No harm in asking; however, open ended general request threads tend to go nowhere.

There are a variety of /lit/ image-board mosaics detailing various topics and genera for suggestions. The best we have here is "the last book you read" threads, which invite people to state why they found a given book worth pursuing.

Still, I'll throw a few out there.

1. Politics:

How to Stop a War: The Lessons of Two Hundred Years of War and Peace by James F. Dunnigan. Conflict is always a popular political topic. The nature of conflict resolution less so, but no less full of geeky, fun detail.

Cracks in the Constitution by Ferdinand Lundberg. Enlightening survey against common misconceptions about the attributes, scope, and history of the American constitution.

The Washington Pay-off by Robert N. Winter-Berger. Somewhat dated as an expose of how things get done behind the headlines. The technical details of lobbying differ today, but the general system as Winter-Berger describes it remains in full force.

>>>/pdfs/ for suggestions, obviously.

2. Philosophy:

I have a 1960s era general guide to various philosophers. The title escapes me at the moment. For more modern philosophy, online resources are sufficient. Anyway, the idea here is you'll go farther, faster with solid professional/academic guides. Hardcore types don't bother asking, they go right to the source. See >>>/philosophy/ for a few suggestions.

3. Science (specifically space):

Megastructures: Science and Speculation by Paul Lucas. Although, this comes at you from the idea of writing SciFi.

In that regard, pretty much any modern hard SciFi role playing game.

The Orion's Arm website.

There are some interesting (if dated) general guides by Feynman, Asimov, etc. You'd do better by asking the respective boards for whaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I would recommend a whole list of books to you, but I see no reason to do this. I chose a couple of the best of those that I read. For example Calling for a Blanket Dance by Oscar Hokeah. The best of 2022 for me. I also started reading about biography, I use https://happyessays.com/free-essays/biography/ for that. I can refer Anna: The Biography by Amy Odell to such topics. I also read about all the famous people. really learned a lot and took it out for myself. Many people do not find time for this, but you just need to properly distribute your time for the day. I also encountered this, with the right schedule - there will always be time for a book.

I don't know why you need this particular book. if you like reading this kind of stuff, it's very strange. In any case, google will help you. I recently found an essay grader, used https://edubirdie.com/essay-grader for this. You can find everything, you just have to want to. You just waste your time here, it's easier to find it yourself.

I just recently wrote autobiography essays, he used https://studymoose.com/essay-types/autobiography-essays for this. What is the book Game of Thrones worth! This is a world book and a series that has beaten all the ratings. He's definitely not lazy.

I was very impressed by these books and authors. I think need to be very talented to write a book. I would not be able to cope with such a things, because my writing skills are very modest. So I decided to ask for help in writing. And plagiarism checkers helped me in this https://writinguniverse.com/best-plagiarism-checkers/ The reviews help me choose the option that suits me. It was the right decision because it not only simplified my task but also gave a better result.

I like studying philosophy. I have been interested in philosophical literature since I was in high school. Later, when I was at university, I started to write essays on philosophy. Now I am a professional writer for uk essay writing service https://www.brillassignment.co.uk/essay-writing-services/ and I am always ready to help guys who have difficulties with such assignments. Even now I continue to study the laws of philosophy.

I read a lot of different books and genres. It was this one that I liked 7 out of 10. I just realized that it was not quite for me. I started reading short versions. For example about juvenile delinquency, I use https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/juvenile-delinquency/ for that. So I get complete information in a short period. I also read literary reviews, try it, maybe you will like it too.

What is the best kind of bookmark? What do you use for bookmarks?

I've been using random things like business cards, and drawing arrows on both sides to denote what line I am on. Sometimes the bookmark gets moved accidentally between readings, though.

>Scared of composing one. I'm documenting a story that came from my subconscious. It has a weird, dream-like rate, but some regions I don't fully comprehend can come off as attempting to be profound for the sake of living in-depth.

- Why not use some essay grader service for such types of writings like https://edubirdie.com/essay-grader or give some relative to look at your work and give feedback?

