Hi /lit

I have been browsing awhile and read some of your recommended books
-moby dick(amazing)
-lolita(very good)
-1984(average)
-a clockwork orange(shit)
-the picture of dorian gray(good)
-treasure island(very good)
-choke(good)
-the invisable man(good)
-ulysses(absolute utter shit)

However these are all just stories.
Im ready for something deeper.

I want something that goes deep into art and the philosophy behind it. What is art? How can it have such an effect on me? etc
also im not interested in the history of art, more the emotional effect it has on me and why.

What does /lit recomend?

The syntopicon in The Great Books of the Western World has books based on subject. Art has it's own list with several books referenced. Your library, probably, has this book collection.

I want something that goes higher than the top of my class in the Navy Seals. What is Al-Quaeda? How can what you said have such an effect on me, you little bitch? etc also I'm not interested in the history of gorilla warfare, more the emotional effect it has on me and why, you little shit.

i think thats the point though , seems more of a real person recalling the situations rather than being a third person observer clearly seeing everything happen when it does and why

The language of Portrait reflects the age of the narrator. So when Dedalus is a child the language of the novel is childlike. Wait until he's in college, then your head will be spinning trying to keep up with his discussions of Aquinas.

ACTUAL RECOMMENDATION ALERT:

Aesthetics: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Art by Ann Sheppard

also read Ode to a Grecian Urn by Keats

>gives a purley superficial opinion on incredibly well-regarded art
