americanohno: I'm Going To EDUCATE Myself:

americanohno 01.03.17	HELLo
americanohno 01.03.17	hmm seems post modern to me... When it comes to contemporary poetry i prefer new formalism/retrogardism like Dana Gioia and Hakan Sandell. But i added Lin's Seven Controlled Vocabularies to my amazon wish list anyhow because i've mostly rejected that kind of poetry w/o ever having read it.
Dewinged 01.03.17	More Terry Pratchet, Lovecraft, Alan Moore and then videogames.
americanohno 01.03.17	videogames > books honestly.
Dewinged 01.03.17	Yeah man, but I never was a good reader anyway.
Sinternet 01.03.17	i'm mostly going through all noam chomsky's books atm
wham49 01.03.17	maybe you can start with EDUCATING yourself on good music
Satellite 01.03.17	d i won't do drugs a won't have an attitude r i will respect myself e i will educate me now
budgie 01.03.17	2 is good. also @sinternet, chomsky is king. following up 2, community and civil society by ferdinand tonnies is a very solid read
wham49 01.03.17	also, to answer 10, read Vonnegut, Thoreau's Walden, the Federalist Papers, and Vinyl Junkie
budgie 01.03.17	i loved walden until a bit after halfway through, he began to write like an irritating holier-than-thou cockhead
Deathconscious 01.03.17	really want to read The Three Body Problem.
Sinternet 01.03.17	yeah budgie mate, it's not only that i agree with him on most things but also that i really like his style of writing, very coherent
BandNewbac 01.03.17	i recently purchased the complete fiction of HP lovecraft so i'll probably be hitting that up like a bitch in the next month or so
DrMaximus 01.03.17	So read it Adolf what you waiting on
Deathconscious 01.03.17	already reading a series atm.
budgie 01.03.17	@sin check out on anarchism if you havent already. some great essays in there
americanohno 01.03.17	WOW wham you're gonna criticize my music taste then throw that normie bullshit book rec at me go lick satan's asshole in hell bitc WOW justr WOW
hal1ax 01.03.17	Reading Zizek's God in Pain right now. Pretty interesting little exegetical piece, both brilliant and occasionally deranged. Recently gave up on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit. Will prob circle back to it one day but it was fucking exhausting
guitarded_chuck 01.03.17	reading- Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage
americanohno 01.03.17	Zizek's a lot of fun. Honestly I prefer Boris Gunjevic's contributions to God in Pain more than Zizek's. Have you read The Monstrosity of Christ hal1ax?
hal1ax 01.03.17	"Have you read The Monstrosity of Christ hal1ax? " i have not man. i just borrowed "The Sublime Object of Ideology" from a friend whom has raved about it, so was thinking about firing that up soon. Should i also look into The Monstrosity ??
americanohno 01.03.17	@ budgie never heard of Ferdinand Tonnies before but Community and Society seems like an intriguing read.
wham49 01.03.17	Thus spoke Zarathustra, and Rousseau
budgie 01.03.17	let's not forget the most important text of all time, hobbes' leviathan
americanohno 01.03.17	uhhh it's worth it just to get a taste of John Milbank's writing (which makes Zizek's seem completely coherant in comparison) and it's one of the more intresting Theism v Atheism debates I've ever encountered. Plus the debate sort of centers on Milbank and Zizek's competing interpretations of Chesterton's novel "The Man Who Was Thursday". And Thursday's probably my favorite book.
hal1ax 01.03.17	ohh ok will check it. thx my man
americanohno 01.03.17	@ wham Yeah I need to read Rousseau. I'm an ignant bitch. & Nietzsche (along with The City of God) was originally on this list (paied humorously enough with Battlecross' kickass thrash/melodeath album Rise to Power) but I must have accidentally deleted the entry..
