Everyday, I wake up to find a new shitty general being made. Why do you fags do this shit?

>>19072039
because without shitty generals the entire board fills up with politicalbaitposts and coomerposts

opensyllabus.org

Mapping the college curriculum across 7,292,573 syllabi.

>>19072039
because there are like 30 people asking for book recommendations everyday and its ruining the board

Call of the Crocodile. Just jump in blind. Seriously your not going to believe how batshit insane it is

>>19072032
alright anons i need some ufo books
>preferably non fiction
>studies of ufo cases
>why they might be/might not be fake
>evidence for and against
as well as
>why haven't aliens visited earth?/the great silence (aliens use earth as zoo, their tech is too primitive etc. think that lemmino video)

>>19072057
>ask for recs
>ruin the board
Pick one

>>19072194
thats the point of having a general. when there are 40 threads asking for recs why not just have a dedicated general instead of having to mire through all the threads on the main board.

I recommend a Jack Reacher novel.

>>19072039

I would like to request


A book.

>>19072282
Nabokov likes Butterflies, so this book is perfect for you.

>>19072282
Well, you've come to the right place. Please proceed.

>>19072210
This board is already slow enough. We don't need to start getting uppity about what threads are made, outside the coomerbait and off-topic posts

Okay, I'll bite.
Recommend me a book -- both fiction and non-fiction are fine -- by a successful contemporary academic who is also /ourguy/.
Can't think of any.

Lol @ OP, stop shilling your dogshit thread

>>19072554
>shilling
stop making rec threads pleb

>>19072567
Everything is a rec bro

Would anyone happen to have a pdf link for Marguerite Yourcenar essay collections, either The Dark Brain of Piranesi, or That Mighty Sculptor, Time?

I do not believe in right or wrong i only believe in my own actions/ideas

What books can you recommend which explores this aspect from inside and out to find out more about this feeling inside me?

Any books giving good info on how to start your own buisness? Know nothing about it but I do know I want to start one.

>>19072032
are there any good epic poems aside from the standard ones (iliad, odyssey, aeneid, divine comedy, paradise lost)

>>19073296

incredibly taut, violent, cynical crime stories

>>19073296

>>19073390
Beowulf

>>19073386

>>19072210
I prefer 30 recommendation threads to 30:
>book? Book? Banana book? How book? Monke
>lit boston meetup
>frog + retarded bait question
>offtopic rambling + 'books for this feel?'

>>19073118
This is a nsfw request thread.

Any mysteries you guys like? I want stuff that is considered the best, or something you find under appreciated.
Already read Chandler, Inherent Vice, some Fr. Brown and some Holmes.

>>19076091
The Athenian Mysteries is a nice historical fiction mystery series

>>19072032
I got tons of recommendations if anyone wants a decent book, I pick out pretty good stuff. I haven't dropped a book in ages. I read mostly fiction though, but I'm always reading a few nonfiction books as well. Reading a good action/thriller(Bullet Train) now along with some different fantasy(David Mogo. Godhunter & Son of the Storm) novels and after that I have some other stuff lined up for me. I hate not having anything to read so I make sure I always have a few books to read after I finish the book I'm on.

Detective novel with elements of paranormal/supernatural.
Looking for something similar to true detective season 1.

Cyberpunk poetry
Poetry heavy on biological terminology
And just good contemporary poetry (last decade) in general

>>19077776
Mean Business on North Ganson Street by S. Craig Zahler is pretty good. Detective tries to find out what's behind a string of cop killings.

>>19077849
Try Agrippa (A Book of the Dead) by William Gibson. LMN if you want something else instead.

Anybody got any late 20th century-21st century world history?

>>19072778
Not bleak, but very melancholic, The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann is basically exactly what you are looking for.

>>19073390
The Prelude by Wordsworth is amazing and better than all of them (except Homer).

Rec me something that will cure my pessimism

I heard G. K. Chesterton hated the Jews and now I'm intrigued. Gimme a good one.

>>19078689

A lie that's been for years now.

>Poetry heavy on biological terminology
Hmmm, Gottfried Benn was a medic during WWI, one of his poetry book is called "Brains" and another "Morgue"

The mouth of the girl who had lain long in the rushes
looked so nibbled.
When they opened her chest, her esophagus was so holey.
Finally in a bower under the diaphragm
they found a nest of young rats.
One little thing lay dead.
The others were living off kidneys and liver
drinking the cold blood and had
had themselves a beautiful youth.
And just as beautiful and quick was their death:
the lot of them were thrown into the water.
Ah, will you hearken at the little muzzles’ oinks!