>I'm afraid of drawing them because I don't enjoy messing with the story's innocence and having it lose that dream-like rate forming in the subconscious.

- Yeah, you are right; sometimes, original stories have weird taste, so to be sure, better to validate writing on real readers.

Its been 3 momths, I rewritten my first chapter like 17 times already, and I still can't write something I would be proud seeing on a bookshelf.

And so the time had come to pass.

The man stood before the towering palaedian, struck with fear. Not fear of harm, but of unknown. Unknown of what is to come of him and his family. Fear of no future for his children. Fear of the void.

Behind the man, at the other end of the living room, stood the wife soothing their children, assuring them all will be well.

He spoke, "I fear you."

… "You needn't fear, we are love."

Silence.

… "As it is, you have a choice." The options were shown to the man.

His mind was not ready for the download, immediately his cranium felt on the verge of exploding. He could feel his temples pulsing, his pupils dilated. Simultaneously he began to silently weep, he saw the spider web of the future unfold of each choice, of the many only 1 can be chosen, but of the many the choice was obvious.

The man "how can I know you will keep your word?"

More thoughts, nay memories, were transferred, then it became clear.

The man looked back at his family, with tears streaming down his face, looked at each in their eyes, looked back at the towering mirror, "lets go."

The man's body crumpled to the floor and the figure stepped over the figure sprawled upon the floor, striding to the fractured family amidst the throes of agony, the palaedian spoke "we must leave now."

Despite the woman's agony, despite her knowing what her husband had said, despite knowing these "beings" were not the emotional creatures humans were, at least not in the same sense that she could understand, she could hear the tones of pain and agony in "it's" voice, similar to her, now dead, husband.

.

.

.

It was not until many decades later, when she too was faced with the same decision, the same history was shown her, by a similar towering mirror, did she understand why his voice was inside "it's" mouth.

After she too made the same choice did she realise that there more than two palaedian's in their family room that night, not in shadows, or behind walls, but onPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

So it works with everything, even if you need to write something small, you still rewrite it several times. I once wrote an essay on Hamlet and rewrote it more than ten times. Although there are only 1000 words, I'm scared of what will happen if I want to write my book. At some point, I even started to take finished works from https://eduzaurus.com/free-essay-samples/hamlet/, but I still decided that I would write it myself. So I think it's normal when you rewrite a lot and have a lot of doubts about your work. It shows how much you care about it and its importance to you.

Schizophrenia is defined at 19th century. But there was schizophrenia before. In each nation. At that time, nation tops have relation each other. At 19th the world become global. Schizophrenia is like Nietzsche.

統合失調症は19世紀くらいに定義された。旧名、精神分裂病。ただその前も、あったのだろう。国の中に限られて。国のトップみたいなやつは、よその国同士で繋がりはあったと思うけど。19世紀くらいで、グローバルになったからだろう。おそらくニーチェの感じのことをやらせるような

I haven't come across this informational graphic too often, although I'm also curious about it. Though my activity is a little connected with it. Although, I come up with some ideas on my own and also look for information on the Internet. This source helps me with pattern graphic bundles https://masterbundles.com/graphics/patterns/black-and-white/ It's great that there are similar sources where you can get inspired and get fresh ideas.

There is a book that I read when I was 13 (26 now)… I can't remember the name of it, but I do remember the basic plot. IIRC, seemingly everybody in the world save for a single class of college students vanished. One of the characters had a twin sister who she had an empathic link with, and she felt her sister just disapear. Meanwhile, even animals vanished, and the students begin vanishing unless they have someone to love - One of the main characters vanished suddenly as well. It ends with the class essentially splitting into two groups, the degenerates who just want to fuck all day, and the main characters who fuck off in a private plane to some other location, trying to meet up with people who contacted them via radio signal.

Really bad synopsis, but its all I can remember, save for one part where one of the main characters says he hates acid jazz because you can't dance to it.

Anyone happen to know what book I'm talking about? I know it was the first part in a series, but other than that, I can't remember. I'd like to try and read it again, just to see if the parts I didn't understand when I was a kid would make sense now.
