I'm reading Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being. I'm 100 pages in; roughly a third of the way through.
It's okay so far, but last night I started the third section while feeling pretty tired and I'm not sure if I missed something but it seems a character's name changed (from Tomas to Franz) or something? I'm honestly not sure if it's a different character entirely or just a first/last name that the writer switched to using. Going with it being a new character, the situations this person finds themselves in are exactly the same as the first character and he even has sexual relations with the same woman in the same manner (there are lots of repeating motifs throughout the writing which made it more confusing). I think I'm gonna start the section again, unless anyone who has read it already can just inform my restless brain.

I got filtered by Camus' Sisyphus. It felt like he had the information I wanted, but was trying to make a book about it while also dancing around and hiding that very information. I'll try again, though.

Ah, sorry. Didn't make the distinction between essays and novels. Been rewatching Mr Robot for the past fourteen hours so my mind is somewhere else apparently.

Perhaps too broad a question, but what would you say are the best philosophy books on ego? Particularly the absurdities of ego.

I'm interested in learning why ego drives so many decisions people make. If you have any authors or specific books to recommend I'd appreciate it.

>A man born 400 years BC was wrong about stuff
The absolute retardation of redditors... If you dsmiss Plato because his conclusions were 'wrong' with no regard as to the influential aspects of HOW he got there then you have no right going near a philosophy lecture, let alone parading a master's degree in the field as if you know something about it.

You should just stick to watching Marvel films if you're having this much of a hard time deciding on paperback/hardcover for fucking game of thrones books. GRRM sounds too complicated for you anyways.

why are all languages so shit?
the perfect language of the future would have no useless verbose shit
>No fucking x and c letters
>Letters should be spelled the way they are and nothing changes that. (german is guilty of this)
>No polysemique (multi-meaning) words (i'm looking at you, french)
>Give adjectives bloody gender
>No more 'to be' verb (or verbe etre), just like arabic, good and simple.
>Make verbe conjugation consistent and rid us of useless tenses that 99% of people won't use 99% of the time

Here's a short 10 minute play I wrote for my acting class. Nobody really said anything about it except one dude who said he liked the quips/dry humor and said it reminded him of British Humor.
Professor said it was intelligently written, but she is overly kind to everyone so.

Loosely based on real events.
