Certainly didn’t mean to ignore your first email, sorry—I’ll go back and look. Feel free to email again or something, would love to hear from you.

I’m really down for whatever. Ive had some random pings for some physical meetup this next semester in Cambridge but that ultimately still seems like.a no-go for a while. The library tends to be pretty self-selecting, so I’m never really dealing with a lot of numbers so much as i am enthusiastic commitments—it makes it nice because those involved seem pretty on board to experiment. Would love to form something more stable online and outside of this website. I’ll brainstorm a little and keep you in the loop. Good looks, anon.

Time for a tattle run. see you boys around campus.

Say more, please.
This is really interesting.
How did you acquire your wealth? What do you study now?
Where, roughly, are you from?

Pykewater.com/reading-lists

Reading lists are up for:
War/Strategy
Music Theory
Hannah Arendt
Plato
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Friedrich Nietzsche

Wanted to post one more time since last night’s thread was pruned and anons asked to see the reading lists.

If anons who requested it see it, please respond. The reading lists are in the process of being re-vamped and i don’t want them up for very long.

Please enjoy. Feedback is always welcome.
Any specific reading list requests will be entertained and will be produced at a future date.

If y’all wanted some harder to find books on the subjects above, here’s a good place to start.

I forgot to pose the question back to you, but i would like to know: what is the image you see yourself as?

Goodnight.

Thanks brosef. If you got any questions that i can answer, or topics you want to discuss, I’m all ears.

He’s not rapture
Rapture liked his students, rapture liked teaching, rapture liked the university system.
Don’t know why you think anyone who teaches at an ivy is rapture.

Love,
Rapture

Interesting. Ive been looking for something like these. First seems pretty well-established and professional—is it like Silicon Valley’s cliffnotes? Seems like a subscription. Second seems private but far deeper...customizable? Don’t see any price structure.

Where else can I find top-level reading lists? Not meme tier

How do I break into the YA scene and make a bunch of money? Assume that I'm purely interested in turning a profit.
I understand that the YA scene is a cancerous ultrapolitical space filled with human piranhas, which may be a bit difficult for a white man like myself. But assuming I don't get my wings clipped the instant I start, what materials and prose should I steal / emulate to earn some easy cash?

Post books / plot summaries that make you giggle. Juvenile humor is acceptable, lauded
