[Lokenstien]

Have you ever read René Daumal?

I have not.

 

[Maskull]

I have not.

You should read him. Shame he died. Mount Analogue ends in the middle of a sentence. You should read up on his instructor as well. Although not French, his teacher was also a fine writer and highly influential in his time.

I have not. What else do you recommend by him?

"The powers of the word" title got me

I looked him up and he seems really interesting and up my alley. I never knew Mount Analogue was the inspiration behind Holy Mountain. I'm pretty unfamiliar with a lot of 20th century french authors it seems.

I think you might have read some like Sartre, Camus, and Beauvoir. I'm looking at the list and I'm more familiar with some than I previously thought.

how and why would you assume to even begin to know what he has read?

Now you got me interested. That movie is just a string of loosely connected metaphors and allegories, I can't imagine how something like this would work in a book form.

If that interests you then you should look towards his teacher as well. Gurdjieff's work Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson is definitely worth your time.

I have not. What else do you recommend by him?

Serious Drinking. Anything you can find, really. Some of it such as his Pataphysical Essays require prior reading for it to make any sense at all.

Beauvoir

She was an awful, awful person.

 

[Meiwaku]

She was an awful, awful person.

I never looked into who she was as a person. Care to inform?

 

[Lokenstien]

Camus I'm definitely familiar with as I plan to read many of his works in the near future. I didn't immediately recognize the other two names but after looking up their bibliography I've certainly seen excerpts and regurgitated ideas from them. It both amazes and kills me just how much knowledge I've been exposed to that I never properly put names and dates onto in my mind.

 

[Dick Mason]

She was an awful, awful person.

She is redeemed because I can pronounce her name as 'Beaver' and then giggle. Simone* Beaver sounds like Michael Jackson's secret drag name.
* Simone is pronouced Shamone, as Sade is pronounced Sharty.

I never looked into who she was as a person. Care to inform?

Beauvoir was bisexual, and her relationships with young women were controversial.[38] French author Bianca Lamblin (originally Bianca Bienenfeld) wrote in her book Mémoires d'une jeune fille dérangée (Memoirs of a deranged girl, published in English under the title A Disgraceful Affair) that, while a student at Lycée Molière, she was sexually exploited by her teacher Beauvoir, who was in her 30s.[39] Sartre and Beauvoir both groomed and sexually abused Lamblin.[40]

Jesus Christ almighty.

She was the most important contributor to feminism. That's not what bothers me. I do not care about that. She was for decriminalizing pedophilia. She was a sex predator and enabled the sex crimes of her partner, Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as others.

holy shit 500+ pages in less than a week? i'm glad i ditched that bullshit

It was actually moving a fair bit slower than the speeds we were pulling last week

Contradiction in terms.

Recommend me something good. I've been listening to nothing but oi for almost a week in preparation for a road trip and I need a palette cleanser.
