Today im in the mood for thinking about reading
Albert Camus - On Human Revolt
I was thinking about the beat generation this morning.
Jack Kerouac - on the road
Jack Kerouac - Dharma bums
I found the special relativity theory explained by Albert Einstein
In simple terms for everybody who doesn’t understand psysics
He starts with a introduction to the old dogma of psysics
Which might be boring, and it is.
But middle way he explaines it using a train analogy
It’s intuitive too
The first chapter on writers and writing applies to this day.
"Writing for money is destroying our language "
I think he also said
“Writing should be done when you think you have something to say”
And also
“no matter what you thought, since it came from your mind, others will also understand it because it was conceived by another similar mind”
Im thinking about reading some more in this splendid book, even i find the pornographic parts a bit revolting:
The Thief’s Journal ( Journal du voleur , published in 1949) is a novel by Jean Genet. It is a part-fact, part-fiction autobiography that charts the author’s progress through Europe in a depoliticized 1930s, wearing nothing but rags and enduring hunger, contempt, fatigue and vice. The main character encounters bars, dives, flophouses, robbery, prison and expulsion in Spain, Italy, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Nazi Germany and Belgium.
The novel is structured around a series of homosexual love affairs and male prostitution between the author/anti-hero and various criminals, con artists, pimps, and a detective.
I am you by Daniel Kolak : The metaphysical foundation of global ethics or an attempt to scientifically explain open individualism
I didn’t even hear of this guys until now…
He seemed like a great person and going from thief to a writer is amazing
Still haven’t finish Cairo modern and i have three other books unfinished too
@anon20787234 The fall is also pretty and his essays The myth of Sizyphus (trigger warning)
I didn’t finish the revolt one,
i started the myth of syphys (?) but got triggered by the introduction
I tried reading the one with the rats in Algeria but find it boring
I only finished the outsider.
if i remeber correctly his style is like telling a story with more meaning to it which you need to find out on youself like an analogy
But that’s an excuse for bad writing. The myth of syphys is different thou but still triggering.
Yeah, I fixed the post about the Myth of Syzyphus (?) Post. Although I personally found the Plague triggering (with the rats).
The Fall is not in anyway bad writing IMO.Quite the opposite.
