Anyone else here like Emil Cioran?
I've read A Short History of Decay, On the Heights of Despair, and I just picked this one up today. Love everything I've read so far, and I'm interested in finding some similar stuff besides the obvious Nietzsche/Schopenhauer.
Also how the fuck do you pronounce his name? I've heard "chaw-wren", "chore-ahn", and "see-rahn".

Journal of a Sad Whiny Cunt Written in All Honesty by Me
Yes, and he is one of my favorites. His principles will always be ridiculed by posters like because they've been so deluded by their own biology, because humanity "needs" to prosper.
"not everybody loses his innocence: therefore not everybody is unhappy. those who live naively, not out of stupidity - innocence is a pure state which excludes such deficiencies - but out of instinctive and organic love for nature, whose charm innocence is always quick to discover, those are the ones who achieve harmony, an integration with life, much coveted by those who struggle on the heights of despair."
What's your favorite book by him? And who else would you recommend?
The Trouble With Being Born is incredible. His writing is like little aphoristic sound bites of truth that hit you hard and change your views on the world forever.
Of course, I would have to recommend Ligotti's "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race."
Jokes on you I like Cioran. I just take breaks from masturbating to I Have a Special Plan for This World and reading The Last Messiah repeatedly while crying to shitpost.
That's fine. I'm just saying that this thread will only reach 30 posts maximum and many of those posts will be people arguing for a pro-natalist standpoint akin to the first post you created, because that's the way the world works.
I got a copy of On the Heights of Despair, i'm not sure if I should start right away.
Honestly I only got it because I was getting Tragic sense of Life by Unamuno and it was the same publisher for both books here in my country.
I'm still unsure how to approach Cioran, any tips?
Thank you.
These look incredible. Thanks!
