Is there a novel (or rather a travel book) that only specifically goes through the scenery the main character sees throughout a journey (a book that's only about looking through a passenger seat window)?

it's all just one big scenery maaaan

Please help me find a site I can download all of the work of a painter at once. I've checked all the normal places and slsk and they are often there but also often missing.

Not the entire novel, but much of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is dedicated to descriptions of scenery and the thoughts of the titular character as he travels.

lost in the funhouse maybe? but it also has a lot of other meta stuff on top of the descriptions

How do I into philosophy? My ignorance of it feels overwhelming, where do I start
>inb4 The Greeks

Unless... is that where I'm supposed to start?

Is there such a thing as good sports fiction?

Natuurdagboek by Nescio, not sure if there is a translation though

assess your own philosophical knowledge - I'm biased but yes the Greeks are a good place to start given that they form a big chunk of the bedrock of later philosophy... however the style can often be a barrier/stumbling block

i'd say get some introductory books to philosophy as a whole, stuff that introduces ages/epochs/vocabulary or perhaps gives you a timeline overview?

best advice i can give you i guess is approach it in a manageable fashion - the greeks alone can take months/years to consume entirely, gather secondary knowledge/approaches etc

there's a really good YT channel i cant recommend highly enough called Thunk that introduces philosophy/psychology/all sorts of conceptual areas in an approachable fashion, but it's not facile or derivative

second post also

i'd dispute that the is a place where you're "supposed" to start - more important than this perhaps is recognising that you want to start and get involved and also that you're widely 'ignorant' of much of it.

i'd say the easiest approach would be to start getting into some philosophical authors/aspects that appeal to you in some way, be it for their attitude or the subject matter theyre discussing?

if you do that, then perhaps look at who influenced them, who theyre responding to and the tradition from which they came and so forth you'll have a much better time of things and be more productive.

obvs just my 2 cents on the matter but it seems the most practical way of doing things.

also side note on teh greeks - big tomes and treatises etc are not in any way the only sources of greek philosophy. a great way to find a route into the greeks is the plays (old/new comedy and the tragedies) and also the epics like those of homer alongside the various histories, given all of these are naturally more vibrant/engaging than page after page of dense technical treatises can be!

sorry for the schizo/rambling approach, hope some of this helped and didnt come across as obvious/patronising at any point!
