Slow going as i now return to this book

Im almost done! And honestly i kinda get some parts now which is awesome.

I was told this was the book which led my friends father to give up on continental philosophy and indeed i too would have given up if i had the capacity to comprehend what is going on; luckily I just read, smile, and nod pretending there’s any shred of coherence as my mind becomes undone in an unappealing manner.

I get it, I really do, continental philosophy seems like a bunch of bullshit, but at the same time I believe philosophy should be an exploration of the new ways life can be, even analytically and rhetorically, that exploration is what undergirds the possibility for new arguments, orientations, and the lines of flight we take to destratify and deterritorialize the concepts of reality which seem to code the world one w

Flannery O’Connor please stop making everyone die in every story and bring back Enoch he is awesome

I hate this guy so much

This is a pretty long book I hope it doesnt end up being just one subsection of an even larger book that I can’t even hope to finish in the year of 2026 or 2027 due to its sheer volume

Travis kim finish a reading for class on time challenge

Yay i get to read this again for class

longest book ever wtf

i've made like no progress reading this but i just wanted to bring up that i read this paper talking about how the eucharist was central to Joyce's aesthetic... like what are we talking about bro. I hate harold bloom's whole academic goon squad. this book is so buns i have to use a translator to read it this is why we have to delete modernism

my dumbass tried reading this book to learn korean better but its stupid because its like reading shakespeare or joyce to learn english. too late though.

이 오래된 책 문법 진짜 어려워. 다음에 더 쉬운 책 읽을 거야. 내가 어려운 책을 추천받고 싶어서 그랬으니까 내 잘못이야.

No wonder harold bloom loves this book it’s literally just a glaze fest for the overly academic western tradition. Constant allusions to the bible, hamlet, and the odyssey (duh) but tbh its not all that. Joyce is quoted to say that he gave scholars centuries of work with this & He also quoted christ at the last supper on his 50th birthday in latin which all the academics overhype…just painfully pretentious.
