I love Camus. Just remember kids, correlation does not equal causation.

*just kerouac

bukowski took care of his own shit you misinformed fool

>>2489374

Both writers writers wrote mostly about their lives.
So reading narrative about somebody's life isn't about feeling? Okay man.. that's like totally your choice...

That makes me sexist too right? My point lies there.

Opening with, 'I am not a hedonistic bastard or immature cunt'.

I like Kerouac because he had his troubles and he put them directly and openly into his work. I'm taking 'Satori In Paris' and 'Subterraneans' here as examples of that. Haven't even read 'On The Road', don't know if I want or need to (sue me).

And the Buk, well I reckon many people can sympathize with his stories, feeling useless or out of place. When you don't feel special at all, so many many are sexist and low deep down, he was an honest fucking bro, and boy could he pace a story and keep you turning even though his message often doesn't change, affecting stuff if you don't automatically reject it because it's 'below you'.

ps: Ginsberg was hopeless, Burroughs should only really be lauded as a character, 'famed' experimenter, and prophet like bro with not too much to say outside of his little oddities of character.

Okay guys, I assume you aren't THAT elitist.
Beats do NOT equal entry level, you know it depends on what level you enjoy the work and which of them you're reading. It is stupid to like all of the beats BECAUSE they were beats, that is a bit backwards.

bye guise x

And come on guys, you know Kerouac and the Buk inspire something in you, they're good writers. Shame they were frendz with ginburger tho - the beats.

Nietzsche? lololol

Good point. How funny would it be if every hipster that said they were a nihilist were forced to breathe every breath; comic gold.

>>2477533

'Habit you have', 'Ingrained in me', hmm, interesting. So perhaps it is like er... your nature?

I stole an empty notebook, I don't know why, I didn't write in it, why would I when there was nothing in it?

>>2477516

Ok, you MIGHT be.

>>2477504

How do you know that?

>>2477495

I agree, that's why I bake, gets it all out of me. Are you..... an actual.... nihilist? :O

>>2477490

I'm a nihilist whenever I overhear conversations of strangers or walk down a highstreet; also, when baking.

>>2477483

Ay yo homes, yu gone and mist tha point!!111!1

Does the nihilist bite his nails down to the skin? Does the nihilist look both ways before crossing the street?


Pic related; David Bowie doesn't know.

Camus
Kafka
Bukowski and Kerouac (they would bring the booze)

>>2471629

Fair enough, I have used one. Was quite weird, there's no need to actually use one these days though. +1 Sunhawk.

Commence circle-jerk guise.

>>2471622

Go on then, I'll stroke your ego.

You made that awful thread about 'omg should i buy a typewriter..?!'. I hate you sunhawk. SO IM GOING TO SAY METAMORPHOSIS ANYWAY.
