The one time I met Lin at a party he was hitting on underage girls all night and kept asking if I had xanax several times.

blue squares posted:es. There's a great one in Rhetoric Society Quarterly comparing a letter from Paul to a speech by George W Bush about the war on terror. Very interesting. Not sure of the title or author, though I remembered reading that and thinking that they were really reaching to make some connections.

Do you really think that the book of Ruth is really that influential?

Mel Mudkiper posted:This is my motivation. Coates has written the most important book on race in a generation and its going to be much more fun to discuss than just going "this book is goofy lol" for a month. I just finished it rather than read matroya because someone loaned it to me and the guy who responded to me in the general discussion thread was right, its basically a book to see if you paid attention to us news the past year. I mean you can use the book to talk about race relations due to it adding a layer of abstraction (instead of an event its talking about a book) but I really don't think its that important. Every point he makes has been already put forth. Plus the d&d style arguments that would be made in that thread would be awful.

I'm going off of the fact that Dostoyevsky is not grim and depressing. Kafka, while grim is really funny.

I would honestly rather this thread go back to saying stuff like Mishima is an aesthetic fascist or that they don't like 2666 than read another post about where to draw the literature line which is always retarded as hell

I'm slowley making my way through maldoror at a crawl but I'm thinking a lot about zeno's conscious and the moments where he goes to the shrill voiced singer and in his first attempt to truly make her his mistress her akward mother is there as well and he just sits and reads from a singing theory book hoping she would leave but she is to petrified to move and lmao

Update: back on maldoror after zoroastrian hymns, still bored. Sensless violence and hate does very little for me.

If you want to read about a student being obsessed with a dejected older man and how he wants to die constantly read kokorro and remember to check the dimensions of the book before you get it.

a lot of anarcho-primatists call for human genocide but not a lot that have published (legit publishers bat least.,) will out right say it. so far dorris lessing's the good terrorist is ftw and some of the characters remind me of people i used to hang with.
