recommend me a book

[slopslinger]

so frens,

what's the most beautifully written book you’ve ever read?

I'm seeking style over story. if the prose is pretty, I’ll brave any busted narrative.

all titles welcome but preferably no romance or action slop, fantasy / scifi, juvenile fiction, etc.

Basic pick. I don't read lots of books. I like this one, it's about the west.

n***a isn’t kafka existentialist?

 

[truetard]

And Guinness Book of World Records 2017

 

[Mess]

n***a isn’t kafka existentialist?

Kafka hated life. Nietzsche doesn't inherently hate life, but has pessimistic views. God is dead and such.

 

[faithful]

Also if you’ve never read The lord of the rings series, read it.

Animal Farm is great. All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

I guess nihilism and existentialism go hand in hand.
For one to create their own purpose, there mustn't be a pre-existing purpose.
