it's tawlf man

Books that will help me deal with the conflict of having a mission in life and a strong sense of duty towards it, but also a feeling that my many flaws as a person will stop me from completing it?

>brain associates a song with a very specific constellation of memories, feelings, visual references and aesthetic sensibilities that don't tend to interact with one another, therefore making it the only gateway to a new mental arrangement I now have to manage and sporadically feed

If you're a good writer you're probably able to cross different genres and boundaries freely and still make something good regardless of the medium or format you end up at, right?

I'm not. I'm too far gone. Carry on without me bros

Ebooks/digital copies are adhd/add cope. No point in discussing it because eretards can't bother having the attention span required to discuss in good faith, just trigger dopamine receptors.

This is why whenever people ask me what I like doing I tell them I like smoking alone in my garage.They usually say shit along the lines "haha lol you trying to get cancer or something?" or "you know that's bad for you" and I just say yeah and they quit bugging me about shit. Literally all they want is something they can make fun of you for so they try to take you down a peg and make you feel bad. Just make yourself out to be an absolute wreck and people don't find any fun in it anymore.

Does anyone else feel a sense of shame that you can download epubs/pdfs so easily? I recently googled a book and downloaded it. It would have costed me £30 if I had bought it. But it was on the internet for free.

Should I feel shame?

How do you guys schedule what books you plan on reading?

This girl I met a few months ago just left, she went back to her home country. We used to walk together a lot and would talk nonstop, and as the weeks went by our conversations got more personal. She'd smile and laugh a lot with me and I liked making her happy because she made me happy, and I started loving her. But I eventually stopped talking to her, I got angry at her for acting stupid, and she didn't understand why I stopped talking. Sometimes I'd see her looking over at me, waiting for me to say something to her and I'd look away, remembering my anger.

But she's still on my mind, and last night I dreamed about her. It was just like in real life, she looked at me, shyly stealing looks at me and I'd keep my eyes away from her, because if I spoke to her I might release a whole lot of anger that I know she wouldn't understand or be able to handle. And I walked away like always, without saying good bye

And if so, how much did you cry and why? /his/ books are welcome too.

It is about you, though.

Books that will get me to clean my room and reorganize my life?

Despite pic related, I've never smoked. All I do all day is lie in bed, skip lectures (I'm studying CS, which I've grown to hate) and browse /lit/.

Have there ever been any really great authors who were complete loser shut-ins? I guess not.

where do you read? I cant manage to read at home and my reading has suffered much for it.

tl.dr i wish i had a good place to read

>The task of schizoanalysis is that of learning what a subject’s desiring-machines are, how they work, with what syntheses, what bursts of energy, what constituent misfires, with what flows, what chains, and what becomings in each case. [And] this positive task cannot be separated from indispensable destructions, the destruction of the molar aggregates, the structures and representations that prevent the machine from functioning.
Based?

i've heard of people that pump out a novel or two a month, publish on amazon, and enjoy a steady stream of $ from their books. obviously i'm not expecting to make a lot of money, but anything is good for me to be honest.

other ways to make money writing?
