Trying not to drink, I'm starting to get body aches, and everything I'm doing is starting to feel like just doing it to avoid driving to the store to buy sugary alcohol. I have many things I need to do and am backed up on but all I want to do is curl up in bed with an iced drink and watch anime.

>I take it there are no forests in the Mediterranean region nor in Eastern Europe, so neither Graeco-Roman people nor Slavic could think in 3d.

And how to be ironic. Can someone here explain?

What the fuck is postmodernism when it comes to literature? Is it just a word for pseudo shit you don't like or is there a definition other than a "time period". Serious question.

>PLAYDOUGH WAS AGAINST WRITING! LOOK HE WROTE ALL ABOUT IT!
anon, you're retarded. it was socrates who said that in plato's phaedrus. obviously, plato wasn't against writing, he was just using socrates' aversion to writing as an example to show how a new technology can have an unforeseen impact on society. also, the greeks actually wrote down their mythology. they wrote down a lot of shit, google the library of alexandria. don't compare the greeks to your mudhut snow-nigger religion.

I'm a huge American Patriotard but I never read American Lit because most of it that I've tried has been garbage.

Can anyone recommend decent American books? Moby Dick is the only one I've liked so far

So far I've done alright slogging through all of the philosophers from the greeks to the german idealists to the Traditionalists to the marxists, but Kant I haven't brought myself to read.

His books look so incredibly boring, but he seems to be central to philosophy because everyone responds to him all the time. Is it really necessary to read him for an overall understanding of philosophy?
