Swain wrote The Stoneground Ghost Tales: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/44581

Ghost Stories of an Antiquary is the first of four books M. R. James (a colleague and member of the Chit-Chat Society at Cambridge to whom James read his ghost-stories at Christmas).

Some of the Gothic stories by Poe may also fit what OP is looking for, and some of the stories by H. P. Lovecraft, such as The Outsider.

Does anyone have free sources for this guy's books (can be in French)?

Say, Kyra Kyralina (aka Chira Chiralina), Uncle Anghel, etc. others in the Adrien Zogaffi series of books

or Russia unveiled: 1927-1930 (The Other Flame and Confessions of a Loser), but really all other works.

Maybe also the essay 'the man who adheres to nothing' and other non-literary writings

>While I prefer open-source solutions, if you already have a recent version of MS Office, try loading your PDF directly into MS Word. MS Word now converts PDF files to Word documents amazingly well (another example here). Microsoft refers to this as PDF Reflow, and it has been available since MS Word 2013. Word's PDF Reflow even automatically finds the text in scanned/bitmapped PDFs and uses (quite accurate) optical character recognition (OCR) to convert it to editable text characters in the Word document. Once you have your PDF file in MS Word format, you'll have a lot more capability to manipulate it into other formats and/or form factors. For example, you can use the free e-book management utility, calibre, to convert .docx to epub/mobi, or you could use Writer2ePub, ePub Tools–a Word add-in, or pandoc (cross platform).

Holy shit, this works much better than the standard process with k2opt. Just open the pdf in word, save as docx and then use calibre to convert it to epub or azw3. You can then also edit the table of contents in calibre.

Hello everybody. We have a book club on Discord, where we'll be reading old and new works relevant to economics and politics, mostly from a libertarian or classical liberal point of view, although we also discuss leftist and fascist works or other classics.

The first two books we'll be reading are John Lockes Second Treatise of Government and Adam Smiths Wealth of Nations, first book. After that, we go on with Bastiat, Ricardo, Ayn Rand, Karl Marx, Rothbard, Eugen Richter, Sumner, Mises and Hayek. That isn't set in stone though, so feel free to propose other works.

No one has to read a particular work or participate in discussion, but we got a few members already, some new ones and some fairly experienced, so we can get discussions started.

Here's the link to discord: https://discord.gg/4MP7WA

If it expires, just let me know, I'll post another one then.

Hey /lit/

You ever read a book in which the story is told about a number of independent characters undergoing different challenges interwoven – a chapter on this person, a chapter on that – but as the book draws to a close, it turns out they're all the same person maybe in different times of their life or different perspectives of them?

Did you read something like this?

Can you name it?

Did it suck?

What sucked about it?

Did you feel cheated by it, like the writer was lying to you and you felt all like betrayed n shit?

Does the idea suck?

Would you feel cheated by a story like that?

Wouldya? Wouldya? Wouldya?

Or are you ctrl+c-ing this thread right now and sending the proposal to your agent?

Closest I can think of is Cloud Atlas albeit that's people reincarnating into new eras

Why would I feel betrayed by that? Presuming it was well-written and well-crafted, nothing would have changed about it.

Why didn't Sauron just make another ring after the One was destroyed?

I think the simplest answer to OP's question is that all Maiar are subject to the same creative principle regardless of inclination; Yavanna (like maybe Fëanor as well?) had simply incorporated too large, or perhaps too integral, a part of her spirit into the Trees remake them.

This power transference issue is complicated though.

Morgoth empowered his minions to the point of diminishing himself. (Tolkien says, interestingly, that at the end of the First age he was less powerful than Sauron at the end of the Third).

Sauron did likewise, but to no loss as long as the Ring existed. Furthermore, for some reason, he is only strenghthened by its possession, as in some feedback loop. Maybe Morgoth was being too indiscriminate in his dissemination of his evil?

Then, there are the Valar' works (the Trees, the stars, dwarves (who, at their very beginnings, were perhaps no better than Aulë's own kind of will-less orcs), which didn't seem to impact them at all, eg. by making them lose the power of (re)incarnation that Morgoth and Sauron had lost. Or maybe it did, ultimately? The Valar ultimately did give up direct wordly intervention; I suppose I can fancy that a reason.

I expect that either Tolkien, Christopher, or members of some learned board have already addressed all this perfectly.

I still don't see how Lotr is like those epics, Lotr seems more needlessly complex in a fashion Tolkein didn't understand and I'd argue is more related to modern fantasy.

Of course it's not as deep as sacred books and books that are specifically made to be theological while historical but still :

>Tolkien wanted to create a mythology for great Britain

>Inspired himself of other ancient mythology

>Use symbols, make a cosmogony…

>Said he made it voluntarily christian in the second writing

>Talks about virtues of the nobility and of the ancients

>His work is in the straight line of traditional thinking (Tolkien being a traditional catholic), example of this can be found in his catachronic (opposite of progressive, I don't know the translation of this word in english) view of history.

While fantasy used the exterior appearance of lotr, there are not in the same category. Fantasy is a degenerate style (eragon, GoT, harry potter,…) which is now modern and totally against the deeper perspective of Tolkien. Also, I don't know, lotr seems quite complexe (I'm talking of the all Tolkien's universe).

tl;dr : I don't ask for dragons and elves, but for knights with virtues and for a traditional view.

The books meme. The meme that people who read more for the sake of reading are better people. How many retards have you met that like Dostoevsky or CS Lewis or Hemingway or Wilde some other 19th 20th century writer and then completely preach their books like it defines their life? I can’t stand people who read books and then piece them all together to form some radical centrist (ie cuckold) ideology. Oh yeah gulags are bad. Oh yeah nazi concentration camps are bad. Oh yeah prisons are bad. Oh yeah authority is bad. Oh yeah god is good but I don’t believe in god but I’m sure he’s a feminist gay black jew. Fascinating take…

None? Then again, everyone I know who likes reading thinks that Harry Potter is a masterpiece. Honestly, there are much, much worse authors to base your philosophy off of than Dostoevsky and Lewis, though I can see how it would be annoying to talk to some fag who claims to love their works while completely missing the point.

Reading for messages can change thinking, at most, superficially.

The only example i could think of is when reading out of date science papers. If they read to much of it, they will get a skewed view towards the subject.

Everything you said had coherence until you mentioned the centrism.

The irony here is that you hate people who preach their favourite books, while preaching your favourite philosophy/set of books/method of reading.
