked reading in the first place. Enjoy it lads, it's not a competition.
