It was a good read all in all, but I'm not that much into that genre so I didn't really enjoyed it.

Any time I see these threads, I see little to zero interest in the titles (Why I rarely answer in them) but now that you asked, and so rudely, I can let the other shoe drop.

I am reading an anthology of anarchism by Guérin, The King Must Die by Renault, Ghosts of Freedom by Charles King. And a couple others I last read from back in December, so skipping.
Last finished books include a Moomin book, a collection of short stories from Jansson, collected essays of Emma Goldman, and The Ego and Its Own from you know who.
Life, grinding nonsense and other interests, keep me from polishing them off easily.

Hubba hubba, btw.

:3 you always read the best girl books. you finished the comfy ones, except ego which is dry as shit. better off reading the goethe bits he quotes.

>The Vivisector by Patrick White

I don't know why people don't know more about White, he's the only Australian to win the Nobel and he's a very unique writer. I loved Voss so I thought I'd try this.

It's good. Surprised at the consistence of the quality. If anything it increases. The discussion of "inverts" in the first chapter of this volume was very strange.

What are inverts?

Stirner's shorter bits (chapters in EaiO included) are best. The False Principal of Our Education and answering his critics, are both pretty sweet.

Still really interested in getting Goethe's Italian Journey. I similarly want to get up and go to Greece to help fuck shit up

Palomar by Italo Calvino

Shit is crazy, Calvino is fucking brilliant and this book is absolutely great. It's fun as fuck and deep as fuck, I can't believe how light and humorous it is while at the same it kicks back to real life as something really meaningful. It's about vision, sense of reality, sense of self.

Tô ligado mano, não curto mto também não. Já leu Manoel de Barros?

É uma merda esse daí brother, se liga. Fica um tempo sem ler e volta pra ver se consegue visualizar a bosta que é.

Fucking women

laurence sterne, the guy who wrote tristram shandy. it's a bit of a misnomer, because he doesn't get to italy because it's probably incomplete. it's very funny.

Men and women should be allowed to lust after one another more freely, user.

>Physics by Aristotle

Closing in on the end and I've reached his final discussion on the possibility of an uncaused cause. His repudiation of Zeno and diatribe on the traversibility of the infinite was dense but upon further reflection I believe I was supposed to use concepts expounded on earlier in the book and apply them to his arguments, which make begin to make more sense when seen in that light. Good thing I'm taking notes.

Some Hegel's lectures

It's alright as an introduction to his thought and to Plato but he repeats himself a little too much and he doesn't delve too deep on the details of the dialogues, just a general summary of their ideas.

It doesn't negate or excuse the vain, but it does call out the overly judgmental and hypocritical male who prefers the comforts of the misogynistic world. I think the ideas described suck.

Just started, so can't comment on whether I like it or not. First time I'm reading Nietzche, his writings are very different from what right-wing frogposters on Twitter claim it to be

John Berger is a hack why are you defending him

Contradictably ataraxiaratic and agitated/excited at the impeding societal changes, which will either kill us or give us a Star Trekian eutopia.
Hating the health issues, but I'm doing better than most in my class/age.

Nice pic you will catch all the underage virgins

Why Aristotle, and why physics? Just curious. How much of his other stuff have you read?

Well, I hope your kids get to enjoy a Star Trekian Utopia. I didn't know there was much social change in the Northern Hemisphere (I'm assuming Canada) at this point. I'm optimistic about my country (US) with the new plans to work with Russia to destroy the evil that is ISIS.

I'm going through [western] philosophy chronologically so naturally after finishing up with Plato Aristotle was next on the list. I'm reading Physics because it seemed like the most obvious work to proceed to after the Organon, which I spent the past year pouring over. Physics in particular is very enjoyable.

see picture, this is you and your kind

so eat john berger's words then

Wow no joke I'm doing exactly the same thing, but am one step behind. Spent a long time with Plato + secondary work on him, peeked into Xenophon's Socratic works, and have been working on the organon for about a month so far. Have read through posterior analytics so far, but am probably going to spend the next 2 weeks reading some commentaries on prior/posterior to get a better grasp before finishing the organon and moving on to physics.

Have you been reading commentaries? Which edition are you using? How much time did you spend devoted to the organon over the past year? That seems like way more time than I want to spend on it, although it's looking like I'll spend 2-2.5 months on it anyway.

No, attentionlad. I already told you it didn't excuse vanity, it merely points out your severe insecurity.
The lower half of your pic seems a bit like liberal pap

i know that feel bro... God is my only light in this forsaken city..

I've been reading the standard two volume Barnes collection of his Complete Works without commentary/secondary sources. I interspersed my readings of the Organon with unrelated books so I'd typically spend a few days on the shorter works like Categories and De Interpetatione and up to a month on the lengthier works like the Analytics and Topics while reading other things in-between them. Started it in May so if you keep at it without breaks or unrelated readings you can probably finish up in about a third of that time frame

Musashi

Amazing. Getting to the latter parts now and Musashi's development as a samurai is so well written. The way the author writes it so that Musashi "conceives" basic eastern philosophy concepts out of his life makes the book a whole another level of interesting. Not only does it have good plot and good characters, it's also a good way of making a first approach to Japanese culture and history. I feel like high fantasy should be more like this and less like asoiaf, but I guess lord of the rings had too big an impact for books like these to be read as an "epic" anymore.

Enjoyable although repetitive. Not super keen on finishing since it is just putting the character in different scenarios in order for it to argue the same point subsequently. I look forward to reading some of Sade's later stuff, assuming it reads as something more experienced.

you need to travel so you can appreciate how great you've got it. Toronto is literally on of the top 10-15 cities in the world, ffs.
you'd absolutely die if you lived in an average city, leet alone an actual hellhole like Monrovia or Aleppo or Detroit or Cleveland.

as a non-white man i can tell you that the far left are far more illogical and lacking in perspective these days. it's honestly pathetic the way they're so led around by their emotions: appeals to emotion, emotional reasoning, fuckin "microaggressions" whatever the fuck they are. the far left is demoralizing people and sapping their respective nations of vitality and strength.

i really love it. it's very original, deeply funny and deeply heartfelt

The sky in Toronto is always grey, all the buildings are high rises and they are all made of concrete so they are grey as well. There is mentally ill ppl literally everywhere i go. Loads of crime that i even personally got yo experience being a hero in, i stopped a bike thief from cutting a bike lock on a main street at 12pm NOON and held my ground despite him kicking and shouting at me, i was lucky to didn't get stab by a needle. My roommate steals from me. Past dark the streets are scary af full of scary ppl.

Tbh i just wanna live a simple life on the countryside and write my music and songs and poems to my wife and children one day. Toronto is literally a slightly better version of New York but that doesn't make it any less shit.
